i do expect that Judge will get back in sync. we did, however, see him struggle at the end of the 22 season and was ineffective in the playoffs. if that history is repeated... well I guess I dont need to say anything else


Gleyber on base 2x today

Wells on base 2x today

Soto on base 2x today

no hits from Judge or Stanton


If Judge provides his normal performance, we probably score 5 or 6 runs today. maybe it starts some type of avalanche and we put up an even bigger number


Stanton probably did hit the hardest ball of the day. i think it would have been the only ball to hit the OF wall if Bellinge…

it was caught only because of an unfavorable wind.


and you might need to consider a couple of other things:


the Yankees had no need to score more runs than they did on this day

and

they have just won consecutive games in which they score but seldom and without benefit of a HR.

the pitching was superior......and the starters well rested


Cole and Schmidt will go into the playoffs with fairly fresh arms

the prof figured it out

your offense can be a muted and still effective

if the pitching staff smothers the opposition's hitters.


two or three runs are a whole lot better than too much of nothing

Either the Yankees have excellent pitching.....Or the Cubs currently have a lifeless offense. Probably a combination of both in this series.

Let Cortes finish the game. Screw the so-called formula.

"Screwing the so-called formula" could be part of Boone's "getting creative" with the bullpen.

well we have seen Nestor have trouble before. he does fall off toward 3b and i do not believe Nestor would do very well in a foot race. very good throw by Rizzo and nice catch by Nestor

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."
