Did you know that 2020 marks only the 4th time that
Yankees have led the AL in homers and batting average in the same year—AND the
first time that two different players made it possible?
It’s true!
The previous years were 1924, 1934, and 1956. In 1924, Babe
Ruth hit 46 homers to lead the AL, and won the batting crown with a .378
average. He missed a Triple Crown by 5 ribbies, to Washington’s Goose
Goslin.
In 1934, it was Lou Gehrig, who won the Triple Crown, with 49
homers, 166 RBI, and a .363 average. And of course, in 1956 it was The
Mick, in his greatest year, going 52, 130, and .353.
So what do Luke Voit’s and D.J. LeMahieu’s accomplishments bode
for this season?
Well, not much, judging by history. The 1924 Yankees finished 2
games behind the Senators, who went on to win their one and only World Series.
The 1934 Yanks also finished second, 7 games behind the Tigers, who won their
first World Series. Only in the unforgettable 1956 Series did our boys in
pinstripes bring home all the bacon.
So what can we look forward to?
Well, as several of my brethren here have opined, the Yanks would
actually have been better off finishing eighth, and getting to play Tampa Bay
in the short series. The Rays have a weak enough lineup that the Bombers’ best
chance to beat them would’ve been in a best-of-three.
In any longer series—no way. But don’t worry. The Yanks weren’t
going to beat anyone else anyway.
To be sure, the Yankees have a puncher’s chance, particularly in a
short series, with an ace such as Cole and with Tanaka, one of the best
postseason pitchers in the team’s illustrious history.
But really, you know and I know that there is no way this sloppy,
uninspired, physically feeble, one-dimensional, and generally confused ball
club is ever going to get through four rounds of playoffs. Hell, they won’t get
through two. Most likely, they won’t advance at all.
The way my crystal ball sees it is:
AL
TB over Toronto, 2-0.
Cleveland over Yankees, 2-0.
Minnesota over Cheaters, 2-1.
Pale Hose over Athletics, 2-1.
Cleveland over TB, 3-2.
ChiSox over Twins, 3-2.
Cleveland over White Sox, 4-3.
NL
LA over Milwaukee, 2-0.
St. Louis over San Diego, 2-1.
Chicago over Miami, 2-1.
Atlanta over Cincinnati, 2-0.
Dodgers over Cards, 3-0.
Cubs over Braves, 3-2.
Bums over Braves, 4-2.
World Series
The Tribe tops The Flock, 4-3.
Basically, because I can’t bear to pick the Dodgers. Ever.
And hey, history tells us that when the Yankees win the home run
and batting titles, an AL team is likely to win the World Series for the first
time. Or, the first time in a long time, anyway.
Cleveland rocks.
A few things Playoff edition:
ReplyDelete1) Cinci over Atl. 2-1
Sonny Gray wins game three 7 innings pitched 2 runs 11Ks.
2) Toronto over TB 2-1
Because wishing makes it so.
3) Minn over ASSteros 2-0
Because G-d hates cheaters and there is no way that they could get away with it twice. Right G-d? You wouldn't let a cheating asshole win two times would ya G-d? Seriously, that would be cruel. G-d are you listening? I fasted yesterday does that help? G-d? Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?
and the most important one...
Cleveland 2-1 when the great great great great (I can't keep typing great but there's like another 178 of them) grandchildren of the midges fly to San Diego to drink the ample sweat direct from the water cannon and he gives up the game and series winner.

Jimmy,
ReplyDeleteBetter pitching, Better starters, better bull pen, playing great winning baseball.
Game one Cy Young lock vs. Cole.
Hey look, I'm rooting for the Yankees. We could win, I mean that's why they play the games but let's face it, right now we pretty much suck and Clev pretty much doesn't.
Doug K.
ReplyDeleteFuck it. I'm done.
The Yankers announced today that Mike Ford, the fatter and less talented version of Luke Voit, is on the post-season roster, but Andujar is not.
These useless cunts are going down.
ReplyDeleteAndujar, in his final six games, he went 9-for-25 with four extra-base hits, but spent much of the season at the alternate site in Scranton.
Ford, meanwhile, went hitless in September, going 0-for-19 with three walks and two strikeouts in nine games.
CAN ANYBODY IN THE YANKEES (ALLEGED) BRAIN TRUST ADD?
AND HAVE THEY SUDDENLY DISCOVERED THEY HAVE NO LEFT-HANDED HITTERS IN THE LINEUP?
ReplyDeleteThis means only two things: Gardner starts in left, Clint sits, and Hicks bats third.
Thuuuuuuuuuu Yankees Lose!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't add either - this is THREE things.
Boone-Cashman have decided to play a 37-year-old with a shitty .747 OPS (Gardner) over a 26-year-old with a .905 OPS (Frazier) based on a tiny sample size of who was hot or cold over the past week or so. This is SO STUPID that it leaves one speechless. (And of course Andujar remains in purgatory.) The Yankees deserve to lose. Fuck 'em. Why should they expect fan loyalty to such a hopelessly inept organization?
ReplyDeleteRichieAllen1964 -- What he said above, to the hundredth power.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Andujar-Ford choice simply beggars belief. What's the point of having a lefty in the lineup who can't hit righties OR lefties? Andujar hits righties MUCH better than Ford. These people are just STUPID. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.

ReplyDeleteBy the way--in the link I posted above from "yanksgoyard," the author explains the choice of Gardner over Frazier as a small-sample "recency bias"--an excellent descriptor, and a tendency usually manifest among seventh-grade APBA players, not professional MLB general managers.
