NY Yankees

You think I'm always pissed off over the Yankees and complaining about them? Check out these quotes from yesterday by ex Yankees. Fans aren't the only ones sick of this "run it back" regime.

“[Judge] was like, ‘There’s a standard that’s set here, and we didn’t meet that standard,'” Sabathia said on the Uptown Sports podcast. “No disrespect, but they don’t know what that standard is. You know why? Because there’s no one in there keeping that standard. Once Gardy left, it’s been a wrap.

“When I first came, it was Ron Guidry, Reggie Jackson, Mickey Rivers, Willie Randolph. It was not only the Core Four; it was those guys too. So you knew what the standard was, because the standard was sitting in the [expletive] room right next to you. The guys ain’t there no more.”

“If you talk to people there, Yankees fans, people on the inside – they almost think it’s insanity,” Rizzo said on his ‘Ross and Rizzo Unfiltered' podcast. “Like, we just keep on doing the same thing every year and we don’t win. That’s insanity; that’s the definition of insanity, if you think it’s going to change.”

Alex Rodriguez, in his role as a FOX analyst, suggested a change in organizational philosophy is necessary.
“If something doesn't change, you're going to have the same results,” Rodriguez said. “We've been watching the same movie for over a decade, and nothing changes. … It’s getting late.

Cashman does better work as a GM than he is given credit for....and if the Yanks were to ever part ways with him he would have a half-dozen offers from other teams immediately.....but this is part of the stagnation problem plaguing the Yanks.

A new voice has to come from somewhere.

Cashman is horrible. He's the problem, not Boone. When they talk about the Yanks needing a change in organizational philosophy, they're talking about Cashman.

Boone has his flaws, but he's no better or worse than other managers. Remember how Dave Roberts was ripped for losing in the postseason so often? Now he's a genius now that the Dodgers front office put together better teams for him to manage.

Cashman has a decades-long track record of bad trades, bad free agent signings, an inability to properly assess talent, and a penchant for putting together one-sided teams (i.e., great offense-weak pitching or great pitching-weak offense).

In no other sport, with no other team, does a GM keep his job this long. Almost 30 years now he's been GM.

The Brewers are putting on a clinic in how to play winning baseball.

I'd love to see the Brewers sweep the Rays and celebrate on the RAYS HOME FIELD.

I haven't watched a pitch since the Yankees were ousted and I don't care to but I was flipping through the channels last night and when I hit the game it was the middle of their big inning and it sounded like a Brewers home game, like when the Yankees play in Tampa but louder. Funny as ****.

That inning was a phd level thesis on how contact and hustle can rip the opposing team's heart out

These Brewers are so fun to watch play

You missed a brain fart by Kevin Cash. Took Peralta out with a 2-0 deficit and two outs, and he had only thrown about 90 pitches. Brewers then proceed to score 8 runs.

From the above article:

Cashman brought back Amed Rosario, ostensibly to hit left-handed pitching. He did not hit lefties in 2026, posting a .606 OPS against southpaws this year. He also gave Trent Grisham $22 million via the qualifying offer, despite the center fielder being one of the most obvious regression candidates on the free-agent market last offseason. Cashman also refused to upgrade the catching position after Austin Wells' disappointing 2025 campaign. The result was an even worse showing in 2026.


At the trade deadline, Cashman made two moves to "bolster" the lineup, acquiring Luis Garcia Jr. and Heliot Ramos. Garcia Jr. became a breakout star in 2026, but his presence created a logjam that required Judge to return to playing right field again, which in turn led to the strained calf that sidelined the three-time MVP for the remainder of the season. He's also responsible for acquiring and standing by Ryan McMahon, who's been one of the worst hitters in the sport for over a year and a half.

Congrats to the Brewers....they play baseball the way the game was meant to be played.

Rays tried to be too clever, by not starting Rasmussen in Game 1. That forced them into having to start him on 3 days' rest last night.
