Hello WIN METHOD Yankee fans, the smartest baseball fans on the face of the earth. It has been a long time since I last blog posted. However, there have been comments within the blog from me. So here we go for 2021.
First, the Yankees will be in the playoffs again this season, but they also will play in the World Series. In talking with players, they are not happy with what they have achieved the past few seasons. They feel they have something to prove and want to do it now. Most of the players have undertaken a new or modified training program instituted by the training staff. Look for less injuries and less severe injuries this season. That will be a step forward and a plus for the team as a whole.
Second, Corey Kluber and Jameson Taillon both feel very optimistic with what each will contribute to the Yankees success this season. Both players believe their injuries are behind them. As of now, the Yankee starting rotation looks like it will have four men in the first four spots right now. Cole, Kluber, Taillon, and Montgomery. The fifth spot will be determined in March. The guys who do not make the fifth spot will either be sent to AAA Scranton or long relievers on the big team. Then the big guy Louie Louie Severino will make his return to the Bronx in June. The pitching staff looks solid and has many fall back arms to rely on. The bullpen remains solid and strong, also with several young arms looking to make an impact.
Third, the lineup will be solid again, more important, will be healthier. Runs will be put on the board. The biggest question mark will be at catcher. Catcher Gary Sanchez has been a black hole in the Yankee lineup recently, ala afraud in the past. Gary Sanchez is being mentored and talked to by coaches and trainers. Sanchez feels it is helping him, As the season starts, we will all see if it has. Sanchez himself is the only person who can really make it happen. It is up to him. A big WIN METHOD season from Sanchez would be a big help to the lineup and the team. If he does what he has been doing the last couple of seasons, Gary's days could be short lived.
As you all know I always read all posts by all of you who post here. Looking at the numbers of views recorded on the WIN METHOD blog there are also an enormous number of fans who read the blog consistently. You fans will take this blog, the number one Yankee baseball blog in the world over the one billion mark somewhere around June 1st this year. You are the people who take this blog in the direction you want it to go on a daily, weekly, monthly, or whatever time frame basis. This past year, we saw a very shortened baseball season, we saw a disgusting Chinese created virus, spread throughout the world by the most foul Chinese government, killing millions of people from all countries across the globe. We had a presidential election here in America. The election was the most corrupt election in the history of America stolen by the most corrupt politicians in America's history. We now have the most corrupt politicians in America's history running our country. They will do their best to destroy America. Hopefully, you the people will do whatever you need to do to stop the destruction.
It is now back to baseball and a great Yankee season. Thank all of you for reading and posting your views and opinions in this blog. You are the people who have made the WIN METHOD blog the best and greatest Yankee baseball blog, forum, or site in the world. We here are WIN METHOD will continue to have no signups, no ask for no personal information from you, no advertisements, and no bans of anyone. You, your views, and your opinions do not get canceled here. Unlike big tech, other baseball forums or sites which control you by banning or canceling you, here, that will never happen.
One more thing before I conclude. I would like to recognize the life and pay my respects to RUSH HUDSON LIMBAUGH III who passed away February 17th. Rush was the greatest radio and political commentator of all time. Rush's radio career spanned over thirty years. Rush's show was three hours a day, five days week, fifty-two weeks a year. Rush was right 99.8% of the time and one of the finest American patriots who believed in freedom and pursuit of happiness of every single American. Rest in peace, you will never be forgotten.
It is baseball time again. Lets look forward to a great season and as always LETS GO YANKEES.

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 2766 Newer› Newest»3-3 after 5.
Even at three after seven. Sanchez with another base running blunder.
Frazier with a run saving and maybe game saving diving catch in the 8th keeping score at 3-3.
3-3 after 9. On to little leaguer Rob Manfred extra inning baseball.
Yankee 10th. Men on 2nd and 3rd with one out Urshella strikes out. Bases loaded two outs Sanchez strikes out on pitch in dirt. To the 11th we go.
Frazier walk off home run wins it in 11th.
Final. Yankees win 5-3 in eleven innings. Frazier hero offensively and defensively. Diving catch in 8th saves a run and game goes to extra innings. HR in 11th for the walk off win.
Now, can the Yankees build on this win?
One exciting game to watch. Even better when you win.
Monty listed to start tomorrows game with Cole listed for Thursdays.
German allowed 3 runs in his five innings, however he pitched better than his line looks. The Yankee bullpen went six innings and did not allow a run. Cessa earned the win.
Using the law of averages, the Yankees have been so horrific producing when it counts so far this season, when things turn around at any time now, the rest of the season could be a barn burner.
Trying not to look ahead, but as a fan I am allowed to. If Monty keeps us alive tonight and the Yankees win, Cole goes tomorrow and we can win this series. That would be gigantic.
If the Yankees are so bad, as other Yankee forums suggest, then every team in baseball is also bad.
It appears Andujar is finding his batting eye. Just need to keep him in the lineup. Seems to be not having any issues with left field defensively.

ALERT...Yankees score first on Urshella two run homer. Up 2-0 in first.
Yanks up 2-0 after 2.
Yankees hold a 4-2 lead thru 5.
Yankees repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot. Chance after chance to put this game away and failure after failure keeps Rays in game. The ultimate boondoggle came in the seventh inning when the Yankees put the first two men on with no outs. Both men were picked off on the base paths with more horrendous baseball acumen. Yankees still hold 4-3 lead after seven.
Green goes a scoreless 8th.
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnn. 4-3 thriller. Lead series 2 games to 1.
Final. Yankees win 4-3. Monty earn the win. Loaisiga and Green holds. Chapman the save. Chapman had to work hard in 9th. Walked the first two hitters, struck out the next two, then got the third out on a comebacker. Urshella and Frazier two rbi's each for the offense. Not so good was the consistent failure to put the game away several times.
Another nail biter. But a win! Final 4-3.
Cole tomorrow with a chance to take this four game series. It is a big game. Not a season breaker or maker, but nonetheless a big game against the top division rival.
Monty did his job, kept us in the game, best of all he got the win.
yankeedoodledandy, Monty could have had an easier time of it if the offense would have produced a little more. They could have/should have scored several more runs.
Cole was given an extra day of rest from his last start, he should be a bit stronger for this start.
Nice win last night. The Yanks outpitched and outhit the Rays for the win. Do it again today. Watch out for possible rain drops.

Lets go Yankees, don't blow this opportunity to take this series.
The Yankees could use a lot of length from Cole this afternoon. A complete game would we well appreaciated.
Gardner third inning HR gives Yankees 1-0 edge.
Cole comes up empty again giving up five runs in five innings. Yanks trail 5-1. Umpiring is atrocious and has been a major factor in this game, all against the Yanks.
Yankees down 5-1 after 5. Cole out. 5 runs in 5 innings.
Final. Yankees lose 9-2. No excuses except for the one constant. Yankees are not producing when it counts. Again today, men on second and third no outs and the Yankees do not score.
Todays home plate umpire was pathetic. He set a new standard for pathetic. All his calls were one sided.
Boston come to town for a three game weekend series. First time we play sux this season. Need to win this series.
King, Taillon, and German are the Yankee starters for the weekend series with the sux.
The goal has to be to sweep the sux. The offense will come alive and click at some point.
MLB umpires are as bad as Manfred. Grossly incompetent.
Up and down, down and up. See the ball, hit the ball. Contact, contact, contact. Hit the ball where it's pitched.
How would yesterdays game changed if when the Yankees had men on 2nd and 3rd with no one out and they scored runs compared to not scoring at all? So much of baseball is WIN METHOD mental.
Louie Louie, Britton, and O'Day will all make an impact this season and all will be positive.
I apologize if I missed it, but I don't recall seeing any mention of Urshella's playing at shortstop except that he was playing the position
From what I say Urshella lays over Torres at the shortstop position. More range, better arm, better footwork, and smoother all around. But then again, you could say that about almost anyone playing shortstop in MLB.
I will be surprise if the Yankees do not pound Eovaldi and knock him out of the game tonight.
Swen Jorgenson, I agree with your comment. Urshella only played a couple of games a short however, but he did look far better than Torres in all aspects of defense.

Lets go guys, start hitting when it matters most. Time to play WIN METHOD baseball and take charge.
Lets go Yankees.
Three innings complete. Yanks down 3-0.
Yanks down 3-0 after 4.
Final. Yankees lose 5-2. Not only lose, but play lackluster and listless game. Strikeout after strikeout, no contact and more no contact. What is going on?
The Yankees were down 3-0 when they came to bat in the first inning. Both LeMahieu and Stanton singled to start the inning. Judge up an what else, we get a double play grounder that took all the air our of the Yankees. I bet the bench felt exactly as I did watching on TV, ...here we go again... As it turned out it was over, the Yankees only scored 2 runs in the game.
I don't know how much more of this I can take. Something has got to give. Fresh blood one way of the other.
Judge reminds me of our old friend afraud. Only regarding baseball, not character nor personality. Judge and afraud both had/have gaudy individual stats, but you never want either at bat when it matters most and the game is on the line.
Taillon starts tomorrow night.
Really could use the last two games against the sux.
As a team everyone has to do better. No player should be paid to fail. For example, if the Yankees do not make the playoffs this season, no player should get a raise of any kind for next season. Screw the players union. Fire everyone and bring up a roster of minor leaguers from A, AA, and AAA. Have some fun doing it.
The Yankee lineup is putting a lot of pressure on the Yankee pitchers by not scoring runs. Our pitcher make a bad pitch or two and give up a three run HR and two run double. Out opponents pitchers make bad pitches and it really makes no difference because we strike out 15 times and when we do hit the bad pitch we hit into a double play or popup with a runner on third and less than two outs.

Chris Gittens up from AAA and at first base tonight. Judge in CF again flanked by Andujar and Frazier. We need to win.
But does Gittens strike out enough to play for the Yankees.
We score first and lead 2-0 on Torres 2 run home run in fourth.
The nightmare in the Bronx continues as Green gets lit up for four two out runs in 8th putting Yankees down 7-3. My opinion is Boone has got to go.
Final. Yankees lose 7-3. No comment. I am very disappointed.
German starts tomorrows game, not to win this series, but to try to prevent a sweep. How bad is it going to get?
Taillon pitched his heart out last night. No runs over five innings. He has not gotten an out in the sixth inning this season. He should never have been sent out to pitch in the sixth inning. That is on the head of manager Aaron Boone.
Ruining another weekend. I really think this is my least favorite Yankee team of all time. 45 years. There were worse ones that were much more interesting.
I'm not sure what Aaron Boone does well. I think he comes across badly with the media (hiding injuries, lame excuses, etc) and has consistently poor in-game strategy. While it can be argued that a key role of a manager is the work they do behind the scenes in the clubhouse, the result of that behind the scenes work should be players and a team that perform at potential and have good fundamentals (which clearly is not happening).
I hope everyone would understand this. Getting rid of Boone is like putting on a Band-aid on a bullet wound. Until Cashman and his staff are cleaned out nothing will change. The bigger problem may be that we have an owner who may not care and or doesn't know any better.
YankeeMike, I agree. Reminds me when CBS owned the team and ran it into the ground. That is when Mr.S. stepped in and made the buy of the lifetime. He made the Yankee great again. Hat is CBS and destroying the Yankee name. Either he changes his outlook or hires someone who does and has free rein on yes making the Yankees great again.

Yanks up 3-1 after 4.
Extra little leagues innings tied at four.
Yankees lose in ten 6-5 and get swept by sux. The bottom has not been hit yet?
Yankee with on off day tomorrow before hitting the road.
Final. Yankees lose 6-5 in ten innings of Manfred garbage baseball. Yankees keep finding ways to beat themselves. Odor pinch hitting in 9th inning and the game hanging in the balance is called out on a 3-2 pitch that was outside by six inches. Nothing good is happening for the Yankees, but I still believe it will and when it does the Yankees will roar back to life.
Yankee fans, take a DEEP BREATH. We will overcome and we will make the playoffs and more this season. The race is not over until the finish line is crossed. Yes we can and yes we will.
What is up with Boone, and the third strike call on Odor that wasn't near a strike? That was such a bad look for Boone. I t was one of those moments that are tailor made for the manager to come out and blow a gasket. Who knows if it would have galvanized the team but it looks really bad that Boone didn't seem to care that his player just got screwed over by the umpire, and that his 3rd base coach who is too sick to even be out on the field showed more fire with an IV port still in his arm.
Ken Rosenthal just said on the MLB network to NOT expect the yanks to be active at the trade deadline because of the luxury tax. Hal, PLEASE sell the team!
Elections Daily says it’s a “somewhat surprising result” that the mayoral race in McAllen, TX has flipped Red because the city an almost 85% Hispanic population. Should it be that surprising when legal US citizens stop voting democrat, liberal, progressive because they want a safe and secure border!!!
Montgomery and Cole starting Tuesday and Wednesday. No one named for Thursday yet.
Yankees ten game series.
001-010 5-5
010-020 4-6 = 9-11
021-030 7-3 = 16-14
031-040 6-4 = 22-18
041-050 7-3 = 29-21
050-060 2-8 = 31-29
This 2-8 ten game series is atrocious. It wiped out the gains of the two previous series in half the time. Ten more series left and if the Yankees win everyone of them they will likely go to the playoffs. Playing like garbage early creates more pressure as the season progresses and makes winning that much harder. WINS are the only stat that counts and the only one that matters.
Cory, 2-8 is a disgrace. There is a way to correct that to some degree. Must go 8-2 or better these next ten games.
The Yankees need to not only win every series, but also sweep several. Marching in place will not allow them to make the playoffs in my opinion.
Game is in Minnesota tonight starting at 8pm.
A positive, do not be surprised if you see Louie Louie Severino making start in Yankee Stadium during this month.

Yankees behind 2-0 thru four. 0-4 when it matters most so far.
One weird game tonight. Yankees take lead in the top of eighth 5-3. The oddity, the Yankees have scored all five of their runs without a base hit or home run. Walk, sac-fly, wild pitch, fielders choice, and another fielder choice.
Final. Yankees win 8-4. A little bit of everything for the win, against a poorer team.
One, after one comes two.
Cole starts tonight's game against the Twins. Build one game at a time.
It won't be easy for Boone and the Yankees have a 100 win season this year.
Meaningless runs by Yankees in the 9th last night. It was nice to see and provided a pretty secure cushion, but. A two run HR from Sanchez and a solo HR by Andujar sealed last nights win.

Yanks lead 5-1 after 3.
Yankees pounding Minny, up 8-1 in fifth.
Final. Yankees win 9-6. Kriske in a cleanup 9th inning gives up four runs. Judge, Andujar solo home runs. Stanton a 2 run home run and a 3 run home run. Cole six innings 2 solo home runs in an easy stress free outing. TWO.
King will start tomorrow nights game.
Another step forward last night. A win tonight would mean a series sweep making the three steps forward a giant step.

All right handed impressive lineup. What is the over-under of Happ finishing five innings?
Five innings, Yanks lead 4-2.
Happ does not come out for the sixth, he completes five innings so the over/under is a push. But Happ was very lucky going the five innings, he was hit hard in every inning.
Yanks with 5-3 lead thru 7.
I bet if you watch a replay of this game you would find double digit defensive plays by the Twins that have kept them in the game.
Chapman in for the save try as they start the bottom of ninth.
Yankees have very unusual off day tomorrow, a Friday, which is very rare. Then play a two game series in Philadelphia. Saturday at 4pm with Taillon starting and Sunday at 1pm with German starting. Chapman gives up lead off single and then a game tying home run, still nobody out and a blown save. Third batter singles and each hit was very hard hit. Oh my fourth batter hits home run and Yankees lose 7-5. What a disaster.
Final. Yankees lose 7-5 in ninth as Chapman comes in with a two run lead and gives up single, home run, single, and home run. Every ball was hit like a rocket. The sweep is blown and a step backwards is taken. Not good at all. Has to be a major loss.
Chapman blows a 2 run lead and game facing just four batters, single, HR, single HR. Yanks lead all the way and die.
Tonight was a horrible loss. I can't believe what I saw. It all happened in two minutes.
Yanks23245, it was your fault. You jinxed us. Why would you even think about talking about the next games before this one was over. You fool.
I had to wait a little while to post. I was crying. What a loss, what a sad way to lose.
One heck of devastating loss. What can you say, how can you explain it.
A dagger in the heart tonight.
Chapman threw just nine pitches to give up four runs.
How many times can this team shot themselves in the foot before they bleed to death?????
After last night I need a day off from this season, but I will carry on until the final curten.
I wouldn't think that after last nights game the Yankee team will have a pleasant day off today. Same for the fans.
Parler.com being the only uncensored free to all commenters, I found this comment which is 100% accurate..
"""""Looking back there is little doubt that the worst thing that happened to the USA was the election (twice) of Obama. Obama stated his goal was to' fundamentally change America'. After two terms and the disaster he made of America with his radical left wing liberal democrat policies and his support and enabling of Islamic terrorists and terrorism he was replaced by America's greatest President Donald Trump. President Trump reversed the downward trend Obama put America on and America started to rise from the cesspool Obama created. America was becoming great again. Now via a corrupt election we have a third term of Obama in the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration. You all see where America is headed again. The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration and the radical left wing liberal progressive democrat party must be destroyed forever. VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION YOU ARE LEGALLY ABLE TO VOTE IN AND VOTE CONSERVATIVE TRUMP SUPPORTING CANDIDATES."""""
I agree, NEVER vote for any democrat, liberal, progressive left wing, socialist, politician running for any office/position, anywhere in America. Bury these corrupt pieces of garbage.
Wolverine Willie, The left wing media sites, are racist, liberal, democrat scum sites. They post only one sided views and ban opposing views. Hell, they banned the greatest President America has ever had in Donald Trump.
VOTE TRUMP SUPPORTED REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVES. Never vote for democrat liberal progressive, left wing radical swamp wallowers who support the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration of death and despair for America.
Believe me I know, I'm from Seattle.
Chapman said his velocity was down. My questions to him, why was your velocity down, and did you tell anyone before you came into the game that you did not have your velocity?
No Yankee game on a Friday night. That's a loser.
The other four team in the AL East are playing each other, so we will lose a 1/2 game to the two winning teams and gain a 1/2 game to the two losing teams.

No designated hitter (DH) no Stantoo. Need to win.
Taillon, first inning, crashes and burns, blows up, and dies a quick death. The only out he got was caught at the right center field wall.
Yankees trailing 5-2 thru 4. Not producing when it counts. LeMahieu leads off 4th with double, Judge, Torres, Urshella don't move him an inch.
Louie Louie while pitching minor league rehab game in Brooklyn strained his groin. Severity unknown at this time. If it wasn't for their bad luck the Yankees would have no luck at all.
DJ 3 run homer in 9th ties game 7-7. Phillies coming up. Chapman coming in.
3-3 after nine. Again, little league extra innings.
Final. Yankees lose 8-7 in ten. Tenth inning. Yankee batters with a men on second to start the inning, make no contact, never move the runner and K 3 times. Philly, same situation, bunt to move runner to third batter reaches first on error. CONTACT is good. Batter grounds to third and man on third scores. CONTACT is good and Phils win.

I wish Joe Girardi was still the Yankee manager, for a lot of reasons.
Watching todays game, it's a pleasure watching hitters hitting the ball to the opposite field so often, producing when it counts so often and winning. That is what you get from a Joe Girardi led team. Unfortunately that team is not the Yankees. Yankees falling behind early again today. Down 4-0 after 2.
Yankees look pathetic and trail 7-0 thru five innings. Each day they keep getting deeper in the hole. The character of this team is sad to watch and no one in charge is doing a darn thing about it.
Final. Yankees lose 7-0. The Yankees playing without resolve, embarrass themselves this afternoon with lifeless ineptitude as their manager watched the game from the top step of the dugout blowing bubbles.
Another off day tomorrow and then three with Toronto in Buffalo. We could be double digits out very quickly if not sooner. Does Hal Steinbrenner even know what is happening, more important does he even care.
If something bigtime is not done really really soon by the Yankees, it will be too late. Waiting for the trade deadline in my opinion will definitely be too late.
Montgomery, Cole, and King listed for the Blue Jay series. No news yet on Louie Louie. Had MRI today and meeting with doctor tomorrow.
As of now there is no new news on Louie Louie Severino groin injury.
Warren Hammond, we could know by the all star game break if the Yankees are toast or not for this season. The way things are going, it does not look good.
Stat frauds, analytics, fake formulas, meaningless stats, are all ruining baseball.
I know that "the game" has changed and there is more focus on analytics, but what made the teams in the 90s so great was that they PLAYED AS A TEAM. Everyone contributed, sure there was Jeter who was in a class by himself, but everyone had a role and everyone did their own thing well. Clutch homeruns, not always swinging for the fences. Need to move runners over a base, hit a sac fly, bunt..........no problem, they could do it -- small ball and timely hits and good pitching. In other words, the WIN METHOD. Everyone playing for the team to win, and not for themselves or their individual stats.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT GAME PLAN.
I don't care what analytics tell you, exit velocity is garbage if you can't do anything else. HOW HARD IS IT TO BUNT OR MAKE CONTACT.
I just don't get it. Burn the stats and the stat frauds. A home run is a home run no matter how far it travels. Heck, you can hit a home run and the ball never leave the playing field. A home run hit at 80 mph is the same as one hit at 120 mph.
Sports media is now chiming in on something I predicted weeks ago here:
It’s time for Yankees to replace Aaron Boone with Buck Showalter
https://www.nj.com/yankees/2021/06/its-time-for-yankees-to-replace-aaron-boone-with-buck-showalter.html
Press release on Louie Louie......
In his second minor-league outing in his rehab program for Tommy John surgery, Severino retired five hitters before bowing out in the second inning with what appeared to be a painful-looking groin injury. Severino was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Sunday, but the Yankees likely won't reveal the results of those tests until after he's examined by team doctors. More information regarding the extent of his groin injury along with a timeline for him to resume his rehab assignment should come soon, but even if Severino's setback is deemed minor, he still may be hard-pressed to make it back from the 60-day injured list before the end of July.
Grosner, do you think Showalter will be allowed to do whatever he wants as long as Cashman is in charge and pulling the strings?
Yankeeforever, we can only hope for the best and hope the groin does not end Louie Louie's season.
Does Cashman and the Yankees want to embarrass Boone by firing him? His contract runs out this season, and they just don't have to rehire him for 2022. That way the new guy starts with a clean slate. What if the guy they put in now, if they do, does even worse than Boone?
BIGTIMEYANKEE, what is most difficult to swallow is the fools who are buying what the stat fraud geeks are selling.
Waiting for news on Severino better known as Louie Louie.
It will be interesting to see what the Yankees bring to the table this series. What with the talk of firing Boone and or Cashman plus Hal Steinbrenner not caring about the team of winning. Is there anyone or two or several players with character who care about winning and playing winning baseball, or is everyone just going through the motions and living the good life of the overpaid underperforming society of I got mine, the hell with you.

6. Gary Sanchez (R) C
7. Miguel Andujar (R) LF
8. Chris Gittens (R) 1B
9. Brett Gardner (L) CF
Frazier didn't even make the lineup against a left handed pitcher. Gardner beats Frazier offensively and defensively. Do the Yankees earn a win?
Louie Louie has a grade two groin strain and will be sidelined four to six weeks.
It sure looks as if the Yankees haven't emptied the gun yet, another shot in the foot as they trail the Blue Jays 5-2 after four innings. Game is not over yet, you never know.
5-3 Toronto after six.
Final. Yankees win 6-5 coming back from a 5-2 deficit. A true team win playing the game the way it should be played. Producing offensively and pitching when it mattered most.
The bullpen came up big to win, hold, and save the game. Can we turn the season around. Lets hear it. YES WE CAN
Cashman in yesterdays press conference said that no one would be terminated during the season. We made our bed and we will sleep in it. Confidence or lunacy.
YES WE CAN
YES WE CAN
I’m hoping for more nights like tonight.
YES WE CAN
Cole tonight. YES WE CAN.
It's possible Severino could be back by September 1st.

6. Miguel Andujar (R) LF
7. Rougned Odor (L) 2B
8. Kyle Higashioka (R) C
9. Brett Gardner (L) CF
We hit when it counts and score runs we win. That's all it takes.
.667 ball the rest of the way makes the playoffs with authority. YWS WE CAN.
Yankees in the hole 2-1 thru 5.
Sanchez two run pinch hit home run in seventh gives Yankees 3-2 lead.
Yanks lead 3-2 after 7. Sanchez when it counts 2 run HR.
Yankees win a nail biter 3-2 in a cliff hanging 9th inning as Chapman pitches into big trouble and pitches out of it for the save.
Final. Yankees win 3-2. Game wasn't easy and was in doubt until the last pitch. Chapman comes in for the 9th inning for a save attempt. First batter single, second batter double, men on 2nd and 3rd no outs. Third batter K's for first out. Fourth batter bounce back to Chapman and runner on 3rd is tagged out in a rundown for the 2nd out. Men on 1st and 2nd. Fifth batter flies out to center. Cole gets the win, Chapman gets the save, Yankees get the win.
One game at a time, one win at a time.
YES WE CAN!
A win for the sweep is bigger than just another win. A win tomorrow might be the first step in turning this season around.
King starting for Yankees in final Toronto game. He will need to be sharp and come up big to keep Yanks in game. Hopefully the Yankee bats will find the baseball when it matters most.
King has the stuff to be a really good pitcher. He is still learning and gaining confidence. We need our starters to step up and WIN.
Paul, you can add in the aging, ripening, maturing process as well. Pitchers, as they learn, eventually the light bulb shines and they become formidable entities for a team.
Listening to David Cone last night Cole lost over 200 spin rate from his previous start. Now lets see, Cole gave up 2 runs over 8 innings, which is very normal for him. So, I would be led to believe that spin rate means little to nothing and is yet another meaningless stat from the frauds.

A win tonight means a series sweep and a three game sweep of a series is a good thing. Against a good divisional rival, it is a big thing. YES WE CAN.
Score first and score often, and win. YES WE CAN.
King's first inning. Walk, single, wild pitch. Men on second and third no outs. Get Guerrero to hit into a weird triple play.
Yanks up 3-2 after 3.
3-3 after five.
Yanks down 4-3 after 6.
Stanton 2 run homer and Gittens 2 RBI pinch hit single in seventh plate 4 runs and put Yankees up 7-4 mid seventh.
Yankees sweep Toronto series with a 7-4 win.
Final. Yankees win 7-4. Sweep series. Getting more production when it matters. Getting good pitching when it matters.
I have read several post here on this blog regarding Aaron Boone not getting fired up with players and umpires when required. Remember, he recently had a pacemaker installed in his body to help control his heart. I believe one of the protocols post surgery is not losing your mind and blowing your top. Just saying!
Yankee score was 8-4 win last night. I posted 7-4. The reason I posted 7-4 was that I read a previous posters post and did not think. Sorry fans.
Yankees back home tonight and have a three game series with the Oakland A's. Taillon, German, and Montgomery will be the Yankee starting pitchers. Will the Yankees keep producing and win this series? YES WE CAN.
For the Yankees to win the division and or make the playoffs, there is not that much room for losing streaks. The Yankee big losing streaks need to be over and done with for the rest of the year. Only wins and winning can get them of any team into the playoffs. Baseball is all about winning, nothing else matters.
Last nights Yankee triple play was the first of its kind in the history of baseball. It was a
1-3-6-2-5-6 triple play, pitcher, to first baseman, to shortstop, to catcher, to third baseman, to shortstop. Baseball, the worlds greatest sport continues with first evers even after well over 100 hundred years of games.
I had two great thrills out of last nights game. First, the first inning triple play, and second Chris Gittens big 2 RBI single taking an outside pitch and driving it on a line to right center for two gigantic runs which secured the game.
Still haven't heard anything on Torres back issue after being taken out of last nights game.
Margo Walley, hitting the ball to the opposite field? What a novel concept. And how about Gardner's sacrifice bunt, thought bunting was tabooed by the stat fraud imbeciles.
Todays Yankee Lineup
Jameson Taillon (R) P

Glad to see Torres in lineup after leaving last nights game.
2-2 after 4.
Taillon keeps Yanks in game for five innings and leaves with a 2-2 tie.
Yankees trail 5-3 thru 8.
Final. Yankees lose 5-3. Wandy Peralta blows the game allowing a 3 run HR in the 6th after 2 out and no one on. Yanks failed to get the hit when it mattered several times.
German tries to even series tomorrow. Sat and Sun games both at 1pm.
You can't win them all, but we need to win more than we have been doing this season.
If we do not win these last two games we will have will take a step backwards. Losses is the only thing that prevents players and teams of reaching the playoffs.

Frazier in for Andujar. Sanchez in e hole, not wise putting your slowest runner there in my view. Monty kept us in the game and we lost. Lineup needs to score much more consistently when it matters most.
