The Red Sox were 11.5 games back on May 11. Since then, they’ve gone on a 10-4 run. They’re still 11.5 games back.

At 5:52 you say "that's not a f***ing hit ever in any league anywhere." HitTrax shows us otherwise. In MLB in 2023, batters hit .769 on balls with characteristics (EV, LA, distance) like those of that one. but it's not surprising that you wouldn't know what's going on in MLB.

The Yankees are the best team in the league, check this out. Record: 17-6 (1st in MLB).HR: 32 (1st in MLB).wRC+: 122 (1st in MLB).ERA: 2.69 (1st in AL).SLG: .420 (1st in AL).Runs: 109 (1st in AL).fWAR (pitchers): 3.9 (1st in AL).fWAR (batters): 4.9 (1st in AL). This is good.

Stroman has been pretty consistent as the first guy out of the dugout and not only do I love that, I don't feel like it's something I often see from pitchers. He's won me over.

Aaron Hicks is batting .182 with a .635 OPS in his last 14 games but the narrative that he is thriving in Baltimore has already been written, I guess.

Here’s the positive spin. So much had to go right for LA to even be in the game yesterday. Fan interference. Yankees failing to come through with runners on time after time. Defensive misplays. Even with all that, they were still an out away from losing. Forget it. Win tonight.

Thoughts on the Clay Holmes Situation. First, in blown saves in the 9th and extras this year, Clay has allowed a .281 xwOBA. Only 5 qualified hitters in MLB this year have an xwOBA worse than .284. So even when Clay blows a game, he is turning opposing batters into Sal Frelick.

Costas was a great fit to give the eulogy at Mickey Mantle's funeral. The problem is he announces playoff games like he's still giving the eulogy at Mickey Mantle's funeral.

There’s only one reason for Cashman to be this angry and only one reason for him and Steinbrenner to speak separately and have drastically different tones: there is a huge divide in the front office right now between Steinbrenner/Levine and Cashman, and Cashman is feeling an.

"Cora runs circles around Boone," they insist. Boone is 56-46 against Cora. Boone has a higher winning %. Boone has never had a season under .500, and only has 1 full season under 92 wins. Cora is working on a 3rd straight sub-.500 season and has only exceeded 92 wins once.

The offer the Yankees made to Yamamoto would've given him the second richest pitcher contract in MLB history. He has never thrown a pitch in Major League Baseball. They got outbid. To act like offering him 10/300 shows that they aren't adequately invested in winning is dumb.

Boone was right to go after Jomboy today over his criticism of Volpe. Is he a good hitter? No. Is he a bad hitter? Yes. Is he still a 3-WAR player 125 games into the season? Yes. Is Boone therefore right to call him a winning player? Yes. Is Jomboy wrong for disagreeing? Yes.

Because apparently this is in question. The ALE is the only division with 4 teams at .500 or better. It has the highest cumulative winning percentage in MLB. It is the only division with a cumulative winning percentage over .500 without its first place team.

What Gleyber Torres did offensively last year is actually kind of insane. His walk rate increased by 47%, his strikeout rate decreased by 35%, and he maintained basically the same slugging percentage (.451 to .453) YOY despite clearly prioritizing contact.

This isn’t even really that true. Arraez hit .314 this past season, but got on base less often than Isaac Paredes (who hit .236), Jonathan India (.248), Kyle Schwarber (.248), and Max Muncy (.232). There is quite literally nothing special about his ability to get on base.
I’m sorry this just dumb . I’ll take Arraez all day . Idgaf if he doesn’t hit 25 bombs . He gets on base consistently.

Austin Wells becoming a well-above average hitter (particularly for his position) and elite defensive catcher when people said he wouldn't stick at the position in MLB is going to singlehandedly destroy all the Yankees player dev failure narratives.

Anthony Volpe's bat speed on that double was 77.9 MPH. That ties his 8th-fastest swing this year. He has three batted balls today on swings of at least 75 MPH. That is the first time this season he has done that. THIS VERSION OF VOLPE RULES. KEEP DOING THAT.
