1st and 3rd with no outs, and they get out of it! Damn it!
-
So is the vaunted Yankee pen that is about to blow a game vs the Marlins.
-
Looked like 4 balls and 1 strike to JBJ. Instead, we get a K.
-
I loved the Miller for ERod trade but always felt we should have signed Miller that off season.
-
We need Leon or JBJ to get on base. Both would be great.
-
Yes, love his career .615 OPS. (.758 career in minors)
-
Casue we have a better record and have last choices only.
-
That's how other fans feel when JBJ makes great plays.
-
Kinsler had a big chance last night. Let's see what he can do tonight.
-
They are toast.

Man... it doesn't take much for some to jump ship. Does every championship team always go the whole season without a bad stretch here and there? 3 bad games is all it takes, and that coming fresh off the heels of winning 7 of 8 and 13 of 15. In just 3 short games, the whole league has figured out how to beat us. We're doomed!
-
Yes, very true. For others, they drop off a cliff at 31 or 32 (Jim Rice). Most begin declining around 30-32- some faster than others. Rarely, some get better after 30-32 (Dwight Evans).
-
He was pulled back.

I didn't imply that better teams should only win 50% of their games. I implied that .500 teams would probably be expected to win about 50% of their one-run games. If a .500 team starts out winning 15 of their first 20 one-run games, they should not be expected to go 5-15 over the next 20, in order to "regress to the (assumed) norm" of .500. Baseball involves a lot of luck. I don't expect everything to come out as expected or projected.

STL gets Matt Adams without giving up anything. OPS since 2017: .842 Adams .842 Machado
-
It's now 2, but your point is well-taken. Still, any should-related DL stint draws interest.

1. A team's record in one run games will eventually regress to .500. That's just not true. If someone flips a coin head 50 times in a row, it does not mean that by 1,000 flips, they will be closer to 500 heads and 500 tails than had they flipped 25 heads and 25 tails over the first 50 flips. If a team starts out winning way more one-run games than the norm, chances are they will begin to win their norm for the remainder of the season- not make up for it by losing more one-run games than statistically probable. If a .500 team wins 10 more games by 0ne run at the halfway point of a season, they'd probably be projected to end the season with 10 more wins, as statistically, they'd be projected to go .500 in those games over the second half. 15-5 first half 10-10 second half 25-15 final numbers (not 20-20). Now, 25-15 is closer to their norm than 15-5, so in a way they are progressing towards the norm, but they should never really reach the actual norm after starting off with a massive anomaly. Seattle is still 31-16 in one-run games. They will not be at .500 in these games by season's end.

Me too, but even if the injury is real, resting him gives us a better shot of him giving us more innings in October.
-
"Sales." The Yankees also were not allowed to buy Vida Blue.
-
I love ERod, but I'd bet on Sale.
-
Thing is, Johnson seems to do way better as a 4 inning starter. I don't want to mess with ERod as RP'er. I start him game 4. Wright and Velazquez would be nice long inning guys out of the pen. Johnson might get shorted, even though he's been doing pretty well for the first 4-5 innings as a starter.
-
We may need a 4th starter with a 2 games- day off- 2 games format.
-
It should help, but our starters have been doing pretty well, and the ones who are doing the least well are fixtures in the rotation.
-
High OB% and some power.
-
I always thought Bogey was the perfect #2 hitter, but with Beni's sudden loss of power, and Bogey showing more power this year, I like Betts-Beni-Bogey-JD... (Moreland/Pearce).
