2019 Yankees
- Thread starter LISteve
- Start date
Maybin actually was on the roster and played (he hit a HR) but I'm not a huge Maybin fan, and yes, I knew going in that Romine would be better defensively than Sanchez and after seeing Sanchez looking like Stanton in his AB's he should have been playing since he always hits the ball, Tauchman I think was available by the ALCS and would rather have him on the roster than injured (or healthy) Stanton, Ford would be a great backup for Lemahieu at first or to move Lemahieu to third to get Ford AB's instead of Urshela if he wasn't hitting (which he wasn't). Like I said, those are the guys who got you there.
That was just a writers suggestion.
A wet dream.
First off Cashman would never mention a player by name he was interested in because it's considered tampering.
That said I read the same article online. It was the writer saying what the Yankees should do. Just filling a column. No different and about as valid as what LiSteve suggests the Yankees should do.

Per Cashman, Tauchman was ready and would be available if they advanced to the WS. He may have been added to the roster had they shelved Stanton for remainder of ALCS.
What does it matter, season is over and the majority of the team "spit the bit" like Dave did in '81. No clutch hitting, sans DJ and Gleybor, and a ton of strikeouts, just like the last 2 playoff losses.

Verlander and Cole are better than the Yankees starters. HOWEVER .... THEY DID NOT LOSE BECAUSE OF PITCHING! They beat Verlander one game, the other start Verlander made he left with the game tied and Cole won his one start. If you were told at the start of the series these results, you would have thought that we would have won the ALCS. That being said .... When I said that ... the Astros did have better starting pitching ... but Paxton turned it around, We got Severino back and Tanaka turned it on at the right time. We lost due to hitters coming up small in the big moments. Are you suggesting that the Yankees lost because of pitching?
