been here a while. current fixation(s): heated rivalry, yankees baseball

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

hello new ppl! i tweet a lot about heated rivalry, yankees baseball, politics/environmental stuff, nyc, comm/rhetorical theory, movies/tv shows, and fandom things.

if you loathe gen ai and tend to think in visual metaphors or movie quotes, i’m prob your cup of tea. don’t be shy!

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

@Chris_NYY28 they’re seriously dismissing one of the CORE FOUR?? let’s ask jack curry to settle this

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

if the rays win the al/ws, will we see the return of analytics-informed, fundamentals-based baseball?

@yankeesondeck_ someone get mattingly on the horn

[Billy W @Bwebs622]

If Cruz gets sent down again I will mail everybody in the organization a beehive

[j @flarnskt]

I don't think you should be allowed to hit the ball over the fence. In every other sport that's a violation.

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

@Gruntbaseball i also think that pitch clock incident and the way it was handled shot some of his confidence. he’s been off at the plate ever since

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

@BobbyMilone29 warren over weathers?

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

when it’s the WHOLE TEAM, it’s not any one player’s fault.

it’s energy and leadership.

they’re understandably tired from 18/19 in a row, but this is mental. they are scattered and no one is leading.

[Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner]

Why are the Yankees in a slump right now?

Goldschmidt: 0 for his last 14
Rice: 5 for his last 41
Domínguez: 2 for his last 17
Volpe: 5 for his last 30
Caballero: 5 for his last 35
Bellinger: 3 for his last 30
Chisholm: 1 for his last 15
Wells: Entire season

1st batter up and my dad was confidently telling section 323 he needs an off-speed pitch

[. @HalToHell]

The Tigers came into today tied for the second best xwOBA against Four-seams, Sinkers, and Cutters.

I get fastballs is Cam's thing, but it shows a real lack of gameplanning and adjustability when you throw 36 pitches, go 0-for-21!!! on whiffs, and only throw one curveball!!

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

at some point, when you don’t have a championship, and the leadership has been the same the whole time, you have to start questioning the leader(s)

(and no, this isn’t bandwagon; i got booed by my own family years ago for saying judge is overrated lol)

*commence tomatoes*

[Ryan Garcia @RyanGarciaESM]

"There's not going to be a hell of a lot more shots at this I would think if they don't cash in a championship" from Joel Sherman earlier today on Aaron Boone is a very different tone from what he usually says about Aaron Boone

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

@amper0627 @ChrisKirschner this is a great point. whole vibe is off, but especially after that shift. i know it’s been a long stretch of games but the pitchers were fine. if the pitching was doing it’s thing the defense and low offense wouldn’t nearly be as big a deal. (but right now it all matters.)

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

cabby hasn’t looked the same since the pitch clock incident. swagger and confidence is gone, nevermind playing every position under the sun

[Carly @charbinks]

Caballero needs a day or 5 off. Hasn’t hit in a long time. Multiple errors in every position .. and don’t give me “he should be playing SS” hes on this team for his versatility.

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

@charbinks everyone needs a day off, let’s be real

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

the only pitching decision i’ve been happy with lately is yovanny cruz being called back up

[Everything Yankees @eyyankees]

For what it’s worth, the Yankees free fall began that Sunday vs Cincinnati when Aaron Boone opted to start Elmer Rodriguez and push the starters back a day.

The rotation has not looked the same since.

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

i’ve never heard 37,000 people be so quiet before

[Max Mannis @MaxMannis]

Back to back nights where tens of thousands of Yankees fans paid money to attend a game only for the vibes to be entirely sucked out of the stadium by 7:30. Should get a refund frankly.

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

@juice33nyc like what do you mean you don’t want JORGE POSADA

[weh @bickduttbooba]

slowly bullying AI writers into replacing AI tells until they eventually start replacing every single word and just writing it themselves

[New York Post Sports @nypostsports]

"I think the Yankees have an infield problem."

Pinstripe Post with @Joelsherman1.

[hollanova @sightlyfixated]

@JLas43_ was always gonna be a mid-august return
