    Yankees 19-30 in their last 49 games.

    That's a really long time to be bad.

    This is the Boone era of Yankees baseball, he's done this essentially every season.

    Altuve hitting the home run just as the jackwagon announcer uttered the word "scandal" was priceless.

    Then don't don't give him anything to hit, it's not that complicated. Most other people seem to be able to get him out.

    I don't know what "beasting" exactly is, but getting back to your average career OPS is I guess one definition. I don't get why you'd think their lineup is "lethal". They ain't the '98 or '19 Astros or anything.

    Also, the same jackwagon announcer was far more excited on the Wells foul ball than he was for Altuve's ACTUAL homerun.

    Those Orange tops in Yankees Stadium remind me of the 2015 Wild Card game. Can't believe that's already 10 years ago.

    Not crazy about Chas starting. Would have liked Caratini in the line up but we got this

    He hasn't started in 10 days. I guess they could never start or play Chas again...

    This will be a good time for Valdez to give us 7 innings, hopefully even 8.

    Okert
    Sousa (only 16 pitches yesterday)
    King
    Abreu

    Appears to be the top 4 options today out of the pen.

    Fun fact: Bryan Abreu has an era of 0.73 against everyone else besides the Mariners (sigh).

    Man y'all keep dismissing this team. I get it, you hate them. I hate them. I hope they faceplant and don't even make the playoffs. But then there is the reality of the situation at hand that y'all chose to ignore.

    Judge is limited to DH now, and they want Stanton in the lineup vs the LHP. He's been working toward this for a couple of weeks...his first start in the field since September 2023
