Well, the Yankees labored...


It was a 7-7 game before a not quite big fly flew over Juan Soto's head and scored a few. And then... it happened again.


The Yankees have now lost back-to-back series.

Was at the game today, in the RF bleachers, so those 2 balls I was blocked out from seeing it. But it did look to me that Soto plays a step or 2 too far in. As I said about Andujar's D all these years ago, at some point, when these guys keep just missing the ball, is it the player's fault, or is it the defensive setup they have these guys in? If this is supposed to be an analytically driven team, then they need to see this and adjust accordingly.

The way games are managed in the MLB in this day and age.........Relievers are more important than starters. Because starters aren't going as far into games as they did in the past, effective releivers have become more critical than effective starters. Starters often pitch brilliant games, good enough to win, but then a whole army of relievers come in, one after the other, and it only takes one of those relievers to not have his "A" game that day and the reliever loses that game in which the starter pitched so brilliantly in. Unfortunately, there seems to be a severe shortage of quality releivers out there, so even the best teams in baseball are now suffering with a leaky pen.

Because you have all these one inning relievers, and the starters as a whole are not taught how to pitch to a lineup anymore, what the heck do you expect?

The relief pitching wasn't that good either. The Yankees should have picked up Drew Smyly when the Cubs put him on irrevocable waivers. No one picked him up off waivers, and he remains with the Cubs. He would have been an upgrade over Bickford and some of the other relievers on the team.


I would also have preferred if they didn't keep running Will Warren out there over this past month, when he was not quite ready for the majors. I would have preferred Luke Weaver, who at least, has many years of experience as a starting pitcher in the majors with many teams. Granted, he was not that good as a starting pitcher, but that was before Matt Bla…

I have no comment on Effross, except that Cashman likes other club's young players better than his own. This trade is easy to compare as it was a straight one for one , Wesnewski for Effross.


As for Bickford, he did enough in AAA to earn the first callup, but this time it was because Cashman has a need to have a fresh arm, no matter the cost. One problem though, when Bickford went down after the DFA, he did absolutely NOTHING to deserve this recall.

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."
