WIN METHOD - YANKEE BASEBALL HOT STOVE 2024 - 2025
The 2024 season has concluded, not in the way YANKEE fans were looking for. Playing the 162-game regular season and making the playoffs was really good. Winning two playoff series against two of the best teams in baseball and earning the right to be one of only two teams in the World Series was great. Losing the World Series, even maybe the way the YANKEES lost the World Series was a big letdown, and a sad way to end the 2024 season. Bad things can happen at bad times, and vice versa, it is part of baseball.
The 2024 season is now part of the past. We are now between seasons, and the hot stove is lit, as the stove is warming up. There are some big names in free agency who teams will be wooing and bidding on. None bigger than Juan Soto.
The YANKEES will do everything they can to keep Soto in pinstripes and teamed with Aaron Judge, keeping intact the most formidable one-two offensive punch in baseball. The YANKEES will also be in the market, either through free agency, trade, or from their minor league system a first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, starting pitcher, high pressure relief pitcher, and an outfielder.
From the horse's mouth, the YANKEES will be all in on reaching and winning the World Series in 2025. It's up to the YANKEE brass to put the pieces in place to make it happen, and then for the pieces to make happen on the field. Watch for a couple of internal options this season. WIN METHOD baseball will be the battle cry. Hal Steinbrenner and company will do their best; however, it always takes two parties to make a deal happen.
For you, the fans of the WIN METHOD blog and concept, this blog will hit the two billion view mark over the next two weeks. That is simply amazing. Fans read and post on this blog from all over the world, you all have made the WIN METHOD blog the number one YANKEE baseball blog in existence, bar none. Thank you for being here and all your comments. Isn't it great to have no advertisements, no sign up nonsense, no popups, and no ignorant moderators telling you what you can and can't say.
Thank you all again, for being an integral part of this blog. LETS GO YANKEES.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 999 Newer› Newest»Phillies/Yankees play 7-7 nine inning tie in a typical early spring training game. Yankee high notes, Volpe 2 run HR and Cabrera a solo HR. Low spot, Rodon another poor outing, giving up 3 runs in 2 2/3 innings.
Cole to make his first spring appearance, starting tomorrow night's game. 6:30PM. TV
With Cole making his first spring start tonight, the game at home field in Florida, and the game televised, will we see our 'opening day players' in the lineup tonight.
Judge won't make his first appearance until tomorrow, so he won't be in lineup tonight.

Judge and LeMahieu both making their spring debut.
Will Judge and Bellinger bat 2-3 against right handed pitchers? Common sense and logical I think.
George Lombard Jr. blasts homer to deep left center. Also playing third base today. Could be Yankee third baseman in another year.
Lombard Jr solo HR, Judge 2 rbi single for a 3-1 Yankee lead after 3.
Rice with a laser HR to right. Looking good.
Yankees with a pleasant 9-3 early spring win this afternoon. Yankee HRs from Lombard, Rice, and Gabrielson. It was just his first game of the season for LeMahieu, but he looked bad hitting as the DH.
The Yankees have announced today that Giancarlo Stanton will start the 2025 season on the DL.
Looks like you can add DJ to the DL and his Yankee career may be over. He strained his calf during his second at bat today. Sad, to happen to anyone.

The Yankees Lombard Jr. is held in high regard by most baseball 'analyst people', the Yankees, and many fans like me. He is just 19 years old, will turn 20 exactly 3 months from today. He has the pedigree, the body, and athleticism, to reach a high level. This season in the minors his story will start to play out as he develops. My hope is he is the Yankee third baseman for the 2026 season at minimum. Possibly, late this season also? The Yanks are due for a diamond and so are the Yankee fans.
Wouldn't it be lovely.

Let go Yankees.
Sloppy effort from Stroman today. Gets a 'D' on report card.
A perfect spring training loss today, losing to the Braves 11-1, as Stroman and several minor league pitchers where shelled.
Heck, I would even rather lose a regular season game 11-1 than 2-1.
Fried is slated to start his first spring game as a Yankee tomorrow night.

Fun lineup. Welcome aboard Max Fried. Glad to have you in pinstripes.
I am really getting excited and looking forward to this Yankee season. High hopes.
Fried could be a bigger difference maker than Soto was. Then throw in Bellinger, Goldschmidt, Williams, you for sure are a better team.
Word on Gil. Luis Gil has a high-grade lat strain. It's at least a six-week no-throw. Usually another six weeks to totally return, barring any setbacks. First week of June at best. So be it.
Fried with a 1,2,3 first inning.

If Warren gets through today's Philie lineup, he is for real. If he holds his own, that would be great.
Sweet Lord, who are the analysts who have rated Yankee minor leaguers so poorly. The Yankees are loaded. World Series here we come. WIN METHOD says the Yanks are loaded. Oh yeah, Yankees hammered Wheeler and lead 10-1 mid third.
Warren three innings, only one bad pitch for a solo HR. He has been fantastic against Phillie starting lineup. And Yanks lead 10-1. A lot of kids blooming and growing.
Devin Williams makes his Yankee debut today and looked good going one scoreless inning. 10-1 Yanks thru five.
Dominguez HR in sixth. 11-1. Today is the Yankees day, hope there are many of them once the season starts.
After this afternoon's great showing by the Yankees, I hope everyone watches as President Trump talks to you, me, us, and we the people tonight at 9PM. Listen and hear the truth, because you will never get it from the demonrats.
Hear what he and his administration have already accomplished and what is ahead to be done. Watch what the demonrats do in response to his achievements. Then listen to their lies, because that is all the demonrats have in their arsenal. Lies and made-up stories. Trump is making America great for everyone. You will see a major difference over the next few years.
Final, 12-3. Kids had a party today.
It was some game today for the Yankees. You couldn't script it better. Warren breezed thru the Phillie lineup allowing just one hit and one run over three innings. Every Yankee who started the game had a hit and scored a run. And they did it against a very good starter in Wheeler.
Trumps on a roll. USA USA USA
After back to back 12-3 games Yankees have off day today.
Trump was right on target last night in his address to the nation while the demonrats put on a full display of their contempt for America, American heroes being honored, and the American people in general. The demonrats rebuttal was also a meaningless repeat of their hateful policies. There is only one way to vote in all future election, and that is conservative republican. Voting for any other party is just plain stupidity. Your choice people, are you smart or are you stupid?
Gail Hines, THANK YOU, for periodically posting the DOGE clock. It is a great reminder of the great things the great President Trump and his greatest administration is doing for the American people.
TRUMP CONGRESSIONAL ADDRESS -- March 4, 2025
The starkest impact made by President Donald Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress was the boldness of his vision and the absolute absence of any alternative from the Democratic Party.
Whether you voted for Trump or not last November, it was hard on Tuesday night not to see someone seeking to put his agenda into practice. The president made clear to lawmakers, and indeed the world, that his overarching goal is American renewal and the reinvigoration of the American Dream.
As an American patriot who remembers JFK’s inaugural address in 1961, and remembers Ronald Reagan’s inaugural address in 1980, it’s hard not to see the president’s speech in the same terms.
Still, it is very hard for anyone who is a neutral observer to do anything other than recognize the forward-looking, expansive nature of Trump's vision.
At the same time, it does not appear to me that the political party that I continue to belong to, with increasing difficulty, has any answers at all.
Doug, you do realize you do not need to remain with the democrat party. It does not exist as you knew it. The democrat party has been hi-jacked by liberals and progressive, who are the true scum of the earth. They are now known as the demonrats. All past democrats and those still clinging to the democrat past, you are being ignored. See the light, join the MAGA movement, help save your country, become sane, become a republican conservative.

Rotten game from Yanks today. Volpe sets the stage with a no excuse error leading to a five-run inning.
Cole with a real clunker too. Glad it was a spring game.
Todays game is in the books. Yanks go down 8-4. Cole gave up the ghost in the second inning. Yankees didn't score until being down 8-0.

Four regulars and five auditioners.
Wells and Bellinger with first inning home runs. 2-0 Yankees after one.
Yanks win 8-7 over Toronto. Usual crazy spring training game.
After his second spring start, which was poor, Cole getting test on his pitching elbow. Just too many injuries to too many players in baseball nowadays.
I am the last gloom and doomer, and hope I am wrong, but I think Cole may be done. Because he went through this last season with his elbow. Got patched up, and held together long enough to help get the Yankees to the WS. When he asked for an extension on his contract of this past winter I wondered why. When the Yankees said no, I felt they knew Cole was hanging by a thread. The thread broke, and at his age, I think he may be done. This is sad for me to write, and in my opinion this what you get when baseball players are pushed, and push themselves to extremes their bodies are not able to handle. 😢☹️😢
The problem is MLB and the owners. They are reaping in the dollars at the expense of baseball fans of every team. They push the players to limits their bodies cannot endure. Throw hard, harder, hardest, swing the bat hard, harder, hardest, exit velocity, launch angle, spin rate, and more. The game is being destroyed as each player is destroyed.
The Yankee knowing Cole issue could be his end at any time, may have been the reason they signed Fried, who may fall into the final injury trap in any year down the road.
The players who make it to MLB, if they are smart, are set for life financially. Even, the players who don't will live pretty comfortably, again if they are smart about handling the money they earn. Then there are always so many players who love the game that don't make the majors and don't make a lot of many. Hopefully they got a college degree and can live well off that. But then, there are the players from foreign countries who are the worse off and just go back home and maybe struggle.
If Cole is done for the season, or even misses half the season, the Yankee lineup will have to really step up for the team to make the playoffs.

If Cole is down for the season, the Yankees will need to find a way to the playoffs. Who and how many Yankee players will rise to the occasion!
Yankees go down 6-5 to Cardinals today as pitchers give up four home runs.
I've been watching all the games and all the players. I can see the positives and negatives of pretty much all of the guys. The Yankees do have a nice core of players on the team now, and upcoming, this year and in the future. It will be just a question if the team can put all the pieces together, have them produce when it matters most, and win enough games for a successful competitive season.
Cole says he is getting a second opinion. I bet the answer will be the same, you need TJS.

Everyone gets live MLB game action today. The start of the 2025 is getting close.
In the away game against the Pirates the Yanks will be facing a top young pitcher in Skenes.
Just what Schmidt needed for his late start to spring training, a slap in the face of reality as he gives up three runs and four barreled up base hits in the first inning. Now to build on that.
Yankees go down 6-2 to Orioles and go down 9-1 to Pirates. Schmidt in his first outing this spring gives up 2 run HR in first inning. He was taken out in the second inning reaching his pitch count limit.
Yankees have an off day tomorrow. On Thursday Fried will start a 1pm game against Detroit.
First month under the Trump administration the inflation rate eased to 2.8% in February, lower than expected. Slowly but surely America will get better. There may be a hiccup here and there along the way. Wait and see the progress after a year, two, three and four.

Report on Cole's Tommy John surgery. Cole's surgery went well and included a full ligament replacement and an internal brace which could shorten his recovery time to twelve months. He could be as good as new by May first 2026.
This from CBS sports and several other agencies.
"New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole has undergone Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2025 MLB season, according to the team. The surgery included internal bracing, a relatively new procedure that improves the level of support on the ligament and can speed up recovery time."

Judges spring training reminds me of the springs of many decades ago. Spring results mean little to nothing for veterans. It's all about being ready for opening day, in heart and mind.
Schmidt second start of spring today. Better than first one?
First six batters in game one all opening day starters, the other two are in game two.
Lets go Yankees.
No Jasson today? Rest day? I tuned in just to watch him.
hhill nnyforum, you wrote what is posted here on the clique based nyy forum and it was copied and pasted here, likely by a WIN METHOD forum to illustrate just how stupid the fans over there are.
So, in response to your post over there, -- You are an idiot, Dominquez is playing on the split squad game listed on this site and everywhere on the internet. There isn't a poster at the nyyfan forum worth a hhill of beans.

Road game against Toronto.
Yanks go down 6-5 to Blue Jays on a walk off two out 0-2 pitch in bottom of ninth.
Just want to put our likely Opening Day lineup in perspective for people who keep saying we can’t develop hitters:
Drafted/INTL signed by Yanks: 6 (Wells, Judge, Volpe, Rice, Domínguez, Cabrera/Peraza)
Traded, paying with actual prospects: 1 (Chisholm)
FA from outside the org, or traded for by taking on salary: 2 (Bellinger, Goldy)
A full good season at the plate for Wells (115-120 wRC+), which is not his ceiling, would make him a 6 WAR phenom. Judge is Judge. Getting Volpe’s bat to even league-average puts him at 4+ WAR. Rice looks like he may have responded to pitchers adjusting and can pose a genuine threat at the plate. Domínguez has the hype and the tools to succeed. Chisholm has looked like playing for a winning team (with a short porch to boot) unlocked his potential. Cabrera provides great defense at a ton of positions and league-average against RHP, and Peraza might be able to make it as his platoon partner.
That’s a ton of talent to generate in-house or acquire with talent you generated in-house.
Well said. Having 2 or 3 guys with breakout seasons would be an anomaly, but anomalies do happen.

Yankees host the bosux. Fried starts for Yanks. MLB season is right around the corner.
I have seen many Yankee youngsters making solid contact all spring. The Yankees youngsters have been competitive and have been contributing in every game.
Fried goes 4 1/3 very dominant scoreless innings with 68 pitches. Leaves up 2-0.
Plate umpire has been pathetic today. How bad is he? He call Chisholm out on 3-2 pitch. Chisholm tapped his helmet to challenge call and jogged down to first base. The challenge picture was shown within a few seconds showing the pitch missing the strike zone by two inches. Ump has missed at least a dozen or more calls today, the one that were challenge were all overturned.
Game over. Yanks 4 sux 4. Tie game after nine.
Demonrats are not only stupid and ignorant, they are also criminals, corrupt, and lie 90% of the time when they say how they will make America better and help the American people.
President Trump, with the overwhelming aid and support from Elon Musk, bring the astronauts left by in space by the demonrat corrupt Joe Brandon Biden administration, safely just over a half hour ago, splashing down in the Gulf of America just off the coast of Florida. 🎇😊💖⬆️🎆😊

It's scary to see how many corrupt demonrat judges there are making lawfare decisions that hurt America and the American people.
After taking a 9-0 lead, minor league Yankee relievers give up 7 runs to the Phillies before getting the final out for a 9-7 win. These kids can't throw strikes. I know they are just developing and learning, but you see how many guys reach the minor leagues and then see how few ever get to the major leagues, it goes to show just how hard baseball is.
Carasco throws five scoreless innings tonight with 58 pitches. Solid effort.
Game two tonight, Yankees lose 4-0 to Braves. High spot for Yanks was Carasco's five scoreless innings to start the game.
Every time the progressive liberal demonrats file an injunction or law suit against Trump and his administration they are sticking a knife in the back of the American people. They must be stopped. NEVER EVER VOTE FOR A PROGRESSIVE, LIBERAL, DEMONRAT AGAIN.

Reyes and Peraza battling for a roster spot?
Yankees have really looked good these last two games, in every aspect of the game.
Yankees lose 8-7. Leading 7-0, Yankee minor leaguers allow 8 runs in 9th inning for the loss.
If todays game was a regular season game, I would be very upset right now. Leading 7-0 after eight innings, a couple of minor league pitchers give up 8 runs in the ninth innings and Yankees lose 8-7. The score doesn't matter when the game doesn't matter. It did matter to the two Yankee relievers who looked like they were pitching batting practice.

Sad news from Brett Gardner and his wife Jessica.
Here is the statement from Brett and Jessica Gardner.
With heavy hearts we are saddened to announce the passing of our youngest son, Miller. He was 14 years old and has left us far too soon after falling ill along with several other family members while on vacation. We have so many questions and so few answers at this point, but we do know that he passed away peacefully in his sleep on the morning of Friday, March 21st.
Miller was a beloved son and brother and we cannot yet comprehend our life without his infectious smile. He loved football, baseball, golf, hunting, fishing, his family and his friends. He lived life to the fullest every single day.
We are so thankful to all who have reached out to offer support and encouragement during this difficult time and we are confident our faith, family, and friends will help us navigate this unimaginable loss. Our prayers go out to Miller's teammates and friends, as well as to all other families who have lost a child far too soon as we share their grief.
Final score today, Rays 3 Yankees 3. Volpe solo HR and Wells 2 run HR all the Yankee runs.
Very sad story. Far too young to pass away. Condolences to the Gardner family.
The worst thing that could ever happen to a parent. So terrible.
I am very saddened to hear about Gardners son. Gardner was one of my favorite Yankees over eight decades, always gave it his all and was WIN METHOD.

Mets using their 'A' players. Yankees not so much.
The Yankees and free agent left-hander Ryan Yarbrough have agreed to a major league contract. Yarbrough will start the season in the Yankee bullpen as a lefty reliever.
Yankees and Mets play 6-6 tie. Another non roster Yankee reliever gives up 3 runs in ninth for the tie.
Stroman struggled 2 runs 5 hits and 2 walks. Reyes and Jones solo home runs.

Only Rice missing. With Rice in as DH, Grisham is out, Bellinger moves to CF and Judge is in RF. There will be other variations depending on various factors.
Yanks go down 4-2 in final spring training game. Bad, Warren went 3 2/3 innings allowing all Marlin runs and hits. Lineup did nothing except for Bellinger with two hits, one a solo HR. Good, five guys out of the bullpen went 4 1/3 innings allowing just one walk.
Spring training is over. First Yankee regular season game is scheduled for 3PM Thursday March 27th. Carlos Rodon is the announced starting pitcher. 162 games to make the playoffs.
This is a PSA (Public Service Announcement)
The democrat party has been taken over. It no longer exists in its original form or beliefs. The old democrat party is now best defined as the domonrat party. The demonrats are disgusting, despicable, scum, whose goals are lies, discord, destruction of America and the people of America.
The demonrats must be eliminated, ignored, and never be voted for by anyone, ever again.
YOU have been warned.
I don't know how many of you noticed this Yankee this spring. In my opinion he quietly excelled and played all spring including today's final game. Here he is.
Ismael Munguia. He isn't a slugger, but what he lacks in raw power, he makes up for with elite bat-to-ball skills.
Last season in the minors, he played 93 games and posted a .286/.387/.418 slash line while striking out just 9.9% of the time. This spring, he was even better, hitting .390/.419/.512 across 19 games with just two strikeouts. That’s a minuscule 4.7% strikeout rate. He will be ready when the phone rings.
Dean Koonce, you are so right. The old democrat party is dead, and the demonrats have killed it, using their name to cover-up their radical left-wing liberal progressive deadly ideology of destruction and despair.
Season opener is a day away. Using the WIN METHOD, play one game at a time, one series at a time, and win more of each than you lose. Lets go Yankees.
Off day today. Play start for real tomorrow. Lets go Yankees.
Whoever came up with demoncrat gets a pat on the back from me. Demoncrat is synonymous with criminal.

Hope Rodon doesn't get to hyped up. Stay calm, throw strikes, and dominate for six innings and earn the win tomorrow.

Best lineup in a long time. Let get off to a good start.
Produce when it matters most is what wins games. Any combination of any players on the team can produce when it matters most to win any game. Win the most games during the regular season and you can qualify for the post season.
Rodon, first inning, first batter, 3 strikes for the K - no emotion from Rodon, perfect. Second batter a ground ball that Jazz fields on outfield grass to throw out runner - Torres doesn't make that play. Third batter infield popup to first baseman. Rodon leaves mound with no emotion. Great start.
Wells leads off with HOME RUN.
Volpe second inning HR. 2-0 Yankees thru 2 innings.
Yankees up 2-0 after 2.
Yanks up 2-1 after 4.
Rodon goes 5 1/3 strong innings allowing one run and leave game with Yanks up 2-1.
Yanks up 2-1 after 6.
Yanks up 2-1 mid sixth and it's a bullpen game now.
Yanks bottom of 7th, Judge rbi double when it matters for 3-1 lead, Bellinger rbi sacfly when it matters for 4-1 lead.
Final. Yanks win 4-2. Solo HR from Wells and Volpe. rbi double from Judge and sacrifice fly from Bellinger for all the Yankee runs. Rodon does his job giving up 1 run in 5 1/3 innings for the win. Hill 2/3 inning, Leiter 1 inning, Weaver 1 inning, all shutout innings each get a hold. Williams (a new version of Clay Holmes?) allows 1 run in 9th, was a hit away from a tie game, threw over 40 pitches, but escaped disaster for the save.
Yanks win 4-2. Nail biter ninth inning, but we Yankee fans are use to that. Maybe Williams was nervous and felt pressure in his first Yankee appearance and in Yankee Stadium with a full house. He did get through it and the Yankees won.
Won opener, off day tomorrow, Fried starts Saturday and Stroman Sunday.
The win yesterday was what I wanted, but the greatest takeaway I got from the game was Rodon, in particular, his demeanor and stature he showed throughout his five plus innings, calm, cool, and collected. More of that from him will go a long way for him to be a leader of this team.
I understand why there is no game today, however I would rather be playing today than have the day off.
This has been long day waiting for game two. Scheduling is not based for the fan but based on dollars from sponsors. The all-mighty dollar corrupts.
Lets go Yankees

Boone has a lot of quality flexibility with this years roster and no prima donna to cater to.
Fried takes command, the bats hit when it counts equals a win.
Once in a while game. After three innings, Yanks up 13-3 with 7 (SEVEN) home runs.
I can't keep up with the runs scored and home runs hit today. 20-6 after seven innings.
Yankee HR's today Goldschmidt, Bellinger, Wells, Volpe, Chisholm, Peraza, Judge 3 = 9.
Yankee RBI's today Goldschmidt 1, Chisholm 1, Wells 1, Peraza 2, Volpe 3, Bellinger 4, Judge 8 = 20. Final score 20-9. Fried only went 4 2/3 innings giving up 6 runs and did not earn the win. Carrasco gave up 3 runs in 2 innings relief. Gomez got the win going 1 1/3 innings allowing just 1 hit. Headrick went 1 inning with 2 K's.
A true laugher from start to finish. 20-9 Yankee romp.
Nellie Muntz, you are a brain-dead dweeb. And dumb as rock too.
First series win is in the bag, playing for the series sweep tomorrow.
We will see what "I am a starter" Marcus Stroman has today. Put up or shut up. Just do it.

No holes in lineup anymore. Todays watch is what will Stroman give the team? If he keeps us close for five innings, that will be acceptable. No matter how he does, the Yankees need Schmidt back as soon as possible and produce like he should as the number three starter.
Guy Padikian, then Gil comes back and becomes the three starter, Schmidt to four, and if Warren can put it all together, he become number five, with Stroman going back to six.
Judge two run home in first for 2-1 Yankee lead.
Rice HR in 2nd gives Yanks 3-1 lead.
Yanks up 3-1 after 2.
Brewers intentionally walk Judge with 2 outs and no one on in 3rd inning, the Jazz follows with a 2 run Ballantyne blast for a 5-1 lead.
The when it matters most brilliance of WIN METHOD baseball. Judge walk, Jazz single, Volpe deep fly ball to deep center allowing both runners to advance, Judge scores on wild pitch and Jazz moves to third, Wells grounds out as Jazz scores. Bottom line = one walk, one single, deep fly out, wild pitch, ground out makes for 2 runs, 1 hit, plus 2 productive outs. WIN METHOD baseball rules.
FINAL. Yanks win 12-3, sweep series, most runs Yankees have every scored in first three games in their history.
