What a cool sequence, Cronenworth came in to pitch from 2nd base, and he can actually pitch, K'd Betts ... Joe Musgrove went in to LF on the switch, and Price hit a sac fly steak, haha!

 

Now Musgrove's AB and K'd by Price. :cool:

The most entitled fans in the history of sports. Well, we're not quite at the "feed them all to the lions" stage, so maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but is that really far off?

 

Fans are overreacting yes. And yet at the same time the Yankees don't scare me that much. I mean they're going to improve, and they'll likely make the playoffs. But I thought they'd be a step better than the Jays and now I don't think they are.

 

Outside of Cole their SP rotation isn't good. Taillon looks like s***. Kluber looks just OK.

 

They have a bunch of streaky power hitters that can win games but also disappear.

 

They have defense that is good in some positions and very spotty in others (spotty in the most critical positions too like C and SS)

 

They have a bullpen that *should* be really good but looks shakier than it was before

 

I dunno. Maybe they click and win 95 games. But I can also see Toronto or Tampa winning the division.

They project to be a top-5 team in baseball RoS. Taillon has good peripheral numbers. And Cole is a huge part of their rotation, you can't just look outside of him. Severino is coming back by July.

The Yankees have been over 0.500 every year since 1992. They’ve made the playoffs four years running, with two 100-win seasons in those years. Their fans have witnessed one of the greatest sustained runs of winning baseball ever, and don’t even remotely appreciate it.

Every year they don't win the World Series is considered failure. The fans expect a World Series win every 5 years.

 

They have won only one world series in the last 20 years, and did not appear in a world series in the 2010s. First time in 100 years that a Yankee team was not in the World Series in a decade.

 

By their own standards it is a complete failure.

Max Scherzer now at 2,808 career strikeouts, passing Cy Young

 

22nd on the all time list

 

The only "non-retired" pitcher ahead of him is Verlander

 

He'll likely be top 15 by the end of 2022, could crack the top 10 if he hangs around

Scherzer is essentially modern day Cy Young, 170 to 228 innings pitched every season since 2009 when he was 24.

 

It’s as close as we can get since asking a guy to pitch 300-400 innings a season in the current MLB landscape is practically impossible. Though Cy Young pitched until he was 44 and still somehow mustered 1.8 fWAR in his final season.

Nolan Ryan's 5714 strikeouts over 27 seasons seems like one of the least likely records to ever get broken

It was an exciting game. Padres might’ve lost game 1/19 but Machado was a hero.

There would be no extra innings without him.

Machado's a gamer, man! Surprised the staff didn't pull him though, wow... this game's awesome.

Yup, my response at that sequence last night above, guy's tough.

Glasnow broke already? Was hoping for 3 or 4 more starts

 

Edit: false alarm
