Greetings WIN METHOD baseball fans and those of you trying to save America from being destroyed by the people presently running/ruining America right now. Eight months is a long time between blog posts, but once this season got rolling, I didn't want to upset the applecart.
The 2022 season, what can I say? So far so good. This team seems to be on a mission and their goal is the World Series. The mid-point of the season seemed to be a good time to chime in. Having a thirteen-game lead on your closest competitor is a pretty good place to be in.
The YANKEE minor league teams have a great amount of up-and-coming talent developing through the system and should make for a consistent playoff team for many years to come. The loser fans who are not happy with making the playoffs consistently have issues to deal with in their thought process. Since the onset of the WIN METHOD, the YANKEES have been the winningest team in all of baseball and have never had a losing season. Unfortunately, no team can win the big prize all the time, and no team can even play for the big prize all the time, however, no team comes close to playing for and winning the World Series more than the YANKEES.
Here is a bit of information all WIN METHOD YANKEE fans should love hearing, here it is, Aaron Judge will finish his career in a New York YANKEE uniform.
Now, as the YANKEES continue through this season, it appears apparent to most YANKEE fans, the YANKEES need to do some tinkering with player personnel to upgrade the team in certain positions. Let me tell you, YANKEE management is well aware of these concerns and are addressing them. I cannot divulge who, how, where, when, and what will be done, because it is an ongoing process with many variables that must be considered and accounted for. Please remember fans, the YANKEES management makes the final decisions after hearing all input from many sources. Then after all is concluded, it always comes down to the performance of the players on the field when it matters and counts most. No individual stat of any player is more important than the team winning. Wins and winning are in the final analysis the determining factor in the best players and teams are every season.
The YANKEES have been playing .700 baseball so far this season and that is outstanding. Just playing .600 baseball for the rest of the season will carry them to the playoffs.
WIN METHOD fans, you all know when this blog started, how it has grown, and number of views that it has received over the past fourteen years. It is the number one YANKEE baseball blog, forum, site, message board in the world. WIN METHOD fans, you did that. Many of you have come from other sites that have either failed or folded, are struggling with minimal views, or are still in operation, but are of poor quality where posters are not really allowed to speak freely. You WIN METHOD fans have this blog on track to reach one billion four hundred million views this year. THANK YOU ALL, THE GREATEST AND MOST INTELLIGENT BASEBALL FANS ON EARTH.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 1750 Newer› Newest»Clarke Schmidt in for the seventh. Three innings from him would be great.
Final. Yankees win 6-0. Cortes six shutout innings for the win and Schmidt three shutout innings for the save. It sure looks like Cortes is the ace of the staff. Good production when it mattered today from the offense made for a comfortable win. Yankees take the series.
After last nights Cole fiasco, a good and needed win today. Wins are all that matters.
Off day tomorrow. Perfect timing to figure out options for the rest of season. Injuries are always a factor and a teams depth becomes all important. Will a deal be forthcoming in the next nine days? OK, as long as you don't sell the farm and stay away of sickening huge dollar contracts which hurt much more often than they help.
Mets up next for Yankees. Two game series Tue. and Wed. Monty and German listed for Yanks.
Heads up people. Five months until Christmas Day.
Off day. Smile, be happy. Vote conservative republican. Yes we can.
Just say no to the Nationals re Soto unless the deal is well in our favor. The nationals are the ones in the hard place if they want to sell the team. If I am looking to buy the team I tell them right on front, I won't make an offer if Soto is traded. Don't get me wrong, I don't want Soto, I want to be the one dealing him for what I want.
No deals by anybody, yet. Who will fall?
August 2nd is just a week away. All quiet on trade deadline news.

No Stanton again. Subway series. Take NYC subways at your own risk.
Stanton placed on the 10 day DL. Tendonitis in his achilies heel.
Judge and Rizzo with back to back home runs in top of first. Monty says, I can beat that and then gives up four runs in the bottom of the first. Yanks down 4-2.
Yankees down 5-2 after 3.
Yanks down 5-3 after 6.
Final. Yankees lose 6-3. Monty dug the hole in the first inning giving up 4 runs. Yankees got back to back HRs in first inning from Judge and Rizzo and eked out just 1 more run the rest of the game. Had a chance or two but never produced when it mattered most. Monty couldn't get thru the third inning and gave up 5 runs. Yankee bullpen gave the offense a chance allowing just 1 run the rest of the game.
Monty came up short and lost the game pretty much on his own.
German starts tonight with Yankees needing a win to salvage the series.

Same as yesterday except for catcher. Different result?
Yankees trailing 2-0 thru four innings. German not great but is much better than in his last start.
After facing seven innings of brilliant pitching from Scherzer and being shutout, the Yankees see a Met reliever in eighth and the first two batters, Rizzo walks and Torres hits two run home run to tie game at 2-2.
Final. Yankees lose 3-2. Peralta loses it in 9th. Torres game tying 2 run HR in 8th Yankees only runs of game. Yankee did hit some rockets off of Scherzer but did not score off him in seven innings. Scherzer made Judge look awful K'ing him three times. Again, the Yankees never produced when it mattered most but for Torres' HR.
Next up a four game long weekend series with the KC Royals at Yankee Stadium. Taillon, Cole, Cortes, and Monty will start. How about winning this series.
The Yankees have announced an agreement to acquire outfielder Andrew Benintendi from Kansas City in exchange for pitching prospects Beck Way, T.J. Sikkema and Chandler Champlain. Yankees add another left handed bat, high contact, low strike out player. Benintendi can't hurt and the Yankees didn't give up that much, but you never know how the give-a-ways will develop. We got what we needed now.
Benintendi will make an immediate impact and will love Yankee Stadium.
Hopefully Benintendi signals the end of Gallo.

Welcone Andrew Benintendi. I can see LeMahieu getting a day off, but why is Gallo in lineup yet again? We need to win tonight for a 5-5 ten game set.
Hope Benintendi gets off to a good start and even produces when it matters most this weekend. NY can be a tough crowd. Lets go Yankees. DJ not playing and Gallo playing does not help. What is Boone's problem. The world can see Gallo is toast playing for the Yankees.
Scoreless thru two.
0-0 after 5.
Taillon goes six shutout innings and leaves with a no decision. Yankee only have one hit and have looked bad at the plate so far. Marinaccio in for the seventh inning.
Still no runs for either team after eight innings. Marinaccio throws two shutout innings and Holmes in for the ninth.
0 runs and 1 hit thru eight innings may be something you could expect when you have two of your best contact hitters on the bench in DJ and IKF, and a no contact three strikeout hitter in the lineup. Just saying!
Thhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeee YANKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES win. 1-0.
Final. Yankees win 1-0. Yankees get only their second hit of game in bottom of ninth, and it was a big one. Judge hits a walk off game winning home run. Tallion (6), Marinaccio (2), and Holmes (1), pitch nine shutout innings and Holmes gets the win.
Glad we won tonight. Pitching and one swing of a bat won it. A win is a win. A one run win has the same value as any other win by any amount of runs.
Ten game set log. 2022 Season
Set one----- 01 - 10--- 5-5-- 05-05..Not good. Playing .500 ball means no playoffs.
Set two----- 11 - 20--- 9-1-- 14-06..As good as it gets, almost perfect.
Set three--- 21 - 30--- 8-2-- 22-08..Another great ten game set. So far so good.
Set four---- 31 - 40--- 7-3-- 29-11..Not as good as the last two sets, but still good.
Set five---- 41 - 50--- 6-4-- 35-15..Very good set considering team injuries.
Set six----- 51 - 60--- 9-1-- 44-16..Another dominant set. Very strong.
Set seven--- 61 - 70--- 8-2-- 52-18..Yes, another great ten game set. The beat goes on.
Set eight--- 71 - 80--- 6-4-- 58-22..A good series. Half way home and 14 game lead.
Set nine---- 81 - 90--- 4-6-- 62-28..Due to happen, a losing set. Still 12 game lead.
Set ten----- 91 -100--- 5-5-- 67-33..Just holding our own maintaining a double digit lead.
Sixty-two games to go. Playoffs are in the bag and division title is more than likely.
Cole tomorrow. Offense needs a shot in the arm. How about playing LeMahieu and Kiner-Falefa and DFA Gallo the strikeout king, also known as the human fan.
Prove you are an 'ace' Cole. Take control and dominate, stop pussy footing.
Never forget what I say right now. Just say NO to Soto, and you will have done the right thing and never regret it. Remember, NO to Soto. It rhymes and resounds with wisdom.

bigbadwolf, from baseball's best baseball talent evaluator, thru you, to us and the smartest baseball fans in the world.
Lets win tonight and tomorrow and Sunday. Get back on track. That will surely upset the stat frauds.
Stat frauds are brain dead and are unable to grasp the concept of what it takes to win. Thus their love of numbers and made up formulas conceived by con artists who have made a very good living off them. Then their is WIN METHOD who has made a very good living producing when it matters most and producing more wins for the Yankees than any other team in baseball has won.
Judge two run home run gives Yankees 3-0 lead in third inning.
Cole does it again. With a 3-0 lead he allows 5 runs in the fifth inning putting Yanks in the hole 5-3. "Ace", doesn't look like it. Some awfully hard hit balls in inning with the capper being a 3 run homer.
Rain delay to start eighth inning with Yankees trailing 5-3.
Trailing 5-3 coming to bat in the 8th, the Yankees small ball for 4 runs to take a 7-5 lead, then Judge ice's game with a grand slam and an 11-5 lead.
Final. Yankees win 11-5. Abreu gets the win, as Yankee comeback with an 8 run 8th inning. Judge with a 2 run HR and a grand slam HR for 6 rbi's. Rizzo with a solo HR. Cole disappointing again, going six innings and giving up 5 runs.
Cortes starts tomorrow to try to take the series with KC.

Yanks up 6-2 after 5.
.Final. Yankees win 8-2. Judge 2 run HR, Carpenter and LeMahieu solo HR's. Cortes gets the win going five innings and giving up both KC runs. Chapman one perfect inning and Schmidt a three inning shutout save. Yankees win series and have a chance for a four game series sweep tomorrow.
Monty starts tomorrow as Yanks go for a four game series sweep. Only three games, but Benintendi has extended the lineup and has helped. Yanks haven't lost a game since he has been in the lineup.

Galloless again. Another win? A series sweep? Lets go Yankees!
Scoreless thru three.
Monty after throwing four brilliant innings, starts the fifth with a walk, walk, single, single, double and is pulled from the game. Abreu in with men on 2nd and 3rd and no outs.
Abreu gets ground out with runner from 3rd scoring. Gets second out on pop fly to center, and third out on foul popup to catcher. Monty charged with four runs and has put Yankees in hole again for second consecutive game.
Yankees come right back with three runs on Carpenter double, Higgy rbi single, and DJ 2 run HR. Down 4-3 after five innings.
Rizzo three run home run in bottom of seventh gives Yankees 6-4 lead and take Monty off the hook for a loss.
Holmes blow lead in 9th, giving up three run home run. Yanks down 8-6 and need 9th inning rally.
Homes blows save giving up three run HR. Is Chapman rubbing off on him?
Final. Yankees lose 8-6. Holmes blows save and game and gets the loss. Monty and Holmes totally responsible for the loss. Yanks win series and blow sweep. You can't win them all, but losing the way they did today was not a good look.
Tough loss, but it happens.
Start August off on the right note and win the first series against a likely playoff team.
Germain in the spotlight.
TRADE UPDATE --- The New York Yankees have right-handed reliever Scott Effross from the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs will receive right-hander Hayden Wesneski in return.
Effross is 28 years old and has made 61 career appearances in the majors. Effross is still a rookie, meaning that the Yankees could retain his rights through the 2027 season.
I think the Yankees will make at least one more deal and it won't include Soto, who in my opinion is a disaster on the horizon. Maybe acquire Montas?
Juan Soto first turned down a 13 year 330 million dollar contract and then a 440 million dollar 15 year contract. He is not worth the years nor the money. You will all see his failure over the next several years, if he lasts that long.

Can German keep us in the game and give us a chance?
TRADE UPDATE --- The Yankees are acquiring Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino from the Athletics. No other info right now.
This is the latest on Yankee/A's trade. The Yankees are acquiring Frankie Montas and reliever Lou Trivino from the Athletics. The A's will receive pitchers JP Sears, Ken Waldichuk and Luis Medina, as well as second baseman Cooper Bowman from the Yankees.
It looks like the Yankees will have some 26 man and 40 man roster adjustments to make. I wonder if Yankee pitching coach Blake can improve both Montas and Trevino and by how much.
The best part of these deals is the Yankees seemingly not getting buried by Soto, and his contract.
Now let's see how all this turns out during the rest of 2022 and then in 2023. Youngster chomping at the bit and want their chance at the brass ring.
Louie Louie place on the 60 day DL in roster move, as was Castro. Schmidt back to AAA.
Yankees take 3-0 first inning lead on Rizzo three run home run.
DJ single, Judge double, Rizzo home run. 3-0 Yankees after first three batters.
Judge with 2 run HR in 2nd makes it 5-1 Yankees. German is really struggling through first three innings. Mariners leave bases loaded in top of 3rd.
Yanks up 5-1 after 3.
German goes five innings allowing 2 runs but was in jeopardy most of game. Marinaccio goes a scoreless sixth. Yankees lead 6-2 after six.
Final. Yankees win 7-2. German five innings, gives up 2 runs and earns the win. Marinaccio, Chapman, Loaisiga, and Peralta all work one scoreless inning. Rizzo 3 run HR, Judge 2 run HR, and Trevino two solo HRs the offense. Take game one of this three game series.
Good job by the Yankees on their trades before tomorrow's deadline. Still rime for another.
Taillon starter for tomorrows game.
German was not real sharp last night, but he did produce when it mattered most and held the Mariners to just 2 runs over his five innings of work. He kept Yankees in game and that is what you want from your number six starter. Best, is he and the Yankees got the win.
Thank you WIN METHOD. Soto is not going to wear a Yankee uniform. I guess Hal loved when you told him Soto was not WIN METHOD and would be a giant waste of resources and money.
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Winnnnnnnnnnnn! No Soto.
Baseball fans, when you really think about it, and use your brain, you should easily see why the WIN METHOD is so good. It is not complicated nor convoluted, and it is not made up. It is common sense. You have a player (Juan Soto) refuse a fifteen year 440 million dollar contract to try to suck even more money from any baseball team owner willing to pay him whatever he is striving for. If the Yankee did what the Padres did, I can see why it would have been so devastating to the organization. You get a guy who is only playing for money and would play for anyone who would give him what he wants. You totally deplete your minor league system of its projected best talent at several positions. Nothing would thrill me more than to see the Yankees win the World Series this year or in the immediate future. Obtaining Soto would have prevented that and put a significant dent if not hole in the Yankee franchise financially. The Padres will be the ones suffering the consequences. I would much rather see our youngsters develop and become stars and lead the team very soon.
I know prospects don't often work out, but imagine if the Yankees made a trade for Jeter, Posada, and Pettitte in the 90s. There goes your dynasty.
Yankee rid of Gallo. Yanks trade Gallo to Dodgers for pitching prospect Clayton Beeter. Beeter does strike out hitters and is also wild and walk prone. If Yanks can fix him, watch for him. We gave up nothing for him.
Gallo gone opens a roster spot for someone who can produce.
Yankeeforever, if the Yankees moved Jeter, Posada, and Pettitte and the what we got for them did not win, we would never know. What we do know is not moving them created one of the greatest dynasties in baseball history led by the greatest MLB player over the past three decades in Derek Jeter, the face of MLB over his career.

Wash, rinse, repeat. Taillon with another good effort is what we want. Same for the lineup.
Yankees trade Monty to St. Louis Cardinals for centerfielder Harrison Bader. Personally, I can't figure out why. I would think the Yankees know something we don't have any idea about. WIN METHOD???
My head is spinning trying to keep track of who's coming and who's going. Just have to check the roster in a day or two.
I was shocked to see Monty traded.
Yankees down 3-0 after two. Taillon gives up two home runs.
Trevino three run home run in fourth gets Yankees back in game. Down 4-3 after four innings.
Rizzo solo and Donaldson 2 run homer tie game at six all after six innings.
Yanks down 7-6 after 7.
Final. Yankees lose 8-6. Luetge takes the loss. Taillon was awful. Yanks never led. Torres strikes out in 9th with bases loaded. Trevino 3 run HR, Donaldson 2 run HR, and Rizzo solo HR for all the Yankee runs.
Rubber game of this series with the Mariners tomorrow and Cole gets a chance to show he is an
'ace'. Can he keep the game close and give the Yanks a chance? Will he implode? Can he earn the win? Stay tuned and find out. Afternoon game at one o'clock.
From all appearances it looks as if Yankee GM made a strategical blunder when he traded away Monty for outfielder Harrison Bader from Cleveland. It looks as if Cashman may have thought he had another deal in place that fell through. The end result being the Yankees have lost a consistent rotation starter for absolutely nothing.

Yep! Judge not in lineup. Need a win to take series.
NJYANKEE.. There is no way anyone trades a starting rotation pitcher for a player to sit on the bench and offers nothing of value that you already have. This is a boondoggle.
So much of winning baseball is mental and psyche. Players come and go, up and to from the majors to minors and vice versa, players are traded, player become free agents, etc. When a player is moved for any reason there is logic, a plan, an idea behind it. The Montgomery loss has none of these thoughts to back it up. It is far worse than a boondoggle, it is an offense that in my opinion is immediately fireable.
Getting back to the mental and psyche part. I wonder how the players, coaches, manager, scouts, front office personnel think about this tragic event occurring in their organization.
We dodged a deadly bullet by not getting Soto. But we do have Cole and he is killing us with many wounds. The so called ace of the staff is starting game today. First inning, 1.single, 2.walk, 3.three run home run, 4.home run, 5.single, 6.Strikeout 7.two run home run, 8.ground out, 9.strikeout. One inning line 6 runs 5 hits. Pathetic. Can we get Monty back and give the Cardinals Cole? I thought I would have a pleasant afternoon of a good baseball game. Nooooooooooo, I'm very perturbed right now. 👿👿👿👿👿👿
BIGTIMEYANKEE, I think we may seeing how the psyche of the team was affected already today. Hope it is short lived. Or a psychiatrist is called in.
Final. Yankees lose 7-3. Failure from Cole again. Cole took the Yankees out of the game in just one inning to start the game. Cole gave up six runs and the Yankees never recovered. Amazing, German wins his game, Taillon and Cole do not in this three game series.
The Yankees are off tomorrow and then head to St. Louis to play the Cardinals a three game weekend series. The Yankees have named Cortes, German, and Montas to start. Time to regroup and play better baseball.
After reading on forums, sites, blogs, and the Yankee comments regarding the trade deadline deals. I am now going play devil's advocate and present my opinions and thoughts on what the Yankees may be attempting to do going in the post season.
I will start by making an assumption. The Yankees win their division and make the playoffs.
1.The Yankees will start the playoffs with their best players starting.
2.In the outfield, Benintendi LF, Bader CF, Judge RF.
3.In the infield, LeMahieu 3B, Kiner-Falefa SS, Torres 2B, Rizzo, 1B.
4.Catcher, Trevino.
5.Designated hitter, Stanton.
6.Rotation, Cole, Louie Louie, Montas, Cortes.
7.Bullpen, Holmes, Effross, Chapman. Loaisiga, Peralta, Taillon, Trivino, Marinaccio.
8.Bench, Higashioka, Carpenter, Hicks, Donaldson.
That is 25, that means one more name. Britton? Abreu? Locastro?
If the Yankees feel they have made the playoffs for sure, isn't it logical that they are trying to build and put the team into the best possible position for a post season playoff run?
If you are using individual stats to look at how the team is performing at any point of time frame during this season, you are an idiot. The only point and goal of the 162 game season is to make the playoffs. How it is done and how a team gets there does not matter and need not to conform to anyone's idea of how it should be done, particularly those of stat frauds.
Hobbs, I think you nailed it. When the playoffs start, the players who perform the best when it matters the most will advance their team. It looks, by what the Yankees did at the trading deadline, they have put in place a plan to compete with any team in the playoffs.
Hobbs, I agree. Just like in a horse race, winning by a nose is the same as winning by ten lengths. The payoff is the same. The Yankees making the playoffs is no different, once you make the playoffs that race is over. The playoffs are a new race and getting as best prepared for that race is smart.
You don't know who are going to play in the post season, all you can do is start the playoffs with the best team you can. It makes no difference what any stats say, what any stat frauds say, what any talking or writing heads say, or what any fan(s) think or say. You just to have to defeat whoever you are playing one win at a time, and one series at a time. There is only one way in the world to do that, and it is with WINNING and WINS. That is why the WIN METHOD is number one in the world. Everything else in Barbra Streisand.
But, but, but, when the highest paid high individual stat players don't make the playoff, it is never their fault, it is their teammates fault. Mike Trout anyone, the biggest failure in baseball for over a decade. Great player with great stats to have on your team if you don't want make the playoffs and enjoy losing.
Montgomery to start Saturdays game for the Cardinals. So we traded Monty and he is starting against us. We got Bader in return and he is on the DL. Seems reasonable.
Is it possible Cole was making a point to Cashman for trading Monty at the last minute for nothing? Monty was well liked by the other starters. Cole seemed to groove his pitches and they seemed very straight to me with no real break. I believe the Yankee announcers mentioned a couple of times in the inning how Coles pitches were down the middle doing nothing. The next five innings was a different story, five shutout innings, but he made his point, if indeed that was what he was doing.
FloridaYankee, interesting take. Could be feasible. BIGTIMEYANKEE, commented on the mental aspect of baseball and psyche. Today's world is crazy and insane and free falling into disaster under the policies of the scum joe-bama/commie MALADY administration. Bad things are happening in America and who knows just how each person is dealing with it. Great people are vilified and destroyed while criminals and corrupt politicians are heralded. Billionaires and bought and paid for politicians and the media are responsible for it.

Three game series opener. Get off to a good start with a win.
Torres batting in the cleanup spot tonight has come up in the first and third innings. Both times there was a runner on third with less than two outs. Torres saw three pitches in both at bats and struck out both times on pitches well out of the strike zone. He is slipping off the cliff. Hitters have up and down streaks, no doubt, but his down streaks seem to last a very long time.
Yankees leading 3-2 after seven. It's down to a bullpen game now.
Final. Yankees lose 4-3. Holmes blows another game giving up 2 runs in 8th inning for the loss. Torre two fails early in the game with runner on third base and less than two outs, failing to even make contact with the ball, striking out on three pitches both times. Donaldson and Carpenter basically the Yankee offense tonight. Still a loss.
Another could've should've loss tonight, leading all the way and Holmes cracks again and takes the loss.
German tonight to try to even the series. Come on guys.
With all the additions to the roster and being double digits in front for the divisional title, I feel like it is spring training and decision making time going into the stretch run.

Boone has eight right handed bats facing Montgomery. German needs to keep us in it. Bats need to produce when it matters most more than they have lately.
Good news. Torres did not strike out tonight with a runner on third and less than two outs tonight. He didn't get the chance. He came to bat with runners on first and second, so he hit into a double play. Sad.
Yanks down 1-0 after 4.
Final. Yankees lose 1-0. German gave up a first inning run, went five innings and takes the loss. The Yankees did get two hits. Yankees lose this series and need a win tomorrow to not get swept. Two one losses. But you have to look at the bright side, the Yankees only played with half a lineup tonight.
Here are some stats that are important and meaningful. Team won loss stats since July 1st for the five American League East Division teams
1 Baltimore 21-8
2 Tampa 17-14
3 Toronto 15-16
4 YANKEES 14-17
5 bosux 11-21
The fact is these games are just a trend. Trends have ups and downs. The defining stat will be at the conclusion of the season, that is when the final regular season won loss record will tell which teams make the playoffs and which teams go home to watch the best of the best players and teams in the post season.
Sorry stat frauds, all your fake formula stats and whatever else you use and claim are what defines players in teams gets flushed down the toilet bowl with everything you say about the meaningless stat you use.
Cory, thanks for your work. Stat frauds don't even know what their formulas and fake stats mean. They are told how to interpret the fake stats and how great they are. The frauds will demean players the fake stats tell them are bad and laud the players the fake stats tell them are great. It is exactly like the democrat liberal scum and the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration telling those stupid enough to listen to and believe them how great the country is doing. The stat frauds are unable and or unwilling to see and believe what is real. The stat fraud mantra is bah, baah, bahh, bah, baaaahhh.
The Yankee plan the way it looks to me, is to get everyone rested and as healthy as possible for the post season. I believe their lineup for October will be mentally and physically ready to do as much damage as possible. How far they go in the playoffs will be how much they players produce when it matters most to be the best. Let's go Yankees. Yes you can.
It never ceases to amaze me just how stupid so many baseball fans are. Baseball for decades was two leagues and only the team with the most wins went to the World Series went to it and only the team who won four games won the World Series. Baseball then started the playoffs and the playoffs have grown and grown. However, there is still just one way to get to the playoffs. Teams must win enough games. As the playoffs grew the number of series you had to win increased and the only way to move on was by winning. Until you reached the World Series and had to win four more games to become the best of the best.
Stat frauds hate the above paragraph. It defeats their narrative of fake statistics, luck, crapshoot, and them lying about why their great individual stat players make a fortune for failing to help lead their team to the playoffs and advance to the end.
Montas makes his first start as a Yankee today. Hope for the best, which unless the bats awaken may not be good enough.

Boy oh boy we could use a win.
Yankees score 4 runs for Montas in his first start as a Yankee in the first two innings. One problem, Montas gives up 6 runs in the first two innings. Yankees in hole again 6-4.
Yanks down 6-4 after 2.
The home plate umpire in today's game has called the worst game I have ever seen in my life. Very unbiased, he has disgusted hitters and pitchers from both teams equally disgustingly. He should be banned from baseball. But I can see Manfred praising him and his originality of calling balls and strikes while making up the strike zone any time he wanted to.
Boone thrown out of game for arguing balls and strikes in fifth inning. Yankees fighting back as Judge bases loaded 2 rbi double in fifth ties game at six all. Abreu and Loaisiga give lead right back allowing 3 runs in bottom of fifth. Yanks down 9-6 after five.
Yanks down 9-8 after 7.
Final. Yankees lose 12-9. Lineup came alive, but it was not enough to overcome poor pitching. Montas had nothing and gave up six runs. The bullpen was spotty and gave up six runs. Yankees got swept in the three game series and have now lost five games in a row. Look for a turn around this coming week. I feel it in my bones.
Up nest, three game series in Seattle, a hell hole city of the northwest. Taillon, Cole, Cortes starting for Yankees starting tomorrow night. Time for the worm to turn.
First step back, win the Mariners series. There is no second step until you complete the first step.
Awfully quiet here. Come on Yankee fans. We are going to the playoffs. LET'S GO YANKEES.

Got to win one of these days.
Trump Mara Lago home in Florida raided by the scum of America. What Donald Trump has gone through since he came down the escalator at his residence in New York City seven years ago and announced he was running for president of the United State is unconscionable. The people who are responsible must be held accountable and punished to the nth degree. Hang them!
In my opinion the people responsible for ordering this atrocity against the greatest President America has ever had, Donald Trump, and possible 2024 presidential candidate for president, have committed treacherous act.
The USA under the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration has become a third world dictator banana republic. There is only one answer to what has happened tonight.
These are dark times for our nation and an indelible stain on this present administration. This a disgrace and a slap in the face to the American people. Any person who accepts this persecution of a former president and possible presidential candidate in the 2024 election should be looked upon in a very negative way. This treachery by the liberal democrat scum of America must be stopped, and stopped now.
Yanks up 2-1 after 2.
Five innings. Yankee bats showing life like yesterday. Difference is Taillon hanging tough allowing just 2 runs. Yankees lead 7-2.
Yanks up 7-3 thru 7. Monty goes all 7 innings allowing 3 runs on 3 hits, 2 solo homers.
Final. Yankees win 9-4. Break losing streak. Donaldson and Judge solo HRs. Everyone contributed, and some good when it mattered most production tonight. Taillon earns the win with seven innings of three hit pitching allowing three runs. Chapman with a scoreless eighth.
Holmes in the ninth, HBP, and two line singles for a run. Still not right.
A FBI raid on a former president sets a dangerous precedent by implying the rule of law applies equally to everyone.
Ten game set log. 2022 Season
Set one------- 01 - 10--- 5-5-- 05-05..Not good. Playing .500 ball means no playoffs.
Set two------- 11 - 20--- 9-1-- 14-06..As good as it gets, almost perfect.
Set three----- 21 - 30--- 8-2-- 22-08..Another great ten game set. So far so good.
Set four------ 31 - 40--- 7-3-- 29-11..Not as good as the last two sets, but still good.
Set five------ 41 - 50--- 6-4-- 35-15..Very good set considering team injuries.
Set six------- 51 - 60--- 9-1-- 44-16..Another dominant set. Very strong.
Set seven----- 61 - 70--- 8-2-- 52-18..Yes, another great ten game set. The beat goes on.
Set eight----- 71 - 80--- 6-4-- 58-22..A good series. Half way home and 14 game lead.
Set nine------ 81 - 90--- 4-6-- 62-28..Due to happen, a losing set. Still 12 game lead.
Set ten------- 91 -100--- 5-5-- 67-33..Just holding our own maintaining a double digit lead.
Set eleven----100 -110--- 4-6-- 71-39..Another losing set. Still a double digit lead.
That is now four sets in a row playing totaling 19-21 baseball. To balance and put in perspective the six sets prior were 47-13. General consensus is a team can play .600 baseball over the entire season they will make the playoffs. It does not make any difference when you win or lose as long as you make the playoffs. 52 games left in the regular season.
Carpenter fractured his foot on a foul ball last night. May be lost for the season, maybe.
Cole face Mariners again. Will he make amends for his fiasco last time out?
Grosner, sorry, the rule of law does not apply to everyone, but it should. No president or presidential candidate has ever been raided by the FBI. However, the FBI has allowed democrat liberal scum to destroy evidence and do nothing about it. The FBI is now and has manipulated evidence, hid evidence, and created evidence, committing treason, in order to help and protect the democrat liberal scum and to hurt conservative republican patriots. I believe executions are in order.

Yankees have played 19-41 baseball over the last 40 games. They played 47-13 baseball the previous 60 games. The general consensus is if a team plays .600 baseball over the 162 game regular season they will make the playoffs. It does not matter when of how the games are won or lost. Fifty-two left to play.
MAGA 202, the republican FBI director who approved this raid was handpicked by Trump.
Of the three you wouldn't believe who is hurting America and the American people the most. 1. Is it Xi Jinping? 2. Is it Vladimir Putin? 3. Is it Joe Biden?
There may be a difference of opinion between people but there is no doubt who is hurting America and the American people the most. The answer is none other than Joe Biden and the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration. There desire is MALADY---Make America Last Again Destroy You. They must be destroyed before they destroy America and the American people.
The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration has corrupted almost all government agencies and these agencies are being used as tools to destroy America, the American people, America's history, America's culture, America's tradition, and America's morals.
Voting only for CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS in every election all over America is a start.
Grosner, there are far too many republicans who are part of and align with the disaster that is being perpetrated on the USA.
People, remember, this is the first time in history that what the Justice Department/FBI has ever committed this atrocity against a former president or presidential candidate. I would believe the final order had to come from the US Attorney General Merrick Garland. Prison for all involved.
A Yankee win tonight would win the series. It may help Cole also.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis weighed in on the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence Monday night; DeSantis says it’s just another example of the weaponization of federal agencies.
“The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves. Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic.”
NJYANKEE, no pun intended, but that is a tough break for Carpenter and the Yankees. Just another obstacle to play around. Green, Loaisiga, Stanton, Rizzo, Marinaccio, Louie Louie, Castro, Chapman, Britton, Rortvedt, Ridings, King. Anyone I forgot?
Trump is the first US president to payoff a pornstar, the first US president to not accept a peaceful transfer of power, the first US president who filed for bankruptcy, the first US president who had kids with three separate women so makes sense he would be the first US president to be raided by the FBI I guess. He is a groundbreaker. Good for him.
Just a reminder: Trump has a copy of the warrant, which will include what they searched for and what crimes they believe were broken. He can release it whenever he wants.
There are a lot of people not happy with what our corrupt vile government did yesterday raiding a presidents home. Hopefully their unhappiness will turn to votes and America will start to cleanse ourselves and get rid of the scum of America.
Grosner, several of your statements are patently false.
Trump was not at his Florida home when it was raided. The only entities responsible for transparency of what they were looking for are the people and agencies responsible for the treacherous break in.
Same old Grosner is back and still does no what he is talking about.
Grosner, you side with the wrong crowd.

It's on Cole's shoulders. Do it.
Lets go Yankees
okiened, it is amazing to see the Yankees where they are in the pennant race with so many injuries, several of which were season ending for the player involved.
Judge who green-lit raid at Mar-a-Lago donated thousands to Obama.
FBI would not let Trump attorneys in rooms as agents raided Mar-a-Lago, source reveals.
Americans sound off on FBI's raid of Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
God save America.
It will be interesting to say the least to see how Cole responds tonight after his last start against the same team and same opposing pitchers. ⬆️ or ⬇️
Scoreless in Seattle thru three.
0-0 after 5.
Magnificent pitchers duel tonight in Seattle. No runs for either team after seven innings. Cole should be done for the night. He did all he could do.
FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home should ‘scare the living daylights’ out of Americans.
One heck of a game. Great pitching, some very nice defense. Just no hitting. But someone will win. Scoreless after eight innings.
The FBI and the DOJ have sadly earned the country's distrust.
What is likely the best MLB game played this season, now goes into the feckless fool Rob Manfred little league extra innings. 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0
Neither team scored in the tenth and neither team scored in the eleventh. Onto the twelfth inning at 0-0. This is a very rare game.
There will be a thirteenth inning. There have been only eight hits in the game for both teams combined. None in the three extra innings. Lucky thirteenth for someone?
Yankees load bases with one out in 13th. Yes, Torres up, yes Torres strikes out and fails in the biggest spot of this game so far. Yankees do not score in 13th.
Final. Yankees lose 1-0 in 13th. Loaisiga takes the loss giving up the only hits in extra innings.
Rubber game today and Cortes will start for Yankees. What a game last night. Many oddities that could never happen in real baseball in the extra innings but could only happen in Manfreds little league mind of baseball.
The funny thing is the information I have found in my time is every president since Reagan told the Archives to go fly a kite with a hole in it and they denied the files. But for some reason Trump has to hand his over..REALLY!!!!!!!!!! Just some of the things I see a real concern with. The question of the day is WHY!!!
What concerns me is that they would not permit Trumps attorneys to be present in their search nor allow video to take place. They removed boxes that were not even opened to inspect for exactly what the terms of the warrant described..... plus they broke into his private safe...... without anyone being able to copy or record what was taken..... these thugs of the DOJ and FBI could remove important papers they have no right to as well as insert incriminating evidence and "swear under oath" that those papers were in the boxes..... papers they could have created for this purpose. This just destroys any sense of justice in the justice system for Americans. The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration is corrupt.....they are trying to destroy America.....this is the democrat party the liberals the progressives the communists left wing....this is the scum of America.....they need to be dealt with.
Do you think the Yankees would have lost last night's game if Carpenter, Rizzo, and Stanton would have been in the lineup?
Stanley Chin, the Yanks would have won, but nothing is guaranteed.

Rizzo back in. I thought he would be held out today for the extra day off followed by an off day tomorrow to make sure his back was at its best. I guess they feel it is fine now. That was one heck of a game last night, tough one to lose, but you can't complain about the pitching but for Loaisiga, who only my opinion from seeing him many times since coming back, he is either not fully recovered and still building, or he is toast.
Howard Hamm, I agree there is something really corrupt going with the party presently in power and it is not good for America and the American people. The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration are all lying bottom feeding swamp scum and they must be taken out of office, power, and any political decisions.
Here we go again. Scoreless after three.
0-0 after 4.
A MaraLago update just reported... Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart has ordered the DOJ to “file a Response to the Motion to Unseal” the Mar-a-Lago warrant. Reinhart said the DOJ must respond no later than August 15.
Cortes just gave up his first hit of the game in the sixth inning. Unfortunately it was a home run. Yankees down 1-0 after six innings. Yankee bats have done nothing.
F-I-N-A-L-L-Y, Higgy hits two run home run, first runs scored in the last twenty innings. Judge follows with a solo home run and Yankees take 3-1 lead mid seventh.
