The Yankees lost 3-2 this afternoon. In their last three loses, the Yankees have lost by just one run. But close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post
"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
"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."

I think fuster asked somewhere about the 10 one-run games and how many runs the Yankees scored in each. In the 7 losses, it was 2 (twice), 3 (twice), and 4 (thrice). In the 3 wins, it was 1, and 4 (twice). So fuster is right, IIRC, that the problem in the one-run games is with the hitting. That is to say, they're not losing 8-7 or 7-6, but rather 3-2, 4-3 and 5-4.
how's Rodon doing?
seems to me that he's progressing well.
seems as though we should expect that if Schmidt is healthy and remains heathy he'll be a great improvement over Stroman.
might even turn out that Gil will return and prove to be a great improvement over Carrasco.
seems to me that Will Warren might turn out to not at all be an improvement over Cole.

More and more this is becoming true...
2025 Yankees : 19-14
2025 Yankees when Max Fried Starts = 7-0
All Other Games = 12-14
When Max fried doesn't pitch, this is not a good team.
Granted, Max Fried's games count. I get it, but the signs are there for trouble.
a horse grenade loss.
Schmidt was scratched. Yarbrough filled in admirably.
the Rollers did little right other than running the bases well. Wells could catch none of eight.
Volpe was shaken up but bestirred himself to stay in the game, but was a little shaky when rushing in an attempt at a double play.
the Yankees had the long ball, but failed to do some of the little things.
it goes that way sometimes
if neither Schmidt nor Volpe goes on the IL, it was merely a slightly annoying afternoon.
