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 601 – 685 of 685Stroman kept us in the game going 4 2/3 innings, but doesn't earn the win.
I would have to say the Yankee opening series for this season, has been exceptional and a lot more than any of us expected.
Next up three game series with Arizona starting tomorrow night. Warren starting.
This three game series with Arizona will be a big test.

I think the Yankees will get swept this series with Arizona.
Happy April Fools Day !!!
AAA, you got me, good one, but you better hope Dbacks don't sweep.
Deaf, dumb, blind, and ignorant,
If anyone in the United States of America does not have the ability and common sense to realize that "demonrats" liberal progressive radical left-wing politicians, judges, and donors are criminally corrupt, liars, anti-American, and are deliberately destroying America with their polices, beliefs, comments, and deeds you are deaf, dumb, blind, and ignorant.
Wake up damn it, wake up, see the light, smell the roses, and never vote for anyone that is not a conservative or republican again. Save America and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
AAA, not funny.

Oh yes, lets burn Burnes. If Warren does better than Fried and Stroman he will keep Yanks in game. Will he give us five good innings?
How can you not like this Yankee lineup. Burnes is a top pitcher, let's see how the Yankees deal with him.
Yanks down 2-1 after 3.
Yankees take 4-2 lead on Dback 2 run error.
Hill and Leiter crash and burn in 8th, giving up five runs putting Yankees in a 7-4 hole.
Yanks go down 7-5 as bullpen blows game.
Final. Yankees lose 7-5. Warren was very strong, going 4 2/3 innings allowing 2 runs on 1 hit, a 2 run HR. Left game up 4-2. Dominquez, Volpe, and Rice each with a solo HR. Cruz pitches 2 innings 6 up 6 down striking out 4. Then 8th inning, Hill in and gives up double and rbi single before getting a ground out. Leiter in, 2 walks loading the bases and blows game giving up grand slam, taking the loss. A should've, could've won game, BUT, Leiter failed big time when it mattered most.
OK WIN METHOD fans. >> If Williams is not on maternity leave, after Cruz pitched his 6th and 7th shutout innings and the Yanks go into the 8th up 4-2 as they did tonight, Hill and Leiter don't pitch, Weaver and Williams pitch the 8th and 9th and the Yankees likely win the game.
Tomorrow's another day. No team wins them all, ever in baseball
Paternity leave is an embarrassment. My wife and I produced six children and I never where present at any of their births. I was working. I was providing for the family. That was life then, but not anymore. It is sad, very sad. No matter, I hope the Williams family has a healthy child.
Rodon improves on first start, Yankee lineup puts up a couple of crooked numbers on the scoreboard and the Yankees win tonight. Easy peasy.

Have to win tonight to have a chance to win this series.
As you see every demoncrat politician lying about President Trump and what he is trying to do to save America, their made-up stories about the economy, tariffs, the economy, social security, medicare, tax cuts for the rich, etcetera, you are being made fools of by these pieces of garbage. They hate America and they think you, me, us, and we are fools and stupid. Bury these #%@^*&($^&^#. Never ever vote for anyone of them again. If you do you are brain dead and as criminal and corrupt as they are.
Today's demonrats, better known as liberals, progressives, and scum infuriate me. Every one of them are despicable liars and frauds. They all need to be wiped off the face of the earth for what they are doing to the United States of America.
President Trump at White House lawn announcing tariffs on countries all over the world. These countries rip off America with their tariffs, while America's tariffs are collecting a fraction of what other countries collect. No more, it is "LIBERTION DAY" in America. We will be collecting dollars that will make America and the American people the richest in the world.
Beware, the criminal democrats will do everything they can, via lies, physical destruction, domestic terrorism, fake stories, buying judges, and criminal behavior to prevent our country from becoming the best it can be and making the American people secure, safe, and wealthy.
We play tonite, we win tonite. Lets go Yankees !!!!
Yanks down 2-0 after first. Rodon gives up two run home run.
Yanks down 4-0 after 2.
Yankees bats feckless thru six innings, trail 4-0.
After 8 innings of nothing from the Yankee bats they score 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th on a 3 run HR from Volpe, but lose 4-3. Rodon went six innings but lost game in first two innings, allowing 2 runs in each inning. Was unhittable thereafter. Gomez went three scoreless innings out of the bullpen. Series is lost, need a win tomorrow to avoid a sweep.
Great move by President Trump. Surely shook up the world and liberal progressive demonrat America haters.
News from a demonrat bottom feeder and lowlife.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is facing accusations of hypocrisy after threatening to block Republican legislation aimed at ensuring only U.S. citizens vote in American elections.
The bill in question, Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee’s Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, would require proof of citizenship during the voter registration process. Schumer announced his intention to filibuster the bill if Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune brings it to the floor.
RESPONSE FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE -- WHY WOULDN'T ANYONE WANT NON-AMERICAN CITIZENS TO VOTE IN AMERICAN ELECTIONS ???
All I can say is "Chuck U Schumer".
Rush Limbaugh came up with names for all the democrat politicians decades ago. Shumer was one of his originals along with if I remember correctly.
Chuck "U" Shumer
"Leaky" Leahy
Dick "T"urbin
Mary "Cute Little Baby Fat" Landrieu.
Joe "plugs" Biden

We have a little juggling of lineup today. Rice at leadoff, Wells night off, Escarra catching, Judge DH, Grisham in CF, and Dominguez/Volpe flipflopped in lineup.
It's win or get swept.
Sometimes change helps, sometimes it doesn't.
Rice double to open game, Bellinger walk, Judge 3 run home run when it matters most to start the game.
Yankees with a 4 spot in first for 4-0 lead. Three on Judge HR.
9-7 Yankee win. Weaver perfect with a four out save. Carasco earned the win allowing 3 runs in 5+ innings.
Needed a win tonight and got it 9-7. Good start to season and homestand winning 4 games and losing 2. Keep it going.
Final, Yanks avoid sweep with 9-7 win. Finish six game homestand at 4-2. Carasco earned the win going 5 1/3 innings giving up 3 runs, Ottavino went 2/3 no runs, Yarborough was the disaster going 2/3 giving up 4 runs making the game close and in doubt, Leiter went 2/3 no runs, and Leiter for the save going 1 1/3 four up four down for the save. Judge 4 rbis, on a 3 run HR and rbi single. Grisham 3 rbis, on a 2 run HR and rbi double. Chisholm 2 rbi's on a 2 run HR. Off to Pittsburgh for a three game weekend series.
Not going to be a pleasant weekend in Pittsburgh weatherwise. Precipitation to some extent expected every day. All afternoon games, 4PM Friday and Saturday, 1:30PM Sunday. Tonight's game ended after 10PM, shower, eat, bus to airport, fly to Pittsburgh, bus to hotel, get a few hours sleep, have breakfast, bus to ballpark, play game a little after 4PM. All that crammed into 18 hours.
Fried earns his first win in a Yankee uniform today.

Bellinger not in lineup? Fried earns first Yankee win today? Yankee bats home runs today not in Yankee Stadium?
Bellinger because of stiff back. Boone didn't want to play him today because of the extremely short turnaround from last night.
The worm is turning. America is taking its first step in becoming great again.
If you do not support President Trump you do not support America. That makes you an imbecile. Take a long walk on a short pier.
Lets go Yankees. Wins and the WIN METHOD.
Yanks up 2-0 after 2.
OK, it is only two starts, and he's here to stay, but Fried has not overly impressed me. My impression is he think's to much. If he wins and gives quality starts, it won't matter.
Yankees lead 7-1 through 4 innings and don't have a home run. Dominguez and Cabrera batting 8th and 9th have been a wrecking ball of offense.
Yanks up 9-4 after 7.
Yankees win opening game with Pirates 9-4. Easy win.
Final. Yankees win 9-4. Fried gets first win as a Yankee with a good effort. Goes 5 2/3 allowing 2 runs on 6 hits. Cruz goes 2/3 innings giving up a meaningless 3 run HR, Hedrick goes 1 1/3 scoreless, and Williams goes a scoreless 9th. Yankees score first 7 runs without a HR, led by 3 hits from hitting star of game Cabrera with 3 hits and 4 rbi's, Dominguez 2 hits and 2 rbi's, Volpe 3 hits and rbi, and finally Judge with a 2 run HR.
Fried pitches well, lineup produces when it counts, result 9-4 wire to wire win.
Stroman starts tomorrow for Yanks if game gets played. A lot of rain forecast.
As of now it looks as if the game today will be played. Occasional showers and maybe even a ray of sunshine possible. Let's win this series today.

Boone going with his R/L lineups. Everyone hits and it works. Stroman may do well in this ballpark. A win can take series. Rain rain stay away, the Yankees wanna play.
Yanks up 1-0 after 2.
Criminal left-wing liberal judge wants Trump to bring back deported criminal illegal alien terrorist MS13 gang member to the USA. Criminals of a feather flock together.
Grisham HR for 2-0 lead in third.
Stroman crashes and burns in fourth inning giving up four runs. Yankees trail 4-2.
Yankees retake lead on a Grisham three run home run in fifth 5-4.
Yanks with a big crooked number in fifth, 6 runs for an 8-4 lead.
Yanks up 8-4 after 7.
10-4 over and out and the score of today's Yankee win.
Yanks win 10-4, clinch this series. Sweet.
Final. Yankees win 10-4. Stroman goes 4 and gives up 4 for a no decision. Bullpen, Hill, Leiter, Cruz, and Yarborough go five allowing just one hit. Leiter got the win. Offense, Grisham the star, with 2 HR's and 4 rbi's. Volpe 3 rbi's on a bags full double, Wells 2 rbi's and Goldschmidt 3 hits and an rbi. All nine hitters in the lineup either scored a run or got a rbi. Everyone got at least one hit.......How do you spell WIN METHOD.
Love seeing Volpe putting it all together so far this year.
So far, good start to the season. 6-2 is not to shabby.
The Yankees were counting a lot on the kids being productive this year and the early returns are looking great.

Playing for a sweep. Warren second start of season. No chance of a rainout.
After getting first eight outs in a row, Warren gives a walk to 9th batter, a single, a 2 rbi double, another single, then gets third out. Yanks down 2-1 after three innings.
Yankee bats floundering today for six innings. Trail 4-1 mid sixth. Three more innings.
Yankees score 3 in 9th on Peraza rbi double and Grisham 2 rbi single.
4-4 after 10. On to the 11th.
Yankees lose in 11th 5-4. Williams takes the loss.
Final. Yankees lose 5-4 in eleven innings. Pitching, Warren goes 4 innings giving up 4 runs and 6 hits. That won't cut it, however he is still a work in progress. The bullpen was almost perfect. Hedrick, Gomez, and Weaver each went two innings allowing 0 runs and 0 hits. Weaver, our closer allowed a hit in the eleventh and that lost the game. Great WIN METHOD production from three relievers. No production from the starter and closer who lost the game. Lineup. Chisholm rbi double in first inning, and from innings innings two thru eight the Yankees did nothing at all. In the ninth Peraza rbi double and Grisham 2 rbi single tie game at 4, yes, when it mattered most. In the tenth and eleventh inning the Yankees had six outs to produce when it mattered most and they lost the game.
Moving on to Detroit for a three game series M,T,W. Game times have been changed because of the frigid weather in Detroit. All afternoon games similar to those just played in Pittsburgh. Yankees named starters will be Rodon, Carasco, and Fried.
Rodon starts today. Rodon needs to step up and consistently pitch well every start. My quality start is no more than two runs for at least 5-7 innings.

Rodon pitches effectively and the lineup produces when it matters the most. That's what it take to win.
Rodon pitching a great game, but not when it matters most. Has only given up 2 hits. Those 2 hits have produced 5 runs. Yankees trail 5-1 after 5 innings.
Looks bad. Yanks in 6-1 hole after the seventh.
Final. Yankees lose 6-2. Rodon gives up all 6 runs thru six innings. No Yankee offense to speak of. Fielding and base running errors didn't help. Try again tomorrow, problem is, they will face Tiger ace.
Yanks lose opening game of series 6-2 and never really in it.
Todays loss was very depressing. I was expecting better results.
