Apropos for a Subway Series, Mets never got above ground in this game.

Five-run lead in the 9th, and De Los Santos walks two guys. So now you have to waste your closer in what had been a blowout.

if he goes for two pitches and one out tomorrow, he probably would be available if they need him.

but will they need him for both games?

having Loaisiga is pretty comforting.

with Williams and Cruz along, they should be well able to muddle through

Sure, Judge raised his BA a few points, but his slugging % and OPS both dropped!!

Now Soto's learned how to go back on a ball at Yankee Stadium???

"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."
