  1. It’s more fun to read about them sucking then to watch them suck. It’s actually funny. I really enjoy the write ups so keep up the good work writing about the Yankees horrible work.
    And please PM me the day then fire Boone so I can start watching again that night!

  2. It really is impossible to imagine them winning a game this series, isn’t it? I mean, if you ask me – they may. But somehow I can’t see it.

    1. It’s possible that DJ is hurt (SHOCKING, I know), so Vivas might actually get to play. But yes, the fact that he is on the 40-man already definitely makes this seem less interesting.

    2. Oh, huh, it’s DAVIS that is going on the IL. I was wondering why he’d been missing in action recently.

      Okay, so, yeah, Vivas is likely going to sit on the bench, which is hilarious.

    3. An interesting approach would be, as I suggested recently, to DH Gleyber.

      Vivas 2B
      Soto RF
      Judge CF
      Rice 1B
      Gleyber DH
      Wells C
      Volpe SS
      Verdugo LF
      LeMahieu 3B

    4. JD Davis another of Cash’s clever finds to IL. If you’re not gonna play Visas what’s the sense. OBP is his strength, 400+ OBP June, July.

      RAB: Vivas has been very good the last few weeks after missing the start of the season with a broken orbital bone. There is more to life than exit velocity, but an 83.5 mph average exit velo in AAA is 😬 (max exit velos are a bit more promising). We’ll see where this goes.

    5. “Vivas is likely going to sit on the bench, which is hilarious.”

      If that’s true, then they’re just the absolute worst.

      (And if that’s not true, they’re still clearly the absolute worst, but you know what I’m saying.)

    6. After thinking about it a bit, I think they might actually play him. If all they cared about was some IF depth, they’d call up Peraza again. With the entire IF STRUGGLING, it makes sense to try SOMETHING before making a big(ish) trade.

  3. Yankees “keep missing opportunities.” One reason may be over the last 30 days they have the second lowest team BA over the last 30 days at 222. Seems like for years Cash and Boone have deemphasized BA, maybe way too much. phenom has the the 4th lowest BA at 170. Verdugo 11th at 186. It’s kind of hilarious that two of the worst hitter for BA in baseball have been our two leadoff hitters.

  4. The clear target for the Yankees this trade deadline should be Jonathan India. He doesn’t really have a longterm role with the Reds, and he could play either second or third (horribly, but still). He could be Gleyber’s replacement, and he is team controlled through 2026.

    1. Making Jonathan India cut his hair would be a crime against nature. I’d rather see them burn a VanGogh than make India change anything.

  5. Merrifield released. Having a terrible year. Sounds like Cash kind of prospect.

    Sunday game 11:30 am on Roku channel. There’s a Roku channel?

    1. Finally. If DJ has anything left in the tank, that is the move to try and squeeze it out of him.

    2. Please.
      I’d much, MUCH rather see more Vivas and less Jones. (And “less” is actually a cipher for “none.”)

      I mean, among the players who suck like the abyss, DJ might have been the best choice up to now. But if you can try something actually worthwhile, that’s light years better. If he had really started coming around with the bat, that would be another story.

      But it’s so NOT another story, unfortunately…

    3. A thing to hate about this team.
      I don’t want to be pressured to root for injuries.

    4. Sure but Jones is hitting 333/1067 against LHPs. I don’t think it will last but for now I don’t mind him starting against LHPs. I imagine Vivas will get a chance against RHPs however I think he’s just keeping a seat warm for the great JD Davis.
