nobody in the major league coaching staff had a chance to sit down with him and work on his swing, eh?

obviously judge is hurt but this is an objectively terrible lineup for a $280m team
https://i.imgur.com/xyPZn1p.jpg
they're 27th in batting (.229), 28th in OBP (.297, behind the tigers!) and 23rd in OPS (.708), because they still hit dingers -- and all that includes judge's insane numbers
not brian cashman's finest effort, and aaron hicks's rebound since joining the orioles doesn't say much for the coaching staff either

I love seeing stats like Josh Donaldson being 3 for his last 47 or was that Stanton
― calstars, Saturday, 24 June 2023 02:24 (ten months ago) link
donaldson homered tonight! now hitting .132/.200/.441 with is both incredible and slightly better than giancarlo's .184/.244/.377

yankees are 0-6 in games where josh donaldson has homered

Stanton looks utterly washed up, i think one thing that was telling for me from last season is he wasn't getting any XBH beyond home runs. he played 110 games and had 31 HR and 7(!) doubles, that's a pretty good trick.

The Yankees have officially dismissed hitting coach Dillon Lawson. Brian Cashman has never fired a coach in-season. He once told me that he doesn't believe in doing so, and that you need to evaluate each season in full. Clearly, he'd seen enough.— Bryan Hoch ⚾️ (@BryanHoch) July 9, 2023

After getting booed off the field coming out of the game in the fifth, Luis Severino sat down at the very end of the #Yankees' dugout.A couple players and coaches went over to pick him up.Severino hasn't moved a muscle since then. He's just sitting in the corner alone.— Max Goodman (@MaxTGoodman) August 5, 2023
last week he was quoted as saying "I feel like I'm the worst pitcher in baseball," at this point what do you have to lose by giving someone in AAA a shot and letting him rest/work on whatever's going on?
― JoeStork, Saturday, 5 August 2023 05:29 (nine months ago) link
absolutely no idea what they're doing on any level
i actually like aaron boone but a half-decent manager might have noticed that rizzo spent the last two months in a fog.
they have judge and they have cole. and then they have like a dozen injured 36-year-olds and anthony volpe (who sucks). i thought carlos rendon was a good signing! but this team is deeply fucked. has there ever before been a $300m last-place team?
i do love the higster tho
― mookieproof, Saturday, 5 August 2023 05:56 (nine months ago) link
I mean, as a hater and loser I’ve never followed them that closely, but I kind of assumed that part of the Yankee machine involved actually working with their players and trying to fix problems as they arose. Now it genuinely seems like an organization that feeds in $300 million to the machine and just leaves it to run.

honestly as the most casual of yankees fans…I find all the pitchforks out for cashman to be pretty funny. a year or two ago he was the best GM in the league…now they might have their first losing record in THIRTY YEARS and suddenly every decision they’ve made was terrible

i think he's been a v. good GM, and it's not his fault that rodon got hurt, and i suspect that signing judge to the gargantuan contract that will haunt the team for years to come was a decision made over his head
but this is a poorly assembled team, and doing *nothing* at the trade deadline was a dereliction of duty
― mookieproof, Sunday, 20 August 2023 01:33 (eight months ago) link
i also roll my eyes at the exaggerated dragging of cashman, he was pretty good until about 3-4 years ago

donaldson trade, hicks contract, lemahieu contract, punting the trade deadline, sitting out free agency every other year to get under the luxury tax
that last bit doesn’t depend on the gm, it’ll likely be ownership policy for as long as the steinbrenners own the team, but still, he’s had the job for 25 years and it’s culminated in this. gotta be someone out there who can do better with $309 mil

I don’t really watch the Yankees as much as I used to since I got MLB.tv and have a choice of games to watch, within my timezone anyway, but the wider Yankee media environment is high art in many ways. It reminds me very much of classic Arsenal fan TV during the bad Wenger days. The apex of Yankee media is ofc Talkin’ Yanks, which is hosted by baseball video specialist Jomboy and his sidekick Talkin’ Jake. When I tell you these are high art. The best ones to watch are, obviously, when something bad happens. This is even truer when Aaron Boone has to go on - he is contractually obliged to appear on this show which is WILD - and they pepper him with questions. But let’s rewind.The show has a very specific dynamic. Jomboy takes the role of Sad Dad Who Is Disappointed in the Yankees. Jake is younger, sarcastic, constantly boiling with fury. When Boone is on the show feeding them a line of bullshit, I’m constantly watching Jake. He keeps his face rigidly still, while his eyes SCREAM with fury. He sometimes wears T-shirts on the show mocking things Boone had said. He is the personification of the booing Yankee fan who throws stuff from the stands on the field, except what that person might be like on a day to day basis. On the normal show, a conversation might go like this:Jomboy (dejectedly): I don’t know, Jake. I think we thought it would all be ok when Judge came back, but the roster problems…Jake (sarcastically): well it would have been nice if the front office had thought to pick up an outfielder…or a left fielder…or watching this team wasn’t an exercise in absolutely exquisite AGONYthe producer guy who speaks in a monotone whose name i can never remember: it would be really nice if this yankees team could win a game or just be shot into spaceJake: Watching (other team), you know what I noticed? They play with PASSION. They play to WIN. Like the Yankees team I grew up watching!Jomboy: (almost on the floor in despair) it used to be the Yankees Way. I’m telling you guys. It’s art.
