Schlittler spent his evening steadily – and seemingly without effort – firing fastballs at 100/101. He spotted his pitches extremel...

Game 2 was packed with no less tension, elation, anxiety, relief, and terror as Tuesday's opener. Boston manager Alex Cora stayed with starter Brayan Bello for only 28 pitches and ended up using six bullpen arms. The Yankees slipped home a run against Garrett Whitlock in the eighth and ...

Nick Sogard sprinted from first to second base in the top of the seventh inning as Aaron Judge ho-hummed the ball back to the infield. That explosive hustle (which Sogard had shown back in the third when he tagged and took second on a fly to center) put Boston runners at second and third, with one out. Pinch-hitter Masataka Yoshida singled to center on the first pitch he saw. Two runs scored and the Yankees' 1-0 lead was gone. That ...

Yeah I was only doing bats. Gore is the only arm that I think deserves talking about in terms of a long-term signing. I like Lord and Ferrer but relief pitching is notoriously fickle, neither of these guys is lights out (or likely to be that) so they just feel very replaceable and not something you gamble money on keeping past age 30. As arms go Parker and Irvin are nothing to hold on to. I mean I guess if they want to be REAL reasonable and sign for cheap so they don't have to move...&n...

Yankees Will Play Closer Role 'Night By Night' After Devin Williams' Latest Meltdown
Greg Joyce, Post
When the Yankees acquired two closers at the deadline, they recommitted to Devin Williams as their ninth-inning guy.
Less than a week later, that job is more up for grabs.
A night after Williams blew a save and gave up a run for the fifth time in his last seven outings, Aaron Boone indicated he would be more fluid with who his closer is on a give...

Hey baseball fans! Thus far into the abridged 2020 MLB season, it seems that former and present members of the Colorado Rockies (DJ LeMahieu and Charlie Blackmon) are some of the best hitters in baseball in terms of batting average. DJ is now on the Yankees, but when he played a mile above sea level, he did, in fact, win a batting title. But why are hitters on the Rockies so good? The answer is simple, and I kind of already hinted at it when I said "a mile above sea level." That's right: it's ...
