And?

 

 

They matched up like the best team in baseball.

 

They put up a .692 winning % in their toughest stretch of the season.    

 

.692 is higher than any winning % in baseball other than their own.

Both of these teams would be better off not to have to face each other in the post season. But it feels like they are on a  collision course.

 

I wouldn't want it any other way.

 

Red Sox in the divisional

Astros in ALCS

Dodgers in the WS

 

That would be my ideal lineup of opponents I'd like to beat.

Overall not a bad weekend getting the split in this 4 game series. It sucked getting no-hit on Saturday. It looked like that would happen again yesterday. But Stanton, DJ, and Judge all go yard for an exciting comeback win.

A Yankees vs Dodgers WS would be the networks dream. Two biggest markets playing one another = ratings gold.

It was actually kinda' fascinating seeing how long the hitless streak ran.   Both games were close enough for a no-no to turn into an oh-no in 10 pitches or less for the Astros.........and the second one did.

 

I'd like to see the Yanks address the lineup with another hitter who can actually get hits when needed and move Gallo or Hicks out.   Benintendi is an oft-mentioned option.   He's not great but should be a cheap add for some team and can get hot and hit .330 for a few months and ultimately be a high 700's OPS guy which is a lot better than the .630 Hicks and Gallo have been running out there.   Also Carpenter should be platooning with Donaldson at this point too.  With Gleyber possibly, unfortunately out for a while maybe Carpenter gets some at bats.  "Carpington".......as Carlos called him one game........ has played well enough to warrant a chance to show that he can't do it on a regular basis.   Hopefully Donaldson doesn't turn into the next Hicks as the guy that has to play just because of his contract status.

Count the New York Yankees as one of the many entities lined up to celebrate the late Jerry Garcia’s upcoming birthday. August 1 will mark what would have been the legendary artist’s 80th birthday and to celebrate, the Yankees are breaking out the bobbleheads. The first 1,000 fans to purchase a special event ticket for that night’s game against the Seattle Mariners will receive the collectible Garcia bobblehead figurine, adorned in a Yankees jersey, pinstripes and all. Portions of the ticket sales will also benefit the Grateful Dead’s longtime non-profit, Rex Foundation.

Carpenter has earned more playing time. I get why he was brought in but he can contribute much more than they’re allowing him.

 

Gallo is lost right now. Bring up anybody that isn’t an automatic strike out.

Will the Yankees allow the bobblehead to have a beard?

Nice work by bullpen to defeat Red Sox 7-6........Donaldson starting to come around recently.........Aaron Hicks has almost as many extra base hits last 3 games as he had in the prior 78 or so.

Had a slow start but has been playing great for the last month and a half.  Leading league in stolen bases, hitting for power, playing excellent defense.   Had a walk-off HR to clinch a playoff spot (league has a first half of season winner).   His average is quickly moving up.

[Greg S]

Nice win last night against the Sox. 60-23. 15 games up on them in the standings.
