Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
This truly might be the best offense I've ever seen. With multiple stars injured no less.

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
If you would have told me that any of these guys were still going to produce in August after the way they hit back in May, I would have told you that we had to be more realistic and expect law of averages to come into play.
I just expect someone to step up every game.
Cashman should promote the weakest hitting AAA guy and have him hang out in the dugout for a week and send him back down."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

There's the Tanaka we need. He's been pretty awful of late.

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
I think this lineup is gonna go off in the playoffs. Especially if everyone gets healthy. Or almost everybody
There's no real solid way to pitch this lineup.
The Astros will be a problem. Especially if our starting pitching is ***. But this lineup will still work the elite Astros starters.
I do believe a average rotation with a good pen and an incredible offense as the Yankees have is enough.
And we can always count on Tanaka giving us the playoff version of Tanak. He's always more locked in.

Looks like the Yanks are holding tryouts for pitching. Sign, get called up, pitch an inning and get dfa'd the next day.“The saddest part of life is when someone who gave you your best memories becomes a memory”Comment

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
I disagree the name of the game is offense now. Yankees have the lineup to hit any pitching staff.
Yankees still have arguably the best bullpen in baseball. Rotation is middle of the pack. But its average. Betances could be a big boost. I'm not counting on Sevy so much.
But get this team healthy for the playoff run. I feel they are unpitchable.
This isn't one of the past Yankees teams that had a good offense and a mediocre pitching staff. This offense can carry you. They are averaging almost "6 runs a game with a team batting average at
.272." That's tough. With numerous key injuries to boot.
Last year's problem was hitting with risp. They were HR, sac fly or nothing. This year's team strikes with risp. Its gonna be fun.

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
As big as a Yankee fan that I am when it comes to postseason baseball great pitching will beat great hitting most of the time. We need to pitch well to win it all.
