Have you watched this team all year? They can't get any kind of big hit. You cannot win like that.

Yeah that's why they're at the top of the division with 90+ wins.

Yep. Past 2 years really.

 

[Toth]

Let me amend my statement. You cannot win against the best teams like that.

 

[Carlbeego]

Had the best record when they lost to Detroit last year.

Don't let me recap the previous decade.

 

[Malo]

Parts of yanquis gaf are way too pessimistic.

Yankees Jesus ‏@YankeesJesus

Thou shall cut down on the RISP fails if thou want to win thy World Series.

Yankee Jesus has spoken.

they score mostly via the homerun. their record with RISP is well recorded and atrocious.

Frontrunner mentality. Once things look dim, bail out.

 

[Toth]

Soriano has been rather poor as of late...no?

 

[Corran Horn]

MVPosey

 

[Doogdogg]

Fuck you Andrew Bailey

 

[Branduil]

Not a promising start from Harrison.

 

[rekameohs]

When Robinson Cano has played 159 games and has 88 RBIs in a lineup that good, you know something's going on.

EDIT: I know, "RBIs lololololol" but still. That's a hell of a lineup to be in the middle of the order for.

Boo hoo. "My team only makes it to the playoffs every year. We only last won it in 2009. Having a winning team every year is just horrible!" :-(

 

[Little Green Yoda]

AL with RISP: .261/.341/.411
Yankees with RISP: .254/.350/.431

Fewer hits but also fewer outs and more power.

 

[rando14]

That's still a nice weapon to have. Seager just got his 20th HR tonight. Mariners haven't had a 20 HR hitter in 3 years.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Yeah. It's frustrating to watch them leave seventy billion people on base but 90+ wins are 90+ wins.

 

[jman2050]

Welp, Soriano is ruined for the playoffs.

 

[Toth]

At this point the RISP woes have become a joke in and of themselves. To the point where you KNOW they are going to screw up.

 

[Lambtron]

I speak from experience: having a team that is always contending for the playoffs, but failing spectacularly once they get there is so much better than being a non-contender. You have it good, Yankees fans.

 

[jman2050]

RISP numbers are random. They literally mean nothing.

if Youk can hit a home run the white sox will end the season with 6 guys with 20 or more home runs lol

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Frontrunner mentality. Once things look dim, bail out.

you would know. I honestly thought you had died during parts of this season.

Boo hoo. "My team only makes it to the playoffs every year. We only last won it in 2009. Having a winning team every year is just horrible!" :-(

if we cheer too much we're annoying, if we don't we're pessimistic, whatever. we're fans, you'd all do the same shit.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

They're tied or winning the season series against every AL playoff team.

 

[Macattk15]

You also play half your games in one of the most fucking ridiculous HR parks in baseball.

People make fun of Yankee Stadium but US Cellular is a babby stadium, nearly as bad as Coors.

[Windu]

the Yankees have had 17 baserunners tonight. 3 runs. lol

 

[Branduil]

Leaving a million men on base? Yep, it's a Rangers game.

 

[The Frankman]

It's hard juggling posting in the NFL/NBA/Olympic/Gaming threads and moving shit.

 

[rando14]

Hah if my team made the playoffs I'd probably be a bit more grateful considering it's been over a decade since we've even sniffed October.

All I'm saying is the chicken little stuff is kind of annoying considering how good you all have it. Having a team that's consistently good and a true contender virtually every year is nice.

fixed for accuracy.

Troof

This is also true

There's absolutely nothing to talk about in The NBA offseason thread other than "The Knicks are lulz" comments.

 

[Judderman]

Bah.

 

[RBH]

Fuck you Andrew Bailey

That's ALL-STAR Andrew Bailey to you, mister!

 

[Fenix]

I'm sure back to back IBBs will work well for the Mets.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Jets suck, Knicks suck. I'd still take watching the Mets every day over them.

there is no chicken little anything going on here. fans react negatively when their team doesn't perform how they want them to.

Yet everyone else in Knicks-GAF manages to except you.

Yep, you've never been to either thread lol.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Hey! It's Francisco Cervelli!

 

[Toth]

Derek Lowe's finest hour?

 

[rekameohs]

Derek Lowe!! Game's over!

 

[rando14]

It must be nice to have expectations every year for 100+ wins. It must be nice to know you have nearly $200 million every year to spend on the best players. It must be nice to be a serious playoff threat every year.

 

[Windu]

I'm sure back to back IBBs will work well for the Mets.

the run on third is all that matters. i'd rather take the option to get the force out and worry about the risk of a walk.

 

[weekend_warrior]

World Series or bust.

 

[Maxim726X]

Haha Miami acting like they just won the WS.

got it. we should keep our mouths shut and never say anything negative.

 

[Branduil]

Geez Harrison.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Glad to tie it. Just need to get the top of the order hitting tonight.

 

[Fenix]

True... and it doesn't matter.

Definitely would have IBB'd Stanton though.

 

[The Frankman]

You win on a walkoff hit in extras, they didn't really do anything excessive.

EDIT: Ok that Greenberg thing is a bit weird.
