Sure, but again, I'm not arguing one way or another. Just relaying what I've been told.

So getting back to Luis Robert Jr. I have zero doubt he is a better player than Chas, but right now Chad is just as good as he is. I think we will see a regression but every time he has a little down trend he has a huge breakout game like today.

Buy low. He comes up and mashed. Sell medium.
Because Bud Norris said these cards are worth a lot more than what I paid for them.jah003 said:Danwell Home said:

Wow. Scumbag domestic abuser is a drunk too.
What a meltdown in NY.

Shame he didn't no hit his wife.
The other night, he was supposed to start, then right before the game he was scratched. Then he came in in the fifth inning and pitched the rest of the game. I imagine he probably showed up to the park not completely sober. Also, I think he recently had a very close family member die in his family. That can send people down a bad path of they already have a slight issue.
The domestic abuse stuff makes him very open to ridicule, and he should catch all the crap in the world for that. However, I'll stop short of making light or shaming him for substance abuse addiction issues. I hope he gets the support that he needs for that.

Jomboy about to lose his Yankees credentials (if he has any)
I really commend Boone for doing these interviews with those guys and being completely transparent and not just give coach speak answers.
Seriously...That's awesome and I don't know of any managers that do this kind stuff.
Suck ass manager but props where it's due.

That's a fair point from Boone about their upcoming schedule and trying to get Judge an rest day after no rehab start. I'm not an Aaron Boone apologist, but these Yankee teams have been poorly constructed for years. They should have re signed Judge before last year, and then they shouldn't have re signed him after last year. I think the O's are going to be better than them for a while.
I'd probably rather him than DustyAg_07 said:

Yeah I wish more managers would do it… I'm also glad they don't hold back on their questions to him.
Just realized we won't be facing Cole this series.
And just as I type that, Cole gives up a 2 run bomb in the first,
Look, I give Dusty a lot of sh-t on here, but can you just imagine how he would react if Chandler asked him if resting Yordan was like waving a white flag to the opposition?
Were the Yankees in last place when Cole dreamed his whole life of playing for them?

Is that a middle infielder covering first or something? Because that dude ain't wearing a first baseman's mitt.
no one is going to feel sorry for the Yankees...
but it's hard to describe how bad Judge hurt the franchise by having a monster contract year
NYY is committed to paying him $40 MM per season...for 100 or 110 games per season
thru 2031...and he's not getting younger

Here's hoping the Rangers CEASE to be in first after tonight's game vs the Sox!

MLB gave him special balls
Probably doing the same for Ohtani this year
Big free agent players get that special sauce during their contract years
Don't know how I could have been dumber. I wanted Rizzo and he is having an absolutely horrid year. Not saying the guy we got is much better, but damn.

I was just thinking about this timeline...
Yankees whack Boone this offseason
Dusty "retires"
Astros hire Boone over Espada (no idea why we would do this but it's just a hypothetical)
Astros win World Series
If that wouldn't be an all time dragging of nuts on Yankees fans faces, I don't know what would be.
Note...I am not advocating hiring Boone in the slightest...just thinking about a hypothetical. But heck, if Dusty can win one...
I was talking baseball on the other thread. Not trolling. I was being friendly and even saying how I was excited to watch their game tonight.
My posts got deleted. But a couple of the posts of some of the guys attacking me stayed up. What in the world? Am I not allowed to talk baseball on this website?
If the mods are reading this I'm genuinely asking. The only rule I'm aware of is no trolling and I was having an exchange about what I liked/didn't like about the JV trade. It's odd that I can't do that but it's okay to attack me.

Bunch of thin skinned babies that have never won *****
It is this site (and any privately owned site) in general. Every board and certain threads just have mods with agendas and thin skin, especially one of them when it comes to criticizing a certain individual. This is not a criticism of this site, I think I speak for the vast majority that enjoy having it and the community. Its just reality, even somewhere like Reddit with boards that have millions of people and are user moderated.texasaggie2015 said:

I just wouldn't post over there honestly… nothing really to gain by it given they think we are "obsessed" with them
