ALWC 3: Yankees 4, Red Sox 0

Red Sox - 000 000 000 - 0  5  2 Yankees - 000 400 00x - 4  8  1 "I guess the Yankees are bound to beat us in the playoffs every 22 years or so."  – Petagine in a Bottle (SoSH) Cam Schlittler's pitching performance (8-5-0-0-12, 107) was the only story worth telling from the Yankees' 4-0 win in the deciding game of the ALWC series. Schlittler spent his evening steadily – and seemingly without effort – firing fastballs at 100/101. He spotted his pitches extremel...

ALWC 2: Yankees 4, Red Sox 3

Red Sox - 002 001 000 - 3  6  0 Yankees - 200 010 01x - 4 10  1 If Thursday's Game 3 ends up being as evenly-matched as the first two games, fans of both teams will be completely exhausted. 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 ...

Schadenfreude 365 (A Continuing Series)

UPDATED: Another Boone Blew It  Lament, Running on Judge's Rag Arm, & 2 Pics Yankees Staring At Unsettling Red Sox Reality With Season On Brink Mike Vaccaro, Post In an eyeblink, they are toe-tips-to-the-brink. In an eyeblink, the Yankees are looking at the potential of a postseason run that could be over after about 27 hours or so.

ALWC 1: Red Sox 3, Yankees 1

Red Sox - 000 000 201 - 3 8 0 Yankees - 010 000 000 - 1 7 0 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 ...

With the Red Sox and Yankees set to square off in a best-of-three Wild Card series in the Bronx beginning Tuesday night, it feels like an appropriate time to revisit the noteworthy trade the two clubs made at the Winter Meetings last December. Just hours after pulling off a blockbuster five-player trade with the White … Continue reading "How did former Red Sox pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz fare in first season with Yankees organization?"

Oh about Gore

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...

Monday Texas 8, DAAAYANKEESLOSE 5 (10) 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...

The Coors Effect 8/13/20

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 ...

I don't think I really talk about how I got involved with the game much, but it's a story worth telling.
