So, I realize I'm probably the minority around here, but I'm a Yankee fan and damn proud of it.  

 

Before I post what I think our season will be like, I wanted to see if there were any other Yankee fans around here.  How do you think we'll fare?  What are you worried about?  Any young players that you're excited about?  Just wanted to start a thread for general discussion.

Also. ..

I don't care about the PED crap. It's just the era of baseball he played in. Most guys have done it, he just happened to get caught. He took drugs to recover faster from hip surgery. 

A-Rod is a top 5-10 power hitter all-time. It's sad people get caught up in the hate and can't appreciate whats happening right in front of them. People have always hated him and the steroid stuff was just gasoline on the fire.

It's just a number anyway.

Babe Ruth is the homerun king even if a "clean" player were to belt out 900 home runs. The number of home runs he was hitting compared to the rest of the league was staggering. I read an article on it once and it said it was basically the equivalent of a player today hitting 200 HRs a year for a decade.

 

For the most part, I agree.  Baseball can't just turn a blind eye to the steroid era.  I think it needs to have it's own wing in the hall of fame.

 

 

 

Those steroids didn't give him hand eye coordination, bat speed, power, and teach him how to hit a fastball or curveball.

 

While I'm against steroids, this has always been my argument for why it doesn't bother me as much as it bothers others.  I'd like to see just anyone go out there and hit a 90 MPH fastball.  It's not as easy as it looks.  Yea, you may get a piece of it, but hit it solid (multiple times) and you should have at least played college ball.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
