As I said before, the Tanaka situation is VERY interesting to me. If he continues to tank the season, it's very possible he will not opt out of the rest of a guaranteed contract. If he has no structural issue with his elbow, it will be a huge gamble to give up I believe 3-4 more years after a crap season.

Hopefully, he gets it together though because if he does, it could be a fun summer in the Bronx.

I agree. Severino and Montgomery look like the answers to two of the questions about the rotation.
Now if we can only get Tanaka straightened out.

Tough loss today but, splitting 4 games with a hot Blue Jay team in their building is nothing to be upset over. Off day tomorrow then 3 with the Sox and 3 with the Orioles at the Stadium. I'll be there on Thursday night. Hopefully Tanaka can get back on track on Tuesday.

Cashman and Giardi deserve some credit for putting this team together. Loved the Torreys play last night and Pineda's performance. They're doing this without much production from either the guys on first or third and while Headley had a nice play last night, neither he nor Carter are likely to win a gold glove. My main concern is whether or not the starters can hold up for the season.

Of course.
Then again, there's a guy at AAA that might be ready....Adams.

Cashman and Girardi probably both deserve executive/manager of the year awards right now. A good chunk of fans wanted them both fired for not having a "win now" attitude. Girardi was hamstrung by poor contracts and old players. It's amazing how good he looks now with talent and youth on his side. He will be an excellent manager for the youth going forward. Cashman is one of the best execs in baseball. It's not his fault he's got to answer to people who have no clue. Fortunately, everyone is on the same page right now and the future is bright.

Just don't blow $400m on Harper. Don't need him, unless he starts pitching.

I agree that I wouldn't pick up Harper with that price tag. Kershaw is much more attractive at that number!

Yanks playing so well they have aborted their plan to bring up Chance Adams. Was looking forward to seeing him. But after winning 4 in a row, looks like Chad Green/Domingo German combo today.

That's okay. Yanks are in the middle of two weeks of games with no days off. Normally a day off means all the pitchers get bumped to a sixth day off between starts. By having Chad Green start today, Yanks artificially create that sixth day off for everyone and with the current staff having gone deep into their games, it may be more of a help than a hindrance.

Yanks have already taken this series and have to fly to the west coast after the game and play tomorrow night. So Tanaka has probably already been sent ahead and gets an extra day. We'll see if that helps him or not. Chapman back by the following Oakland A's series and Bird looks to be ready the week after that.

Not so sure if thats a plus, closer yes but you can have bird and ells. Mets without top pitcher, 51 save closer, 3rd base

Maybe that's why they're fighting it out for the basement in the sorry NLEast with Atlanta, Florida, and Philly.
BTW, if you.re gonna count the third baseman then the Yanks are without their 3rd baseman...A Rod.
Anyway, don't the mets still have four 20-game winners in their rotation in Harvey, Degrom, Matz, and Wheeler ?

KBEE, Tanaka still on pace for 20? That was funny to read.

I'm sure he'll be back on track once we get to the west coast.[cheers]
BTW, when the season started he was generally considered the Yankees only reliable starter. Now he's the weak link. But it's a long season. He'll either turn things around or go to the DL and we'll either bring up Chance Adams or trade for another starter.
It's a great time to be a Yankees fan.:cool2::cool2::cool2::cool2::cool2:

Mets season is over. They will not make the playoffs. Another wasted year with those pithchers. Clock is ticking on their window to win. Something is wrong with deGrom as well. He looks awful. Bird starting to hit at AAA. Two doubles yesterday. Our minors are so stacked it is scary as well. Fowler is a STUD.

He's fun to watch. I watching the game on the Baltimore channel and announcers even admitted that he's fun to watch.

Wait. No World Series championships since 1986.....with the greatest starting rotation since.....ever ?
You are the one that's loaded.....not the mets. Put the bottle down.
BTW, guess what place they'd be in if they played in the AL East instead of the NL Easy ?

I thought we made a deal that you wouldn't post in a Yankee related thread until the Mets got back to .500?
