I know your joking, but Bobby didn’t distinguish himself as a great 3rd base coach this year. I think you’re right that the Yankees want Bowa back. But I read bits of an interview with Bowa the other day and he was effusive about his praise for Torre. Yankees would have to [...]

Not to say that this isn’t a “who cares” move, but I don’t think Meacham was very good at third base. I can recall a number of times this year that he cost the Yankees a run. He was consistently holding runners at third with one out when they certainly could have scored. [...]

The Yankees fired Third Base Coach Bobby Meacham and special pitching instructor Rich Monteleone today.
Because what really killed this team this year was the failure to score from 2nd base on a single to right. I assume this is a preemptive move. Now that the Dodgers are one game from elimination, [...]

The second guessing has begun. Torre is being blasted in the LA Times for his percieved mismanagement of the LA pitching staff and bullpen in last night’s game.
This is one of those damned if you do, damned if you don’t moments. In Game 1, I thought Torre made a minor blunder [...]

I like the bunt there in that situation. Like you said, 2nd and 3rd with one out, that’s the kind of situation I like. I think the # 9 hitter is coming up (I think maybe the #8 hitter) and they will probably not intentionally load the bases there. But to [...]

Ok. So I took Scioscia to task for the suicide squeeze against Boston, on the Road, at Fenway. I thought the suicide aspect of the play was crazy, especially with a lefty batter. Anyway, fast forward to Friday. And Maddon makes two managerial miscues with the Rays.
1. Matsuzaka has been [...]

Where is Phil Hughes in that equation? I don’t think Moose is coming back. I think he will retire. And, Manny doesn’t strike me as a Girardi type player. I think Girardi says “no” to his acquisition. If they acquire him, to me that is probably an affront to the [...]

Interesting stuff John, but wishful thinking. I don’t think San Diego makes that trade unless you throw in another decent starter. Peavy has a terrific Whip, but I worry about bringing in another National league pitcher. His ERA goes up at least a point with 19 games each against the Red Sox, [...]

A lot of interesting possibilities. One thing for sure, signing Manny would get the unanimous vote of local media. The News and Post would have a permanent daily column on Manny mania. Manny’s weekly dreadlock length, the daily decibel count of his music in the clubhouse, it might even make a reality series on YES.
Wouldn’t [...]

It’s snowing outside. Thought I would take a few minutes to reflect on the offseason. Wow..that was a heck of an offseason. The Yankees made some interesting moves and the team is very different.
The blockbuster, of course, was the big trade with the Padres. The Yankees sent Robinson Cano and Chien Ming Wang to [...]
