LOL No problem. Folks seem to "hate" on successful sports franchises, Cowboys, Patriots, etc. But for all of that, the Yanks have a ton of fans and you notice it, especially when they travel to other cities. Ticket sales are better and I have seen games where the Yankee fans are about 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no benefit doing this now. Take a week or two, catch your breath, evaluate season...and put a feeler out there to see if Girardi would be interested. If he's not you can still hire Shildt in mid-October and have the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosiertildeath Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I'm holding onto my lifeline button just in case !!Why you might ask ? Well , it is because that IDIOT Dave Roberts finally used a sacrifice bunt in the bottom of the ninth inning after Alex Verdugo and Max Muncy drew walks to start the inning ! Matt kemp then delivered a game winning 2 rbi double !! It was the first time that I can recall this season that DUMBO had someone sacrifice bunt other than a pitcher !!It was the BIGGEST win [so far] this season as the Dodgers reclaimed first place in the Nationa League West Division ( Despite having an IDIOT for a manager !! It took 147 games until Dumbo finally managed like he wanted to win , [imho } !! By the way , the relief pitcher that the Dodger Front office just acquired , Ryan Madson , who came in and put out the fire in the top of the 7th. inning when the Snakes [Arizona ] had two men on base !! Thank you Dodger Front Office ( and not that IDIOT Roberts ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Well thru 7 innings the Yanks are getting no-hit by Jake Odor Easy. What seemed like a comfortable WC lead 6 games) a week ago, is now down to 1 after the Oakland A's beat up on the hapless Orioles tonight. It would be the sh*ts if they have to leave Fenway the last day of the regular season and fly all the way to Oakland. This team has been one of the most frustrating teams for me to watch, they play like they have no urgency. Plus Boones managing of the bull pen leave me scratching my head. I almost hope they don't make the playoffs, they don't deserve it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said give credit where credit is due....the A's have the best record in baseball since June 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 As a Reds fan I Hope they don't bring back Riggleman as the manager. Two day sin a row he too out a starter who had not given up a run. Yesterday Harvey went 6 without a run and only threw 94 pitches. The Reds were up 2-0 and the bullpen gave up 3 in the 7th. Today Reed went 5 shutout innings and he took him out f a 0-0 game and only had 91 pitches. the next inning the bullpen gave up a run on the 6th. I am so tired of todays managers taking out starters after 5 or 6 innings and not letting pitchers battle through some things. The reds have a lot of young pitchers and Riggleman is a terrible manager for a young pitching staff because he will never challenge the pitcher to battle through adversity/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance of anything. They got their 90 pitches in...and just a guess they are looking at relievers for next year and beyond. Every game is an audition for almost everyone on the roster.

I agree with you, however there was no excuse for taking Harvey out on Friday night. He is a FA at the end of the season and if they are gonna make him an offer better see what he can do.
