I can't remember the last time the Yankees faced a team that had better offensive players at basically every position.
By my count, that's 6 Rays at .280 BA or better. And 6 Rays at .900 OPS or better and 8 at .800 OPS or better.
On the other side, we have 1 Yankee at .280 BA or better. And 0 Yankees at .900 OPS or better and 1 at .800 OPS or better.
Do other teams struggle in trap games or just us?
I think we'll see Ruth Bader Ginsburg this year before we see Harrison Bader.
ReplyDeleteRim shot!
ReplyDeleteHey now Celerino, back off. The easy jokes are my territory.
ReplyDeleteNow I have to think really hard…. Like they finally caught the flasher perv in a town just outside Newark…. The papers call him the Harrison Bader.
See why you have to leave the obvs ones for me? When I try it get so tortured.
Good thing we're not pitching are front line starters...we might have won one game in the series...
ReplyDeleteLook at it this way. Just how bad are the Rays going to feel if we beat them at even a single game? They're going to look at the stats and find it unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteOf course, they don't have to worry about that happening. We suck.
Is it just me or does it look like A-Rod has six fingers on his left hand in that picture?
ReplyDeleteConsidering our ages on this blog, I actually HAD a Six Finger
ReplyDeleteMan alive
How did I ever get along with Five?
When you have a GM who brings in stiffs, the latest being Jake Bauers, you cannot matchup with teams like Tampa. Tissue Mon Stanton is always unjured and Judge is not enough to make the Yankees good, although Judge carried the team in 2022. Stiffs galore, the Cashman way. Take a look at The Genius. He is Genius nerd.
