The Yankees now
Matt Carpenter through his first 28 games of 2022: .338 AVG, 11 HR, 24 RBI, 1.319 OPS
Barry Bonds through his first 28 games of 2000: .284 AVG, 11 HR, 22 RBI, 1.087 OPS
Makes you think..
If there’s a game 5 in the ALDS the Yankees and Guardians will have to play 4 games in a row (Fri-Mon) and then immediately travel to Houston/Seattle the next day. MLB did a real good job making this schedule.
Aaron Judge will miss batting practice tomorrow because he will be at a chiropractor, per sources. He has supposedly injured his back after carrying 39 players on it, roughly 8000 pounds.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said they have contacted the league about the situation with Judge last night. One potential concern Blue Jays seemed to have was where Yankees base coaches were set up.
“There’s boxes on the field for a reason,” Schneider said.
Bob Costas just said “one day Aaron Civale will be telling his grandkids about how he struck out the home run king at Yankee Stadium in the postseason”
Aaron Judge homered the very next AB
Good morning.
Every Yankees starter is in the Top 25 for ERA in all of MLB.
• Cortes (1.50): 1st
• Taillon (2.30): 11th
• Cole (2.78): 20th
• Severino (2.95): 24th
• Montgomery (3.02): 25th
1996: Yankees have a 21 y/o rookie shortstop from NJ start on Opening Day hitting 9th
2023: Yankees have a 21 y/o rookie shortstop from NJ start on Opening Day *probably* hitting 9th
Crazy.
3 and 4 were called strikes in the 9th inning with the bases loaded in a one run game
You guys just get worse and worse every year, for every team
@MLBUA
We will never forget that one game where Aaron Boone let Trevino and Loaisiga get 3 combined outs, let Peralta get 7, and then put in Schmidt to get the biggest outs of the season
