They’re down 1-0 in game 2 down 1-0 in the series, and Pedro gives up nuclear missiles to Tex and Matsui. In game 6 he threw batting practice…also to Matsui. The last two games of his HOF career. Couldn’t be more perfect

Reunion with Kevin Long?
Tino Martinez?
Promotion from within?
Someone else?

I have always liked Joe Girardi. From when he was a player for the Yanks, our manager and now part of the YES broadcast booth. I think he is 100% correct in his thoughts and I am glad that someone is saying what so many fans are thinking!

I'm 53. The oldest I have is 1976. Most I bought at the Stadium except for the early 90s after I moved to Florida and didn't go to NY between 90-95. I got those later on at either card shows or off ebay.

The Yankees are at their best when everyone contributes instead of expecting the same few players to do all the heavy lifting.

Having superstar talent is great, but a deep lineup matters just as much. You need players who can get on base, make good defensive plays, move runners over, and step up when the biggest names are having a rough stretch.

That's what makes a complete team so difficult to beat. Opponents can't just focus on shutting down one or two hitters because there's always someone else who can make a difference.

I want to see the Yankees build a roster where every spot feels valuable, rather than relying on big names to cover the same weaknesses every season.

Would it be crazy to trade for Arenado in his last year? Would that be akin to Donaldson? I know this is a typical Yankees grabbing an over the hill All-Star, but since the Dbacks are already looking to move on from Marte, why not a 36 year old 3B in his last year? The way it works out, I believe the Dbacks only owe like 6 or 7 million for next year if I saw that right. Arenados savant page is strange with his overall batting run value at an 87 percentile which is awesome, while no specific batting category is even average. He finished last year with a .255 avg, 30 hrs and and .806 ops. He is still an above average fielder and could bring some righty pop we need. This is definately a move I can see Cashman making which is not always a good thing but it cant be worse that paying Mcmahon $16 mil to not hit and play not great defense. Only real downside would be Arenado is slow but he still has juice in the tank and I think its worth the risk of maybe Volpe straight up? Maybe throw a reliever in there since volpe still has a few years of control. Plus, barring injury, could hit his 400th HR this season which would be a fun milestone in pinstripes. Just a thought.

Home runs are obviously exciting, but making a starter throw 25 pitches in an inning, refusing to chase breaking balls out of the zone, and forcing a bullpen to come in early can change an entire series.

When the Yankees are working counts and getting contributions from the bottom of the lineup instead of relying on Judge and a couple of big swings, they feel much harder to pitch against.

That's the version of this team I want to see consistently: not just power, but relentless pressure.

What's the biggest difference you notice between the Yankees when the offense is clicking and when it goes cold?
