"Fun" fact: last year the #Yankees had almost $100m in salary contribute to negative WAR. They paid $100m to literally lose games against league average (WAR in yellow).
@andrew@baseball And somehow the thing that sticks out to me is giving Franchy Cordero a million. Everyone else had some sort of track record beforehand.
Watching this on tv but not a lot of #Tigers faithful at #CoPa to see them face the #Yankees on this Monday night. Young Olson is fighting both the pitch clock and his control in the 1st. #RepDetroit#Detroit
Watching the #Yankees v. #Tigers game and remembering my grandfather telling me the dirt track from home plate to the pitcher was to encourage the batter charging the mound.
The #Yankees#Rizzo injury is no joke, concussion in May and he's still waking up feeling hung over? Had he been telling the team that and they sent him out to play anyway? Yikes.
As is the norm these last few years, the #Yankees will make effectively 0 moves at the deadline. I expect some kind of perfunctory nonsense, but nothing to actually bring meaningful change.
We'll hang our hats on the return of Cortes and some vague notion of a bunch of "slumps" snapping. Cool, cool, cool.
How long until someone from #Yankees brass says something along the lines of the ultimate deadline move they can make is getting their lineup healthy and hitting?
Here's a fun bit, #Stanton has been above replacement-level exactly 1 year out of the last 5.
In WAR, #Volpe is behind only #Judge and #Cole on the season. That sounds cool, but ... he's slashing .210/.286/.374. Those numbers shouldn't be third in anything on a competitive team.
The #Yankees have 2 hits and no runs through 5 innings against a rookie who had a 6.94 ERA coming in. If Yankees not named Judge do not hit, teams are not going to pitch to the one who is named Judge.
@pjaymac I’m convinced if they get Bellinger he will crater again. Whatever they’re doing with everyone but Judge, they need to stop. Someone is going to swing and have their head fall off.
