Yankees up 5-1 bottom of the 8th.

Good series win against one of the hottest team in the majors..

Cleveland might even lose one today too.

Yankees up 5-1 bottom of the 8th.

And the Guardians make it interesting in the bottom of the ninth, with three flyballs that all were within a couple of feet of the outfield wall.

Yep

2 out of 3 is a solid result here.

 

[gotime909]

Our 5 starters era are all between 2.22 and 3.29. That's insane.

Hell, our overall era(including bullpen) is 3.07, whip 1.14. Fetter is sooooooo underrated nationally.

I wonder what kind of time share Dingler and Rogers are going to have when Jake gets back. Dingler seems to handle the staff just fine, and his bat seems to be more imactful

Great problem to have

 

[biggunsbob]

Rogers is still great to have around. He is really good catcher. He used to hit homers. Wish he could find that stick again.,

 

[biggunsbob]

I just cant hate baez anymore. We have a lot of guys scuffling at the plate. But he seems like a really nice guy. I could be wrong but after watching the post game interview if he could start to hit anything the city would love him. . Man if he could just hit like 2018.

 

[biggunsbob]

So glad Malloy got some hits.

INFIELD CHAOS.
Totally Tigers

First came pitching chaos. Then in 2025, the Tigers have moved to infield chaos. Let’s chart the moves:

She said "did anyone see any of this coming?" My question, who didn't see it coming? Going into spring training, they had question marks at every single infield position. A lot of it their own doing.

Then this comment: "First base is the real puzzle. The Tigers can’t continue to toggle between Colt Keith and his 6-9 year contract and Spencer Torkelson who has only turned into one of MLB’s best hitters this year. Even with the DH option, this strategy won’t fully maximize the talent."

Right now, there shouldn't be any sort of question or "toggling." Maximize talent? Keith has been a turd this year, and Tork has earned the right to be the full time 1B, unless he falls off a cliff. Keith should be a prime candidate to be sent down when Vierling and/or Meadows gets back. His contract shouldn't be an issue either. He's only guaranteed a little more than what Javy makes in a year. He has plenty of time to figure it out.
