What I don’t get is that the Yankees also messed up their rotation, in that Schlittler would have pitched this one and instead of the much tougher matchup tomorrow.
About the Author
Just now way the ball could fail to go at a hitter with RISP.
Amazing.
Don’t think you could hit the fielder on every try for this many RISP if you trained for it for years.
I am now officially tending to believe that Rice is not going to be what he was in the first 1/3 of the season. I wonder what his numbers are since his peak.
Whatever they are, they’re better than Wells.
Martian got away with a bad base running decision
It’s a mixed bag. If you’re aggressive, you make them have to make a play. A certain proportion of the time they won’t.
Wells left his home runs in Scranton.
NICE play!
What reactions to get that to first in a flash.
Wow.
So depressing to watch.
Something like 3-38 RISP since Saturday including tonight. Is that right?
It’s so very wrong, but… no, it feels wrong, too.
This offense is somnolent.
They also seem sleepy
That was some terrible swing Cody.
Well, two may be too many to overcome.
Good thing they fixed Wells at Scranton.
Another fine AB from Wells. 😏
Cody took his time to set and throw. Bingo.
Cool that we get a few good defensive plays to cheer for, given that actually scoring runs of our own isn’t really an option.
Weird.
Still unconvincing.
Jazz has actually been pretty good lately except for his BA.
Jazz wakes up.
He could get to 15-15 yet.
Blind, deaf, dumb, paralytic squirrel with no proprioception find a nut.
Don’t forget “fixed”. Arguably makes it more miraculous.
Wells done.
Jazz OPS last 15 games 910
Yankees take the lead then Detroit answers with back to back 90+ line drives.
It is, of course, not physically possible to have a scoreless inning after your offense miraculously actually scores runs.
So you can’t blame the pitchers or defense, it’s outside of their control.
Rodon couldn’t wait to give it back.
Too close to overturn
They won? How about that.
Volpe 14 for his last 30 (plus 5 walks). Is this his best stretch ever?
He did hit 293/812 in May 2024over 128 PAs. But in June he went 220/547.
Waldo 3-6 and is now hitting 397/967 for June. I’d like to see him replace Schumann.
