@MaxMannis I'm uncomfortable assuming Gerrit Cole will be full Gerrit Cole this season. I'm hoping he will, but the track record of guys this age the 1st season off TJ surgery isn't stellar.

Interesting thought exercise that I'll come back to in a few months: As things stand right now in late March, would you currently guess that Gerrit Cole or Max Fried will be the Yankees Game 1 starter come October?

Bargain basement shopping with Goldy and Rizzo before him.. There were better options (Freeman) for more $$. Is Jazz a winning player? Was Gleyber? Developed Volpe, hoped for better it hasn't happened. Haven't had a legit 3B, LF or CF in YEARS until Bellinger last year. Lightning in a bottle with Grisham, don't expect that again. They need Rice to take another step, Wells behind the plate.. bench is better built than it has been in the past, and the organizational pitching depth is looking really good. Judge isn't getting any younger. Either is Cole. Hopefully they can figure it out.

@Kswing6 @lexiebu Say, Volpe…is that bozo even worth keeping on the roster? And is Jazz evaluated correctly? Paul Goldschmidt as your first baseman? It’s the fundamentals that matter unfortunately. Not the homers. Dodgers value the post season more. They’d have AAA guys go regular season.

@Baseballolol37 @lexiebu They haven't been willing to spend for depth, and they haven't valued intangibles enough. Money will mask a ton of ills. The Dodgers paid 3 starting pitchers last year $100+M to pitch less than 200 innings between them while ramping up for the postseason..

@Kswing6 @lexiebu I think it’s also part on how the Yankees evaluate players. Instead of looking at all rounders, the qualities seem to be “can you hit homers?” If yes, it’s a take. Only time will tell if it’s a good thing but, I’m not all for it. Fundamentals > slugging for me.

I remember seeing lineups like this (and worse, Aaron Hicks cooked LeMaheiu, Joey Gallo, Billy Mckinney, Willie Calhoun).. This is an actual 2022 ALCS lineup they ran out there. 1) Jose Trevino (C) 2)Aaron Judge (RF) 3)Anthony Rizzo (1B) 4)Giancarlo Stanton (DH) 5)Gleyber Torres (2B) 6) Josh Donaldson (3B) 7)Matt Carpenter (LF) 8)Harrison Bader (CF) 9)Oswaldo Cabrera (SS) How did that team make the ALCS?? That’s a cooked Stanton that year -0.8 WAR, Josh Donaldson totally shot.. 0.0 WAR.. Matt Carpenter 1-12, .083 OPS IN THE Playoffs.. Cabrera .206 playoff OPS.. Trevino PLAYOFF .043 OPS Ridiculously bad. You could add Ohtani to that Yankee team with Judge and they aren’t beating Houston or the Phillies if they got there.. LOL! They've done a bad job building around him. Hoping they're developing players who can help, looks to be some strong pitching prospects

@Kswing6 @lexiebu I remember the “Gerrit Cole is the best pitcher” and “top 2 2nd baseman” claims by Yankee fans. So which is it man? Can’t have it both ways. It’s either only judge and friends or it isn’t. If you say is “only judge” then please discredit the other bozos. Max Fried and Rodon too

@DanClarkSports The Yankees are the favorite in the AL for the World Series at +1000, Dodgers the favorite overall at +230. If you flipped Ohtani and Judge the Dodgers would still be a heavy favorite. Pointing at one player either way as responsible for winning or losing is absurd.

Chuck Norris held a 183-10-2 record and was a 6x world champion in full contact bare knuckle karate. On top of that, he beat heavyweight kickboxing world champion Joe Lewis 3 consecutive times and also had a brutal sparring match with undefeated kickboxing world champion, Bill Superfoot Wallace, that lasted an hour and a half. According to Wallace, they practically stalemated and "beat the crap out of each other". Chuck was trained in kickboxing/boxing by Benny The Jet Urquidez and was also trained in BJJ by the Gracies and Machados for 20 years. Even being able to submit Carlos Machado himself on occasion. Chuck had a 315 Ibs bench press at 180 lbs bodyweight and was said to have a grip back in the day that nobody could escape from because he was so strong. Even Jean Claude Van Damme said he'd never fight Chuck Norris, despite being a kickboxing world champion himself. Chuck held a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 5th degree black belt in Karate, a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a black belt in Judo. Rest in peace, Chuck!

He's a great player... it's baseball, a lot of failure for the best of them, and Ohtani is among the best of them. So is Judge. The point is it is absurd to hang winning or losing on any one player. Ohtani couldn't even sniff a playoff game in Anaheim. He's on a roster now where when he cools off, they've been able to carry him. When he's hot he can carry them. Judge hasn't had the surrounding cast to carry him when he slumps.. It is what it is.

@Kswing6 @90syankskid Those 2 games completely blowup ohtanis playoff numbers and I’ll give him credit they were 2 all time great single game performances. But outside of those games, .205/.332/.385 with a .720 ops 6 home runs 18 rbis. Just shows that there’s plenty of other guys that step up

Friendly reminder Shohei Ohtani went 2-for-19 in the 2024 World Series and it’s never been criticized. Aaron Judge went 4-for-18 in the same series and it’s still criticized every day.

@FiresideYankees That is not great to start, but have rarely felt better about the depth they have and reinforcements on the way.

@Kswing6 @90syankskid He did cost you runs. Agree to disagree. That error was costly and spiraled into a circus. Volpe’s shit throw. Cole pointing at first. Let’s agree to disagree. I’ll let it rest
