Sometimes, a Good Samaritan is needed. Other times, a stand must be taken on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm and the words shouted to the very depths within the Mines of Moria, "You shall not pass!" I have a feeling that despite the appearance of even a thousand good samaritans, and perhaps a good beating. I still haven’t heard the last of that whining misinformed position. If I could, I would find a way to transport Russ from his bathtub to the string section of the Vienna Concerto Orchestra in an act of vengeance. But alas, he would likely not realize he was out of place at all… I believe Russ missed his calling as a beat reporter asking Cashman the exact same question each and every week, year after year after year. |

No, Russ. Inger is trying to say that - again - you are misrepresenting what he has posted many, many times. You are ascribing to Inger some sort of aversion against offense and hitting for average. That is not his position and never has been. He has explicitly said so in myriad posts over the years. Inger has a multivariate consideration of the balance of a team over a 162 game season and playoffs, concerning the interrelationships among several variables. You appear to only want to discuss one variable. Inger has discussed that single variable and several others. The Yankees won 92 games last season leading the major leagues at outs made at the plate, outs made on the bases, and arguable the worst Yankee infield defense in my lifetime. Cut the outs at the plate and outs on the bases in half and improve the infield defense by 25 percent, and that team is knocking on the door to 100 wins, even with the same underperforming offense at catcher, first, second, short, third, center, and left field. Only DH and RF performed as expected. I hope this helps. Inger has high blood pressure, please stop being contrary simply because you can. Or, practice better reading comprehension and hope there is no breakthrough technology allowing Inger to reach his hands through your monitor and near your neck. The man has enough trouble with Yankee players stealing his sombrero and golden sombrero during the season. I believe there were so many underperforming Yankees in 2021 that the odds indicate that it’s likely there will be some over performance in 2022. I’m more concerned about our starting pitching getting more length in 2022. Just 5 to 6 regular innings would be welcome for most of them. I’d love to see Nestor gain more of Boone’s trust…and Montgomery get some runs… I have yet to see any of his post that he says that batting average is highly important except in response to my statements. If some one can point to posts by inger that are not responses to mine, that he says batting average is critical, I would love to see them. I think the Yankees unperformed because they are lousy average hitters. On a team that sees nearly no value in batting average. It is totally one dimensional. It hits home runs. Period. |

If only. If only we still had access to that old cuckoo bird emoticon. It was so handy for times like these…

If you want me to make up stuff I don't believe I will. I think the primary problem with the Yankees is they can't hit to save their life. I am not sure what else to say. To me that is their primary weakness. The only weakness that concerns me.
I think its doubtful based on pass experience they will build a great team with their minor leagues. Few Yankee minor leaguers have been elite players in quite a while (there are some, just not very many and certainly not enough to build an elite team). We will have to see.
I don't think they really tried to fix their hitting woes this off season. Signing Gallo, an awful hitter with the Yankees, was the final confirmation they don't see this even as an issue.

NOETSI: I think you are at Least 80% Correct if not more, when you stated:
"...I think the Yankees unperformed because they are lousy average hitters. On a team that sees nearly no value in batting average. It is totally one dimensional. It hits home runs. Period."
I CANNOT even begin to Count how many times I have stated about the 'SWING AWAY MENTALITY' that has become a Yankee Addiction (NOT GOOD).
Crossing my fingers that this year they beat this bad Addiction and start focusing more on getting players on base & then driving them around for runs...higher .BA.
But as I review our GREAT Off-Season (Giggles) -- I doubt such.
This will/might shock folks -- but I am beginning to believe (call me Bison Breath Stupid on Mushrooms), that the Yankees MIGHT NOT even make the Play-Offs in 2022...
Which would be OK, if we were going thru a 2-3 YEAR MAJOR REBUILDING PROCESS = which we are not (MORE GIGGLES)...
Anyway, back to your Noetsi:
Tequila has awarded you the 'Killer Whale Award' (See Below--picture from this morning in our bay here) for stating the TRUTH/REALITY in your above statetment!!! Huge Bravo to you!!!
And to Rizz: I too have very high blood pressure -- BUT who cares???
What is next = Ban Posts if the Post drives up someone's Blood Pressure = SHIT!!! FMD!!!
Yeah, lets focus on our Blood Pressure, as our Yanks very well might be in the process of wasting another Season.
THATS THE ANSWER = BLOOD PRESSURE = INSTEAD OF HITTING FOR HIGHER AVERAGE AND GETTING RUNNERS ON BASE to score and for GOD's Sake stopping the damn Swing Away Mentality.
Tequila pass the Mushroom and Popcorn Bowl...
Our Mushroom Friend Harvey is back:
P.S. Might Gardner rejoin the team as an injection of Youth & Speed??? Only Harvey knows for sure??? What do you think Noetsi?
Report: Yankees' Rival Shows Interest in Signing Brett Gardner.
It's hard to imagine Brett Gardner wearing another uniform, but what if he leaves the Yankees and goes to this division rival?
TAMPA — It's hard to imagine Brett Gardner wearing another uniform, but this scenario would be particularly perplexing for Yankees fans.
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Toronto Blue Jays recently checked in with Gardner's representation about his availability in free agency.
Gardner made it clear at the conclusion of last season that he hopes to finish his career with the Yankees. His agent reiterated last month that the 38-year-old aspires to suit up in 2022, preferably in pinstripes.
The Yankees haven't revealed if they want to bring Gardner back for a 15th season, but his locker is still available at George M. Steinbrenner Field and nobody else is using his jersey number.
That said, New York has other assets at its disposal to fill out their bench if they prefer. Aaron Judge can slide over to center field as a backup for Aaron Hicks when needed. Other outfielders like Tim Locastro, Estevan Florial and Ender Inciarte are candidates to make the Opening Day roster as well.
Gardner is notorious for re-signing with the Yankees late in the game each spring. Any day now, the outfielder could pop up in New York's clubhouse. Until then, the chances of Gardner donning another uniform in 2022 continue to grow.
In this case, the level of Toronto's interest is unclear.
With a righty-heavy lineup, Gardner could provide a spark from the left side of the plate off their bench, a veteran presence that would help the Blue Jays as they look to take the next step and contend in the playoffs this year.

JUDGE UPDATE:
57 minutes ago
TAMPA, Fla. — Aaron Judge was disappointed, but not surprised that he could not come to an agreement on a deal to avoid arbitration on Tuesday.
The Yankees slugger is still hopeful that something — a one-year deal or a contract extension — can be worked out in the next 14 days, before his deadline of opening day.
“I think both sides want to avoid getting to that situation and having to go in that room and kind of fight each other a little bit and bring out the boxing gloves,” Judge said, “but I’m prepared for it.”
Judge, who made $10.17 million last year, filed for $21 million. The Yankees countered at $17 million. The slugger, who will turn 30 next month, said that began some conversations between the Yankees and his agent Page Odle.
Arbitration, where the team argues that a player is worth less than he believes, can get ugly and the last time a Yankee ended up there it did.
Dellin Betances was vocally unhappy when the Yankees belittled his contributions and it became a big story. Judge was in the spring training clubhouse, a friend of Betances’ and knows how this can change a relationship between player and team.
“I’m optimistic, but it’s a short window, you know what I am saying,” Judge said Wednesday afternoon before the Yankees’ spring training game against the Orioles at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
“We’ll see what happens. … I kind of want to get this arbitration stuff over with and see if we can settle on something there.
“But if not, you know, head to the courts and see what happens.”
Managing partner Hal Steinbrenner and GM Brian Cashman have said publicly they would like Judge to remain a Yankee and that they expect those talks to begin soon.
“I think both sides do want to come to an agreement so I think we’re both not really too happy not being able to settle on something and kind of work through it,” Judge said. “I think we’ve still got time. We both filed numbers but that doesn’t mean that the communication stops. Hopefully we can continue to communicate and kind of find a number that works for both of us.”
The 29-year-old is coming off one of his most complete years in the big leagues.
The three-time All-Star slashed .287/.373/.544 with a .916 OPS, 39 homers and 93 RBIs in 148 games in 2021 According to Baseball Savant, Judge was among the league leaders in average exit velocity (95.8 miles per hour), max exit velo (119) and hard-hit percentage (58.4%). He led the Yankees in WAR (5.4).
Overall, his six years in the big leagues have been exceptional, averaging 276/.386/.553 and a .940 OPS. He was the 2017 Rookie of the Year, runner up to Jose Altuve in that same season and a Home Run Derby champion.
One major league executive suggested a five-year, $185 year deal would be a good one for Judge. He used comps from Alex Bregman and George Springer for a contract guideline. Bregman signed a five-year $100 million extension with the Astros in his age-25 season. Springer signed a six-year, $150 million deal with the Blue Jays after the 2020 season, when he was 31.
“We’re gonna have to engage in order to get a contract. When that happens, we’re not going to say or predict, but we’re on the clock obviously between now and his free agency. And if nothing gets done prior to free agency obviously it doesn’t mean we don’t want him, he can come back as a free agent too,” Cashman said last week.
“So we’re the only team that can talk to him now. At some point those conversations will happen or will happen and we’ll try to keep it as private as we can. But like anything else, just like trades and free agents, you just got to be on the same page and find common ground.
“We’re happy he’s a Yankee and it’ll be great if we can make it longer than this year.”
Judge said that while the arbitration deadline forced some communications there haven’t been numbers exchanged on an extension.
“When we talked yesterday, a little bit on the phone that we were able to, you know, they brought out that idea of maybe, talking about an extension here soon, but I’m focused on doing my work here,” Judge said. “Let’s get this arbitration stuff done and then we can kind of move on to an extension.”
Judge said at the beginning of spring training that he will not be discussing his contract going into the season, creating an April 7 deadline for extension talks. He said that if it isn’t done by then they will have to wait until the 2022 season is over to re-engage in negotiations.
The thought of being a free agent and testing what his worth would be on the open market, really doesn’t hold any special place for him. He doesn’t care if that takes away from of his leverage in this.
“If it comes to it, maybe, but like I said before, I want to play here,” Judge said. “I want to finish my career here. There’s no better place to play. So I’m hoping we don’t get to that but if we do, I think I’ll be ready for it.”

DoMe: Please introduce your tongue to your cheek to fully understand my comments. And, I am not the member who advocates banning posts, or who writes something and then immediately openly asks our fearless moderator to restrict any other additional comments on the topic. Perhaps re-read the tagline on my signature for better comprehension. I am an absolutist when it comes to free speech, which includes voicing my own in response. Notice: I did not ask Kaybli to restrict any future follow up posts to mine. See how that works? Some want free speech for themselves, but to be the arbiter of censorship for others when it suits them. It's an old cognitive dissonance chestnut for those who wrap themselves in virtue while bifurcating every issue, with no consideration of nuance. As Stephen Stills wrote so discerningly: "Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say, hooray for our side" Perhaps the lyrics shall provide understanding...for what it's worth. |

MUSHROOM LOVE
Mushroom, mushroom candlelight
doin' the town and doin' it right
in the evenin', it's pretty pleasin'
Mushroom Susie, Mushroom Sam
Do the jitterbug
Out in the mushroom land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jinglin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like mushroom love
Nibblin' on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie
"Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she says yes with her kisses
And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her ties
muzzle to muzzle now
anything goes
as they wiggle
and Sue starts to giggle
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jinglin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like mushroom love

Get ‘em Aaron!… Who gives a shit about: Judge was among the league leaders in average exit velocity (95.8 miles per hour), max exit velo (119) and hard-hit percentage (58.4%). Who the f..k Cares unless you are a Geek working in Mams'a Basement at 33-years old.
Important critical Stats = # of Hits; .BA; # of walks; decreasing S/O's; RBI's; Runs Scored; Singles; Doubles; Triples; HR's Sac Flys, Bunts, SB, Defense; Less errors in OF; Number of BR thrown out; Attitude/Excitement you bring to dugout; Leadership Skills; Motivating other players; Training/Coaching other players and and and always trying to make yourself/team better!!!
NOT Exit Velocity, etc. etc. etc. = ALL BULL SHIT!!!

NOT Exit Velocity, etc. etc. etc. = ALL BULL SHIT!!!
AND there is NO WAY Judge at this point is worth $185 for 5-years $37m/yr
ARTICLE
...One major league executive suggested a five-year, $185 year deal would be a good one for Judge.
He used comps from Alex Bregman and George Springer for a contract guideline. Bregman signed a five-year $100 million extension with the Astros in his age-25 season. Springer signed a six-year, $150 million deal with the Blue Jays after the 2020 season, when he was 31.
...Judge, The three-time All-Star slashed .287/.373/.544 with a .916 OPS, 39 homers and 93 RBIs in 148 games in 2021 According to Baseball Savant, Judge was among the league leaders in average exit velocity (95.8 miles per hour), max exit velo (119) and hard-hit percentage (58.4%). He led the Yankees in WAR (5.4). Overall, his six years in the big leagues have been exceptional, averaging 276/.386/.553 and a .940 OPS. He was the 2017 Rookie of the Year, runner up to Jose Altuve in that same season and a Home Run Derby champion.
All of those stats that you urinate on are indicator stats that reveal that Judges accomplishments are not “luck” but “skill”. As a physical stat in a vacuum, they may be boring. Combine that information with results and they’re very exciting and interesting. As per his worth, no one is worth that much to play a game. Yet that’s the going rate… |
