The four game difference in the loss column is what counts in my eyes. With each passing game, the number of games remaining to reduce that number gets smaller and smaller.

Yes, we’re only a week into July and much can happen over these next 72 games but as of right now, the Yankees would have to be five games better than the O’s to close out the year and given their last 25 days of baseball, I’m not sure that they can hang. Hell, I’m not sure that they’re going to be able to stave off Boston.

Red Sox beat the NYYs, 3-0, on three solo HRs, two by Devers. Jansen K'd Judge for the final out.

Another series loss, and tough defeat, for the Pinstripes.

Orioles' lead is back to 3 games.

 

In terms of losses the Yankees are closer to the Red Sox than the Orioles after today’s games in the standings.

Who do you pick for your second half fantasy team? Jansen or Kimbrel?

Ooh, that's a tough call.  I think I'd go with Kimbrel with the thought that he'll have slightly more opportunities, but they're similar situations.

Yes, Until the teams have played the same number of  games, I only look at the loss column  because games played and  lost  can never be made up, so even  if  a team wins the rest of its games if they are behind in the loss column,  they still do not win the pennant.

I would not be surprised to see Boston finishing 2nd in the AL East this season with the Yanks 3rd

Kind of frustrating how well Boston has played this year given expectations. And they always seem to have a good farm.

The Yankees are 5-15 in their last 20 games.

They've been outscored in those games 130 to 95.  Not too bad considering the .250 win%.

It’s not hard to diagnose the Yankees’ problem - they’ve allowed 6.5 runs per game in that 20-game stretch.  Some Yankee ERA’s in that span: Cole 6.75 in 4 starts, Stroman 6.43 in 4 starts, Rodon 10.89 in 4 starts, Gil 9.37 in 4 starts.   Cortes (2.70 in 4 starts) is the only member of their rotation who’s producing.   Meanwhile in the pen you have Clay (the All-Star) Holmes at 9.00 ERA, Caleb Ferguson 9.53, Phil Bickford 14.40, Ron Marinaccio 6.75, Victor Gonzalez  9.82.   

And people think the Orioles have pitching problems?

The offense basically has been fine at 4.75 runs/game in this stretch, down a bit but nothing dramatic.   Struggling guys include Gleyber Torres (.620 OPS), DJ LeMahieu (.521), Alex Verdugo (.495) and Anthony Volpe (.473).

You never know what's around the next corner. Their rotation was absolutely dominating until around when Cole returned. I'm sure plenty of Yankee fans would have laughed in your face if you told them their pitching staff was about to get annihilated for a month.

Yep, it’s a crazy game.   Sometimes Oakland scores 19 runs off you.

The White Sox won 93 games and made the playoffs just 3 years ago.  They were seen as an upcoming team loaded with young talent.  Baseball is a crazy game.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Good point, no other metropolitan area has more than one team.

      Could it be that they allowed the Gnats to reside within 30 minutes of their home. Effectively cutting their market in half?

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.
