obviously Schlittler was not as good today as the first time out. he threw plenty of pitches, but the Jays are going to do that to basically anyone (unfortunately), at least as long as they keep hitting 12-15 foul balls every inning


that said, I liked the way he looked. honestly, I see very little possibility for the Yankees to get a better starter at the deadline. i have said all along they could trade Schlittler as long as they get a good starter back in some trade

well who would be better?

de Grom and Eovaldi- becoming doubtful either is available

Lugo- this is probably the one guy with a good chance of going, but if he IS the…

i am not sure who the BETTER pitchers would even be?


I see 1 guy who is more than slightly likely to be available and who definitely improves our rotation- Lugo. other teams are MUCH more desperate for starting pitching then the Yankees are. therefore they likely pay a much higher price than NYY will be willing to pay


i still believe we need to pick someone up. an economical option. i have no idea who will be available, but if we cannot add a better starter that means we cannot have any more injuries (but that for me is the reason we must add someone even if it is just for depth). it means our playoff rotation will be

he scores.

he's git to be standing a step from second base while he waits and there's no question that he scores when the ball gets to the wall.


he looks slow and pudgy but he's not slow

After the second Volpe error in consecutive games led to Toronto tying it up, I thought for sure New York would find a way to lose, most likely in extra innings by being unable to move and score the ghost runner.

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

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."
