I know Soto and Judge are the 2 best athletes in NY but neither has done much of anything in ‘26. You can’t upgrade the NYK starting 5 and not downgrade the injured baseball superstars.

[John Jastremski @john_jastremski]

On our last pod, we finalized the Top 15 Ny Athletes list for 2026. Have at it. There was no way a member of the title Knicks starting 5 was getting left off!!!

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

@BigBlueVCR We were set to open Joe Robbie in ‘87 but the strike wiped it out

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

The preseason is more important than clowns like this will have you realize. Dudes are already getting hurt all over the place in September because they don’t play in August. You can’t hit the ground running, you have to build up.

[Ryan Paganetti @RyanPaganetti]

Was 72 preseason yards worth it?

Jeremiyah Love got 14 touches against the Raiders. He finished with 72 yards and a high ankle sprain.

I found 74 confirmed incidents of NFL running backs suffering high ankle sprains over the past 20 seasons, so I looked at what happened next.

The median return time was 29 days.

During the first three games back:

• EPA per carry dropped by 0.08
• Rushing success rate fell from 42.0% to 37.8%
• The percentage of runs gaining at least 10 yards fell from 12.0% to 9.7%

There is also the risk of the workload itself. Using the general NFL running back injury rate, 14 touches works out to about a 2.7% chance of an injury, or roughly 1 in 37. The chance of an injury associated with missed time is about 1.6%, or roughly 1 in 62.

Those rates are not specific to the preseason, but they put the decision in perspective.

The Cardinals got 72 yards in a game that did not count. Now they may lose weeks of availability and could still get diminished production when Love returns.

That is the real cost of those 14 touches.

Get over yourself. The Indiana Irrelevants aren’t on the radar in the East.

[LakeShowYo @LakeShowYo]

Tyrese Haliburton felt DISRESPECTED by the NBA for scheduling his first game vs the Pelicans on the road 💀

Some clowns voted for this dude to win MVP last year.

This is the type of crap nerds come up with when they choose a side of an argument. It’s crystal clear to those of us who lived through it that Maddux consistently underperformed in October compared to his reg season brilliance.

[Christopher Sean @Ty4191]

Maddux’s supposed postseason decline is 3.16 ERA to 3.27 ERA over only 198 innings- roughly one starter season- against disproportionately strong competition.

Pitching outcome components such as HR rate and XBH rate require roughly 1,300–1,450 batters faced to reach even conventional stabilization thresholds, while BABIP requires about 2,000 balls in play.

A 0.11 ERA difference in a sample representing less than 4% of Maddux’s career innings cannot establish a repeatable ‘playoff underperformance’ skill.

And…if tiny postseason samples prove clutch ability, Maddux’s 2.09 World Series ERA would prove the opposite of your argument.

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

Sing it. This is also Year 1 for me in zero FFLs for the first time since ‘95. I can’t wait to not care.

[FredMinnick @FredMinnick]

This is my first season in, gosh, 25 years that I will not have played fantasy football. I quit all my leagues, including one I've been in for 22 years. It stopped being fun, and I really don't enjoy football like I used to. Anybody else experience this?

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

He definitely could be laughing at himself. That being said, he was never a ‘good major leaguer’.

[Max Kellerman @maxkellerman]

Feel bad for Volpe; seemed to peak as a good major leaguer in his early 20’s, and has been declining past couple years. To challenge twice in the first inning of a minor league game is desperate. To lose both challenges is brutal. I think he’s laughing at himself.

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

I thought PS had some insane workout regimen

[Dan Clark @DanClarkSports]

Paul Skenes and Livvy Dunne at the beach in Miami.

Skenes is simply not in shape for a pro athlete. In fact, it is not even close. IMO this cannot be helping his performance.

My question - is he fully committed and doing all he can to perform the best he possibly can?

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

They also ruined the kickoff. Devin Hester wouldn’t even make a team today.

[Cam @42Cyc]

The new kickoff rules ruined elite passing seasons man.

We might never see 5K yards again 💔

[Neil Keefe @NeilKeefe]

Trent Grisham is 6-for-55 leading off a game.

Keep the lineup as is. No need for change.

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

@Griff1624 Agreed. But we’re small market now so we have to play the guys who make the most money

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

Grisham is so tired as the leadoff hitter. Yanks are so unimaginative

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

Not all 9, but these are my thoughts exactly. Except Boone is just following orders.

[Yankees Analytics Nerds @YankeesNerds]

In years past, if I had to watch the Yankees blow a massive division lead to the Red Sox, I’d be yelling, cursing people out, demanding everyone be fired and all that.

Right now, I feel nothing. That’s what 9 years of Cashman and Boone have done to me. What’s the point?

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

Mega yachts don’t go for $20M. $200 million maybe.

[Dov Kleiman @NFL_DovKleiman]

Heartbreaking: The legendary Tom Brady was seen all alone riding his $20 million mega yacht around Miami.

Brady is currently single, and his children live with his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, and her husband, Joaquim Valente.

Money doesn't equal happiness 😔💔

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

The Yanks could very well be dumber but they also just don’t care enough. If they brought in a new front office with the same budget they’d win more consistently in October. Cashman is lost.

[Max Kellerman @maxkellerman]

It’s not mainly about the spending. They are smarter, too. When they see an elite level player, they’re willing to pay the price. Franchises like the Yankees aren’t because they’re dumber and also lack the guts.

[Shaun Morash @ShaunMorash]

I don’t care if Camilo Doval goes on a run in Pittsburgh and finds something

Was never happening here. Occupied a roster spot far too long

See Ya

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

It’s called pitching instead of throwing.

[Codify @CodifyBaseball]

98+ MPH pitches thrown by Paul Skenes in each of his 78 career big league starts:

32, 38 34, 30, 46, 42, 32, 33, 21, 32, 21, 44, 22, 23, 14, 24, 30, 33, 40, 35, 31, 21, 11, 19, 26, 12, 29, 21, 25, 10, 22, 17, 26, 35, 27, 35, 29, 34, 29, 32, 40, 28, 30, 30, 25, 49, 35, 26, 27, 27, 35, 37, 7, 22, 17, 7, 15, 0, 11, 3, 20, 0, 9, 1, 7, 2, 8, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

You already have to question everything. The Yanks are broken from the top down.

[Shaun Morash @ShaunMorash]

Jazz Chisholm is hurt, clearly something leg related, feels like the fifth time this year and he always dodges going on the IL.

If he’s IL bound now and no George Lombard called up you have to question everything this organization is thinking,

[Jason Centrella @TeterboroJC]

Do people who still watch care how bad it’s gotten? I’m talking to the people who don’t get paid to watch.

[Steve Levy @espnSteveLevy]

There are only 4 batters in ALL of MLB hitting above .301.
