    OT: New York Yankees 2020 season

    I agree that Yankees have done terrible developing starting pitching. I think that’s the biggest criticism of Cashman. He’s done great identifying positional players, but they haven’t been able to coach up pitchers like others teams.

    OT: New York Yankees 2020 season

    I did. I reread the whole article before I linked it. The article described a meeting between management and Cole where management proposed a new approach “aided by heat maps, data and video.” I think this suggests that analytics was used beyond just spin rate.

    Oh for the sake of God. It’s coaching AND analytics. Houston is heavy on analytics. Here’s a nice article describing how they made adjustments to his approach to change him from very good to elite...

    OT: 2019-20 NY Yankees Offseason "Hot Stove" Thread

    Im not saying that the Yankees won’t trade him, but I think it will be for something valuable in return. I don’t think they’ll dump him just because of his domestic violence issue like some suggested earlier in the thread.

    Football DE/OLB Elorm Lumor declares for NFL Draft

    I know that this is what a google search will tell you but this is probably wrong. My quick review of the actual studies is showing not much difference. I would not rely on science reporting in main stream press.

    this is the same organization that bought low on Chapman after his domestic issues. Im not convinced that they’d trade German over this. He’s very valuable.

    OT: ESPN's Edward Aschoff Dies at 34

    many of the most horrible cases I’ve seen are young healthy people, especially w viral pneumonia. Sure older people, immunocompromised, etc die at a higher rate across the board, but that’s not the point I’m making

    OT: ESPN's Edward Aschoff Dies at 34

    When young people die from bacterial and viral pneumonia it’s often because of their own aggressive immune response causing ARDS, etc. I’m not sure of his specific case but the statement 34 year old don’t die from pneumonia is simply not true.

    I assume until I hear he’s fired.

    I’m more fascinated to hear Hobbs.

    OT: Yankees Twins last night 1st game

    I'm willing to bet a lot of money that even if this defense continues at least one team will advance to the next round.

    OT: Official 2019 NY Yankees Season Thread

    Is that what you got out of my response? I’m not saying that he can’t get better. He’ll likely improve but who knows how much. It might be negligible. I’m sure if you tracked players who were marginal defenders by the time they get to the majors they remain marginal defenders for the most...

    He played baseball before getting to the majors. Minor league reports questioned his fielding chops.

    You’re all right! Andújar has always been well below average in the field so he’s never going to excel at third. Frazier wasn’t a defensive liability in minors, so he still has hope. He probably just needs time. Bird is done.

    OT: Official 2019 NY Yankees Season Thread

    I'm overall pro-Cashman and have liked his moves, including Encarnacion and Stanton. His ability to find good young position talent amongst other teams' garbage has been impressive and sped up this team's rebuild. However, his track record on acquiring controllable pitching has been bad (Paxton...
