Yea exactly. They are also still hung up on the cheating and think they are owed a World Series. Like I've said before they had the same record as the Braves right before the trade deadline. The Braves made the necessary adjustments and won the World Series, but while the Yankees made a couple trades but still ignored problems like Sanchez and while it did create an improvement in the win column the lack of fixing the major issues caused them to lose home field in the wildcard game. So then this off season they decide to finally fire some people get rid of Sanchez and even though they did all that the same problems seem to exist. What this tells me is Maize is right the ownership is likely the main problem. This many player and coach changed should be showing some improvement but nothing is changing. That's a bigger problem than just Boone's weird lineups. As I said this morning Jack Curry knows the ins and outs of this team really well as he knew Rizzo was siting hours and hours before the lineup was decided. Curry obviously has a decent amount of connections to their internal talk to know how the team operates and from what he says it sounds like higher management has this like layout of the rest schedules and how they want the players to be treated. They should really stay out of that stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I totally get the load management/rest schedules, but for fuck sake they don't need to be so religious to it. I'm as into analytics as you can get, but you just cannot be so regimented to it that it creates an unrealistic blueprint for human beings and their bodies that alter the plan. If a guy is feeling good, let him go another day or two before getting the off-day. Kay mentions it all the time now, the FO just does not believe in "hot" and will rest a guy no matter what. While I appreciate the sentiment, that is just not the way it should be done. It's okay to deviate from a plan a bit, while still adhering to the principles. To me, Cashman has done a great job grasping new trends in baseball, whether it's scouting, analytics, development, but the implementation of all three has been subpar. That's pretty dead on.

I assumed they thought they had a lot of great players in the minor leagues and that is why they were doing nothing to fix the problems with free agency or trades. My mistake. We need a bunch more people who can hit .250 IMHO. Not one or two although one or two would be a nice start. I don't really care what the mean of baseball is. I care what the mean of the top 4 teams is because they are the teams we need to defeat to win a WS.  Also I think its reasonable that when you spend the third most in the majors you are well above the median or mean. Well both. By the way unless the 16th team is at the league average, which I doubt, I think you mean we are pretty close to the median not the mean.  Totally made up example. Team a .310 [uses lots of drugs or the copywrited Houston performance system] Team b .290 Team c .285 Team d .275 Team e .275 The median is .285 the mean is .275 and the mode is fun. |

If you read things with glasses you see I proved last week no team has hit over .294 in the last new millennium. That team didn't even make the playoffs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Even though there are a couple of teams that are batting .280-.290 this far, the sample remains incredibly small. The Yankees .229 is also still minuscule in the over all season picture. Moaning about small samples means only we’ve stumbled out of the gate. I doesn’t mean the team will hit that way all season… |

I doesn’t mean the team will hit that way all season… It means you can't comment until the season is a lot further along. Should we all come back in two months.  You can easily have a sample of ten games it predict the whole season. Sometimes small samples turn out to predict a population. Once you have 30 of anything the central limit kicks in, although threats to external validity are still issues and the error range is large in theory. |

If my theory of reality is wrong, why is it that the Yankees (who clearly reject it) perform so poorly in rejecting it.
Not bein in a ws in a decade when you consistently spend among the most of all teams suggests that our model of play off success is not working well. When you are as bad as we were last year, and little suggests we have gotten noticeably better, maybe you need to rethink your logic.
Or not. Maybe continuing to emphasize home runs and walks rather than batting average and team speed on offense will work out eventually.

Maybe continuing to emphasize home runs and walks rather than batting average and team speed on offense will work out eventually. You might be surprised to know that I strongly dislike the roster construction and the line up construction, Russ. One for instance, I would have definitely led the game off with Tim Locastro yesterday. Although his MLB experience isn’t a large body of work, he does have over 500 PA with an OBP of .360-something. Once in base, he’s a threat to steal and even better once the ball is put into play while he’s on base. In fact, I also would not have pinch hit for him in the 7th (or was it 8th?) when we needed runners on base is lieu of praying for a home run. Thanks for making the game-saving (at the time) catch. Now have a seat while we don’t allow you and opportunity to help us get the first run of the game… I want speed. I’d like a bat-handler batting second and I’d like him to be at least a capable base runner. I want a free-Swinging high average hitter (though with at least moderate power) to bat third. Judge would be my ideal #4 hitter and Stanton would be fine at #5. Locastro and DJ could be my 1-2. Rizzo could be 3rd. Donaldson probably belongs at #6 at this point in his career, and since he’s here I’d live with a lottery ticket of Gallo batting seventh, and that would likely put the catcher in the #8 slot and Kiner Falefa at 9. No. Hicks is not in the starting line up. There may also be a case for Kiner Falefa batting #2 and DJ third pushing Rizzo into 6 or 7 in a platoon swap with Donaldson. That’s if we had no roster changes available. I don’t care for these mechanical-computer generated like line ups. Speed is the new undervalued asset. We need to run… and we don’t need Hicksie at 33 and thinking he’s only 26 because he’s played so few games… |
