YANKEES 2020 fsck you

Worth 4+ WAR for you in 2018 but sure, he's garbage

True Yankeeism will never die

more playing time for actual True Yankee Brett Gardner

did the injury gods come up with this thread title?

Brett Gardner WAR

2017 4.1
2018 2.6
2019 3.6

Yeah I'll take it and he can field his position

"true yankeeism" lol

brett gardner's a good player! (although like fellow True Yankee paul o'neill, some of his swings-and-misses look weirdly terrible)

also 18th all-time in games played for the yankees; should pass a-rod and nettles this year

he's like the platonic ideal of a yankee. 220 pounds of thick neck, jaw-tensin' gum poppin' assholism and really really good.

when does the number get retired

hard to argue that anyone other than Reggie (maybe E. Howard at a reach) is undeserving of the honor

Aaron Judge is hurt.

are the yankees doing a file system consistency check this year?

insane

maybe do this if it feels "fun"

this doesn't feel that way

lol that everyone the owners exposed all this dirty laundry in a situation that could never work

true shitshow

Wow, Ken Griffey Jr. had a really damn good reason to never play for the Yankees.

despite the moral advantage, they did not defeat the yankees

Guys, we know there are two designated hitters. It's an intrasquad game at camp - we can do whatever we want! Someone will be playing LF, he will just not be hitting.

Stanton owning opening night

both of the big fellas looking good

What radio station can I tune into to avoid hearing this commentary & A-Rod? I went to WFAN but people were just calling in.

https://www.twitch.tv/isanyonethere10

No audio at the moment , perfect for you

I tuned into 106.7 DC but now there is a rain delay! So classic!

Opening night got 2020’d

Stanks have invited the POTUS to fling a ceremonial pitch! A rally is now scheduled outside the stadium on August 15th, the day of Trump's visit.

wow. really going for the full villain bingo card.

I love that his throwing out the first pitch requires an empty stadium

anyway the only source I see for this is shithead himself

Has he been wrong yet?

Noting that New York Yankees President Randy Levine is “a great friend of mine,” Trump said that Levine “asked me to throw out the first pitch.”

“And I think I’m doing that on August 15 at Yankee Stadium,” Trump declared while speaking from the podium in the White House. As he was making those remarks, the president turned to look at former Yankees star Mariano Rivera, who was on hand to help mark MLB’s Opening Day.

it's true his word is bankable

Because of my strong focus on the China Virus, including scheduled meetings on Vaccines, our economy and much else, I won’t be able to be in New York to throw out the opening pitch for the @Yankees on August 15th. We will make it later in the season!

Lol. Sure.

When you’ve lost even Randy Levine

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/27/us/politics/trump-yankees-fauci.html

as suspected

...he had an open invitation.

well yeah, *every* president has an "open invitation"

from Randy Levine?

so many good reasons to hate the yankees and this is what u pick

The Yankees have lost me: Their support for Black Lives Matter is too much

By participating in misguided protests on the field, the Yankees have turned their backs on their history, their protectors and the truth. In doing so, they have made their city less safe.

oh no

my guess was the Post, but i see the DN publishes braindead stuff now n then

i know it mucks up yr narrative but NYY have been suprisingly good and out ahead of the curve on a lot of charitable/community/progressive stuff in recent years

(iirc NYY was literally the last team to do a gay pride night and apparently we will have to ponder 9/11 every seventh inning forever)

but no, they are not actually that bad, particularly in a world where the ricketts family exists. anyway that column is less about the yankees than it is about the writer being a dick and MLB as an organization finally doing the least it could possibly do after decades of lip service to jackie robinson's legacy

for sure

otm

Stanton is on some sort of rampage

He only has to swing the bat 240 times instead of 500

Judge has 6 home runs over the last 5 days.

Greenie is going to be the downfall of the season, just wait

you are doing the lord’s work watching this team

lol

It’s up to “higgy” fuckin hell

“Ballgame over. Yankees lose. Yankees loooooooose.”

That would be so great if he folded that into the repertoire.

The bright side of this season is only 2 or 3 games invested in a first round elimination.

“Guess who just back today”

dj wins the batting title, becomes the first guy to do it in JV leagues

Afterman, though, has helped Cashman with some of his mischief. Cashman had once been using a cheap machine that produced fake flatulence, and she bought him a higher-quality one she called “the Fartmaster 4000.” (Cashman has burned through many of those.) He hid the device in the visiting players’ lounge at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia during the 2009 World Series and watched from an adjacent room.

um

i think we may have just found a new nickname for the 2020 Yankees

Lol!

TOUCHABLE

Later Bieber, have fun stewing all winter about what went wrong tonight

Sweet

WHOMST did beibs start against

gettin higgy with it

Higashioka is catching Tanaka tonight. The #Yankees can spin it any way they would like. Gary Sanchez is not the clear No. 1 catcher any longer.

— Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) October 7, 2020

good

GS is so weird I think his talent is 100% real but he has Jason heyward disease

heyward's ops was 230 points higher this year

also allowed fewer passed balls

But u know what I mean when JH had to rebuild his swing BC he got himself all fucked up

Higgy is the man

can only assume the 2004 yankees are now enjoying a champagne toast
