.@PatrickMahomes had a 20.5 strain on @whoop yesterday which is the equivalent of running a marathon or slightly harder for most people. Turns out going to the Super Bowl is hard work @bobbystroupe 😅
@Chris_NYY28@PEMdocResists Kind of redundant to keep caballero and Rosario on the roster unless Rosario can also play 1B on occasion. If everyone’s healthy and they can trust McMahon as a backup SS, I think Caballero gets sent down.
@Chris_NYY28 Hilarious that Kevin Abrams was leaking every bit of giants information for years and now the beat reporters have zero clue what this team is doing
@YankeesFanEarl Basically if a prospect isn’t an immediate superstar then you not trading him 3 years ago when these same people were calling him untouchable then you mishandled him
This whole thing feels similar to when the Yankees traded for Juan Soto and reporters were tweeting for like a full day about things that didn’t really matter to farm engagement until it was official. That being said if the giants fuck this up I’m going to freak out
Sounds like John Harbaugh & the Giants might take this deep into the night tonight, more likely tomorrow. Things are still OK. Hang in there. Still a lot to review in contract. John & Joe Schoen have gotten along. Can't see this unraveling. Both sides know way too much at stake.
@YankeesFanEarl I want this to happen but it would be objectively hilarious that the Yankees didn’t sign him in the first place because of Volpe and they just end up trading for the back half of his contract in exchange for Volpe
Would Aroldis Chapman ever play for the Yankees again?
“No way. Not even dead. If I were told that I was being traded to New York, I’d pack my things and go home. I’ll retire right on the spot if that happens. I’m not crazy. Never again … I dealt with a lot of disrespect there.”

@YankeesFanEarl I think the FA misses rank for me
1. Seager
2. Harper
3. Machado
Still think letting the Astros beat you out trading for Cole and verlander are the biggest mistakes of this era tho. Machado imo looks good now but idk if I agree with that given the team at that time
@YankeesFanEarl But it’s a “breath of fresh air” because 2 teams nobody cares about are in it! Not even gonna be dark for half the games and the first one is competing with Lions/Chiefs SNF lmao
@YankeesFanEarl Don’t think rice is a platoon bat in the future but they should lean into the platoons if they can get players to buy in. Get a RHH 4th OF, C, and platoon McMahon and caballero
I still don’t understand how MLB umpires don’t have any sort of accountability system. I don’t care about unions how can a group have complete and utter lack of accountability in their job? Why is this not asked about more?
I was interviewed for this a couple years ago. It's a project that has been in the works since after Saquon Barkley tore his ACL in 2020. Should be excellent because it wasn't always obvious he'd get back to being the No. 1 player in the NFL.
Couldn't agree more.
I don't care one bit about fairness. Give me SDP/LAD, BOS/NYY, CHC/MIL six times. Don't need to ensure the Rockies and Rays play every year or whatever.
@YankeesFanEarl I also think that even people who do acknowledge that these intangibles matter don’t emphasize how big of a difference they make. Like to them it’s some crazy statistical anomaly that Judge is horrid in the postseason instead of just admitting the pressure is probably too much
I don’t agree that they should’ve let judge walk but the discourse it’s started has outlined the issue with the way analytics are talked about. I’m an analytics guy but a lot of these accounts refuse to admit some things in sports can’t be quantified
@YankeesFanEarl 10-14 inning unwatchable ball game written all over it. Probably ends by Hamilton/narvaez bloop single and the Yankees having bases loaded in the bottom of the inning and can’t score
