Nice 5-2 win to give Yanks a 3 game sweep of a decent Tigers team.   Seems like Judge may be warming up finally.

 

Despite not having Gerrit Cole in the rotation the Yanks lead MLB with 23 games pitched where they've held opponents to 3 runs or less.

 

Yankees are also second in MLB in games of scoring 5 runs or more despite very disappointing starts for most of the hitters in lineup.    And being shut out a shocking 5 times already.   And being on pace for an MLB record amount of hit into double plays and being just woeful on the bases so far.

 

In general,  I've found the quality of offense in MLB to continue to be very disappointing this season.   The league seems to be being dominated by a bunch of no-name relievers and I don't see how that's a good thing.    It's past time to get an automated strike zone.   We've seen that the automated zone has forced pitchers to throw strikes when used in MiLB and significantly raised ERA's.

Ok @BADOLBILZ it’s credit where it’s due time.  IMO the biggest difference between the 23 and 24 Yanks is obviously Soto whose presence has vastly improved their lineup…..semi-predicatable for anyone.  But…..where you were right was pitching development.  I didn’t buy it last year but Schmidt and especially Gil ‘s results can’t be denied.

Why is it controversial? He never scored.

the NY Yankees are a great team with a very storied past I dare say their fan base is as big if not bigger than the Bills. I see their hats

 

being worn everywhere. Is it a team or fashion choice?  I say fandom . Having said that there are 3 teams right off the top of

 

my head that people either love or despise. Those being the Dallas Cowboys, The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, AND the NY Yankees.

 

Once a team has reached and achieved so many championships the bitterness and just dislike flows deep.

 

. I am a Fan of one of those teams. So I live this premise.  Domers are as diehard a bunch as you will find. And they are Legion as well . Their fans? I think overall a pretty cool bunch

 

The Cowboys  I need not elaborate we all know why they are despised. For reasons stated above and especially their fans.

 

And Jimmy Johnson. Jerry Jones? blech

 

The Yankees ABSOLUTELY hit the trifecta of obnoxiousness  for all the same reasons IMO.

 

  Congrats on your great team. I am not a hater type person. I don't hate em like em or really care about baseball.

 

Just sayin' a few Sunday thoughts.
