Yanks 2-10 when allowing 5+ runs.

Goes to my point... Outside of Max Fried games, the Yankees aren't winning enough. Not nearly.

They're now 12-15 in games Fried doesn't start.

I know so many like to say, "They're in first place!" Yup, they are.

But, I see them as a team that is better than the bad teams, but they're not a very good team overall. Sure, they'll get to the playoffs, most likely, but that's not because they're necessarily good, it's that they're less bad than the other teams.

MLB Teams with 19 or more wins:

19 - Yankees, Royals, A's, Phillies

20 - Guardians, Mariners

21 - Tigers, Cubs, Giants

22 - Mets, Padres

23 - Dodgers

the Dodgers have both strengths and weaknesses

the Yankees have both strengths and weaknesses

every team, every season has weaknesses.

which team is the oldest?

can the oldest team also be described as the most experienced?

is it a matter of perspective as much as a matter of fact?

"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."
