I don't either, but he's likely not a .400 hitter. (Maybe Cordero isn't either- going forward.)

Agreed, but he might already be our best defensive OF'er close enough to ML readiness.

Yankee runs scored in last 4 wins: 4 3 3 1 Before this, they've also won 2-0, 2-1 and 3-1 in 3 of their 11 wins. The Sox have scored 4,1,2,1 and are 1-3 in their last 4 games. I'm not trying to say it's all about offense or pitching: it's both along with a little luck.

They must think it's worth a shot, but their readiness to play, right now, is the issue, IMO>

So what? Is there only 2 aces in MLB, right now?

What a joke. ERod has been the winningest pitcher his last 3 seasons combined. None were "stopper" situations? PLEASE! 2019 4/19 Had lost 3 in a row (4 of 5)> Win 4/24 Had lost 2 in a row > win 4/29 Had lost 2 in a row (4 of 6)>win 5/15 Lost the game > win 5/26 2 in a row> win 6/18 lost 1> win 6/24 lost 2>win 7/17 lost 1 (2 of 3)>win 7/23 lost 1 (2 of 3)>win 8/7 lost 1 (9 of 10)>win 8/12 lost 2>win 8/23 lost 2>win 9/4 lost 1 (2 of 3)>win 9/12 lost 5 (6 of 7)>win 9/19 lost 2>win 9/24 lost 1 (3 of 4)>win 9/29 lost 3 (8 of 11)>win (He won 5 of our 10 games in September.) Let's look at our winningest year in history, where there were hardly any 2 game losing streaks: Here are all the 2+ game losing streaks of 2018 4/21-24 (3) ERod stopper 4/27-28 (2) Porcello 5/8-9 (2) ERod 5/14-15 (2) Sale 5/31-6/1 (2) Price 6/7-8 (2) Porcello 6/15-16 (2) ERod 6/19-20 (2) Porcello 7/24-25 (2) Sale 8/19-21 (3) Johnson 9/7-8 (2) Porcello 9/18-19 (2) ERod 9/22-23 (2) Eovaldi 9/26-28 (3) Porcello 3 three game losing streaks: ERod stopped 1 of the 3 (33%) 11 two game losing streaks: ERod stopped 3 of 11 (27%) 4 of 14= 29% not the expected 20%. ERod is a winner- plain and simple. He's hit a rough patch, no doubt, but let's hold off on the "not a stopper" talk a bit, huh?

Letting up 4 runs is no longer very good pitching. Times have changed. The Yanks are scoring as much as us and winning. Hard to blame just one aspect of this team.

It's times like this that a cross-up happens. We start winning, again, tomorrow.

We don't need to win 9 in a row to be competitive, and we seem to do better on the road and worse against teams like Texas, so let's stay optimistic.

Then, assume 2-1 in the opening series and we're above .500.

We'll start finding ways to win, again. Hopefully, sooner rather than later. Right now, we're finding new ways to lose.

Seems like a fitting way to end a hopeful inning. We're in a tough moment in a long season,right now.

So true. Perspective.

I'm gonna enjoy this season, if we win 75 or 85 games. I knew we'd have some bad stretches and some good ones. I'm still thinking we win 84-87 games. If things go right, maybe more and maybe a playoff slot. I still think that, especially when you look around and see most teams have the same issues we do- or worse. We'll win again and even have another nice streak or two. Hopefully, it won't be too long from now.

I'm just saying what will happen when it is?

We haven't even seen our 4 and 5 starters s*** the bed, yet.

We're doomed.

Robo umps, now!

Big crooked number needed, here. Bigly!

Yes!

We gotta bust out in a serious way!

w t f !

Indeed. Even years later, Tommy Harper, my first favorite player, was treated poorly.

Looks that way!

Another one that "got away."
