I have no idea! However Biden and the liberals might have been involved.
Monday is a typical day off for many teams. The 4th just happens to be a Monday this year. Looks like Yanks are 1 of 4 teams not playing today.
There should be a full slate of games on July 4th. Baseball is the only show in town. Manfred is awful.
There should be a requirement that all MLB teams are scheduled to play a game on July 4th... it's only supposed to be the national pastime. SMH
Stanton’s at 245 slumping since coming off IL (was in 280s). Still 20+ points above other 3.
Stanton might just be the most over paid player in pro baseball. (He stinks).
So kbee and shortbus can watch everyone else and get pissed
Not a huge Stanton fan but his projected stats for this yr - 45 HR 120 RBI. When he’s hot he can carry the Yankees.
But it takes him 3 weeks after an injury before he gets hot. And he gets injured a lot.
5 of those guys are hitting above the league average right now. Pitching and bullpen usage are absolutely dominant right now.
Interesting article I found. Lists the top salaries in baseball for this season. Stanton is only the 22nd highest paid. I would have thought it was more. He makes 25 million this year. Scherzer makes 43 million a year, which is insane for someone his age and gets hurt frequently.

Here are the highest-paid MLB players for the 2022 season
Max Scherzer, Freddie Freeman and Carlos Correa are among the highest-paid players in the 2022 MLB season after signing big deals in free agency.
The shortstop at .258 had the highest average among Sunday's starters.
When was the last time that was the case for the Bronx Bombers ?
BTW, this is the Yankees....a team that strives for a little better than league average.

The thing is- your team is still hitting well above the AL average, leads in power numbers and can run the bases. Pair that with dominate pitching and you have a team that is well out in front of MLB. I believe they are striving and surpassing for better than league average.
Not to mention the Yankees lead MLB in total runs scored (403), runs per game (5.04), and run differential (+162). That’s sort of the entire point of the game, so hard to complain about batting average. If these metrics drop, then sure.
He is being paid $29 million this year. Next year $32 million and the following 2 years. His payroll tax # is $22million this yearInteresting article I found.

The concern is that over the past month, the SP has been average to bad. Montgomery and Cole have been pretty solid but even those two are in the min 3's era this past month and Cortes, Tallion, Severino have been bad.
The good news- they are still winning but the SP is not what they were most of the early season.
Not really.
What I'd like to see is the NYY go get someone like Benintendi from the Royals and release Gallo.
Gallo's .168 BA ain't cutting it.
There's a difference between solid and expectations of perfection. Every player slumps in baseball - including pitchers who on some nights just don't have it. You have to examine each player from start to start.
All teams would be happy to have starters with mid 3 ERAs as it generally gives the team a reasonable chance to win in most games. Both Cortes and Tallion were up and down in June. Severino only had one bad start in June and has had 3 acceptable - very good starts since.
I think you might be trying too hard to find and post major issues with the cross town rival of the team you root for.
At what point do you start to believe in a team that is already 36 games above .500 and has a 14 game lead at the halfway point? Are you anticipating a total collapse? For me the only remaining big test will be in the post season.
Guy is a clown. Pretends to be a baseball fan but always gets his dig in on the Yankees. He should worry about the Mets struggles instead.
You are listening to your buddy WB too much. I actually enjoy when both teams are good and have said that many times over the years.
my point was to the poster talking about the starters and the confidence in them. I agree, for 90% of players, a season is up and down. The Yankee starters have been mostly great for a good majority of the season and carried the Yanks along with Judge. You just expect them all to be performing to what they did as a group over the first z50 or so games. You will need the other hitters to start picking it up to continue winning like this.
and in no way does that mean I expect them to fall apart either. Yanks will most likely be around 110 or so wins this year. But you need it all to be clicking come playoff time
There's an entire 2nd half of the season to play first before we get to "clicking" come playoff time. There are also likely moves at the trade deadline to consider. Yankees have both a deep rotation (with good reinforcements ready in the minors) and a deep pen to pick them up - you should be looking at the entire situation.
Hitting is down across MLB and if you watch every Yankee game you would know that they are winning in a variety of ways. Moving runners, bunts, stolen bases, sac flies, hitting with 2 outs and yes.....lots of HRs. It's likely that Gallo will not survive the trade deadline if he continues at current pace.
If you root for the Yanks like you claim, not sure why you would be focused on projecting how pitching and hitting in June will impact the playoffs.
He just broke out if his hitting slump yesterday,
good time to sit him. His last slump started when he was chasing all sorts of Yankee
hitting records and Boone thought use needed a day off.
Context- I was responding to this…are you really that sensitive to think I just came on here with a random post. I responded directly to a post about the playoffs.
