Amazon Prime just showed a stat that the Yankees have won 17 of their first 22 series. They did that in 1928, 1932, 1939, 1998 and 2022. The first four were all World Series winners. But it's the utter collapse of the '22 team that haunts all us fans today.
Cody Poteet has been a pleasant surprise. With the win tonight, he is now 3-0. And before giving up those 2 runs tonight, he had a nice long scoreless innings streak.
11-6 games shouldn't feel like nail-biters.
Eeeesh, Boone has to waste Luke Weaver in a 6-run game? Where's Turd? This is his chance to shine.
Get polished, even.
How is it that a Major League pitcher cannot throw strikes with a 7-run lead? What a gutless punk Kahnle has turned into.
