1. Nice to see Jordan Montgomery receive some run support. If there was a team charity, it would be titled "Runs for Monty."
2. The Yankees now have four starters in the MLB top 20 for ERA.
3. The fifth is Gerrit Cole.
4. I'd like Tim Locastro in the dugout against Toronto, Tampa and Houston. They will likely be close games, possibly decided by a stolen base.
5. MLB home run leader Aaron Judge now has seven HRs (24) more than the guy in second, Pete Alonzo.
6. In the AL, he is second in RBIs and 6th in batting average. But a Triple Crown would mean leapfrogging Boston's big three - Martinez, Devers and Bogaerts.
7. The Yankees have three hitters - Judge, Rizzo and Stanton - in the AL Top 10 homer board. Between them, they have 52 HRs. (The Boston big three has 26.)
8. If you're counting the top 11 in HRs, add Gleyber, with 12.
9. If you're out there, Scottish Yankee Fan, please contact me at hseely@twcny.rr.com. A friend of the blog is coming your way and wants to watch a game with you.
10. Not only that, but we're starting to worry that you're missing a great season.
Oh, and here's your reward for reading this far.
Good morning Commentariat ☕

ReplyDeleteI only have one question: is this season actually happening or are we in some wet-dream parallel universe?
This is a strange, unexpected feeling: I woke up this morning not hating Joey Gallows; not even caring that he exists. I even watched the replay of all the dingers from last night with the same rapt attention usually reserved for the bikini-clad young women in the Daily Murdoch.
Speaking of bikini-clad women...
ReplyDeleteI hear ya, DickAllen.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine sent me this today: https://www.businessinsider.com/google-engineer-thinks-artificial-intelligence-bot-has-become-sentient-2022-6
OMG, could it be we're already in The Matrix????
If so, I'm down with it. Never understood why those guys had so much trouble with the Matrix in the first place...
I don't remember bikini-clad women in The Matrix, but I'm sure they're there. We just weren't shown them.
ReplyDeleteBig shout out to our "Ace," wondering when or if he shows up. Plenty of time, 36 mil for a lot of years yet...
Our "Ace" is officially the worst pitcher on our staff now. Montgomery has passed him by.
ReplyDeleteI meant our reward for winning streaks. :)
ReplyDeleteWinning Steaks! Those are tasty!
