    Lol you sure you love it? Sox starters have a 6.37 ERA since June 12th (when MLB said they planned to enforce these rules).

    3 HRs covered up their shortcomings in situational hitting. But the Yanks had multiple chances to blow the game open and failed each time. It was one of those games that felt like the Yankees were killing them but then you look up at the scoreboard and they're only up by one. And of course that came back to bite them. Wade's defense didn't help Loaisaga either (bad throw to 1st would have been the second out and, and then the following batter hit an easy grounder that he hesitated on and got no one out).

    0-10 with RISP. That's all you need to know about that game.

    I'm gonna have to win like 8 outta the next 10 weeks to have a shot at the playoffs. Should be easy.
  5. bkzwhitestrican
    Can't remember the last singular play with so many bad baserunning mistakes. That was embarrassing, but awesome for us!
  6. bkzwhitestrican
    Only difference is that Bird was a real prospect. But yes also similar situation.

    Maybe Ford will become the new Choi. Both Quad-A, lefty first basemen who had small measures of success but couldn't stick around with the Yanks. I won't be mad if Ford turns things around though, if he has a chance to play elsewhere he should take it since he's almost 30.

    Crazy ass series so far. Who needs pitching.

    It's not like the Yanks aren't capable of going on a nice run with their current team. They had a stretch where they went 23-9 while winning series against Houston, Tampa, and Chicago. But for whatever reason they get into these funks where seemingly everything goes wrong for them. I think they should stand pat at the deadline and either they figure things out and make the playoffs, or they continue to flounder and Boone (hopefully) gets canned.

    Ohtani (Pitcher) for Cruz?
  11. bkzwhitestrican
    Probably because it's the Twins. They were mathematically due to win a game against us. If we had lost like this to the Sox/Rays/Astros though I'd definitely be enraged.
  12. bkzwhitestrican
    Not much to say about this game. Yanks controlled the whole game, but Chapman didn't have anything tonight. It happens.
  13. bkzwhitestrican
    Nice bet, I'm sure that was a great adrenaline rush for you.

    What should be the takeaway from this article? To me the change in the baseball is probably the single biggest reason that the offensive numbers have plunged leaguewide. I'm sure pitchers using foreign substances is contributing as well, but it's not like this is the first year that pitchers started using it. They were using them in 2019 when the league wide HR record was shattered. Getting a better grip on the ball can only help you so much, but making the ball heavier and making the seams more pitcher-friendly seem to coincide with what is happening this season.

    Cole's spin rates were more in line with his 2020-21 averages yesterday, but still slightly down. I don't know much about this stuff but I'm guessing slight variations between starts is normal, same as how velocity can vary game to game.
  16. bkzwhitestrican
    The MLB is always three steps behind on these issues. How long have they known about pitchers using various substances to improve their grip? It's been a universally known secret that just about every pitcher uses something to this effect. Rather then set rules for what is and what isn't acceptable, they just let it slide. But now that pitchers are dominating and it's making MLB look bad, they're putting the onus on players even though MLB has been allowing them to use these substances with no repercussions for decades. It's basically the same thing that happened with steroids, just look the other way until the issue comes to a head, and then blame the players.

    Nothing like playing the twins to make ourselves feel better.
  18. bkzwhitestrican
    Odor is still on the team because he costs $0 for the next two seasons. That matters more than performance to the front office.
  19. bkzwhitestrican
    Nobody drops out of contention in the first week of June. Still 100 games to be played. But if the offense continues to severely underperform then this team has no shot at turning things around.
  20. bkzwhitestrican
    The results were good for E-Rod, but he left a lot of pitches over the middle of the plate. Fortunately for him nobody on the Yanks can hit.
  21. bkzwhitestrican
    Nothing untrue there.
  22. bkzwhitestrican
    Offensive woes are cured. Chris Gittens has been called up to be the right handed version of Mike Ford.
  23. bkzwhitestrican
    True, I'm hoping that we can somehow skip Mike King's start.
  24. bkzwhitestrican
    Yeah in LIC. My wife went to the supermarket and got caught as it started coming down, so she hid out in the car for an hour hah. Looks almost sunny now.

    Huge downpour in NYC right now. Might end up with a double header
