;D ;D ;D ;D watched last nights hr derby and thoroughly enjoyed it under the new format the event is timed, no longer are guys standing there looking at pitch after pitch... new format was fast paced and interesting in my humble opinion... unlike the slam dunk which features mostly no name scrubs... ::) ::) ::) ::)

July is a no sports month until NFL training camp opens in August. Baseball? Sheeeet, let that sport go to bed.

LOL!!!
So every sport not liked by someone is because they were no good at it. Lol@that logic of guessing, since you like to guess, keep on guessing...
But yeah I always sucked at baseball. They would see me step up to the plate and all back away thinking I'd hit that sucker out the field. Jokes on them, lol, I hit grounders everytime, lol! But am a very fast runner, so the fact they were all surprised off their guards, I'd always get at least one base.
And this one time in the locker room, the coach...

Go get some f'n pitching to go with that offense and you'll break that trend.

Man, Ruth is unrecognizable there.

you optimistic that the Yankees will win the East?
what a division!
only 6.5 games separating first and last.
I looked at the "second half" schedule of the Jays' rivals and the Yankees got a good one ...
more home games than away games and they're done with some of the tougher teams.

Optimistic is not the word I'd use. I think the Yankees have the most balanced team in the AL East, when SP, hitting, bullpen and defense are factored in. But they also have their flaws, and need continued production from ARod and Tiexiera to compete.
I feel Toronto is the biggest threat, and if the go for it and grab a Hamels or something, even moreso. Baltimore has no SP, Tampa as no offense, and Boston stinks.
So, while I'm feeling better about the Yankees as some of the pre-season question marks have been addressed there's still a lot of baseball left.

I thought (or was hoping:)) age would eventually catch up with the Yankees: Arod, Tex, CC, Beltran (who I know's on the DL) ...
It's "playoffs or bust" for the Jays GM (with a new team Prez taking over this winter) and so adding arms at the deadline appears to be in the cards although I can't see him dealing prospects for a rental ... and I think Hamels has already vetoed a deal to Toronto.

Then Cueto it is then. He could be great for you.
One thing people didn't realize about the Yankees this year - they got younger. Age DID catch up with CC/Beltran, just not the other two. But the rest of the team is not old.
While I'd love to land one of those pitchers, NY has some really good prospects about to get called up. Would rather save them, then spend the big $$ on a Price/Greinke type.

THIS IS THE YOUNGEST MOST BALANCED YANKEE TEAM IN YEARS,,THERE IS SOME HOLES OFFENSIVLEY /PRODUCTION SS/2B THIS 2B ROOKIE CAN HIT..BULLPEN IS SOLID AND HARD THROWERS LIKE THE OLDER TIGERS TEAMS FEW YRS AGO,AROD HAVING A 30/100 RBI SEASON TEX 35/110/120,,MCCANN HITTING WELL,HEADLEY IS A DISSAPOINTMENT POWER WISE,GARNER/ELLSBURY SOLID..PITCHING IS VERY GOOD NOT GREAT ,DUE TO NOVA/TANAKA/CC EITHER GETTING STRONGER/OR BREAKING DOWN DUE TO TIME OFF ..THEY HAVE GOOD SHOT AT WINNING DIVISION AND SHOULD GET PAST 1ST ROUND PLAYOFFS..

plus, it doesn't look like a team will even need 90 wins to take the East.
the playoffs are a crapshoot ... just gotta get in ... then all bets are off.

THIS TOO...nobody thought the Astros would be this good,royals are solid,but Yankees played them well so far,,tigers have good team but Cabrera is hurt now,,whitesox on paper was picked to win it all...

Agree with this, but with a healthy 1-2 of Tanaka/Pineda, that's a great playoff 1-2 with a shutdown bullpen after 6. That can go up against any team, although Kershaw/Greinke as a 1-2 is the best of the best.

yeah, you can shorten your rotation in the playoffs and the team's with the aces should be the favourites ...
but last year the O's swept the Tigers (beating Price & Scherzer) and even Kershaw got rocked last October.

True too - we've seen some great rotations not win - the Tigers team you mentioned , LA last year, Phillies with Halliday and Lee/Oswalt/Hamels and the Braves teams of the 90s. Playoffs are as much luck/timing as they are skill.

due to economics all teams have shortcomings,no team can go out and buy a world series like the marlins did once, and then later did it again with a bunch of nonames and pudge rod.

YANKEES TRIED FORGET ABOUT 1996-2000 ASIDE,2001-2011 THEY TRIED ADDING THE MOST PAYROLL$$ OF ANYONE EVER AND IT GOT THEM 2009 WS THATS IT ,ALMOST BEAT DIAMONBACKS/WERE BEAT BY MARLINS EASILY ...

They need to juice the balls or the players.
Nothing is memorable until you look back at Sosa and McGwire days of yore.

dude (tonight in the all star game) threw every pitch over 100 mph ... making the three hitters he faced look silly.

the emergence of new stars is what keeps the game interesting. when one retires someone comes on to take his spot.

Tons of top talent right now.
Lots of baseball left for him, but Trout could be one of the best ever.

trout has amazing speed for a larger guy, would have made a great running back, but i think he made the right choice. career is similar to frank robinson and mickey mantle to this point so he's on the right track...

he is great....puljos had an amazing 10yrs start...
-
I think Trout's start is even better. In my opinion, he should have 3 MVPs in his first three seasons, and yes, I'm aware Cabrerra hit for the triple crown one of those years. Trout's season was better.

I was thinking about Chapman blowing away the A.L. hitters in the 9th (made 'em look like little leaguers), but (yeah) deGrom was mighty impressive as well.

Couldn't agree more, hope he stays healthy.

Might've had a little help, it appears. Though we can be reasonably sure today's guys are regularly tested.

it'll be a sad sad day if the great Mike Trout ends up in pinstripes someday. :'(

It will be awesome.
He belongs on the big stage, but I think it will be Harper who ends up there. Trout's already under contract until 2020, and will be paid 34M per year for the last three years of it.

yeah, Trout will be a free agent after his age 28 season.
so that's when the craziness will ensue (assuming he's healthy.)
sure, New York's the biggest stage but it's not like he's playing at the Trop...he's playing across from Disneyland!
he appears to be a throwback so i'd like to see him spend his whole career with one team (like the legends of yesteryear.)

I can respect that.
I guess it will depend on Anaheim's success. If they stink throughout the contract, he may want to move. I think he's a Jersey guy anyway, but I don't know what team he liked growing up. I know Harper's always been a Yankee fan.

poor scouting look at mike the long shot piazza , under the phillies noses for his whole life, yet they as well as all the other mlb teams saw little or no value in him....... he subsequently went as a 62 round courtesy pick to the dodgers only to appease his gumba tommy lasorda

I don't think it was poor scouting on NY's part. Since the Yankees finished so high in the standings since the mid 90s, they rarely had draft positions low enough to land guys like that (although Trout was the 25th pick in the 1st round, which was a pick Anaheim got from NY. Anaheim also had the 24th, and said they would have taken Trout anyway if they didn't have the Yankees pick, so NY had no chance - Mets had no pick above 25.)
In essence, all the teams ahead whiffed on Trout, but NY was not one of them.

Yes, and the friggin' LOADED the farm with international free agents this year in the low levels.
Judge / Severino could make big impacts this year.
