  1. Leadoff walk, awesome. The ump definitely fucked him on a couple of those pitches, though. I think he shouldn’t be discouraged from trying to hit those same spots again. I honestly liked his approach.

    1. Does anyone else on the Yankees throw 100?

      Not counting Cole, no, I don’t believe so. Rodon can get close. So can Warren and Gil.

      EDITED TO ADD: Rodon DID hit 99.6 MPH this season.

  2. There was some bit about how Judge is 14 home runs away from being 4th on the Yankees all-time home run list, and, like, that’s definitely nice, but, well, I mean, he HAS been in the league for almost a decade now, ya know?

  3. That looked like it was just about as hard as Jazz could possibly hit a ball. And it was very well hit.

    I didn’t realize this, but Jazz’s barrel rate is 11th in MLB, at 11.2% of his PAs.
    Juan Soto is 9th at 11.4%.

  4. I think Schlitter has earned the right to go batter to batter in the sixth.

    Heck, forget “earned,” I think it’s just plainly in the Yankees’ best interest to keep him in the game as long as possible to reduce the amount of outs they’ll need from their awful bullpen.

  5. Schlittler might stick at the back end of a rotation. Has a good fastball, just has to keep his command, and also not get hurt.

    Dominguez might stick as a leadoff guy.

    I actually like this top of the lineup. Volpe and Peraza at the end are a black hole – inexorable suckage, past the point of no return – but at least Goldy and Wells haven’t crossed the event horizon yet.

    1. Williams was a stone cold killer in the ninth. And yes, Weaver looked very good in his inning and two-thirds. Maybe he really just needed some rest. Him being good again would be a true game-changer.
