2020 Regular Season Notes

[hardrain]

Cool thanks. I was born in ‘85 so my memories start around 1991/1992.

Remember him as GM obviously (and...AL president?) but never really thought much about him beyond that.

Edit: Holy crap. TIL Bob Watson had a 19 year playing career with a 129 OPS+

.295 lifetime Batting average back in the day when people cared about batting average

[ymike673]

Wow. I had no idea Bob Watson played for the Yankees. What year is this from? I’m guessing early 80s based on some of the other names?

Played for the Yankees in the 81 WS. I believe he homered in the first game. And a pretty good GM for the Yankees too in the mid 1990's.

[jnewmark]

Yes, but going from Girardi to Boone was a very dumb thing to do. You chose a former player/ESPN commentator with no coaching experience AND no prospects of being a manager. Cashman wanted a puppet, and that's what he got. Therefore, Boone's bad decision making is more just an extension of Cashman. The source problem is still the same.

Not the first time its been done, and , starting to become a trend, according to this article: https://www.mlb.com/news/trend-of-hi...son/c-64009176

Back to reality. I want the good Happ tonight. I do not care about the vesting option at this moment in time. I want to win and he wears the right uniform. But he only goes 5 or 6 innings and the whole bullpen pitched last night. Bullpen management will be important tonight.

Chapman probably unavailable. Britton and Green should be able to pitch.

[ymike673]

No Stanton, Gleyber and Sanchez tonight. Judge is the DH. Higgy catching.

I missed last night’s game so of course I see it ended up being one of the best games so far this season.

Guess since this was a MLB.com article it couldn't point out the real reason why teams starting going with first time managers midway thru the decade, they're less expensive to sign!

And the longest, lol 5 minutes short of 5 hours.

Gee whiz... I’m sure Ma and Pa Pinstripe were in rare form.

[longtimeyankeefan]

Gee whiz... I’m sure Ma and Pa Pinstripe were in rare form.

Ma Pinstripe was off for some reason - we got Sweeny Murti for the color.

[Yankee-1]

A) Why is there a playoff bubble if there hasn't been one all season?

B) Why would AL playoffs take place at NL parks?

Maybe you should do some research.

A. Avoid any covid 19
B Avoid home field advantage

[Yankee-1]

Tonight's Lineup:


Willie Randolph 2B
Jerry Mumphrey CF
Ken Griffey RF
Dave Winfield LF
Bob Watson 1B
Lou Piniella DH
Graig Nettles 3B
Rick Cerone C
Andre Robertson SS

Why do you do this? What am I misssing?

Ma would have been off for Jewish New Year's.

He also scored MLB's millionth run.

...was Stanton supposed to be sitting this game?

[hardrain]

It is not worth getting angry about. It is an occasional nod to tradition. It is the lineup for this date back in the day. People guess the year.

Yes. Play 2 games and then sit one.

[ClownPickle]

Gracias.

[Benefactor]

Yes. Play 2 games and then sit one.

Gleyber too?

[ymike673]

Gleyber too?

Don't know about Gleyber. Boone announced the plans for Stanton and Judge earlier this week.

1980

Easy with that lineup. 1982.

[ClownPickle]

Wade is bad at too many things.

[primetime714]

Don't know about Gleyber. Boone announced the plans for Stanton and Judge earlier this week.

He also said he was going to try to get Gleyber and Gio a day this weekend, so Gio will likely be off tomorrow
