I'm fine with the Montero deal cause it's only 3 years which I'm figuring is the end of our current window anywayLumpy posted:I'm probably  was that the reason the Mets did the Bobby Bonilla deferred deal was the interest on it was less than the Wilpons were earning on their investment with Bernie Madoff but I'll check that book out thanks

It also pisses me off that Cashman didn't trade the farm for an Ace is Carlos Rodon at the deadline, so I agree with everything he's saying.

bawfuls posted:mcmagic is incapable of internalizing the concept of postseason chaos. It’s all completely deterministic in his yankeebrain. If you lose it’s cause you’re a Loser who can’t Win, no other outcome was possible. Admitting otherwise would imply that the Great Yankees of his youth also got a bit lucky sometimes, instead of all being supermen with special Yankee Winner Mojo. This is bullshit. The Yankees group from 98-2002 was great in the playoffs. The Astros have owned the Yankees in the playoffs. Those aren’t coincidences. Certain people respond better to pressure filled situations than others.

glad to hear McMagic will not be whining ceaselessly when Judge signs elsewhere, as Judge is a losing loser whose WAR this season meant nothing because he's a loser who is sad he was booed in the playoffs (which he wouldn't be if he wasn't such a loser)

If Judge signs elsewhere it will simply be a three part harmony of “lol Judge is a loser”, “lol Team X signed a terrible deal”, and “lol the Yankees didn’t spend”. It’s predictable and boring and pathetic. Everyone’s a loser.

Yeah I can’t imagine them playing games or seeing a way to spin losing Judge. They played hardball with him last spring and this is the cost. Losing him now would be the sort of poo poo fans talk about for generations. But who knows? Just gotta wait and see.

Intruder posted:They're going to sell so many of those Thanks for making my point for me. They lost in 2001 on a bloop hit and 2004 on a stolen base and they won the world series in 98, 99 and 2000. Also because of the way the Yankees spend right now plus the Stanton contract, the Yankees are probably better off letting Judge walk because signing him will completely take away any flexibility they have with the roster and they aren't willing to spend enough to make up for it.

What if it turned out that the price to pay for having Jeffrey Maier helping kick-start their 1990s dynasty was that the Yankees basically had to become MLB's Sisyphus of the 21st Century?

Judge is gonna be one of those contracts that everyone simultaneously recognizes 1) is going to be an albatross at the end (where 'the end' starts is of course subject to debate) 2) one the Yankees HAVE to sign or their fans will revolt

mcmagic posted:This is bullshit. The Yankees group from 98-2002 was great in the playoffs. The Astros have owned the Yankees in the playoffs. Those aren’t coincidences. Certain people respond better to pressure filled situations than others. If your bar is "the 98-02 Yankees" then you are going to be sorely disappointed probably for the rest of your life. I was going to keep my nerd poo poo to myself because it's all very unscientific, but out of genuine curiosity to how the Astros current run fits in with "dynasty" level runs for MLB teams in the World Series era, I started creating some models. In doing so, I was reminded how insane the Yankees were between about 1996 to 2004. Obviously the Yankees from the late 1920s through the mid 1960s are the biggest dynasty the sport will likely ever have (19 WS titles in 36 seasons, averaging well over 60% win rate in the regular season, etc.), but aside from that era the late 90s Yankees are the strongest dynasty by a longshot. In fact, the ten-year run of 1996-2005 is right up there with a lot of the first-half of the century Yankee runs. If you narrow it down to a 6-year window, they are on par with a lot of the 6-year windows of the first-half century Yankees. After that, depending on which window you choose (6, 8, 10 years are what I did) it's a significant drop to the Cardinals of the 1940s (the era of Stan the Man), the Reds of the 1970s (the "Big Red Machine"), the Philly Athletics in the 19aughts to the 1910s (the era of Connie Mack and the "$100,00 infield") , the Oakland A's of the late 60s and early 70s (the "Swingin' A's" and "The Mustache Gang"), or yes even the current Astros. Just to put some of my BS numbers to it, the 90s Yankees grade out anywhere from 25 to 50% stronger than the 1940s Cardinals, which was consistently the strongest non-Yankee dynasty for each of those windows. We are unlikely to see a team put together a run like the late 90s-early aughts Yankees again in our lifetime, especially now that free agency exists and there are 30 teams. e: for my fellow Astros fans, no matter how I tweak the scoring/coefficients, this current Astros run is at least a top-10 dynasty

This is apropos of nothing but I was listening to a podcast that referenced Ser Barrold hitting a dinger on a swing that broke his bat and I had to look it up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28Xs0sNh3ZM I'll be goddamned. Real life isn't The Sand Lot and anything that breaks the bat/ball is just energy spent on that effort rather than being imparted on the ball and its crazy that he did this.

Hmmm has MLB considered the decline of youth interest in baseball corresponds exactly with the end of movies in which 12 year old boys are contrived to join and in many cases run major league baseball teams https://twitter.com/Feinsand/status/1591812834509615105 That's insanely good news and I want this guy to be the next manager of the Astros but he's gonna get poached if he doesn't get the big job soon zoux fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Nov 13, 2022 |
