World Series Game 1: Yankees (0-0) vs Dodgers (0-0)

Cortes is in, and Berti is out!

This is what the Yankees are paying Cole, Judge, Rodon, Stanton, and Soto for.

But still, the Yankees will need major contributions from others.

Can the Yankees stop Ohtani?

Can Rizzo generate any power?

Is it true that Boone called the bullpen and Harkey said that Hill just bounced a curve ball?

Why put a pitcher in that spot when he hasn’t pitched in what, a month?

Gleyber's ball was not going out. No way.

Nestor was the wrong choice. I explain this on my podcast. He hadn't pitched in a month. Hill had pitched well.

Nestor was the sentimental choice, not the smart choice.

This isn't Judge shaming. It's speaking the truth. Judge has missed a lot of pitches right down the middle. It's not like he's faced all-star pitchers either.

"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."
