How long until someone from #Yankees brass says something along the lines of the ultimate deadline move they can make is getting their lineup healthy and hitting?
Here's a fun bit, #Stanton has been above replacement-level exactly 1 year out of the last 5.
In WAR, #Volpe is behind only #Judge and #Cole on the season. That sounds cool, but ... he's slashing .210/.286/.374. Those numbers shouldn't be third in anything on a competitive team.

As is the norm these last few years, the #Yankees will make effectively 0 moves at the deadline. I expect some kind of perfunctory nonsense, but nothing to actually bring meaningful change.
We'll hang our hats on the return of Cortes and some vague notion of a bunch of "slumps" snapping. Cool, cool, cool.
The #Yankees have further announced the undecomposed weight-bearing bones of some guy named George Herman Ruth will be their on-field hitting advisor.
They have opted for his exhumation over pursuing any trade candidates and feel confident it is the right decision to make a run at the wildcard.
Please don't get angry with me, but are we #Yankees fans hanging our hopes on #Rodon purely based on his 2021 and 2022 numbers? 15-18 he seems to have been pretty not great, ya?
Which one are we getting and how do we know its the former?

I'm going to say something to #yankees fans and then I'm going to quickly get out of the room.
It's true. You don't want to hear it, but it's true.
The Yankees acquisition of Giancarlo Stanton hasn't worked out. He's worth about 8.9 WAR since coming over and only 2018 and 2021 were starter-level seasons or better.
Over the same span and even on a per-season basis, Josh Donaldson has been considerably better.
But he should never have been acquired, either.
Been watching #baseball for 30 years, that’s the first steal of home I’ve seen in real time.

This detail where umpire James Hoye notes Domingo German's hand was "the stickiest hand I've ever felt" mustn't be the kind of thing juvenile umpires dream of one day doing growing up on whatever their home planet is.

A little belated on this reaction, but I sat with it overnight and stand by it.
Stop. Putting. Clay. Holmes. In. High. Leverage. Situations.
He's the M. Night Shyamalan of closers, he's turned in more duds than anything else at this point. Accept his dominance early last season was a fluke. Move on.
