Blue Heaven Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Pete said: Why? He's on WFAN right now, basically said he doesnt want to work anymore, his time has come. Decision wasnt hard to make, something that he wanted to do for a long time. He's wants to wake up in the afternoon, and not have to go anywhere. He wants to watch all the baseball he can, Mets/Yankees, ESPN, etc.....He will be very happy in his retirement.

Ozzy Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Gonna miss that Home run call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 He probably should have just retired in the offseason instead of early in the season. lol Unless, he just lost the passion overnight. He was always fun to listen and a big part of my childhood. He will be missed. They are honoring him at the Stadium on the 20th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably because he's sick, Sharpy....most likely to the point where it's affecting him and making it uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Also last season he got hit the head with that line drive there and really hasn't been the same since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we sure that is true about him being sick? The Rich Eisen show said he is not sick at all after talking to him. Just that he decided he wants to retire and doesn't want to announce anymore.

Michael Kay was talking about it during the game and he said nothing is wrong with health-wise, he just decided early on this season he was just done, that it was time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Great comeback yesterday! I think Stanton's home run in the 9th landed near San Francisco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 It wasn't a must-win or anything, but if you're going to lose two out of three, that's the way to do it. lol They definitely needed that. I'm still concerned about the rotation and rather piecemeal bullpen. Hopefully Cole and Kahnle come back sooner than later because they are very much needed. Stanton playing better is going to be huge for this team. I really hope it keeps up and he remains healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 How much do you love Soto?? ...Guy is a beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knew? lol One of my main critiques about this team the last few years was that they basically had no left-handed power hitters, and were far too right-handed down the lineup. Soto is a franchise player, generational type of talent who really needs to be retained at all costs. Getting Verdugo was a nice move as well. A solid lefty hitter who works counts and draws a lot of walks. This current lineup feels more like the old school Yankees lineups where they have patience and work at-bats. So far my big disappointments are Torres being absolutely terrible in all facets and the infield defense being pretty terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volpe has a great glove and Berti the 3rd baseman looks pretty decent so far. Gleyber is gonna be Gleyber..I know. But he has his moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Gleyber, he has a lot of skill and ability, but his baseball IQ just isn't there, and he gets down on himself for everything. He's just mentally soft. I don't see them bringing him back anyway, because re-signing Soto needs to be a priority. DJ will be back soon enough and we still have Dominguez as well. I think their system now is the best it has been in a very long time. Lots of reasons to be excited otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ is always a shot in the arm, and I forgot about Dominguez!!! Hockey season...that's why! It should be a good year though! I'd love to see these guys get to the post season!

Baltimore is loaded and will give this team a run for its money for the division. That or the wild card is absolutely feasible, especially if the pitching can round out into form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The Yankees offense is about as effective as Rick Nash in the Playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 About five guys being dreadful at the same time. Brutal. Starting to get worried about Judge. Gleyber is a mental case and Rizzo is washed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
