The 2022 season is over. Another solid winning season making the playoffs. Sadly another season of getting knocked out of the playoffs and not making the World Series. A good season, yes, to make the playoffs, but not good enough to make the World Series.
The hot stove has been hot and is burning strong. Many big names have changed uniforms so far. The YANKEES re-signed free agent Aaron Judge and signed a top of the rotation starter in free agent Carlos Rodon.
As I told all the WIN METHOD fans in my July 5, 2022 blogpost, Aaron Judge was not going to sign with any other team but the YANKEES. Attaining Rodon is a fine upgrade to the starting rotation. With the addition of Rodon, the rotation is more balanced with three right handed starters and two left handed starters. Cole, Cortes, Rodon, Louie Louie, and Montas.
With Benintendi lost to free agency there is an opening in left field, I would think and hope the YANKEES will give Oswaldo Cabrera every chance to earn and then hold the left field position. Then there is the infield to deal with. First base as of now is the only infield position set in stone. Anthony Rizzo has first base locked up. There may or may not be a deal coming this winter to help decide the infield spots at second base, third base, and shortstop. But the YANKEES have an abundance of bodies in LeMahieu, Torres, Peraza, Kiner-Falefa, Donaldson, and possible even Volpe to fill the three positions. How things shake out during the winter break and then spring training will eventually tell the story.
The bullpen has many arms and should be no issue throughout the 2023 season, There are a couple of youngsters in the minors who are still developing and who knows just when the light bulb goes off for them and they are ready to make an impact at the major league level.
At the catcher position. Personally, I am looking forward to seeing what left handed hitting catcher Ben Rortvedt will bring to the team. Rortvedt may provide a big surprise. I would think the YANKEES will not carry three catchers and either Trevino or Higashioka will be gone.
In the minor leagues the YANKEES have a bunch of fine looking youngsters at all positions, as WIN METHOD as they can be, how they bloom and grow over time will determine their ultimate value.
WIN METHOD fans, I can't say this often enough. You are the smartest and most knowledgeable baseball fans in the world. You make fans at all the other blogs, sites, forums, or whatever look silly. You all, have made the WIN METHOD blog the number one go to site for YANKEE baseball talk and information, You fans are positive, uplifting, and use common sense. All of you KNOW baseball. Around February 2023, this blog will attain one billion five hundred million views, 1,500,000,000. Thank you all, you truly are the greatest YANKEE fans in the world.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS, to each and every one of you wherever you are across this planet. I still get amazed when I look and see the hundreds of countries all of the viewers of the WIN METHOD blog come from. Everyone, have a happy and healthy new year. Lets win a World Series. LETS GO YANKEES.

This has been said every season on this site, so here it is. The Yankees will play around, over, under, and through every injury, obstacle, and setback, that is thrown in front of us and make the playoffs and more this season. Lets go Yankees.
What a DISASTER today, forget about SEVY.
Mushmouse, O' ye of little faith. Only a loser or an idiot would write anyone off over what they did in any one inning.
People, it is only spring training. Louie Louie is a rotation starter, the only time he needs to prove anything is when the season starts. That is when the games become meaningful.
Final, Yankees lose 9-8. A wild game. Yanks give up 7 runs in 1st inning. Come all the way back to take an 8-7 lead after 8. And they give up 2 runs in the 9th for the loss. Volpe has another good game.
Schmidt gets another spring start tomorrow night against the Pirates. 6:30PM
How many of the young studs will start the season with the Yankees? We will find out in two weeks.
This may be an awful thing to say, but I feel I have to say it. Everyone in the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration who is taking part in the corruption of said administration needs to be put in prison or worse for the rest of their life. Never has any administration done so much to destroy America as this administration and their willing cohorts are doing now. They all must be destroyed, or America and the American people will be destroyed.
MAGA 2024 wake up America, you were very kind in your description of the liberal democrat scum.
The useless and meaningless fiasco called the World Baseball Classic (WBC) has claimed the career of another MLB baseball player. Edwin Diaz of the Mets, possibly the best relief pitcher in baseball, completely tore a tendon in his knee, will undergo major surgery, and will not play baseball again this season. A tear like this could curtail and/or end Diaz's career. What a shame.
Manny C., It's a shame what happened to Diaz, and the WBC is a sham. The accident could have happened in a MLB game, but it didn't. If I were a MLB owner, I would not allow any player to play anywhere else, ever, anytime. I wonder how the medical insurance contract reads and how it deals with something like this.

Two weeks to opening day.
Schmidt with four impeccable innings so far. 12 up 12 down 5 K's 39 pitches 29 strikes.
Schmidt's night is finished after 5 perfect innings. 7 K's, 56 pitches 36 strikes.
Final. Yankees lose 9-6. After five innings Yankees led 5-0 on Clarke Schmidt's five perfect innings of pitching. Fifteen batters fifteen outs. Ove the next four innings the Yankee bullpen got twelve outs, but in doing so gave up nine runs and thirteen hits. Crazy game.
Schmidt was a bright light tonight. If he can harness and move forward with what he accomplished in tonight's game he would really help the team, big time.
German's turn tomorrow. Starting 1pm game against Tigers.
Here is something I have seen many times over and over. Like Schmidt tonite. A pitcher has everything right with his stuff and dominates a lineup for several innings. Relievers come into the game and they get smacked around---reason, their pitches don't do anything what the previous pitchers did. The relievers, after the hitters after seeing brilliant pitches, now see lesser pitches, that now (whether just in their mind or not) appear to be much more hittable.

Interesting, Volpe at SS and Peraza at 2B.
Happy Saint Patricks Day!!
German must think he is throwing batting practice today. Gives up four home runs and seven runs in 2 2/3 innings. Several other balls hit very hard as well. No bueno.
On a side note, Hicks with another pathetic play in left field again. Fortunately Volpe was able to get out of the way of Hicks madhouse wild run.
Yes fans, Happy Saint Patricks Day.
Final. Yankees lose 8-7. The Yankees were down 7-0 after three innings. German crashed and burned big time.
Cortes makes his first spring training game appearance tomorrow. Cortes will start game at 1PM against Toronto.
With Rodon and Montas down, we need Cortes to be the top line starter he showed to be last season.
Spring training game 23 Yankee lineup.
Nestor Cortes (L) P
1. Anthony Volpe (R) SS
2. Aaron Judge (R) RF
3. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
4. Giancarlo Stanton (R) DH
5. Josh Donaldson (R) 3B
6. Willie Calhoun (L) LF
7. Isiah Kiner-Falefa (R) 2B
8. Rafael Ortega (L) CF
9. Carlos Narvaez (R) C
Cortes first spring start.
All eyes on Cortes. Three innings?
Watching todays game via Blue Jay broadcast. The BJ announcers saying today's BJ lineup will be the opening day lineup with all starters playing. Should be a real test for Cortes.
Cortes got his work in and showed that he must have been getting his pitching in during bullpen sessions. Threw over 50 pitches today. Did allow 2 home runs, but considering he threw against the Toronto starting lineup, his day has to be looked upon as a good step forward. Probably at least two more spring starts to build upon for the opening of the regular season.
Final. Yankees lose 5-2. Highlight, Cortes making first appearance of the season. What was expected. Just another day closer to opening day baseball.
Cole make 5th start tomorrow against Orioles at one o'clock.
Lets go Yankees.
Spring training game 24 Yankee lineup.
Gerrit Cole (R) P
1. DJ LeMahieu (R) 2B
2. Aaron Judge (R) DH
3. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
4. Giancarlo Stanton (R) RF
5. Josh Donaldson (R) 3B
6. Oswaldo Cabrera (S) LF
7. Aaron Hicks (S) CF
8. Oswald Peraza (R) SS
9. Carlos Narvaez (R) C
Replace Hicks, Narvaez, and Donaldson with Volpe, Domingquez, and Higashioka and you have an opening day lineup.
If I am correct, and there is no guarantee that I am, if the Yankees start the season with Volpe in AAA, they will have a year of control over him for an extra year, but still be able to bring up and use him for most of this season. You are looking at saving multi-millions of dollars for even that one season down the road.
Cole gives up 4 fifth inning runs. Threw 80+ pitches and should be able to throw 100 pitches if need be to open season. Again, threw a lot of strikes. The killer for him was the pitch for the 3 run HR.
Yanks go down 5-3. Cole gets his work in. 81 pitches allowing four runs in the fifth inning. Yankee highlight hitter, Oswaldo Cabrera with two hits in three at bats and one rbi.
So Cole gave up 4 runs today. So when do we start worrying about these sub par outings by the starting pitchers? I know early on the excuse is they are working on things but at some point you would want to see the starting pitchers pitch like the game means something.
If I remember correctly, I think you posted here several years back. Same type of garbage. You are posting your baloney in the wrong forum. You need to stay in the stat fraud forums.
WIN METOD fans know that performance really doesn't matter until the games matter. Spring training games do not count. When the regular season starts the games matter and so does performance. Don't forget, even the best players of all time, had bad days, games, and streaks.
I've been posting here for over ten years, and when a stat fraud posts here, you know it by their words. They are so stupid, it is so darn frustrating. They do not want to understand nor accept the WIN METHOD, likely because they have been brainwashed and or are dumb as doornails.
They don't seem to want to know the difference in games that count and do not count. There are actually regular season games that do not mean anything at certain times. They live by individual numbers and made up subjective formula's. Then they hire more stat frauds to analyze all the numbers and tell who is best. It is really simple and common sense, the best players and the best teams are the people who by MLB rules, reach the playoffs at the end of the regular season. No if's and's or but's.
Deb F, hear hear.
The Yankees have an off day tomorrow. Back in action Tuesday.
Louie Louie is scheduled to start game on Tuesday. Getting close to start of season. Eighty pitches? More control and location? That is what spring training is for.
I think the Yankee issues heading into the start of this season will be the injured players---how bad are the injuries---how long to truly heal---how much will each player contribute this season---and when that occur.
Putin has committed war crimes. Killing countless innocent civilians in a country he has started a war with.
Biden has committed crimes against innocent civilians in his own country. Allowing an open border where criminal people from all over the world are entering America illegally and then spreading across all of America, murdering, raping, robbing, and destroying cities and people everywhere. Add on Bidens allowing drug cartels and gangs to kill innocent civilians all across America and doing nothing to stop it.
Which one is worse, Biden or Putin. It doesn't matter, both are criminals killing innocent people. Both must be wiped off the face of the earth.
My possible lineup to start the season.
1. DJ LeMahieu, 3B
2. Oswaldo Cabrera LF
3. Aaron Judge, CF
4. Anthony Rizzo, 1B
5. Giancarlo Stanton, RF
6. Willie Calhoun, DH -- against a right handed starter. Gleybar Torres against a left handed starter.
7. Anthony Volpe, 2B
8. Jose Trevino, C
9. Oswald Peraza, SS
Day Traweck......I believe you are right. But every team will have to deal with injuries at one tme or another throughout the season.
Tommy Stenchion......Good post. Both are evil men. But Biden is killing his own people and doesn't care.
You just got to love President Trump. He says what he believes and what he believes is almost always right.
Here is a quote from Trump --- “China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and other Nations of a less than friendly nature, are busy “CARVING UP THE WORLD” as our once great United States of America sits back and watches. We are a Failing Nation, with Open Borders, Fake Elections, and a horrible Inflation Riddled Economy. We no longer set the standard, the standard sets us. Our so-called ‘Leader’ does NOTHING except Eat, Sleep, and S..t! Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?”
Tommy, posting having the 80 year old president of the United States killed is a bit heavy for Spring Training.
Grosner, Yes Tommy Stenchion's may have gone a bit to far, but are you suggesting the American people should just stand by while our demented criminal president allows them to die at the hands of people he does nothing to stop.
Xavier Young, great lineup. There is no reason for the Yankees to play Donaldson, Hicks, and Kiner-Falefa, except they have to pay them so they must feel they might as well play them. Cabrera, Peraza, and Volpe will be so much better for the team and winning.
White Knight, there are more than the two options of "do nothing" or "kill Biden". Maybe an option more on the legal and less violent side...
Ten days until opening day at the Stadium, weather permitting. Cole to start, who will be in the starting lineup?
Grosner, kill Biden are your words. I never used them in my comment. You jumped to the conclusion and altered my opinion in the most negative way.
Grosner, OK, lets put Biden on trial and then execute him.
Apologies, Tommy. I guess there are plenty of other interpretations of "Wiped off from the face of the earth" that I must be unaware of.
Grosner, good one. I really laughed at your response. Out loud.
Grosner, that is funny. Kudos!
Yankee catcher Trevino back in action this week after recovering from a wrist injury. Likely in lineup tomorrow against the Tigers.

Torres back from the WBC fiasco.
I am getting tired of spring training. And I am getting tired of seeing players with less talent in the lineup so often.
Xi of China says, "China is ready to 'Stand Guard' over the world".
This is what a feckless, demented, corrupt, bought and paid for, liberal left wing democrat president Biden, will get the American people who were stupid enough to vote for him.
America, in the opinion of many people in my country, has lost great credibility across the world. That falls on the leader, his political affiliation, and his supporters.
Louie Louie goes four innings 70+ pitches. 2 first inning runs on three hits. Shutout innings for the next three innings with just one hit. Marked improvement.
Artificial Intelligence (AI). The next coming boondoggle? catastrophe? corruption? --- Here is what the head of Google, Pichai, said about Googles AI, Bard.
Pichai’s Tuesday email said 80,000 Google employees contributed to testing Bard, responding to Pichai’s all-hands-on-deck call to action last month, which included a plea for workers to re-write the chatbot’s bad answers.
The tell all fault of AI are the words " a plea for workers to re-write the chatbot’s bad answers".
AI, in this instance, Bard, will only say or do what is told.
Conclusion: boondoggle, catastrophe, corruption all wrapped up with a bow on it.
Just what the radical left wing liberal democrat politician scum are all about.
Donaldson with a solo and three run home run today.
Severino, over his four innings struck out nine batters. It was s strong outing and no question his best of the spring.
McDonald’s iconic Big Mac hamburger has skyrocketed under Joe Biden; the average price is now estimated at $5.15, or nearly 22% more since the pre-pandemic era.
But but that can't be. The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration says inflation is only 6 percent, down from a high of 8.5 percent. The American people know they are being lied to and feel the pinch of making ends meet and living pay check to pay check everyday.
Vote to save America. Vote conservative republican in all future elections. You liberal democrat scum can ignore this post. Why? Because you are liberal democrat scum.
Inna Svovna, thank you for your thoughts and views.
Final. Yankees win 6-3. Louie Louie four innings, 2 runs, 3 hits, 9 K's. Donaldson 2 HR's. Volpe, double in 2 at bats, W, and stolen base.
Next game tomorrow at 1pm. Washington is the opponent.
BIDEN THE BUTCHER: Joe Introduces 'Big Deal' Monument, DESTROYS the Name.
OOPS, forgot. Schmidt starts tomorrow.
Ralph--Yuma, Biden the butcher, that he is, that he is. Hopefully, one day, he will pay the piper.
Donaldson doesn't want to give up playing time if he can help it. He is a competitor.

Yankees going with a minor league outfield. Hope Hicks doesn't injure anyone.
Guy Padikian, loved your take on today's Yankee lineup. Especially the last sentence.
President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump has released a ten point plan detailing how he will dismantle the Deep State starting on his first day in office.
Trump released 10-point plan.
1. On Day One, re-issue 2020 executive order restoring the president’s authority to fire rogue bureaucrats.
2. Overhaul federal departments and agencies, firing all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus.
3. Fundamentally reform the FISA courts, ensuring that corruption is rooted out.
4. Establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and abuses of power.
5. Launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the media to create false narratives, pressing criminal charges when appropriate.
6. Make every Inspector General’s Office independent from the departments they oversee, so that they do not become protectors of the deep state.
7. Establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure that they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people.
8. Continue Trump administration effort to move parts of the federal bureaucracy outside of the Washington Swamp, just like President Trump moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado.
10. Push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.
Trump plan is good stuff. Good for America and the American people.
Yankee lose today's game 5-2. Schmidt came up empty and unimpressive. Cabrera with two more hits today. He needs to play everyday.
Trump personally handpicked China loving deep state operative Elaine "Coco" Chow to serve in his cabinet, deep state loser Christopher Wray to lead the FBI, deep state war monger John Bolton, disloyal and stupid "Mad Dog" Mattis, idiot Jeff Sessions, betrayer Bill Barr, dumb as a rock Rex Tillerson, and uncourageous Mike Pense.
He hand picked all these deep state losers. His choice 100%.
No way I trust him on anything deep state related.
And he is a loser.
One of these days the Yankees will play a lineup which has the teams better hitters all on it. Having two or three and many times more than that minor leaguers on it, is not indicative of what the offense may really be.
With the injury to Montas, and Schmidt and German not faltering during spring training. the Yankee starting pitching will b e the issue to start the season. Hope we score some runs.
Trump was never in politics. He ran for president because he was fed up with the direction of the country under the liberal terrorist supporting and enabler Obama was taking it. He defeated umpteen politicians running against him. He defeated them all. He then defeated the leader of the radical left wing liberal democrat scum party, Hillary Clinton, a foul, corrupt, criminal, and a disgusting human being.
Trump took office with the American people behind him. He has been lied about and persecuted by the corrupt fake news media, the liberal democrat scum politicians, the corrupt rhino politicians ever since, to this day, going on eight years now. He fought for the American people and was making America great again despite what all the above trying to stop him.
Trump, not knowing who to trust, listened to the likes of Mitch McConnel, Lindsey Graham, and others, who only cared about their own interests, and maintaining their position in the DC Swamp. He put into positions of power/cabinet/etc some awful people. Near the end of his term, he started to get to know who was who, and raised the level of his advisors a great deal. Over the years, he did have several brilliant choice's such as Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo. Trump supported DeSantis in the Florida Governor's race.
This time around, Trump will be better than his great first four years. Nonetheless, anyone who can defeat Trump and other dozen of so who don't, almost all will be a hundred times better than ANY radical left wing liberal democrat dirt bag in existence.
Cortes makes his second spring start tomorrow against Cardinals in a one o'clock game.
Well, the WBC is over, all players back in their home camps. Will the last week of spring camp bring any deals.
Grosner, Trump and then any republican who wins the republican nomination for the presidential election in 2024 in better than any liberal democrat on the face of this earth.
Cortes for five innings tomorrow and looks sharper than his first start. Remember where you heard it.
Yanks23245, If Cole, Cortes, and Louie Louie can win 2 of 3 by any of them each time thru the rotation, and Schmidt and German win 1 of 2 by any of them each time thru the rotation that would be .600 ball.

One week to opening day for Yankees. At Yankee Stadium against the San Francisco Giants.
Cortes goes four superb innings in his second start of the spring. 0 runs, 2 hits, 0 walks, 7 strikeouts, 66 pitches and 47 strikes. Gorgeous outing.
Today's final score. 1-1 time game. No offense from either team. Better to say, great pitching from both teams. Yankee run, Oswaldo Cabrera home run. Must play everyday.
Study Finds Hunger Increased 23% Biden's First Year in Office.
At the end of 2022, a whopping 24.6% of Americans couldn't afford food.
The worst part? 63.2% of those asked revealed that grocery prices increased "a lot" in the last year.
Americans are worse off under Biden's economy. A whopping 41% of American families say their financial position has worsened greatly since Biden assumed office.
Cortes was really sharp today. He was dominating.
Cole starts for Yanks tomorrow against Twinkies. 1 pm. Last training start for Cole. Then opening day next Thursday.
Unless something crazy happens these last few days of spring training, the Yankees should open their three game 2023 season with the SF Giants with Cole, Cortes, and Louie Louie starting.
Pretty soon the opening day roster has to be submitted. Sadly, it will not be based solely on ability.
okiened, I agree, service time and dollars are also involved. Money saved is money earned.
Six days to opening day. Spring training is drawing to a close. Wait and see time.

Higashioka in lineup. Cabrera at 1B. So he has now played seven different positions, is hitting .300, excellent defender everywhere. Has some power, enthusiasm and talent, but alas, no position
Oh my, Cabrera again, 3 run first inning HR.
Higgy with a three run home run in the second inning to go along with his first inning double.
In the first two innings the first four Yankee batters are 7-8, 4 singles, 1 double and 2 - 3 run home runs.
Yankees go down again. Lose 7-6. After taking a 6-0 lead after two innings, the Yanks do not score another run and six minor league pitchers give up 7 runs over the last seven innings for the loss. Highlights of the game, Cabrera and Higashioka each with a 3 run home run.
Vasquez starts for Yankees tomorrow against Phillies at 1:00 PM.
The way spring training is closing out, it will be Cole starting opening day, followed by Louie Louie, and Cortes for opening series in New York against SF,.
Five days until opening day. Think positive. Be WIN METHOD.
Big bad news. Louie Louie has been scheduled final spring start tomorrow. Some kind of issue and as of now the Yankees have not issued a statement about what it might be.

Glad to see Higashioka and Trevino both together and catching.
So far the only one breaking the Severino story is a northern NJ newspaper.
You just got to wonder what makes one athlete so brittle and injury prone, and another so durable and no injuries.
Update on Luis Luis aka Severino. Looks as if it was caught before it became serious.
Yankees right-handed starting pitcher Luis Severino has suffered a strained lat muscle and will "most likely" start the season on the injured list, per manager Aaron Boone.
Fortunately for Severino and the Yankees, this doesn't sound overly serious, given that Boone used the word "likely" and didn't say Severino will definitely be on the DL.
Victor Grandozi, thanks for the update, just have to hope for the best.
With pitchers now on the shelf to start the season, it sure gives the secondary pitchers to put up or shut up when it matters as WIN METHOD has always said.
Yankee bats manhandling Philies "ace starter" this afternoon. Lead 8-0 after five innings. Volpe with a single, double, and triple. Home runs from Chaporo, Donaldson, and Torres. Four innings of shutout pitching from Vasquez.
Yankees win 8-3. Strong offensive game and minor league pitchers combine for the Yankee win.
Volpe three hits. Home runs from Torres, Donaldson, and Chaporo.
Brito has been named to start tomorrows game against Toronto, replacing Louie Louie.
Starting Thursday, it will be time to produce when it matters most. Hope the pitchers who get to start step up and put a lot of goose eggs on the scoreboard against the opposition.

Nice if it would be opening day lineup with one change. Hicks chucked off the roster and team Volpe at 2B. Judge CF and Torres DH.
I love seeing the kids in the lineup. You have to pay Hicks one way of the other, so kick him off the team and let the talented you side people play.
Yep, Hicks and Florial are dead wood, get rid on them both and open roster spots for the players who have more of a chance to contribute to wins and winning.
The Yankees can field a top notch lineup everyday and still let everyone play. Each player get a day off each week. Several players, most of who can play multiple positions, are the key. Everyone can rest, DH, and play regularly. It just needs to be managed.
Guys, you are all right. Nine guys are in the lineup every day. Likely there will be 13 position players on the roster of the 26 allowed. Eliminate Hicks and Florial and you have taken a step forward immediately. The team does not need anyone, we have what we need, let them all play including Donaldson and Kiner-Falefa and Bader.
I really liked they way Willie Randolph was talking to Volpe in the dugout, and Volpe nodding his head as if he agreed? and or understood? everything Willie was saying/explaining. Who knows, maybe Willie was talking about fishing or dinner reservations, or his golf swing.
Walt Belamy, Knowing what I know about Randolph and Volpe, they were talking baseball and nothing else but.
Wow! wow! wow! What a game from Jhony Brito. Talk about stepping up. Brito goes 5 1/3 innings and faces 16 batters. That's it, that is all he did today. 16 batters and not one of them reached base. 18 outs. The best part is he has load of minor league experience moving up from entry level to AAA. He is mature and developing. What we call blooming the growing. Ready to start the season in the majors? LET THE KIDS PLAY!
Not wanting to take the glow from Brito's start today, but it was not against the Toronto starting lineup.
Yankees win 6-2. Big game from starting pitcher Brito, 16 batters 16 outs. Judge and Rizzo home runs. Cabrera two more hits.
Volpe has made the Yankee opening day roster.
One more Florida spring training game tomorrow and then last spring training game in DC on Tuesday.
Volpe earned and deserved it.
Volpe had some spring. He forced the Yankee decision. Take it as a positive for Peraza, if he has the "I can" attitude. --- I can be there to and I will be there quickly. --- It would help if the Yankees trade a couple of bodies.
Volpe making the Yankees should serve as an incentive to all the Yankee kids to try to achieve the same end or is it beginning.
Frown - be sad - love made up stats - demean players - demean ownership - be a stat fraud.
Smile - be happy - love wins - love players - support ownership - be WIN METHOD.
Schmidt is starting tomorrow's game which would make him the likely starter for the second game of the opening series to start the season.
yankeefan2......That would leave Cortes as starter for final game of the series.
So happy for Anthony Volpe. Hope he follows in the steps of Derek Jeter. One of the best shortstops of all time.

Love IKF in CF instead of Hicks. Schmidt time to put up what he's got. He is old enough to have learned how to put it altogether.
One at a time, the Yankee kids bloom and grow. Cabrera, Volpe, next up, Peraza? Dominguez?
Something to watch. Volpe performance now that he knows he had made the Yankees and MLB. In my view, he will be even better.
Lets go Yankees. Three days to season opener. Yes we can.
This article is eye opening. It is not opinion, it is fact.
42% of America’s murders come from 1% of Democrat counties
“America doesn’t have a crime problem, it has a Democrat problem.”
Published on March 27, 2023
“America doesn’t have a crime problem, it has a Democrat problem.” That’s the statement Daniel Greenfield substantiates with overwhelming evidence in a report published on FrontPage Magazine.
A groundbreaking study by John R. Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), revealed that “1% of counties have 21% of the population and 42% of the murders” and “2% of counties contain 31% of the population and 56% of the murders.”
The numbers, Greenfield writes, “clearly show that America is not a violent country, that we do not have a crime problem and that gun culture is not the issue: crime culture in Democrat cities is the issue.”
Greenfield continues: Democrat crime cities and counties have created a massive social problem that otherwise would hardly exist. As the study notes, “If the 1% of the counties with the worst number of murders somehow were to become a separate country, the murder rate in the rest of the US would have been only 4.31 in 2020. Removing the worst 2% or 5% would have reduced the US rate to just 3.71 or 2.99 per 100,000, respectively.” We could have the murder rate of New Zealand; if it wasn’t for the Democrat crime counties.
My view --- The most corruption presidential administration in American history, the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration is achieving exactly what they want to do. They are destroying America and the American people.
Zack Norris, the radical leftwing liberal democrats don't care. Plus many people who vote for democrats are being paid thru corrupt programs.
Schmidt goes 4 1/3 innings, 2 runs, 3 hits, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts, 66 pitches, 48 strikes. Just an average start. Wish he could step it up a little.
Yankees finish Florida training with an 8-4 win today. Good first half of game and sloppy second half. One more training game in Washington DC tomorrow. Cortes starting.
Dudley Squires, I think more people vote for democrats who are not allowed to vote, illegals allowed into America and shuffled all over the country in darkness, given a drivers license, so they vote and can't be traced. They are always transient. Corruption rules the radical leftwing liberal democrat party.
Optimistic news regarding Rodon today. He threw 30 pitches in a bullpen session this morning. Progress, but you never know when a set back pops its ugly head.
This is so golden, I just had to bring it out. WIN METHOD seeks no glory for being right, time after time while the talking heads and stat frauds are wrong time after time.
"""""""""""" As I told all the WIN METHOD fans in my July 5, 2022 blogpost, Aaron Judge was not going to sign with any other team but the YANKEES. """""""""""""""
If the Yankees go with the hot hand, Jhomy Brito should be the final pitcher to make opening day. Should!
WIN METHOD is the best Yankee site, bar none.

No Stanton. He is having the most pathetic spring than any other Yankee. Something not right with him?
Zack Norris, thank you for your post yesterday about democrat counties across America. Everyone should read it and then read it again. Wait a couple of days and read it again. Let the information penetrate your brain and sink in to your mind. Democrats, liberal democrats, radical left wing liberal democrats are destroying our country. --- --- --- And the people voting for them legally and illegally are complicit in destroying our country.
Guy Padikian, you are correct. I've noticed that Stanton is not making hard contact, has shown no power, has hit into many double plays, is not running hard at all, and just into the game. Hopefully he was told not to push and just get ready for the season. We will soon find out.
Yankees lose final 2023 spring training game 3-0.
Opening day of 2023 MLB season for Yankees is Thursday at Yankee Stadium where the Yankees will host the SF Giants. Real sports, real baseball is back.
Volpe made two Jeteresque defensive plays today. One each to his left and right.
Yankees released outfield fillers Calhoun to AAA and Ortega outright release. 26 man roster must be filed by 9AM Thursday.
Last day of spring training. Off day for Yankees. Yankee first 162 game regular season game tomorrow at Yankee Stadium.
Only the best teams and the best players will win enough games to reach the playoffs.
I would bet the barn we have seen the last of Montas and Severino.
Pepe Gonzales, Stanton has streaks like turning a light switch on and off. We haven't seen anything near the lights being on so far. Hope the lights come on once the season starts for real and when it counts.
Mf. Dumas, you must have a very large 'L' on your forehead. You have to be a stat fraud, only a loser would think what you posted. So sad for anyone to live that way. Negativism breeds negativism which breeds failure.
The Yankees have just signed outfielder Franchy Cordero to a Major League contract. Something weird is going on we don't know anything about right now. Cordero is no help and not an asset.
Ian Collins, a trade? or just an upgrade from what the Yanks had in spring camp?
Just under 10 1/2 hours left for MLB teams to submit their 26 man rosters.

I really like it and the nine starters are exactly who WIN METHOD told us they would be. LETS GO YANKEES.
No complaints re lineup. No Hicks and no IKF means a better offense and defense on the field. ++
It is so nice to have baseball again. Lets go Yankees. And it is so nice to be out of NYC.
One step at a time. Baseball is all about wins. The only way the best teams and the best players make the playoffs is to win enough games over the 162 game regular season. Everyone contributes on every team. The players on the teams that contribute the most are the players and teams that go to the playoffs. Everyone else goes home to watch the best players and the best teams play in the playoffs, aka 'the second season'.
With that said: LETS GO YANKEES
Judge, first inning, first at bat, first home run.
Yanks up 1-0 after 2.
Torres two run HR in fourth for 3-0 lead.
Yanks up 3-0 after 4.
Final. Yankees win 5-0. Cole six scoreless innings for the win. Judge solo HR and Torres two run HR. Peralta, Loaisiga, and Marinaccio go final three shutout innings. Off day tomorrow, good start to the season.
What a pleasant game to watch today. No drama and an easy 5-0 win.
One of the better games Cole has ever pitched. Eleven K's in six innings.
All hail President Donald Trump who has reportedly just been indicted by a grand jury in NYC. What a great campaign donation from the radical left wing liberal democrat scum of America.
Trump, America's greatest president.
Great day for Yankees and for Aaron Judge, a man who has never made hush money payments to a porn star then try to write them off as legitimate legal expenses using person fixer who is also a convicted felon.
What a person does in private life as a private citizen in monetary dealings is a nonissue at this point in time. The NYC criminal DA is overstepping his authority and he has no standing in this issue. It has been passed over by several federal agencies as a nonissue. Bringing Aaron Judge's name into this is in very bad taste.
The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration in cohort with the radical left wing liberal democrat scum, and their supporters are destroying America and the American people. The criminals are the people in this country who are allowing, encouraging, defending, perpetrating, and covering up what the present government is doing to innocent American citizens is exactly what Xi of China, Putin of Russia, Kim Jong-un of North Korea, and Ali Khamenei of Iran are doing in their countries. This is a disgrace, must not be tolerated, and must be stopped.
It seems to the naked eye the Yankees have made several weird and meaningless roster moves in the past few days.
Jackson DeWitt, The USA is becoming a third world country where the people are told what to do and what to say by a corrupt government.
After Cabrera went 0-4 in yesterdays season opening game, Hicks will be in left field for todays game.
Oh wait, there is no game today.
Schmidt has been named to start game tomorrow at 4PM. Weather permitting.
Tomorrow's second game of a MLB season start for Schmidt may be the biggest game of his professional career.
KevMac, Can only hope Schmidt comes up big this season and shows some consistency from start to start.
Game still on as of now. It will be iffy however. I hate games played under these possible circumstances.
Todays Yankee lineup.
Clarke Schmidt (R) P
1. DJ LeMahieu (R) DH
2. Aaron Judge (R) CF
3. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
4. Giancarlo Stanton (R) RF
5. Josh Donaldson (R) 3B
6. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
7. Oswaldo Cabrera (S) LF
8. Jose Trevino (R) C
9. Anthony Volpe (R) SS
Same lineup as opening day. DJ at DH and Torres at 2B only change.
Florial has been DFA'd.
Stanton with his first HR of the season puts Yankees up 2-0 after three innings.
Schmidt after three great innings, has nothing in the fourth giving up a double and two home runs putting the Yankees down 3-2. Schmidt, during his spring training had the same problem. Great one game or for any couple of innings and then a bad game or any couple of innings. Hot and cold and you never know when and what you will get from him.
Our left fielder, Oswaldo Cabrera, leads off the fourth with a hard single to center. Lets go guys, get those runs back.
3-3 after 5.
What a miserable loss. It's to early to go through this nonsense and under performance.
Final. Yankees lose 7-5. A very poorly played game by the Yankees today. Failure to produce when it mattered most was the reason for the loss. Starting pitcher and relief pitcher failures giving up seven runs was dreadful. Hitter production when it mattered most on several major opportunities was the culprit. An all around poor game from too many people cost a game that could have and should have easily been won. Series tied at one game each with rubber game tomorrow.
Stanton did hit a home run today, however his other at bats were brutal. Nothing has change from spring training. He looks terrible at the plate. Add to that, he is the teams worst defensive outfielder.
