LOL
I agreed with your observations during the game thread by the way. I would have said something but it seemed like you were having fun and I didn’t want to intrude! ;-)
Don't shoot, I'm a man.
Nah, its okay
I was totally wrong. Listen to saber guys, they know everything. I have never seen any of them bend even a little bit, I dont expect them to now,lol.

I just wonder why all the useless stats are still being used
I mean saber is where its at, why isnt everything being updated with this stuff?
by YankeesJets on Jul 20, 2010 10:56 PM EDT up reply actions
Regualr stats are not useless
Sabr just tells us more about the game then conventional stats. It’s does not make other stats useless, it’s just better in sight on how players are preforming besides just AVG. and stuff
So why not use those stats instead?
Stats like AVG dont tell the story, so why use them? I watch all kinds of games on Extra Innings, and I still havent heard any of these stats used on any broadcast, why not?
by YankeesJets on Jul 20, 2010 10:59 PM EDT up reply actions
Because a lot of broadcasters aren't up on these kinds of stats?
Did you know Joe Morgan thinks Cano will win a batting title one day?
Why not? They are the be all and end all of the game now, right?
These guys are being paid to convey what the game is today, it seems they arent doing that. The game is all about saber now, isnt it?

Because they’re talking to a mainstream audience.

So the mainstream audience doesn't deserve to be told the correct stats?
I mean if they knew all about some of these stats, they might feel different about a player. Thanks to saber, I know that Joba is just unlucky, kind of like me that night at the casino playing blackjack. Even though I was down $800, it wasnt that I played bad, I was just unlucky.

Yeah, and if you double down with eleven, and get an ace, you shouldn’t think about a long term strategy, you should just punch the dealer in the face and blame sabermetrics.

Did you know Joe Morgan thinks Cano will win a batting title one day?
lol, I hate the UZR statistic
I say he’s been great in the field due to what I’ve seen in while watching games. I guess we’ll be able to judge his season after it’s over. We’ll have to wait and see.
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
Well that sucked
Not much else to say. 5 questions came from this game to me.
Why couldn’t we hit that scrub?
When will Gaudin and CHOP be DFA’d?
Can Albaladejo keep up what he did today?
Why does Hughes seem to struggle so much at Yankee Stadium?
And what would Cervelli have done in that AB directly after the Girardi ejection?
Anyone have answers to these questions? I’m sure Cervelli would have crushed it so far that they’d count it as a 5 run homer instead of solo, but thats just me.
And seriously, get CHOP and Gaudin off this team and get real relievers.
"I'm looking at 600 as first base. I want to run right through it and use it as a platform and a spring board for more to come"- Alex Rodriguez
Didn't see the game.
Alby looked good? His line didn’t so the question as to whether he can keep up what he did today is a bit baffling.
Don't shoot, I'm a man.
I agree, he wasnt the doiminator I thought he was suppose to be
Maybe some saber stats can make the outing look better
by YankeesJets on Jul 20, 2010 10:53 PM EDT up reply actions
he didn't give up runs
with the way the bullpens been pitching recently, thats good enough for me.
"I'm looking at 600 as first base. I want to run right through it and use it as a platform and a spring board for more to come"- Alex Rodriguez
He left with a baserunner on
and Chan Ho Park promptly gave up a 2 run HR. His responsibility and his run. I still think he didn’t look as bad as he could have.
"I'm looking at 600 as first base. I want to run right through it and use it as a platform and a spring board for more to come"- Alex Rodriguez
a walk and 2 hits is better than
giving up actual runs, true. But a walk and 2 hits for a reliever still isn’t good.
this is true
just one game though. He’s not expected to be a lights out late game reliever. If he becomes that, it’s lightning in a bottle. He’s supposed to be a solid reliever who can come in and get the job done, and not blow the lead so the ability of coming back is gone (CHOP and/or Gaudin).
I actually don’t think he’ll be that bad. I don’t think he’ll be excellent, but he won’t be awful.
And one of those hits should have been caught by Swish in right, so it really should be 1 hit and 1 run.
"I'm looking at 600 as first base. I want to run right through it and use it as a platform and a spring board for more to come"- Alex Rodriguez
So when Cash tells Alba he been promoted
He tells him we dont expect much, just try and be solid?
by YankeesJets on Jul 20, 2010 11:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Thats not really a question I can answer lol
Thats what I’M hoping from Alba. I don’t know what the Yanks want from him. But do you really think they’ll plug him into a big role right away based on excellent stats at AAA? the majors are a whole different animal.
"I'm looking at 600 as first base. I want to run right through it and use it as a platform and a spring board for more to come"- Alex Rodriguez
Other teams do that at times but I think the Yanks will work him in
Alba has always seemed better in pressure situations to me. I hope he is better than what we have been getting.
by YankeesJets on Jul 20, 2010 11:11 PM EDT up reply actions
yea me too
they’ll need it with this bullpen.
"I'm looking at 600 as first base. I want to run right through it and use it as a platform and a spring board for more to come"- Alex Rodriguez
i understand
but I think there’s a reason Girardi was warming him up when it looked like the game was out of hand. I liked the fact that he only gave up 2 hits and a walk in 1.2 innings with one K, but it seemed more like a “let’s just throw him in there to see what he can do against MLB hitters.”
The Yankees are in a bind right now with the bullpen not being reliable, and knowing who to really trust other than Robertson from the other night. My thought was that Alby was the white flag long before Park or Gaudin were brought in. You bring Alby in to pitch when the Yankees have a 5+ run lead if you want to see what he can do, not when you’re still in the middle innings with a 5 run deficit. This is all just my opinion. I’d rather bring Alby in with a big lead to see how he handles the hitters (with some breathing room to make a mistake and recover) than bring him in when we’re down and now he has to be lights out because then the game will be further out of reach.
I don't think he was the white flag
wasn’t it 4-2 when he was brought in?
"I'm looking at 600 as first base. I want to run right through it and use it as a platform and a spring board for more to come"- Alex Rodriguez
i'm honestly
surprised they let Hughes pitch past the 4th inning with the number of pitches he was throwing. I think Sterling said he was at 70 pitches with 1 out in the 4th or something like that. The quick 5th inning is the only thing that got him into the 6th.
Hughes just didn't have it
which makes it 4 starters in a row who didn’t have their good stuff.
Hopefully they get something good out of Vasquez tomorrow.
"I'm looking at 600 as first base. I want to run right through it and use it as a platform and a spring board for more to come"- Alex Rodriguez
Compared to some of the dead weight we have in the pen, Alba looked fine
Only one game though. CHOP of course had to make sure Alba had a big ERA, kind of like a “Welcome to the Pen”, lol

Depends what you mean by domination
If Javy gets thru 6 giving up less than 4 runs it will be the best start we’ve seen in almost a week which will be relative domination at least.
Don't worry everyone!
This is a small bump in the road that is to the 28th championship for the New York Yankees!

Having good teams doesn’t make him a good manager.
Personally, I think Joe Torre was one of the worst in game managers I’ve ever seen, and look at how much the Yankees won because they had great talent.
What does a manager do? Manage the bullpen? Call for an occasional hit and run?
All managers get way too much credit for success and way too much blame for failure. They’re effect on any given game is ridiculously small.

There are some guys that are just terrible though. Its not just about managing in the game though. As I’m a bit older, I remember some of the managers that came before Torre.

Did you know Joe Morgan thinks Cano will win a batting title one day?
no love for Torre?
he’s an NL style manager, which AL teams may not be very fond of. I agree he’s not the best in-game manager. But he’s the best in the league at managing men in the clubhouse, and that can take you a long way as a team. Joe made the 2004, 2005, and 2007 Yankees teams overachieve despite having guys like Sheffield, Pavano, Kevin Brown, Kenny Lofton, and Tony Womack on the team. I think he definitely did something right.
"I'm looking at 600 as first base. I want to run right through it and use it as a platform and a spring board for more to come"- Alex Rodriguez
Okay Torre may claim to have been an "NL style manager"
But other than the first half of the 1996 season he wasn’t. His teams routinely hit 200+ homers a year and the sacrifice was more and more unused the longer he managed (not necessarily a bad thing).

How could that possibly take pressure OFF of A-Rod? It’s just a massive show of no confidence that of course the media is going to read into and put a ton more pressure on him.

I don't think that one incident
Is strong enough evidence to say Torre wasn’t that good of an ego manager. A-Rod managed to come back the next year with a monster season and they didn’t hate each other so it obviously wasn’t THAT big of a deal.
Did you know Joe Morgan thinks Cano will win a batting title one day?
I always got the impression that Joe had his guys like Jeter, Mo, etc. whom he would run through a wall, and other guys like A-Rod with whom he would deliberately hang out to dry.
Add that to the fact that he couldn’t manage a bullpen to save himself, and would always leave guys in way too long, and I really wasn’t sorry that we moved on from Torre. But, as I’ve stated above, it’s not like this team is really that much different with Girardi.

by YankeesJets on Jul 20, 2010 11:35 PM EDT up reply actions
OK I see what you mean
my point was, he constantly got teams that had no business in the postseason and managed to get them there. He got players to overachieve and mange to win (in the regular season anyway). The manager isn’t as important in baseball like it is in football or basketball but he can still help you or hurt you, and with 12 straight playoff appearances I think Torre did something right.
"I'm looking at 600 as first base. I want to run right through it and use it as a platform and a spring board for more to come"- Alex Rodriguez
I do think Torre was good for the team.
They needed someone who could handle the media (and the Boss) as smoothly as he did and manage all those egos. Torre excelled at that. Bullpen management, not so much, especially in the later years. Poor Proctor/Gordon/Sturtze/Quantrill/etc
Did you know Joe Morgan thinks Cano will win a batting title one day?
Quantrill and Gordon wasn't bad either
those two and Mo were Torre’s 7-8-9 combo and it worked most of the year. He just overused it so much that it fell apart in the postseason.
If there’s one area Girardi is better than Torre in it’s managing the pen.

agreed
Torre has his own playoff streak still in tact- 14 consecutive years I think. Thats impressive.
I do think it’s possible the Yanks make the playoffs in 2008 with Torre. We’ll never know though. And i can hardly complain about Joey G after a WS Championship.

Yep, he's reached his highest level of potential.
So he’s a journeyman. That’s the definition I heard from SS anyway.
Did you know Joe Morgan thinks Cano will win a batting title one day?
Thats what I mean though
Not the players, the team of scouts and coaches. Albert wasnt some great spect, the Cards got him late and the scouts need to get credit for that.

when you’re managing complete overrated morons like Zambrano and Milton Bradley there isn’t much you can do.
Whats Pinella going to do when Milton Bradley forgets the number of outs and throws the ball into the stands with the bases loaded? Nothing you can really do there as a manager.

Its one thing to be biased but this guy is obviously bitter he wasnt brought back by the Yankees to broadcast their games. I hate the PC world we have become but there is no reason this guy shouldn’t at least be suspended.

When everybody was saying how smart Cash was not to bring back Hideki or Damon because they have struggled. They still wouldve brought more to the table than NJ has this season.

he wasnt in the line up when joe got tossed

Alright, I can see Granderson is a very dividing subject
Let’s talk about a very uncontroversial subject. How about, Joba’s future?
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
He's gonna bat .195 with 2 home runs the rest of the year
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
Granderson, of course
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
that was a typo
.095 is what I meant
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
dammit I'm just not very good at this typing thing:
.0095 is what I really meant
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
.235 15HRs 15SBs
You know what sucks, besides Grandy’s numbers? His bad year will be blamed on his injury.
If he actually ends up with that then I'll just say it was a bad year for him
Even if the average stays at .235 the HRs and SBs will be higher than simply double his stats because there will be more time
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
I don’t understand why he gets a free pass from criticism and some here try to bash AJax. That dude was thrown into CF, batting leadoff for a first place team and yet these guys still want to belittle him.
as I said above
I admit, he’s been awful as a whole. But I’m still saying that he’ll be worth it in the end.
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
What are we gonna do? DFA him?
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
if he's done then why would anyone want him?
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
Grandy still has an affordable deal and can play CF
Someone will take him and hope he has a rebirth.
I honestly doubt the Yankees trade him
If he has a bad year this time around they’ll probably give him another shot.
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
If they can shift Gardner to CF
And they can go upgrade to Werth or Crawford, why wouldnt they? If you take away NJ’s money coming off and Grandys money from next year, it makes sense.
I think it all depends on Pettitte
If he is retiring, which I hope he doesnt, they will go get Lee with his money. If he stays, they could bring back Javy and keep the staff as is, which isnt bad.
Grandy is with the team like whether you like it or not
suck it up and grow up. I’m starting to get annoyed and losing patience. Everyone here has tried to explain nicely why Grandy won;t be this bad forever and yet you can;t seem to get it through your head. I’m sorry but sometimes your stubbornness is irritating
Yours is even worse
Defending a guy who has stunk. It isnt May anymore, August is right around the block and you are using saber to try and defend a guy who is almost always an automatic out. You need to grow up.
I wouldn't be so sure
If they want to go after Werth or another good OF’er this off season, they could put Gardy in Center and pick up a decent pitcher for the deal I mentioned above
Look, I'm just treating this like Tex's slow start (before he finally got it together)
The numbers are awful. Check.
Has looked completely lost while at-bat. Check.
Has shown a couple hot streaks but are short lived followed by long slumps. Check.
I’m just saying he’ll snap out of it. I’m not saying he’s been good, he’s been awful, I’m just saying I doubt it ends this way.
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
I'm not so sure
I actually like Grandy, always have, but I think we’re going to get what we’ve gotten thus far. Sad.
Grandy is not Tex
As much as I would love for Grandy to heat up, I’m not expecting much. He is not that kind of player, he cant hit lefties and K’s way too much. He doesnt even have the pressure of the 3 hole that Tex has.
you're right, he is not Tex, I have no reason to believe that he'll snap out of it, I just think that he will
Who cares, he’s gonna be our starting CF for this year at least, none of us have any say in this, well just see where it ends up.
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
To be honest,
Jeter’s my biggest concern right now. He’s been slumping badly for quite a while now. We all know, as Jeter goes, so go the Yanks.
I doubt it, if he has a bad year we can still win it all.
I doubt he finishes this badly, but it doesn’t sink the team.
I am beginning to worry a bit as well, I’m afraid.
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
Maybe Jeter is having contract concerns,lol
I dunno how they are going to give him another 4 years at a 100 million. He isnt going to remain this bad but he is not worth 25 Million a year. At least I dont think Jeter would keep playing if his skills eroded.
I doubt Jeter demands nearly that much.
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
You think Jeter is going to take 10 to 15?
I dont, and he shouldnt. He can get 2 years 40 for sure from the Yanks.
that was a typo
.095 is what I meant
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
it's caused by Grandy's hollow bat I guess
"We're only going to score 17 points?" - Tom Brady
"Well played, Mauer." - Guy from PS3 commercials
set up for a long time
unless we trade him for BAHD’S AHM!!!

it's 4 am and i'm i can't sleep so i just checked in on the thread but jesus this thread is just full of Grandy bashing
blah blah he;s not hitting jesus christ get over it. He is not a .230 hitter. Why is everyone on his f——ing case. Seriously we’ve gone over why he;s not going to hit .230 forever about every time the Yankees lose. There are posts written about it a million time. Yet people can;t accept the idea that he can and will improve, like they can;t accept the fact Ajax will regress and saying that isn;t bashing Ajax…just telling the truth.Grandy always seems to be thrown under a bus when the team loses cuz he’s the only reason we lose right? Also i hate the fact people hate stuff that are new and claiming it’s invalidity because its new. Since new stuff is scary to learn and we rather keep believing the old facts like the world is flat. I’m seriously going to lose it if i see another Grandy post b/c the guy is with the team for long no matter what, SO LIVE WITH IT. Jeter has been BAD (yes i’ll admit it) this year but we give him all the benefit of the doubt while the new guy gets none.
You are turning this around making it about AJax
I never once said we needed to keep AJax. I do find it funny that everything the saber guys keep saying about AJax being lucky and Grandy being unlucky, they keep on proving that you guys are wrong so far. Saying Grandy should have the same benefits as Jeter makes you look like a tool. What the heck has Grandy ever done for the Yanks? I root for the guy and hope he proves me wrong. I went through these same arguments with the saber crew when NJ was signed, guess you guys aren’t going to admit that was a mistake too? Ha, Matsui has more HRs than Grandy this year…..at Yankee Stadium, sad.
can't beleive you're still on this after a win
we say Ajax will regress and he has …it;s not making about ajax to compare the guys since they are having opposite seasons and just happened to be traded for each other. And we say Grandy will get better because he has the talent to. (with the numbers to back it up). Ppl said NJ will have a great OBP. which he has and if he had not gotten hurt..who knows? Saber didn’t say he will stay healthy since that impossible to tell. i’m annoyed because we address the grandy issue basically every time the team loses or the guy has a bad game. we get it he’s not hitting but its not fair to single him out in a loss. I’m just saying chill a bit and just let him play it out for the rest of the season and don’t get all riled up after one game. It’s almost like YI bashing tex after every game he doesn’t hit. Even the fact you say you support him but then throw him under a bus and say to get rid of him at the same time is contradicting. Look i don’t want to argue but give the guy a chance to turn it around. Remember in 2008 Cano hit .217 thru june (same amount of Ab as grandy so far) and he got hot towards the end and Grandy can do the same. We can throw him under the bus after he fails to hit the walk off hr in game 7 of the postseason (i’m kidding obviously)
I just got on and saw your response
It’s not that I am “still on this”, all I ask is for someone to admit that regardless of what saber thinks will happen, that Grandy has been a disappointment. I haven’t bashed anybody but NJ this year. Not Joba, not Javy, not even Grandy. I dont consider speaking the truth about Grandy, to be bashing. Just admit he hasn’t been great, that is all I’m looking for. You would be stunned if Grandy was traded away in the offseason?
has he been a dissapointment so far? yes
but things are pointing to him improving later on. i would be stunned if we traded him because we gave prospects for him and well he still has a great upside. Also i hope we can but this behind us and continue to root for Grandy and the rest of the Yanks!
Of course, I'm not trying to fight with fellow Yankees fans
I hope he heats up like Tex has in July because we could sure use him. Personally I hope he is saving his best for the playoffs,lol
