    I dunno JDavis, you seem to be spending a lot of time here as well. I don't recall you being around this frequently last year when the Yanks weren't playing at a historic level.

    The good thing about having a winning stretch of games like this to start the season as opposed to later on is that it will take a lot for the Yanks to lose their division lead. Going .500 the rest of the way is probably the worst case scenario I can envision for them, and if they do the Jays would need to go 60-36 (.625) for the remainder of the season to surpass them. Not impossible, but winning at that pace for 3 months isn't easy.

    It's possible, only time will tell. But currently there is no evidence that they've peaked.

    A season being enjoyable vs being a success aren't the same. There have been many enjoyable seasons overall over the past decade where the final result was a failure. And every year the Yankees don't win a WS it's considered a failure. But as fans we should still enjoy the ride.

    What's the tiebreaker? I assume you're Gashouse Gorillas, and we're 1-1 against each other. And if you go by the fabricated division record that it shows, mine is better than yours.

    Really the biggest difference this year as opposed to the last few has been health. The few key injuries the Yanks did suffer were to the bullpen, where they have the most depth. Taillon/Sevy/Monty are all pitching well and that's not unusual given their history, they've just spent too much time on the IL in past seasons. Same with Judge/Stanton. Others have really elevated their game this season such as Trevino/Cortes/King, and you also have Gleyber/DJ having bounce back seasons. Plus the defense has been astronomically better across the board. All of that has added up to a historically great start, and hopefully the injury luck continues.

    It's taken awhile, but I've finally claimed my rightful spot in first place

    He essentially attributes the Yankees 2009 WS to 3 guys who were caught juicing at various parts of their career. But as soon as a similar comment is made about Manny/Papi and the Sox then it's a false equivalence. What's the saying, something about throwing stones and glass houses..
  9. bkzwhitestrican
    Maybe. Keep praying for it!

    The tigers actually have 2 pitchers named E-Rod, today was Elvin not Eduardo. The true E-Rod is in the IL and his season ERA is 4.38, about par for his mediocre career.
  11. bkzwhitestrican
    Yanks administer a thorough beating and the Rangers take a 2-0 lead against the defending champs. Very satisfying sports night.

    Mets fans believe that every year, then the team falters in the second half of the season and misses the playoffs. It's tradition.
  13. bkzwhitestrican
    Where are those rankings from?
  14. bkzwhitestrican
    He'll probably get something along the lines of what Lindor got. I'd say 10 yr/$350M

    They haven't even been that bad during this mini losing streak. Sevy/Taillon combined to pitch 14 innings and give up 1 run in the doubleheader. And they were in it for all 3 games. My hope is that all of the Donaldson BS isn't creating a distraction, and that the spike in hurt/sick players this week goes away
  16. bkzwhitestrican
    They should have hit Cueto in game 1. Had some opportunities but didn't capitalize. In game 2 though Kopech was filthy, I actually thought the Yankees were going to get no-hit. If he stays healthy and can continue to control the strike zone like he did yesterday he's gonna be a top 5 pitcher in baseball.

    I'm sure you feel like how we felt during 2018. I kept expecting the Sox to stop winning but it never happened. TBD on if this continues for the Yankees. But I remember that feeling you speak of.
  18. bkzwhitestrican
    I feel like there's different sets of baseballs in play any given game. They have the deadened ones, the ones with higher seams, the ones that give the ball an extra 10 feet of distance off the bat, and maybe something new this season. And they'll randomly pick one to use in a game.
  19. bkzwhitestrican
    Yanks only need to play .500 ball the rest of the way to finish with 90 wins. I know the season isn't won in May, but a start like this sure makes the rest of the season a lot easier.
  20. bkzwhitestrican
    Also it's weird that I'm going up against the same team two weeks in a row. The schedule in general seems kinda odd, I play some teams 3 times this season and others only once.
  21. bkzwhitestrican
    It just reflects the reality of Yanks vs Sox this season
  22. bkzwhitestrican
    That ump should work on Altuve's injury. Win-win.
  23. bkzwhitestrican
    Peralta was big for us down the stretch last year, and besides that one bad outing against the O's he's been fine so far. I have more faith in him than Miguel Castro. And anyway he's like the #7 reliever in the BP so we don't need anyone great for that role. That said if they get a good offer for him they should take it because they're loaded in the BP, but I wouldn't just give him away. Injuries happen and he's good depth.
  24. bkzwhitestrican
    Holmes' stuff hasn't changed much since joining the Yankees. He just had no command until he got to NY (6.4 BB/9 in Pit vs 1.4 BB/9 in NY) and that's really been the difference. He's still only thrown 40 total innings with the Yankees, and its entirely possible he could revert back to his former "no-command" self.
  25. bkzwhitestrican
    Good times right now. Three sweeps in a row of bad teams, but now time to see if they can continue this level of play against playoff caliber teams.
