@pamsson It May but they’re swooning — it’s a pattern + the article does explicitly mention the bottom of the order in addition to Judge.
And one great game could skew any number, that’s just math. I’m not here to make you a skeptic, but don’t pretend there aren’t concerns.
@pamsson What goal posts did I move? I said 5-9 from the rip in my first reply. And I never called them counting stats — but one exceptional game will skew wRC+ the same way having two of the best hitters in the AL put a veil over the team’s TOTAL fWAR.
@pamsson We all see the totals. They look great — game to game, different story. Does being 4th in runs mean you want to see Austin Wells, Ryan McMahon or possibly Anthony Volpe up with a playoff game on the line?
The Yankees are planning to call up OF Spencer Jones, their No. 6 prospect, per source. Jones has 11 home runs, 41 RBI and a .958 OPS in 33 games at Triple-A this season.
@BarstoolHubbs One thing I’ll never doubt is Cashman’s ability to find and develop pitchers. They’re not all hits, but if you find a young guy with the right stuff and let Blake cook.
