While the Yankees are mired in a deep slump, so have been the Mets, arguably to a worse degree. Given that, along with the pitching NYM lined up for the series, NYY’s showing has been as pathetic as you can imagine.

Where to throw a baseball—available options: 1. The correct base: 😤❌❌❌ 2. Aaron Judge’s face: 😁✅✅✅

This is quintessential “you show me a good loser, and I’ll show you a loser”. The Steinbrenner meme is massively overplayed, but Boone has forced my hand.

As the Yankees continue playing this horrid brand of baseball, i'm once again reminded of this fantastic post from Yankees Slut. There needs to be some serious soul-searching going on in the organization from ownership all the way down to the players.

The PR game: examining post-game comments from the Joe Torre era. Does this matter? Today a video is circulating on X of a Derek Jeter postgame interview during a rough stretch of the 2007 season. I was surprised this particular video gained traction, as it frankly read like any

Entering today, Aaron Judge had the 3rd highest wRC+ of all time (178) Among right handed batters? He’s number 1. This is the greatest right handed hitter of all time

Poetic that it happened to Soto 💋

If you have 5 minutes, Randy Wilkins, read this. It’s incredibly thoughtful and demonstrates the culture problem so many of us see with the Yanks. Yankees Slut is about as good as it gets.

Jomboy grills Aaron Boone about the Yankees' defense regularly allowing extra bases (particularly 1st to 2nd). Jomboy highlights team-level metrics & carryover from '24. Boone redirects to the individual level, and confirms that misplays are only addressed individually.

Boone grows incensed when asked about Anthony Volpe. Volpe in 2025 has seen major regressions in his defense (-3 OAA) and baserunning (-0.4 BsR). He is currently on pace for a 2 fWAR, which ranks 24th among 30 starting shortstops.

Post-season W-L Boone: 22-23 (.489) Regular Season: .581 Cora: 17-8 (.680) - *2 postseasons* Regular Season: .534 Roberts: 56-44 (.560) Regular Season: .626 AJ Hinch: 32-25 (.561) Regular Season: .531 Cash: 15-19 (.441) Regular Season: .539 Snitker: 24-23 (.511)

Jim Abbott pitched in the big leagues for 10-seasons with the Angels, Yankees, White Sox and Brewers. Born w/o a right hand his story is triumphant and inspiring. An ESPN documentary on his life airs July 13.

DEFENSE. MAKES. A DIFFERENCE. Jazz Chisholm flashes the leather at second, and Oswald Peraza makes a pretty play himself at third 🤩

2025 Aaron Judge has tied the Yankees record for HRs before the All-Star break with 34. That record was set by 2024 Aaron Judge… who broke 2022 Aaron Judge’s record.

My top-5 choices to replace Clarke Schmidt on the trade market: 1. Kris Bubic Far and away my top choice. Bubic is a completely different pitcher since returning from Tommy John surgery last year. Between his elevated velo and his brand new (lethal) sweeper, Bubic has

Austin Wells opened that stance up and he’s found success. Much better setup.
