[Pendleton]

What?

 

Just found the exchange humorous is all

Figured as much... it was Smoak and Kendrys' last time they did it a few weeks back, just reverse in the batting order, lol.

[G-Snarls]

I haven't been watching any baseball whatsoever in the past month - what happened to the Yankees? I thought this offense was killing it and the pitching was awesome

 

Shitload of injuries

 

And some offensive slumps

 

Judge still going strong though

Regression to the mean.

[G-Snarls]

Regression to the mean.

 

And some of that

 

They were likely overperforming a bit

[glory]

The Royals are tied for the 2nd WC? Damn. It's been so long since I looked at the standings. I don't think I can stomach another BABIP fueled playoff run by them.

[Orgfiller]

And some of that

Judge still has a BABIP way over .400, I get that he hits the ball hard and is exciting to watch, but f*** that. I can't wait until he regresses hard and starts striking out 40% of the time.

[Spanky99]

And some of that

Just a wee bit, lol. Their run differential is an enormous 105 coming into this game, with a Pythagorean of 50-32... they aren't going anywhere soon.

Perfect timing!

[Orgfiller]

Perfect timing!

 

I hate the Yankees.

They f***ing suck, screw them.

[Bobthe4th]

I hate the Yankees.

 

Haha, you've got to admit Judge is fun to watch though.

[JonMc]

Haha, you've got to admit Judge is fun to watch though.

He's a one man wrecking crew.

 

Pleased to see it hasn't phased Marco much though. He just got on with it.

[Orgfiller]

Haha, you've got to admit Judge is fun to watch though.

 

He is, the way he murders baseballs is fun, reminiscent of Stanton. However, he's leading the MLB in BABIP and HR% by a country mile, so while he's made significant changes and he's a legitimately scary hitter, the fact that he's a Yankee and playing in this joke of a ballpark while getting very lucky annoys me.

[Spanky99]

Dude ties Dimaggio with the rookie dinger record. (sic)

[Orgfiller]

Well s***.

[EdwinsParrot]

That was destroyed damn

[GoJays1562]

Right down the middle...

[KevinGregg]

Guess Estrada won't be gaining back much value today after all

[Bobthe4th]

Ji-Man pronounced G-Man is a cool name.

[JonMc]

And the new guy is given something to tee off on.

[Maahfaace]

Marco falling apart yet again

[Spanky99]

Adam Lind's playing LF for the Nats tonight, is this the first time or have I just never noticed before?

[glory]

Well, on the bright side, Shatkins (or Shatcava I guess) looks great for only giving Estrada two years.

[GoJays1562]

Judge is unreal...

[Orgfiller]

Estrada is really struggling with his fastball location.

[EdwinsParrot]

What can possibly go wrong here

[KevinGregg]

Gibby gonna let Estrada blow this one because he's been an "escape artist" in the past

Get the BP in please!!

[Orgfiller]

Everything is up. A low changeup here would destroy him.

[Bobthe4th]

Adam Lind's playing LF for the Nats tonight, is this the first time or have I just never noticed before?

 

Fangraphs splits

 

4 games in LF for Lind.
