I don’t necessarily think Rizzo will opt out of his deal. Aging 1Bs tend to not get big contracts and I think Rizzo’s current deal is fair enough. Also I love him and I want him to be a Yankee until his career is over

the Yanks had a league average K rate as a team this year, which was an improvement over years past.

I don’t necessarily think Cashman should be canned, but this organization does need a new set of eyes on it. It’s rather obvious that there’s some flaw in the team’s self-evaluation process because it doesn’t take a genius to realize that a high OBP, lefty-centered offense is going to score a ton of runs and make a pitcher’s life hell.

The righty heavy offenses of the Judge epoch have done well in the regular season because you’re not facing the best teams’ best pitchers every single night. They falter in the playoffs because there’s always a “lane” for one type of pitcher and pitch combination to eat innings and limit scoring.

The organization’s mandate for getting to the playoffs and letting things run their course isn’t bad on its face but the upper levels do need to do a better job of making sure the players have the advanced data in a digestible form and putting the right type of player on the roster. Too many mistakes have been made in trying to make up for the fact that prospects haven’t finished their development in the majors.

Fire Aaron Boone tho. Sick of that dumbass

Back in the day when I had a podcast, he reached out to my partner in that endeavor and I told my bro he was a lying huckster. He’s well known in NY sports circles on twitter as being a hack

Listen we all know this thread is for the sickos and perverts who would watch Royals-DBacks on a random Tuesday afternoon, might as well embrace the balanced schedule and the weird poo poo it’ll bring

Also, don’t forget that this year the bigger bags and limited pickoffs are coming. Might see stealing come back
