When they win, in part, because their stupidity in playing Ryan is rewarded, I'm not as sanguine.
They were the only Yankee team to win today, all the minor league teams lost and GCL1 was rained out. That's pretty unusual.
The jerk filling in for Chad Jennings is too stupid to realize that anything can happen in one AB:
"Twitter was filled with harsh critics, but then Ryan stunned them all."
People who think there is instant proof in baseball are imbeciles.
Like I said in the previous thread, I'd love for them to win the World Series this year in spite of their poor management. Sooner or later, the front office is going to have to change the way it operates in regard to players like Brendan Ryan anyway.
I hear/see a lot of talk praising the pen. No doubt, that it's really good, particularly the back end.
It shows, however, that Mo was never the most important player during the run, as so many claim. His greatness was his consistency, but you can find very good relievers year to year.
What you can't find are SS who hit like Jeter, whose offense was so good for a SS, that it overshadowed what was often very below average defense.
The irony is that he might have been a bad fit for the current "mindset."
Lawyer;
To me, the greatness of Mo was his pitching in October. No one is even close. And, as a fellow living in NY, who enjoyed all the Yankees post-season appearances during Mo's career, I watched/listened to almost all his games. Many were in pressure situations - not to many cheap saves in there.
Phil;
Evcoldi was losing it in the 5th already. He was breezing through the first 4, but he threw a lot of pitches in the 5th, and into the 6th. Can't blame Joe for pulling him at that point. I was hoping for Shreve, but it was not meant to be.

True, but others have pitched well in Oct, and that he had an opportunity to do so was largely a function of the team's success.
But how many other reliever was as good as he was for so long?
Anyway, my point is that Jeter was the most valuable Yankee of the era.
Couldn't a case be made for Bernie being MVP of that era as well?
Over a narrower window ending in 2002, yes.
Believe me. Bernie was my favorite player, not Jeter, who I think put himself before the team more than once.
