HEEEYYYYYOOOOOO!!!!! It is Volume 6 of Furn Talk. Was on vacation last week so I couldn’t get around to it. But this week we are back with some awesome MLB talk! So let’s jump right in!!


In other MLB news the Cubbies outlasted the Buccos in the Little League Classic Sunday Night which was cool to see. Love to have in the interaction with MLB players and the youth. It’s great for the game. The NL East Divisional Race is heating up and it should be awesome to see how it plays out. The Indians are back climbing the leaderboards as they have made quite a comeback led by Fransisco Lindor and Some awesome Starting Pitching. But the Twins will still remain on top.

Amidst the high quality talent in the AL East, the Yankees are still the best Team in baseball. Talent and Power up and down the lineup. Now let’s dive into it. The Yankees in 2 weeks swept the O’s twice and split against Toronto and Cleveland making their record 11-2 in the last 2 weeks. Awesome! Our starting pitching is showing signs of life. Tanaka has two good outings and our bullpen is shutting any opposing lineup down. With the exception of Nestor, everyone looks good out there. Gio Urshela might lead the league in Average so that’s cool and DJ is doing his thing too which is awesome!

Another crazy ejection happened where Brett Gardner was thrown out for banging the bat on top of the dugout. CC Sabathia lost his damn mind and got thrown out too. It was a wild scene.

But the main point of the blog this week is that this week of Yankees baseball is going to be the best week of baseball if the entire year. We have a West Coast Road Trip for 2 weeks including 2series against the A’s, a series against the Mariners and Rangers. And arguably the most important series of the Entire Year against the Dodgers. This series is massive as this is the consensus for a 2019 World Series Preview. We have to at least win 2 of 3 games. It will be tough but we have to establish ourselves as the big dogs!! Not to mention give a huge leg up for the Best Record in the MLB.

2021 Yankees Pitching Preview

  HEYYYYOOOOOOOO!!! Welcome back to Furn Talk. We are back for 2021 providing my hot takes for MLB and for our beloved New York Yankees. There is so much to talk about with Opening Day only 1 week away! So exciting. The Offseason: This offseason the Yankees Re-Signed DJ LeMahieu (6 yrs. $90M, we will talk about him in the next article), Signed Corey Kluber (1yr. $11M), and traded for Jameson Taillon, and signed Justin Wilson and Darren O’Day. Clearly Brian Cashman and the rest of the Yankees front office wanted to upgrade the rotation and did just that. Unfortunately, we lost Masahiro Tanaka this offseason, as he goes back to Japan. He was a favorite amongst Yankee Fans and will be dearly missed. A great Postseason pitcher and a great clubhouse presence, Tanaka’s contributions to the Yankees will not be forgotten. The Rotation: Keeping on the Pitching Staff, the Yankees are entering their last week of Spring Training. Here is a potential Opening Day Rotation for the Yankees: Starti...

Back to the Drawing Board.... Again.....

HEYYYYOOOOOOOO!!! Sorry for the abnormally long break, but welcome back to Furn Talk Volume 7. This is going to be my analysis on the postseason and potential moves during the offseason for both the Yankees and other MLB teams. So, unless you live under a rock, you know that the Yankees once again did not make it to the world series. If I am being honest, we did not deserve it. To the Yankees credit we steamrolled the Minnesota Twins in an ALDS series that looked like we were playing a minor league team. Houston moves on as everyone expects. On the National League Side the Dodgers are out again on a hot Washington Nationals team, and the Braves won against the Cardinals in 5 games. Then the CS comes about. The Red- Hot Nations and their stellar Starting Pitching Rotation, which we will get into later, got through the lackluster Cardinals. But on to the more important series. The Yankees were not the team of the Regular Season. They were stranding runners, striking out in big situ...
