"yelling" is when you link a post and make a point about individual players not being solely responsible for W/L. I'm sorry you can't discern the difference, but your prior opinion explains the lack of critical thinking.

glad to educate the non ball knowers

That's a nonsensical opinion that only someone who thinks Devers mere presence was deflating the team could hold. Devers was not responsible for the pitching, which is what carried the team post-ASB.

Giolito was #notgood. Nearly a full run difference between his ERA/FIP, 1.5 run difference between his ERA/xERA, .5 run difference between his FIP/xFIP. Blue everywhere on his savant page. He was a pitcher that HEAVILY relied on his defense and was bailed out a ton.Yanks most likely tee off on him
October 6, 2025 at 8:53 PM
He was not on the playoff roster, idk where you got that from. He came in to pitch a meaningless sept. game. Good story due to his start i guess.
October 6, 2025 at 8:48 PM
Giolito starting g2 would've been as much of a disaster as Bello's start if not more. He had no control and was throwing 92mph meatballs in september. just look at his savant page and fangraphs.
October 6, 2025 at 8:47 PM
The de leon game was meaningless, they had already clinched. G2 was tied 2-2 in the 5th, the Duran drop made it 3-2 yankees when it should've remained tied. Story hits a solo hr to make it 3-3, when it should've been 3-2 Red Sox. Yanks score 1 in 8th to make it 4-3 when it should've been 3-3.

net +8 from last year is really not much when Rafaela 22frv and Narvaez 12frv are hard carrying that number. Bregman was pretty much avg at 3B (+1 drs, 3 oaa, - arm) which is disappointing given his reputation and contract.
October 6, 2025 at 8:33 PM
the trade defenders have gone from "Harrison is the real prize, ace potential!" to "He could still be a 3!!!" in a couple short months lmao
October 6, 2025 at 8:27 PM
How can you say it's a good deal when 1. They got negative value in return (-WAR/hicks contract is an albatross) 2. Are looking for a power bat now 3. possibly lose the 3B that wanted to replace Devers with

Signing someone like Alonso for probably more AAV than Devers is a foolish move
October 6, 2025 at 8:26 PM
Because it didn't impact bullpen usage? What did impact the bullpen was Crochet going 8+ (positive impact) and Bello only going 28 pitches in G2. Early was better than anything Giolito/fitts/dobbins/houck would've done. Whitlock going more than 1ip was because of a healthy starter underperforming
October 6, 2025 at 8:23 PM
Jose de Leon was just brought in to pitch the last game of the season after the team already clinched, pretty pointless to pretend like that mattered. Also the Sox did score immediately on a Story HR that tied the game instead of go-ahead.
October 6, 2025 at 8:20 PM
Except in that hypothetical, that run would've only tied the game, instead we went down 1. Ironically, Sogard and Eaton were 2 of the better players in the series, especially Sogard. Who is the 0-9, 7era AAA guy you're talking about?
October 6, 2025 at 8:06 PM
The "when you look at the remaining playoff teams, they can hit home runs so we need some power" is just incredibly tone deaf after the mid-season debacle.

avg retort from someone who doesn't know ball
October 6, 2025 at 7:52 PM
Blind optimism is not a solution
October 6, 2025 at 7:52 PM
"no way to win the series" the series was basically won if Duran could hold onto the ball lmfao
October 6, 2025 at 7:50 PM
explain how Giolito/Houck/Fitts/Dobbins would've helped? Have you looked at their underlying metrics?
October 6, 2025 at 7:49 PM
Who cares about radio talk? you are just using that as a cudgel against a fan who isn't happy about losing the yankees
October 6, 2025 at 7:47 PM
clearly. "toxic for years" and yet no evidence of this. played 163 games this year, even through injury. Vlad is being paid 1.5x for similar production, that's what the market does. How did Devers affect either the Giants or Red Sox pitching? Look at the # of quality starts

no they wouldn't? If they won 95 games they would've won the division

Trout and Ohtani must not be worth it since they were on the Angels and never made the playoffs once!

Damn, thanks for the insight as always

Stats where do you see Campbell fitting in this lineup for next year? Do they try him at 2B again or are they deadset on trying to make him a 1B?
