    1. I think the Brewers have a better pen than we do.

      Their pitching in general was very much on display in this series.

      At the same time, though, Murphy managed this shit like it was the World Series. Odd stuff from him.

  22. They were winning like crazy.
    That went south in a hurry.
    But if not for Boone, they’d have one at least one, maybe two of these games, and nobody’d be particularly bothered.

    1. Rosario 816 OPS but thou shall not pinch hit right on right even if Escarra is the guy up.

    2. Yeah, I was irked by two things that inning.

      One, as ALWAYS, the hitters didn’t allow Caballero to steal second.

      Two, yes, the idea that neither Goldy nor Rosario was batting for Escarra was fucking BONKERS. I’d take Max fucking Schuemann at that point!

  25. One pen is very good. One pen is just OK. A top heavy lineup doesn’t help, 207-218–259-111-195. Thirty nine strike outs in three games is sub optimal.

  33. Talkin’ Yanks Yankees rank last in MLB with 181 singles this season

    Braves have the best record in MLB and the most singles with 248

    Rays have the best record in the AL and the most singles with 247

    2. Yankees have 8th most strikeouts and 2nd most walks in the MLB. Yankees are 16th in BA at 239, Atlanta first at 270, Dodgers next at 265. Yankees are 5th in OBP at 333, Cubs lead at 347.

  34. So that 1-7 vs teams over .500 is actually on Baseball Reference.

    https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/2026-standings.shtml

    Of course it is 1-8 now. They don’t specify, but I’m guessing the difference between that and what mlb.com that was quoted yesterday is BR probably doesn’t adjust if the opponents records change. It is probably the teams record when the game was played.

    And yeah, it doesn’t really mean much this early. There is plenty of time for that to change… but it does fit the narrative around the team that was going around since last year. Beat up on bad teams, struggle vs good ones. That’s why they didn’t win the division last year. Tie breaker was head to head no?

    1. Actually, I think it’s pretty damned telling.
      WHY is it not indicative? There are enough games played that “the Yankees put them there” is only for a few teams on the verge, and even without the Yankees they’d be on the verge – let’s say, then, that they’re 1-7 vs. teams >450 instead of >500.
      That’s pretty much just as telling.
      I would take this number pretty seriously already.
      …
      Of course, you’d expect ANY team to play worse against better teams.
      Not by this much, though.
      This is a number to keep tracking.

    2. It’s stupid because the teams that are under .500 right now are there because the Yankees beat them. It is way too soon to look at this stuff.

      The Rangers and Mariner are almost certainly going to end the season over .500, and the Yankees are 6-3 against them. The Athletics might NOT finish the season over .500, so will losing 2 out of 3 to them not matter as soon as they fall to .500?. The Marlins took two out of three against the Yankees, but they’re currently under .500. If they go on a hot streak, do those losses mean more then?

      It’s all nonsense this early in the season.

      For instance, had the Yankees swept the Brewers, the Brewers wouldn’t have been over .500, and then the wins apparently wouldn’t have mattered.

      The important thing to note is that they got swept, which is not good. It’s not good on its own, not because of any other team’s record on May 10th.

    3. I took that into account (the “Yankees put them there” argument).
      Twice.
      First of all, if it’s the record at the time the game were played (as in “BR probably doesn’t adjust if the opponents records change. It is probably the teams record when the game was played”), then that argument is simly immediately irrelevant.
      And even if it’s based on records constantly adjusted, the Yankee games still hardly REVERSED opponents’ records. Those teams were CLOSE to being oover/under 500. So just move the barrier from >500 to >450 ( or from <500 to <550) and you're surely there.

  35. When do we find out that Rice actually broke his hand in three places and needs surgery and will be out for the remainder of the season?

  36. Getting swept sucks, but they swept the Brewers to start last season and the Brewers went on to lead MLB in wins. With 2 timely hits they could have taken 2 of 3 on the road against a good team. I’m going to hold off on panicking until at least Wednesday. If they get swept by BAL, then I’ll panic.

  37. No Cabby.
    NYY Lineup
    BAL Lineup
    T Grisham (L) CF
    B Rice (L) 1B
    A Judge (R) RF
    C Bellinger (L) LF
    J Chisholm Jr. (L) 2B
    R McMahon (L) 3B
    S Jones (L) DH
    M Schuemann (R) SS
    A Wells (L) C

    Jose Caballero is out of the #Yankees lineup as he deals with an issue with his right middle finger. He hurt it diving back into the bag yesterday. He will undergo an MRI. He said he does not believe it is fractured. SURE!

    1. any new yorker can tell you that a cabbie is nothing without a middle finger.

    2. I believe him.
      Shattered into a thousand separate pieces, after all, is not “fractured.”
