  1. I remember when actual good Yankee teams were able to scratch out a few runs even against pitchers clearly better than Lugo. Pedro was career 11-11 vs the Yankees.

  2. Lugo still has a Stuff+ of 97. His RE24 is like 34 though, which is kinda insane. Dude is 50th among 59 qualified starters in hits allowed and 30th in BBs, but no one is scoring.

    He’s like the anti-Rodon who has great Stuff+ numbers but in all other ways is very much Carlos Rodon.

    1. If true, it is part of the package. Judge has missed a lot of games 2018-2023; 50 in 2018, 60 in 2019, 32 out of 60 in 2020, 56 in 2023.

  3. “That really is a nice-looking Yankee lineup. Please don’t suck against, Lugo, nice lineup!”
    Possible the most effective jinx ever!
    I mean, if you’re going to do a thing, do it well.

  4. Sure Lugo is having a good year, but not a Pedro year, and NOT this good.

    Katie Sharp This is the first game in Yankees history in which the lineup had:
    ✅0 walks
    ✅0 extra-base hits
    ✅14+ strikeouts

  5. At the mid way mark they were 52-29. Since then they are a slightly below 500 team. As a 500 team this is what you get – a win, a loss, with an occasional short winning streak and an occasional short losing streak. With some shut out wins and some shut out losses.

    The question is why is this only a 500 team?

    1. The same thing last year, but at least they could point to some pretty crazy injury losses then.

  6. Ragans is one of the best LHPs in baseball. Unless Gil pitches a shutout, we’re fucked. Note this lineup includes Rizzo, Trevi and Vertigo. Unfortunately the Martian is not good against LHPing.

    G Torres (R) 2B
    J Soto (L) RF
    A Judge (R) CF
    J Chisholm Jr. (L) 3B
    G Stanton (R) DH
    A Verdugo (L) LF
    A Volpe (R) SS
    A Rizzo (L) 1B
    J Trevino (R) C

    1. vertigo isn’t going to get a hit off of a lefty, how about moving jazz to left and giving berti a start since he hasn’t played at all.
