Joining in progress!
Very nice catch Alex
Nestor not looking nasty this inning.
Is Volpe going to start hitting again in time to flop in October?
That was one lame bunt attempt.
Four pitch inning! WTF?
Ever notice how often a catcher makes a great throw to second to pick a runner off and then leads off the next inning and homers.
Volpe needs a helmet with straps like football players wore in the 40s
DJ puting it in the air
Nice catch by Judge, taking away an HR and then doubling the runner off first.
Speaking of Judge. Just a reminder that between 2018-2020, the Yankees played 384 games, and Judge missed 142 of them. And I WILL NOT mention the lousy Dodgers Stadium in 2023 robbing him.
The Blue Jays have been on such a tear lately that I was, like, “Wait, do we have to worry about them?” and then I saw their record, and I realized, “Nope.”
I wonder what ruoco would fetch on the block. a lh batting practice fence?
Judge needs to learn how to pitch just to fuck with Ohtani.
Love this idea!
This idea for President!
lol
I’d take him out
Bizarro game
The offense is all DJLM, Volpe, Verdugo (okay, and Gleyber)

Does anybody else have to constantly relogin? Used to happen only on Safari, now Chrome also
Only every few weeks on Firefox.
Used to be that way also on Chrome until a couple of days ago.
constantly
Yay, win.
I enjoy soft schedules that remain, somehow, loss inducing
forecast is a lotta red ink, y’know whaddi mean???
(losses incoming for the uninitiated)
Boston now 5 out of the third! wild card. iPad just autocorrected me from Boston to Sotomayor.
witt had a good day, doh
Witt has 50 less wRC+ than Judge; 224 for Judge, Witt at 174 (Soto 186)

witts defense and baserunning have been sublime, whereas judges have not been. though judge has like a half war lead.
I’m just concerned bc witt has 3 vectors to gain wheres judge has, um, 1, and 2 ways to lose ground
Nobody looks at base running for the MVP; wRC+ is a better metric than WAR, which has always been a shaky metric on the defensive side.
I, um, wholeheartedly agree. should there be any bbwaa witness, you should, too.
How does Witt, Jr. have that many ABs? He has more than anyone else in the first 5 on that list. First 10. First 15! Judge plays every day, near the t op of the order, but he has 60 fewer ABs. Does Witt, Jr. not get walked?
that sounds like rays propaganda, my loyal petrus
also, my prize acquisition, kopech, is doing well…
1/2 game out of best record in baseball. Amazing.
I like Yankees vs bad and Orioles vs good
no love for wells in Roy race this far. bombaclot
If we go 500 from here on out we will win 93 games and lose to Houston in the ALCS.
