Can the Yankees stay hot until the end of September? Figuring out that mystery will be fascinating!

The Yankees have an easier schedule ahead of them. They must take advantage of it. You gotta win series or sweep teams like the White Sox coming up.

The Yankees, with the 2 additions they DID make are a better team than they were before they added those 2 players (Jazz Chisholm and Mark Leiter Jr). Although still a flawed ballclub, the Yankees have lengthened their lineup beyond Soto and Judge, as Wells has improved with mostly everyday play, plus the addition of Chisholm, plus Volpe and Torres have started to hit better, and eventually, Stanton will find his rhythm and timing and once he does, he can become dangerous again.


Add to that, that the Yankees schedule has become easier, PLUS, many of the other great teams in the MLB are also going through tailspins and injuries to key players causing their extended absences, plus the Yankees…

they had a really bad patch and lost twice as many as they won....... for a little more than a month.


but a team that remained a dozen games above ,500 and not more than two games behind in their division was never all that far gone.


they lost their fist baseman and catcher and LeMahieu appeared to be even more lost that those other guys


but they are far from lost if their pitching tightens up.

at ebb, the team has been allowing 4 runs/game and that must be reduced


the offense produces an average of 5 runs/game.......... and that seems to be increasing.


in their last loss, they scored 5

in the previous loss, they scored 7

Scattering the Ashes.jpeg

The Least Among Them.png

"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."
