    All accurate, except for the historically bad part. 1990 is historically bad. It's historically bad in the context of what the seasons have looked like since 1992 but not historically bad unless they somehow lose at least 30 of their final 42 games.
    Right and I get that the last 30 years are as impressive as anything…not necessarily the championships but the consistency and the ability to avoid seasons like this, but I think the issue is that everyone saw this coming

    If you were telling me that Gleyber Torres would be the best hitter this year and the rest of the team would perform only half as well as the year before I would have bet that you were out to lunch.

    Mike is faltering.

    might want to shut him down so he can finish above the Mendoza line.

    After his 16 HRs in the next 14 days they can make that decision.

    This is like when I was watching the Marlins the past few years and they were already losing before they got to bat

    Except the marlins finished 24 and 28 games below 500.  Yanks are 1 game below.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Honestly, I have no idea looking at that dogshit lineup and what Shallow Hal and Mr. Hankey are paying for it how Cashman is still employed.

    2nd highest payroll behind the Mets entering the season. At least Mets were smart enough to see the writing on the wall and dumped a ton of salary at the deadline.

    100-win season, however, is still on the table.

    Oopsie, 0-3 with 3 strike outs (and a walk!!!), sub-Mendoza again for Mike.


    Also this:

    Yankees feel like 'turnaround is coming' after team meeting - ESPN

    They sure turned it around. 
    2 hits for that dogshit nearly 300Mil lineup against a stiff and 2 relievers.
    And their ace gives up a grand slam to some little leaguer who's hitting .186 that the Sox bought off the scrap heap from the Brewers.

    Part of me wants them to end the season 20 games under and see what Hal does at the end of the season?
