FWIW - a lot in this case - Kimmi says the lineup doesn't really have a big impact on runs over the course of the season and it's more important to have players in the spots they're comfortable with.
-
Sure, but not enough to affect making or not making deals with them.
-
And the bottom line is that MLB is averaging 8.7 runs a game this year. Which is pretty close to 1970's-1980's levels. It's down from the last few years - almost certainly because they de-juiced the ball. Not sure why they did that if they're worried about offense.
-
C'mon guys, it's a silly argument to talk about how long the shift has been around. Strikeouts and guys swinging for the fences have been around a long time too.
-
The shift has been around since Ted Williams, sure, but the systematic, metrics-based use of the shift on virtually every at-bat most certainly hasn't.
-
Just stating the obvious, but they have until mid-season to do so.
-
The Sox had a great chance to turn the game around when Bogey came up with the bases loaded. Phelps made a good pitch. That's where games are often decided-one pitch.

Minnesota at Oakland 10-10 in the 10th
-
The Frightener has a 1.80 ERA in his last 2 starts!
-
At the risk of stating the obvious, there are a lot of X factors involved. If you're low on good relievers that are available, and the manager desperately wants 6 innings out of you, and your team scores 5 or 6 runs, then 6 innings and 3 earned runs is a good job, and 3.2 innings and 0 runs may not be.
-
Yeah, they kind of magically 'overperformed' in 2019.
-
I like this take.
-
In first with the answer: "Because we can be even more successful"
-
Arroyo is playing a lot more than anyone expected, I think. Our management is doing a fine job. Kike's days at leadoff could certainly be numbered, though.
-
As somebody pointed about Arroyo, probably notin, he was a first round draft pick. Mega kudos to Bloom and the scouts, whoever was responsible, for seeing the guy's potential.
-
2 hits by DJ, 2 by Urshela, 1 by Judge, nothing by the rest. A perfect microcosm of where the offense has been.
-
The Yankees need some sort of lift from somewhere. Like a good start by Taillon tonight. Not that I'm hoping for it, but I'm aware of the possibility.
-
Absolutely. But with all the cheating that was going on, one can't help having suspicions aroused by certain things. Very similar to PED suspicions. Sadly, baseball seems to be a game that is especially prone to cheating.
-
Right. Yankees ERA 3.60 Runs Allowed 4.27 Red Sox ERA 3.70 Runs Allowed 4.00
-
Maybe when they were looking at film of Giolito they noticed something in the pitch-tipping department.
-
The Yankee bats are sure to turn around to a degree, but there are a lot of intrinsic issues with the team - a questionably one-dimensional approach on offense, and some really bad defense and fundamentals. Guys playing out of their best position. And they don't have depth like they did in recent years. The bizarre trade for Odor showed that.
-
Alex Vertigo - he makes pitchers dizzy.
-
Same.
-
From the sounds of it, they're very serious about turning him into a starter. Patience my friend. We're in pretty good hands with Bloom and Cora.
-
Or to put in nicer terms, he has a lot more patience.
