Game 131: Colorado (48-82) vs New York (76-54)

 

They have to play a rubber game -- AT HOME -- against the ROCKIES????????

Unfortunately DJ is back in the lineup. How can anyone justify letting him start a game?

Resting Wells again -- maybe they should see a doctor about why he needs so much rest. It's a shame to see such a young guy age so fast.

Soto needs to get hot again -- Nationals are next up!

Tovar, SS -- .271

Can we all please stop the "why is Trevino starting" nonsense? The answer is, IT'S A PLATOON. Trevino has a .686 OPS vs. lefties; not great, but for Wells, it's .529. Austin Gober is a lefty. That's why Trevino is starting today. If Boone were starting a guy with 150 OPS points worse than the alternative, we should be calling for his head.

1. "how hard would it be for you to check what Wells OPS vs LHP is since even as far back as mid May? June 1? since the day they first batted him cleanup?"


Very hard, at least for me. Baseballreference.com is my source for stats (along with Fielding Bible for DRS) -- and both being free, anyone here "could look it up," as Casey said -- and it doesn't have splits by time period, only by season and career. Feel free to compile those stats for time periods within a season by hand, looking at each boxscore. I'm curious myself, but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) have other things to do in my life. (Seeing Leaning Tower of Pisa today!)

maybe it wasn't entirely dumb that the Yankees didn't DFA Torres

he's been reasonably effective since becoming the lead-off hitter

TOO many Sundays, I have had to watch the Yankees on ESPN with their "mic'd up players while they are trying to play the field" stunt. Which I can't stand. To me, that is the equivalent of "texting while driving".

I was thinking yesterday, when a "not yet ready for the majors" Will Warren was being rocked by the Rockies, instead of putting a green "not quite ready for prime time" pitcher into a "replacement starter" role (in the event of injury, late scratch of scheduled starter, or a double header), why not try this guy, Luke Weaver? Weaver has years of experience as a starting pitcher for the Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Royals, Reds, and Mariners before the Yankees converted him into a reliever. Granted, he was not very good in all those years as a starter. But maybe, the tinkering by Yankee coaches that made Weaver reasonably successful as a high leverage reliever will translate into Weaver being successful…

Scattering the Ashes.jpeg

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post

The Least Among Them.png

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
