This shot at the Yankees just doesn’t add up. The Yankees have plenty of long term contracts (Stanton, Cole, Judge, Fried) that are all big names and money. The Yankees have plenty of flaws in the team structure but I would not say spending money on long contracts is the downfall

[Billy Reinhardt @BillyReinhardt]

The Dodgers paid Freddie Freeman $22.9M this season.

The Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon, who made $16M this season. Paul Goldschmidt made another $12.5M.

The Yankees’ reluctance to commit longterm money to true stars who have a better chance of performing in October has been Brian Cashman’s greatest downfall.

They end up adding multiple depth level pieces for the same money on shorter deals, spreading out the money instead of securing legitimate stars.

Watching the yanks hit plenty of balls hard and just be right at guys and the orioles not even getting balls to the infield dirt for hits sums up baseball beautifully

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

Which looks extra bad after Wells has two homers last night so Boone sits him so he can cool down

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

The combination of Gil being wild and Rice being an inexperienced catcher is a tough watch. Feels like that will cost the yanks a run or two

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

@chaysox34 That would be the end of baseball. I’m already against the pitch clock in the playoffs

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

I understand why the MLB does their extra innings rules but it really isn’t as fun when you are at the game. Takes away from the experience

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

Getting an opposing hitter out on fan interference cause the home team’s fan reached over seems like a crazy rule that I’ve never heard before but definitely just helped the Yanks

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

The ump in the Yankees game definitely just wanted to go home. Some awful calls going against the Angels, brutal for their hitters

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

Apparently the Celtics didn’t need Tatum to step up but they did need Luke Kornet to be a first ballot Hall of Famer

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

I hope Devin Williams not allowing a run in extras is the thing he needs to get going and find his form, otherwise might as well DFA him

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

If I have to listen to Reggie Miller and Kevin Harlan glaze the Knicks while the Celtics continue to shoot like football players I may quit watching basketball all together

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

How is the NBA TV broadcast so bad in comparison to every other broadcast for the playoffs? How do they not make any changes or get better announcers

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

Jalen Brunson is my least favorite player to watch in the NBA. I don’t even care who wins this series and I just don’t enjoy any basketball he is a part of

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

Max Fried is unreal. He is the opposite of Devin Williams

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

@rhettley27 Domingo has a perfect game to make up for lots of other horrific on and off field problems

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

It’s a long season so he has time to turn it around, but if Devin Williams doesn’t, he will be known as possibly the worst Yankee ever cause he made them change a franchise hair policy for him just to suck

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

When Carlos pitches well he is very fun to watch. The problem is, he doesn’t do it very often

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

It’s already brutal that the Rays have to play at a spring training facility but to have the crowd be almost all Yankee fans while at “home” is just a nasty addition for them

[Payton Lee @payton2lee3]

Not Clarke’s best stuff tonight but it was great to see him back in the rotation
