WIN METHOD --- WINTER BREAK --- HOT STOVE --- HEADED TO 2023 SEASON

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.

Todays the day -- we take the Devil Rays down -- and win the three game series.

Lets go Yankees.

Guy Padikian said...

Todays Yankee lineup.

Gerrit Cole (R) P

1. Anthony Volpe (R) SS
2. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
3. Anthony Rizzo (L) DH
4. DJ LeMahieu (R) 1B
5. Harrison Bader (R) CF
6. Isiah Kiner-Falefa (R) RF
7. Oswaldo Cabrera (S) 3B
8. Jose Trevino (R) C
9. Aaron Hicks (S) LF

Perraza seems to be unavailable. UGH to Hicks. Just maybe he will help, every dog has his day. Hicks is the biggest day and way overdo for his day.

candycane said...

0-0 after 2.

Stan the Man said...

Guy Padikian, you called it, another call you make comes true. Wait for it people. In the third inning, Rizzo HR and Bader two run HR put Yankees on top 3-0. In the fourth inning HICKS doubles for an RBI, yes HICKS, for a 4-0 lead. Torres follows with an rbi double for a 5-0 lead.

YankeeMike said...

Cole cracks. After going four strong scoreless innings Cole gives up 2 runs 5th and 3 runs in 6th blowing a Yankee 6-0 lead. Yankees down 7-6 after six innings. Wow, never expected this.

candycane said...

7-7 after 7.

yankeeclipper said...

Extra innings, tied at 7.

RLA said...

Yanks lose in 10th, 8-7.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees lose 8-7 in ten innings. Cole gives up the ghost. Spotted with a 6-0 lead Cole crashes and burn in the fifth and sixth innings, getting no one out in the sixth. So many good things about the Yankee offense from several players gone down the drain. Even Hicks got an RBI hit. Abreu takes the loss when the fake runner scores in the 10th playing Manfred the fraud little league baseball rules.

Ben Shapiro said...

One tough game to lose. All three game decided by one run. But you should never lose when you score as many runs as the Yankees did and your 'ace' is starting.

Yanks23245 said...

The day started out so good and then went sour. Even the best get beat when you think they shouldn't. The Rays proved why they are doing so well so far this season. They did not give up.

Mark Wagoner said...

New week tomorrow. Seven games at home. 5-2 needs to be the goal.

Tony Bilboa said...

Next up, three games with the Oakland A's at Yankee Stadium. Cortes, Schmidt, and Brito will start for the Yankees. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Olga Kobel said...

Biden doesn't need to be voted out of office. He should be arrested, placed in a maximum security prison, along with all people who are in his administration, working with him, for him, guiding him, and supporting him. Then, all of these people should be tried for criminal collusion, treason, supplying aide to the enemy, not defending the USA border, and so on. When all are found guilty, they all should be executed, preferably, public executions. The destruction of America has to be stopped, and stopped completely.

Quigley said...

Olga Korbel, when criminals are not punished to the max for their criminal evil deeds, the crime gets worse, the result being, there is more and more crime. Look at American cities, defunding police, criminals set free over and over. You start at the top, our government, and work your way down. Wipe them out and prove what criminal behavior will get you. Even your life. Just do it.

Earl Lennon said...

Olga Korbel, hear hear.

One win at a time, Seven games this week. How sweet would it be to win six or more,

coryankee said...

Guy Padikian, attainable goals. The Yanks seem to show some life in Tampa, and still lost 2 of 3 games. Build on the good vibes and sweep the week.

Mario/Staten Island said...

Cortes cracks in sixth and gives the A's two runs.

Stan the Man said...

Yanks come right back in bottom of sixth. Torres solo HR and DJ two run HR for a 5-2 lead,

I forgot. SWEEP THE WEEK

Yankeefan2 said...

Your attention please. Aaron Hicks just hit a two run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning giving the Yankees a 7-2 lead.

SWEEP THE WEEK.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees win 7-2, Marinaccio gets the win. Good team effort with home runs from Cabrera, Torres, LeMahieu, and Hicks. As the week begins with game one all I can say is SWEEP THE WEEK.

Randy Holt said...

Judge to be in lineup tomorrow. With Bader back and playing well on both fronts, the lineup instantly just gpt a little bit longer and defense a lot stronger.

SWEEP THE WEEK.

Vladimir Tinzak said...

Schmidt starts game two tomorrow. Game two of SWEEP THE WEEK.

Doug Shoen said...

The A's are not an awful team, their problem is they play in the superior American League.

Augie Defonce said...

BIGTIMEYANKEE, likely that both pitchers will wind up with a no win, and on the other hand at least one of them should get a win at some time.

SWEEP THE WEEK

YankeeMike said...

Looking at the lineup. Not in it for various reasons, Stanton, LeMahieu, Peraza, Donaldson, IKF, Three of which are on the DL.

MAGA 2024 wake up America said...

Grosner, I agree and I will be right there with you. But the most corrupt group must come first. The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration cartel and their partners the radical leftwing liberal scum of America must come first.

Phil Jenkins said...

SWEEP THE WEEK

Yanks23245 said...

Five run third innings for Yanks on five consecutive RBIs by Judge, Rizzo, Torres, Bader, and Bauers. Yanks lead 5-1.

candycane said...

Yanks up 7-2 after 5.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees win 10-5. Schmidt goes six innings allowing 2 runs and earns his first win of the season. The lineup was another big team win. Two run home runs from Torres and Bauers. SWEEP THE WEEK

Gail Hines said...

In one and half days the USA border will be overrun with drug dealing criminals, rapists, pedophiles, arsonists, murderers, criminals, and illegal aliens strorming into America under the support and encouragement of Alejandro Mayorkas, Joe Biden and the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration and the radical leftwing liberal democrat scum of America who are (MALADY) Making America Last Again & Destroy You. STOP THEM. The people in power who have allowed this to happen need to be prosecuted, convicted, and put into prison for the rest of their lives.

BostonYankee said...

If Brito keeps it close, and the way the bats have come alive with Bader back and now Judge back, should be a Yankee win this afternoon.

Swen Jorgenson said...

Jail is too good for the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration criminal crime family.

yankeeforever said...

Bader three run home run gives Yankees 4-0 first inning lead.

candycane said...

Yanks up 4-2 after 3.

NJYANKEE said...

Brito struggling all game, taken out after 4 1/3 with men on 2nd and 3rd with one out. Cordero comes in to get two infield popup outs to end inning. Brito loses chance for a win and as of now Cordero is pitcher of record.

Victor Grandozi said...

Yankees score 7 runs in 5th to take 11-2 lead. DJ 2 run HR and Volpe grand salami the big blows.

Carla Sherwin said...

Just think who is destroying this country since the stolen 2020 elections. The most criminal and the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States, the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration, has ended America's energy independence while at the same time prevented America from being the richest and most dominant country in the world. The criminally corrupt Joe Biden is in the pocket of the Chinese government and has sold out America and the American people. Most democrat controlled cities and states are in major debt, overrun by criminals and crime and in disaray. USA borders are unprotected and open for anyone from anywhere in the world to come across illegally and criminally to destroy the American way of life. The present administration has lost respect from nations all across the globe. How America left Afghanistan, losing American lives, and the lives of Afghans who were helping America. Leaving Americans and our Afghan friends behind to be tortured and murdered. A disgrace beyond belief. American banks folding up and being destroyed. Money printed creating massive inflation well over 20% while the administration lies in the face of the American people claiming inflation is minimal and no problem. The worse is yet to come people. But we must spend multi-billions of dollars on fake reparations, fake woke, fake climate change, all so the Biden crime family and their criminal allies in this administration get richer and richer while YOU, the regular and real people of America suffer more and more.

Benny Pake said...

What is good today about this game is the prime bullpen arms are getting well rested and hopefully will be a big help and the deciding factor in the next series.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees win 11-3. Brito only goes 4 1/3 innings, not sharp and earns a no decision. Cordero goes 1 2/3 scoreless innings and earns the win. Garcia goes final 3 innings, gives up 1 run and earns a save, Yankee offense solid, big boppers, LeMahieu 2 run home run, Bader 3 run home run, and Volpe a grand slam, combined accounting for 9 of the 11 runs. Yanks sweep this three game series and seem to be trending in the right direction.

HerecomestheJudge said...

Next up for the Yankees are the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at Yankee Stadium for a four game long weekend series. Listed to start for the Yankees are German, Cole, Cortes, and Schmidt.

My prediction below.
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
If the Yankees win all four games of this series, the Yankees win the American League East Division title.

Linda Pardo said...

HerecomestheJudge, that is some confidence. I'll go a step above, I predict if the Yankees take 3 of 4 from the Rays, the Yankees will win the division.

In my lifetime, and I will be 89 time year, and I have lived in NYC all my life. --- The liberal leftwing democrats will promise the people everything the people want to hear, but they will only give you lies, deceit, and corruption.

SWEEP THE WEEK

jimbo said...

This weekend four game series will be a good test for the Yankees. The team is really not doing that bad as all to many stat frauds think. Player three one run game against the team with the best record in baseball in their park was a pretty decent showing. Taking three from Oakland really didn't prove anything except that they did what they needed to do. Lets see what happens.

Norm Jackson said...

The Yankees should play one game at a time. Go all out each game, play hard, play smart, play small ball, play long ball, do whatever it takes to win. Play as a team and for the team. To hell with your individual stats. Move runners, put the ball in play. Yes you can.

Tom Loughlin said...

As in the song, I got good vibrations.

Guy Padikian said...

Todays Yankee lineup.

Domingo German (R) P

1. Anthony Volpe (R) SS
2. Aaron Judge (R) RF
3. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
4. DJ LeMahieu (R) 3B
5. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
6. Jake Bauers (L) LF
7. Harrison Bader (R) CF
8. Jose Trevino (R) C
9. Willie Calhoun (L) DH

A viable lineup. I would make one change and my change would make LF defense better and DH stronger all in one. Bauers bats 6th but as DH and Cabrera bats 9th replacing Calhoun and play LF.

Ralph--Yuma said...

At the stroke of midnight tonight the USA will be invaded with the help and support of the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration and the radical leftwing liberal democrat scum in America.

Every American who is murdered by any illegal alien going further should be equaled by the execution of a member of the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration starting at the top and working down the list.

Grosner said...

Ralph, not only will the boarders be completely open at midnight tonight (I thought they were already wide open?) but when they are they are coming directly to your hometown to change your way of life, give you diseases, cancel out your vote, and shove fentanyl and enchiladas down your throat. Resistance is futile.

Yankeefan2 said...

The all important game one of a series. Lets go Yankees. Yes you can.

Woody/Atlanta said...

Grosner, most important, one person, Joe Biden, and his band of criminals, the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration created, fostered, and encouraged this entire fiasco. It is a shame the American people have to live and DIE through this because of a political party that is the scum of America and hell bent on destroying America and the American people.

Grosner said...

Absolutely, Woody. Biden has has 80 years to perfect his craft as a mastermind villain bent on destroying America.

No surprise, this is usually what happens when a man has his family torn apart by the death of his infant son and wife in a car crash and then watches his adult son suffer and die from brain cancer. It was inevitable he would turn to a life of crime to pay for his lavish indulgences like ice cream cones.

Look no further than this video showing the true deprivity of Joe Biden. Sick stuff and the American people suffer because of it.

candycane said...

0-0 after 4.

jimbo said...

Lets try this. Rays pitcher Rasmussen as now pitched 18 complete innings against the Yankees in his career and has never given up a run.

Yankeeforever said...

Marinaccio relieves German in 6th with man on first and two outs. He gives up a single, hits next batter and then gives up a base clearing double that buries the Yanks 4-0.

Lee King said...

Sweep the week looks bad right now. Yankees down 5-0 thru seven.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees lose 8-2. No contest. Yank bats anemic. Scored their 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and down 8-0. Meaningless. German pitched a great game into the 6th inning and takes the loss through no fault on his part.

Deb F said...

Tonight's game was a real disappointment and a downer.

Frank Harris said...

Cole on tap for tomorrow's game two and he needs to make amends for blowing last weeks start against Tampa and a 6-0 lead.

muchomachoman said...

Grosner, to comply with this blogs rules on posting I will use an allowable word to describe your latest comment.

Manure makes the flowers grow, and Grosner has the most spectacular garden anyone would like to see.

FloridaYankee said...

Cole does need to hold it together tonite and earn a win.

Howie Long said...

CNN held a town hall meeting with Trump the other night. It was CNN's highest rated show in many years. Trump won big time with the audience, making his points, and MAGA philosophy.

The leftwing media and politicians went berserk with CNN doing the town hall and allowing Trump to speak freely. They can't stand Trump or anyone calling out their corruption and lies.

Tony Manchu said...

Rodon thinks it will be another 6 weeks until he make first 2023 start. Pathetic.

Guy Padikian said...

6. Isiah Kiner-Falefa (R) LF
7. Anthony Volpe (R) SS
8. Jose Trevino (R) C
9. Oswaldo Cabrera (S) 2B

Why no Bauers???

Reggie Merenick said...

Guy Padikian, didn't Bauers hit the ground making a sliding catch last night? Under Boone, who knows how long he can be out? There is no mention of any injury. Maybe Boone feels a weak hitting right handed bat can do better than a more powerful left handed bat in Yankee Stadium. Oh wait, do I have that backwards?

candycane said...

Yanks down 2-1 after 4.

Jimmy Thames said...

Cole goes just five innings allowing two solo home runs and leaves with a 2-2 score.

Stan the Man said...

Volpe and Cabrera rbi singles in 7th give Yankees 4-2 lead.

RLA said...

You have to be kidding. King pitching for Yanks, first three hitters, single, single, home run, Yanks in the hole immediately 5-4 in 8th inning.

okiened said...

Bottom of 8th, Rizzo 2 run HR puts Yankees back on top 6-5. Three more outs.

RLA said...

Peralta with a scoreless ninth for the save and a 6-5 come from behind twice win. Rizzo the star on his night of the bobblehead with two home runs and three rbi's.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees win 6-5. Ups and downs tonight, but in the end a big win. Cole give up 2 runs and King gives up 3, Holmes with a scoreless 8th for the win and Peralta a scoreless 9th for the save. All the Yank scoring, Rizzo solo HR for a 1-1 tie in the 1st. Volpe solo HR for a 2-2 tie in 5th. Volpe and Cabrera each with an rbi single for a 4-2 lead in the 7th. Rizzo 2 run HR in 8th for 6-5 lead in 8th. And that all came out for a winning game.

Jack Gordon said...

It wasn't easy, but it was a win. Cortes tomorrow.

Jackson DeWitt-Iowa said...

Cortes pitches against McClanahan tomorrow afternoon who is 7-0 on the season with a sub 2,00 ERA.

Lori Kelly said...

Thrilling game last night, evoking senses of highs and lows just minutes apart. But it was only one game. Need to win more often and more consistently.

Guy Padikian said...

Nestor Cortes (L) P

1. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
2. Aaron Judge (R) DH
3. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
4. DJ LeMahieu (R) 3B
5. Harrison Bader (R) CF
6. Isiah Kiner-Falefa (R) LF
7. Anthony Volpe (R) SS
8. Jake Bauers (L) RF
9. Kyle Higashioka (R) C

Wonder why Bauers is in instead of Cabrera against a left handed pitcher.

Andrew J said...

1-0 Tampa after third inning.

Sal Mineo said...

Cortes unravels in fifth giving up grand slam and now out of game with Yanks down 5-0.

Yanks23245 said...

Higgy and Judge each with two run home runs in the fifth. Yanks trail 6-4 after five.

Yankeefan2 said...

Sixth inning, Volpe bunt single, steals second, steals third, scores on passed ball. Yanks now down 6-5. Torres hit by pitch, Judge two run home run and take 7-6 lead. Rizzo bunt single. DJ walks, Bader walks, Cabrera 2 rbi single for 9-6 lead, Volpe K's to end inning he started.

Vince/Brooklyn said...

Yankees follow their 4 run 5th inning with a 5 run 6th inning and take a 9-6 lead.

Remember WIN ETHOD fans, only losers give up. This game is not over until it's over.

YankeeMike said...

The Yankees win it 9-8. Peralta brilliant again just as last night in the 9th for another save against the Rays.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees win 9-8. Best game in baseball so far this season. Peralta with the save for the second game in a row. Todays win insures a split of this series for the Yankees and a win tomorrow would be gigantic. A gigantic team win coming from behind 6-0 scoring 4 runs in the 5th inning and 5 in the 6th inning. Everyone contributing and a heck of a lot of producing when it mattered most. Cabrera's two out two rbi single for the Yankees 8th and 9th run was huge.

Steve(winstheonlystat) said...

A nice effort by the Yanks today. You all should be proud of your team Yankee fans. The say fans will be the tools and fools at the nyyfan forum site.

Frank Sergi said...

Schmidt starts tomorrows game. Will events from these past two games inspire him to success.

okiened said...

I am treating myself to a big juicy medium rare ribeye steak tonight with a couple of adult beverages to celebrate today's Yankee win. Game went down to the last out.

Patricia Piper said...

Sweet come from out of the clouds win today. Good job guys.

bigbadwolf said...

Nice to see the Stadium packed to the gills for this series.

Steve, you are right about the nyyfan forum. They are the worst of the worst. They were ripping Cortes after todays game. ""washed up", "he couldn't keep pitching like he had been", "he had been DFA'd by several teams for a reason". ---- All the posters have a capital L on their forehead.

8. Jose Trevino (R) C
9. Oswaldo Cabrera (S) 2B

A new wrinkle. Torres out. Schmidt to keep us in it? The bats alive again?

yankeeclipper said...

Schmidt pitching his game. Gives up 3 runs in first three innings. But Yankees get two run home runs from Cabrera and Rizzo for a 4-3 Yankee lead after three innings. A very long way to go.

Lou Lis said...

Yanks trail 8-4 thru six.

candycane said...

Yanks down 8-5 after 7.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees lose 8-7. Judge flies out to left center field wall to end game. Rays pitcher thought it was a home run. Tough game to lose, but games are hard to win when your starter gives up 7 runs in less than five innings. Yanks and Rays have played six 1 run games of seven this season.

Jill Byrnes said...

Tough one to lose. The rest of the season does look promising.

Hobbs said...

Yankees now head to Toronto for a four game series. From the frying pan into the fire.

Roger Brown said...

It was not all Schmidt's fault, Abreu gave up the grand slam on an 0-2 pitch.

YankeeMike said...

Cordero named as todays starter. Then German, Cole, and Cortes.

6. Anthony Volpe (R) SS
7. Oswaldo Cabrera (S) 3B
8. Kyle Higashioka (R) C
9. Aaron Hicks (S) CF

I don't believe Hicks is playing again.

YankeeBob said...

Good start for Yankees. Judge solo and Calhoun two run home runs for a 3-0 first inning.

Carl Hooks said...

Yankees leading 5-0 thru five innings.

Saul Irving said...

Torres is playing one heck of a pathetic game.

Tom Loughlin said...

Torres big error in 8th gives Toronto 3 free runs cutting Yankee lead to 7-4 after 8.

Yankeefan2 said...

Yankees win opening game of four in Toronto 7-4. Good win. bats are doing well.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees win 7-4. Cordero start game and goes two scoreless innings. Brito comes in for the third inning and goes five scoreless innings before allowing 4 runs in the eighth. Gets one out in the eighth and could have been out of the inning giving up just 1 run, but Torres sloppy sloppy play on a double play ground ball extends the inning allowing 3 runs to score. Hamilton in and gets one out and was ineffective. King comes in to get the final out in the eighth to quell the Blue Jay rally, then pitchers a 1,2,3, ninth for the save. Brito gets the win. Yankee get two solo home runs from Judge and a 2 run home run from Calhoun. Judge with an rbi walk, Higashioka and rbi single, Rizzo and rbi double for all the runs. Nice to win the first game of this four game series using an opener pitcher and then getting a strong five innings from Brito.

One game at a time. German, Cole, Cortes start next three in Toronto. Keep it going guys.

Walt Belamy said...

Torres also had a base running blunder last night. Runners on 2nd & 3rd with one out, he was on 3rd, line drive to right fielder, Torres thought is was going to fall in for a hit and never went back to 3rd to tag, He has talent, but not baseball sense, has always committed mental mistakes much to often.

Gerald J. Boyum said...

After four years the Durham report has been released. After four years we have found out that the democrat liberal party are what we knew they were. Criminals. Criminals that corrupted an election, corrupted our political season, corrupted our government agencies, corrupted our educational system, corrupted our morals, and our very close to ending America as a free republic.

How many of these criminals, and we know their names and who they are and what they did. How many of these criminals been punished. NONE, NADA, ZERO. They changed the direction of America. With lies, deceit, fake stories, fake news, more lies, and more deceit. They ruined lives of good people, exult their criminal complicit brethren, and extoll the virtues of their deadly deeds.

The end is only days away. How many days is impossible to say. The criminals and the corruption grows larger and it will overwhelm us all.

Stan the Man said...

German tonite, keep us in the game and hope the offense keeps doing what they've been doing these last few games.

Jackson DeWitt-Iowa said...

Gerald J. Boyum, When the radical leftwing democrats commit a crime, which is always,

1. Press/media, ignore it, call it made up, say there is nothing here, etc.
2. DOJ/prosecutors, ignore it, call it made up, say there is nothing here, etc.

When the conservative republicans do not commit a crime, which is most of the time,

1. Press/media, blow it out of proportion, make most of it up, go berserk over it, etc.
2. DOJ/prosecutors, persecute immediately, make it up to be worse than it may be, etc.

Liberal leftwing democrat speak -- a crime for you but not for me.

Grosner said...

Jackson and Gerald, sorry I missed it in Durham's report: what criminal charges did Durham bring in his years and years of investigations? I assume dozens given he was uncovering the crime of the century? Who is he recommending be prosecuted?

Walt Belamy said...

Grosner, instead of posting so many stupid comments, do you ever stop and think, try it, they use some common sense.

You have a criminal and corrupt administration, the most criminal and corrupt in history, the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration. You have a criminal and corrupt FBI, DOJ, US Attorney General, Department of Defense, leftwing liberal democrat politicians, the bought and paid for liberal leftwing democrat media,

Gerald and Jackson are right, as things now stand, there is no way out. As Frank Sinatra sung "And now, the end is near and so I (we) face the final curtain.

Carla Sherwin said...

Yes guys, the only thing the Trump election bought us was a great four years and delayed the liberal leftwing democrats four years before the end.

AAA said...

Torres again, thrown out at third base for last out in inning.

YankeeMike said...

After pitching three perfect innings German comes out to pitch the fourth and umpires check his hamd and throw him out of game. Foreign substance??

Vinny Ferrero said...

Hamilton comes in for German. Single, walk, K, K, walk, and come out of game with injury. Marinaccio comes in to get last out on fly to center. Yanks lead 2-0 thru 4.

AAA said...

Fifth inning, Torres thrown out at second base trying to stretch a single. Third time in two games. Not good nor smart.

candycane said...

3-3 after 7.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees win 6-3. German goes three perfect innings and then gets thrown out of the game at start of fourth inning -- sticky stuff?? Hamilton goes 2/3 shutout innings and leaves with injury. Marinaccio goes one inning and gives up all 3 Blue Jay runs. Weber 2 1/3 innings scoreless ball and earns the win. Holmes 1 inning scoreless for a hold. Peralta a scoreless 9th for the save. Judge 2 run HR and IKF solo HR. Torres rbi single and rbi sac fly. Bader fround out rbi for Yankee runs. Yanks take first two games of four game series. Cole starts tomorrows game.

Raul Vasquez said...

German likely to get suspended. There goes another starter out of the rotation. Hamilton injury, how bad? How many arms do the Yankees have?

Hoyle said...

Torres is a mental disaster. Not only base running blunders, but he made several bad judgement plays tonight that had the Yankees pitchers facing extra batters and pressure. Whatever, the win is what matters and counts.

Lou Lis said...

In light of the recent report released by John Durham, a report that proved beyond a shadow of doubt that the liberal leftwing democrat politicians across America, Hilary Clinton, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, James Comey and hundreds to thousands over other utterly corrupt and contemptible supporters of the radical leftwing liberal democrat cabal of criminals deliberately suborned elections in 2016 and 2020 with lies, collusion, disdain for America as a country and the American people, supported by a willing and disingenuous media, that no voter in America in any election ever vote for a liberal leftwing democrat candidate again for any office. As a matter of fact most of the people involved in these criminal acts should either be executed or put in prison for the rest of their lives. NOW! Take heed people, take back our country.

Dudley Squires said...

If criminal corruption is allowed to occur and there are no consequences/penalties/executions, then the criminal corruption will continue and get larger and larger until it consumes us all. Stop it all now. Stop the liberal democrats in the tracks.

Domenic said...

Won't know for another day or two, but German should get 10 game suspension. Yankees would then have to play with a 25 man roster.

Rajiv Maragh said...

It is a shame what the radical leftwing liberal democrats are doing to this country. If anyone is unable to see for themselves what is going on with policies, border, deficit, inflation, energy, crime, morals, etc. The entire administration is a cabal of corruption hell bent on destroying a free America. This must stop free brain alive people must stop it. The issue at hand is it may already be to late. Then the answer is revolution.

Tom Wilson said...

If there are no penalties for crimes committed by liberal dems, then they might as well keep committing crimes. However, at some point, when enough hard working, common sense, good people get fed up with the life the dems are forcing down their throat, their will be an upheaval and outroar from the people. Hopefully then, the scum of America, the radical leftwing liberal democrat scum will be destroyed.

Yanks23245 said...

As things stand now it looks like Severino will be starting this weekend in Cincinnati. After seeing is rehab start this earlier this week, there may be a lot to be desired in this his first start of the season. He was pretty bad in his rehab start. Six hits, a walk and three runs in 3 1/3 innings.

Eddie OConnor said...

Yankee reliever Ian Hamilton who was taken out of last night's game has a right groin strain and was placed on the 15 day DL today. One more obstacle thrown in front of this 2023 Yankee season.

Teena/ex-Bronx said...

What saddens me, is how can voters be so stupid that they would vote for a democrat of liberal. If anyone is unable to understand what is happening to this country, solely because of the policies, edicts, and corruption of the democrat party, that is sad, and an indictment of those people.

Grosner said...

Tom, to prosecute a crime you bring forth evidence. For example: a signed $120,000 check written to a porn star--that is an example of evidence. Another example is a phone recording demanding the Georgia secretary of state "find" 40,000 votes. Rudy Giuliani's perverted, sexually harassing text messages is another example. A paper trail of George Santos many financial crimes is evidence. A paper tail of Steve Bannon's illegal use of PAC money is evidence. Proven lies made in testimony by Michael Flynn is evidence. Documents proving Trump CFO Weisselburgs committed decades of tax fraud is evidence. I coud go on.

Just saying people are criminals does not count as evidence.

Guy Padikian said...

Todays Yankee lineup.

Gerrit Cole (R) P

1. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
2. Aaron Judge (R) RF
3. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
4. DJ LeMahieu (R) 3B
5. Jake Bauers (L) LF
6. Harrison Bader (R) CF
7. Willie Calhoun (L) DH
8. Jose Trevino (R) C
9. Oswaldo Cabrera (S) SS

So far so good in Canada. Do it again Keep hitting guys. Torres, try to pay attention and think.

Laura Koehler said...

Grosner, you have perfectly hammer locked yourself dead center into both Tom Wilson's and Teena-ex Bronx, posts. Not a good look, nor a place to be.

okiened said...

I think I will be disappointed if the Yankees do not win tonight with Cole starting.

Jackson DeWitt-Iowa said...

Grosner, your post has several inaccuracies and false points in it. But that is to be expected and accepted from your point of view.

You may want to read Rajiv Maragh's post which is all fact. Then again, maybe not in your world of fake news.

johnny said...

Lets go Yankees.

Swen Jorgenson said...

Scoreless thru three.

candycane said...

0-0 after 4.

Bond007 said...

One heck of a pitcher's duel. No score after six innings.

yankeeforever said...

Eight innings, still no runs.

NJYANKEE said...

Extra innings since neither team could score over the first nine.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees lose 3-0. Tenth inning 3 run HR off of Peralta decides game. Peralta takes the loss. Yankees with just 3 hits over ten innings. Neither produced when it mattered most over the first nine innings. You don't score, you can't win, simple as that. Yankees lead this four game series 2 games to 1. Cortes starts final game.

Yankeefan2 said...

Yankees lose 3-0 in ten. An awful lot of zeroes on the scoreboard. Not much worse than losing a game when your pitchers do not allow a run for nine innings.

Ziggy Mann said...

It was a great game to watch. Outcome was undesirable to say the least.

Deb F said...

I guess most fans would have thought splitting this four game series would have been fine. After winning the first two games, that was guaranteed. A win tomorrow would mean winning the series. Now that would be better the fine, it would be great. Lets go Yankees.

MAGA 2024 wake up America said...

FBI whistleblowers to testify today before congressional hearings. Watch, hear, and learn everyone. These patriots are testifying about the scum of our country. The scum radical leftwing liberal democrats who are destroying America.

Gene A said...

Democrats/liberals speak, they lie, obfuscate, hurt good people, laud criminals, laud corruption, and lie more.

Listen to the truth from great people who have server their country all their lives, for truth, justice, and the American way.

Frank Harris said...

What I have seen so far at today's hearings. Republicans for America and truth. Democrats against America and truth. The democrats when they have their time to question the whistleblowers spend most of their time personally attacking the whistleblowers, all of which have impeccable lifelong credentials.

Grosner said...

This "whistleblower" is insurrectionist? This is sickening:

Dunham’s letter included additional details about Friend’s clearance revocation, saying he espoused alternative theories about the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Friend entered “FBI space and downloaded documents from FBI computer systems to an unauthorized removable flash drive,” Dunham wrote. “The FBI then required Mr. Friend to attend a Security Awareness Briefing (SAB) regarding his actions, but he refused to do so.”

Dudley Hornesbe said...

All hail the state of Montana for banning the use of TikTok. Who will be smart and next.

muchomachoman said...

Grosner, "alternative theories" sounds like the hero whistleblower expressed a different opinion that the lies the FBI hierarchy told the American people. Mr. Friend refused further brainwashing. Good for him, and good that he came forward. Mr. Friend did the right thing even knowing his complete file would be made known. He is a hero, unlike the liberal democrat scum that head the FBI.

Hicks is back. Lets win this series.

Gerald J. Boyum said...

muchomachoman,

Anyone who believes this joe-bama/commie MALADY administration is the problem. They lie about everything, telling people how great things are while peoples lives are being destroyed.
1.Lie, the border is closed --- while the USA is being overrun with illegal criminals contaminating every state,
2.Lie. there is minimal inflation --- while people 2/3 of Americans live paycheck to paycheck with over 20% inflation.
3.Lie, there is no crime in democrat run cities --- it is worse than crime, it is devastation. Tens of thousands of people are moving out of democrat states and cities for republican states and cities.
4.Lie, Afghanistan fiasco evacuation was Trumps fault --- no, Trump was not President when the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration killed American soldiers, killed Afghanistan civilians, killed Afghanistan military allies, and when they left over 70 billion dollars of arms and equipment to the Taliban.
5.Lie, the liberal democrat scum do not want to defund the police, it is the republicans fault. Americans know who are defunding the police, they live there.
6.Lie, democrats love transgender men competing against women and think it fair and their right --- there are only two genders. You are either a man/male or a woman/female. Men compete against men and women compete against women. No tradeoffs, ifs, ands, or buts.

There's more, but I will stop here.

YankeeMike said...

Trevino (hamstring) placed on 10 day DL. Rortvedt called up. Lefty bat who will finally get into a game.

Lucasloveslollipops said...

Then there is the Fauci lie and his creation of Covid which killed millions all over the world.
Then there is Weingarten the teacher's union garbage who set America's children back educationally for at least a year.

Don't forget the scum Garland and Wray. Both bought and paid for. Both liars and corrupt.

Stache Colinski said...

Yankees lead 2-1 after three innings on Aaron Judge first inning two run home run to dead center.

candycane said...

Yanks up 2-1 after 6.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees win 4-2. It really doesn't, but it sort of makes up for last night's loss. Cortes goes 6+ innings giving up the 2 Blue Jay runs in a very strong effort. Weber goes the 7th for a hold. Abreu goes the 8th for a hold. Marinaccio goes a quick 1,2,3 9th for the save. Yankee scoring, Judge first inning 2 run home run. Hicks two out rbi single for 3rd run. Volpe solo home run in 9th for 4th run. Yankees take 3 of 4 games in Toronto. Hopefully no let down in Cincinnati in this weekends three game series.

Linda Rice said...

Yankee take 3 of 4 in Toronto beating the Blue Jays 4-2 tonight. Yankees got a strong six innings from Cortes and three scoreless innings from a depleted hanging on a thread bullpen. A good feeling game.

Victor Grandozi said...

Yankee pitchers for three games with Reds, Schmidt, ?????, Luis Luis. Need help from the bats. Will likely see Rortvedt at catcher in a game or two.

Mickey Littlebear said...

Todays FBI hearings. The democrats on the panel only attacked the whistleblowers character. The democrats can't attack their statements of fact, so they attack them personally. These men had careers that have been destroyed by the democrat scum of America and their tool FBI. These men had families that have been hurt by their husbands loss of job. This is how the radical leftwing liberal democrat scum work. They destroy good and exult evil.

Ernie1990 said...

We all should acknowledge the hero FBI agents who are telling the story of corruption and how much rot is at the top echelons of the FBI and DOJ fostered and encouraged by the joebama/commie MALADY administration who are all in on destroying the fabric of America, life, liberty, and justice.

yankeeclipper said...

Here is a comment from a Yankee board posted last night. It is the kind of post which separates all other Yankee posting sites from the WIN METHOD. In my opinion, it is a garbage post from a garbage poster.

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Yesterday, 09:11 PM
Weber getting out of that based loaded jam and giving up just 1 run in the 7th inning was an absolute miracle. Now hopefully he never throws another pitch for the Yankees again.

Harry Stavris said...

yankeeclipper, thank you for finding and posting that comment here. That comment is a disgrace. Weber was called into a big spot in a big game. He did his job and kept the Yankees ahead because he did his job. For a fan to say that Weber's success was an 'absolute miracle' is disgusting and then to add " hopefully he never throws another pitch for the Yankees again" his beyond belief. A truly degenerate poster.

Margo Walley said...

This is the scum of our nation at work. This the the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration. This the scum radical leftwing democrats. This is a disgrace. The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration and their willing and culpable allies need to be wiped off the face of the earth.

Margo Walley, and you won't hear a word about it from the leftwing media ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, etc, etc.

This should never be happening, yet it is encouraged and sanctioned by the scum of this country as their supporters, 'don't know nothing'.

Grosner said...

Margo,
A) this study was done under Trump's NIH
B) this study did not conduct 'experiments' just measured mental health outcomes of people getting therapies
C) study showed vastly improved mental health for those getting therapies
D) Youth LGBT suicide rates are 4x overall rate, largely because these kids are not getting proper mental and medical support

No LeMahieu, no Bader, and no left handed hitting catcher Rortvedt. Yes, Hicks earned tonight's start after last nights game.

Carla Sherwin said...

Grosner, so you condone this behavior by the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration and the radical leftwing democrat scum of America!

Larry Yankee said...

I am somewhat surprised that Rortvedt is not starting tonight. Need to win this series and go on to the next.

RLA said...

Judge another first inning home run. Yanks lead 1-0 after one.

candycane said...

Yanks up 1-0 after 4.

Yanks23245 said...

Rizzo two run home run in sixth gives Yankees 3-0 lead. But, after going five scoreless innings Schmidt packs it in and gives up 2 runs. Cordero comes in and stops the bleeding. Yankees lead 3-2 after six.

will-i-am said...

Final. Yankees win 6-2. Schmidt goes five allowing 2 runs. Cordero a scoreless 6th. Abreu a scoreless 7th. Peralta a scoreless 8th. Ramirez a scoreless 9th. Judge solo HR, Rizzo a two run HR, a big 2 out 2 rbi double in the 9th by Higashioka and an add on rbi single by Bader for all the Yankee runs.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

Yanks win 6-2, but was closer than final score. Yankees scored 3 runs in the 9th with two outs,

NJYANKEE said...

Yanks win 6-2. Nice to win game one of a three game series. No starter yet named for Yankees tomorrow.

Izy Hernandez said...

Right now it looks as if tomorrow's game will be a bullpen game for the Yankees. With Luis Luis starting Sunday the Yankees will need several innings of relief to back him up also. They used four guys tonight all going one inning.

Not a Terrorist? The Biden Team Killed the Wrong Person Again. May 18, 2023 10:55 PM.

What do you expect from a man who’s been on the wrong side of every major American foreign policy initiative over the past 40 years? We’re talking about the man who didn’t want to send US Navy Seals into Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden. Joe Biden’s foreign policy is littered with incompetence, which goes double when hunting and killing radical Islamic terrorists. In Syria, the Biden administration announced that they had killed a top-level al-Qaeda official, only to walk that back when it turned out they killed the wrong guy (via Washington Post):

U.S. military officials are walking back claims that a recent strike in Syria killed an influential al-Qaeda figure, following assertions by the dead man’s family that he had no ties to terrorists but was a father of 10 tending to his sheep when he was slain by an American missile.

Lotfi Hassan Misto, 56, whose family identified him as the victim of a Hellfire missile attack on May 3, was a former bricklayer who lived quietly in this town in northwest Syria, according to interviews with his brother, son and six others who knew him. They described a kind, hard-working man whose “whole life was spent poor.”

The operation was overseen by U.S. Central Command, which claimed hours after the strike, without citing evidence or naming a suspect, that the Predator drone strike had targeted a “senior Al Qaeda leader.” But now there is doubt inside the Pentagon about who was killed, two U.S. defense officials told The Washington Post.

“We are no longer confident we killed a senior AQ official,” one official said. The other, offering a slightly different view, said “though we believe the strike did not kill the original target, we believe the person to be al-Qaeda.” Both spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss preliminary determinations of an ongoing investigation into the incident.

In the weeks since the attack, U.S. military officials have refused to identify publicly who their target was, how the error occurred, whether a legitimate terrorist leader escaped and why some in the Pentagon maintain Misto was a member of al-Qaeda despite his family’s denials.

The only people who should be executed are the people responsible for the policies and actions of the US government.
