obviously jazz is to blame, but you could argue this is just as much on Chapman. Like it’s his entire job to communicate to Jazz there. his entire job.

the baserunning mistakes the Yankees have made today have real ripple effects that really affect this game. those mistakes mean Perez doesn’t have to throw at least 5-10 more pitches, which means he can go another inning without getting to the pen that you demolished last night

I don't agree with pinch hitting Goldschmidt here. I would much rather a bad lefty face Rice than a good righty face Goldschmidt.

cmon, something has to give

Need it, Max. Need this one, badly.

Max Fried has a 6.43 ERA in his last 6 games (Since 7/1)

Giancarlo Stanton is so fun to watch

Fried found something at the end there. Hopefully he can build on it moving forward

McMahon is hilariously smooth at 3B

Devin Williams will be fine, and will very likely end up being elite again soon. But he’s just been so bad this year, full stop. It’s really disappointing.

that looked bad but was actually a really, really impressive maneuver and decision from Jasson

comical

the Yankees should, on paper, very easily be able to score in the bottom half with the runner on 2nd. but somehow it feels extremely unlikely

-> Bednar is absolutely awesome, what a pickup by Cashman -> Absolute joke that I had arguments with people in the offseason who said Bellinger wasn't good defensively -> Judge needs to be better -> I like McMahon -> Rice is a positive story that isn't talked about enough

Fried has absolutely been unlucky during this awful stretch. He has also been bad, especially at mitigating damage. unfortunately, these things are not mutually exclusive.

ben rice is so unbelievably good at baseball

-> Caballero on your team rather than playing against you is such a breath of fresh air -> love what Jazz, Cabby, Martian are doing on the basepaths -> Luke Weaver -> interesting Bednar was coming in for a 3rd straight game! -> we weren’t crazy, this team has very high upside

I think there’s a major disconnect between what Yankees fans believe is going to happen with the MVP and what the human voters will vote. Feinsands article from today is just one example of that. there’s a decent chance from my estimation that Judge doesn’t win MVP
