    They turned Jeter into a GOD and made a truly great SS play 3B because noodle arm couldn't throw a ball accurately more than 100 feet. Heck, he was bad enough if the throw was more than 60 feet.

    Dusty has his MO. Manage a team with GREAT TALENT to playoff losses. That's who he is.

    The only reason to think Hinch could return is the strangely sparse details of his Detroit Contract with rumors of an opt out coinciding with the end of Dusty's contract. He's not perfect, but what manager is?

    Jeter wasn’t as good as the media would have you believe, but he wasn’t nearly as bad as non-Yankees fans would have you believe.

    Maton looked good yesterday

    Big Lie. Trump didn’t have 50000 at rallies, especially during the pandemic (see that OKC rally that killed Herman Cain). Crowd size doesn’t matter (since Democrats were smart and held distanced gatherings). Trump lost the popular vote by over 7 million ( he lost it by almost 3 million in 2016). The difference is He wasn’t going against Hillary and lost Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin ( The Blue Wall). Also, Trump cannot produce any evidence of widespread voter fraud…including in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Nevada. His appointed Supreme Court Justices rejected his claims. The fact he didn’t spend a dime of his money to find fraud spoke volumes. He is a grifter and you are nut-licker for a man who is a con-artist.

    This is supposed to be a board for baseball, specifically the Astros

    Neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden have anything to do with the Astros

    The only thing I like about the Yankees is the facial hair rule.

    I think once the metrics for defense get better and people go back and look at how horrid he was, he will get his due for being the horror show that he was.
