Cole has to be Cole in full flower,

Rodon has to be good and tough and mix it up well

Gil has to be indefatigable

and

Schmidt better get well soon

As poorly as the Yankees have been playing over these past two months, the most amazing thing of all is that the Yankees are STILL in first place.


With how poorly the Yankees played, the Baltimore Orioles SHOULD have pulled away and started running away with the division. But they didn't. That speaks volumes of the state of the game of Major League Baseball today. All of the REALLY GOOD teams are also playing poorly, losing series, and often being swept by teams that are not so good. By having the same exact record as the Yankees, the Orioles have also been playing poorly and have looked awful in a lot of games. Before the Yankees won 2 o…

Blake never understood or clicked with Montgomery, and Gray was an odd duck. He was before this pitching guru group, but Cashman already had the Yankees be anti-FB, but he was a decent pitcher in the road grays, with an ERA of about 3.51 (I worked it out back then), with a pinstripe wearing home ERA of about 7.11, at some point in September 2018. But I hate this anti-FB crap, always have. Oh, what made Monty so much better? Maddux had him basically scrap his cutter for more FB usage.

The one thing I can't stand is the continuous comments game after game that the other team is making the Starting Pitcher work. Well, at what point is it a coaching issue? It's more than just this year that foul balls are an issue. Can one of their pitching gurus come up with something, or am I asking too much because this is a baseball issue, not one of analytics?

"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."
