All #Yankees #immaculategrid

Maddon is the only “LOL, no…” on here, otherwise I wouldn’t strongly quibble with any of them getting in but for me, Dusty is a slam dunk, White should’ve been in years ago.

The Jets are 2-5, coming off their most humiliating loss in years (which is saying A LOT) and they just kicked a FG from the 4 yard line on their opening drive. Aaron Glenn is actively trying to get fired.

Hoping we get a picture of Gary Sanchez and Jake Bauers wearing their World Series champions rings on their middle fingers with the caption "Hey Cashman!" #Yankees

Most of the #WorldSeries discourse is going to be about many things other than the bottom line, which was Milwaukee's pitching was unreal. If you only allow two runs per nine over a series you're going to win, regardless of anything else being overly discussed.

I see the Brewers batters have struck out seven times, Rays batters twice. Surely the Brewers are losing…right…? #WorldSeries

Kevin Cash has won two manager of the year awards and if Aaron Boone managed the way Cash does #Yankees fans would go all J6 on Yankees stadium.

Smoltz advocating for a bunt there is hysterical or exhausting depending on one’s mood.

Good stuff as usual from FG, but as a #Yankees fan it always cracks me up that when NYY plays crap D in the postseason it’s 100% Boone’s fault and he has to go. I assure you no one is calling for Cash or Murphy to lose their jobs. #WorldSeries

This World Series matchup between the Brewers and Rays has been trumpeted as a showcase of fundamental baseball, with lots of balls in play, bunts, and stolen bases. However, as Matthew Roberson writes, the defense we've seen so far in the World Series has been quite poor:

Ryan Fitzpatrick played for 9 franchises, started at least half his team’s games in 10 seasons - had one (1) season with a winning record, if you were curious how impressive Flores’ record is.

MIA was 24-18 over Flores’ last 42 games (with Ryan fucking Fitzpatrick starting half of them), 36-38 since (after Flores’ successor was gifted the 5th overall pick at QB who started the majority of that stretch.)

If NFL MVP was Most Valuable Person -- not just Player -- it would be Brian Flores based on the season thus far. And he was briefly available as a free agent for $0 against the cap this offseason before re-signing with the Vikings.

A team that has averaged 14 points per game this season has 21 at halftime against the Jets. I mean...

Mason Taylor looks more like his uncle than his father and I seem to be the only person who finds this funny.

I pay for zero streaming services now and I miss absolutely none of it. Movies/ TV Series I stream for free through the library (Kanopy and Hoopla) or borrow the physical DVD's. Baseball? I'm equidistant between NY and PHI so...(cont)

*sighs*

I voted differently on several - no real quibbles except: Ichiro over Betts? Lol, c'mon man. And both Mauer and Molina over Posey? Posey/Mauer almost identical 5 year peak, and Mauer spent more time w/o catcher's equipment than with. Posey > WAR than Molina in 900 fewer G. sabr.org/all-time-era...

All #Yankees #immaculategrid Rolled the dice on Barfield, came up all good.

This made me check Gibson as a hitter, found this: at age 34, he had 124 PA, .347 OBP, .404 SLG - which made him a better hitter than most of the #Yankees this year.

also before Ohtani blew all the numbers out of the water he had a chance to be the second pitcher ever (the other being Bob Gibson) to have double digit SB and HR, but he finished at 9 each

We don’t talk enough about bad of an umpire Jordan Baker is. #ALCS

The TBS announcers are SO much better than the FOX crew. #ALCS

10 in play and JRam slamming it directly into the ground for a groundout has been their hardest hit ball. #ALCS

Cleveland batters have put six balls in play, zero 95 mph or more. #ALCS

I don’t “really” care, but Tampa is a lot more fun to watch than Cleveland, if you were wondering who I was rooting for. #ALCS

I noticed in last night's #ALCS the team that made more contact and put it in play more got its ass kicked - again (That seems to be a theme.) Of course it's not as much fun when it's on TBS because Francouer and Darling don't drone on about easliy disprovavble non-factual BS like the FOX gang.

All #Yankees #immaculategrid Wanted to use players who had the accomplishments as Yankees but I don’t think anyone fits that for bottom center (?)

Because I hate myself, I had to check. The #Yankees traded Jake Bauers three years ago and neither of the two players they got back has made it passed AA Somerset yet. Although to be fair, both had good years in '26 in AA and A ball respectively.

MIL batters had a 31% K rate in the #NLCS (that's VERY high, FYI) with a .445 SLG LAD batters Kd three fewer times per game than MIL batters, but LAD batters SLG .250 (yikes) Final aggregate score, MIL 21 - LAD 11.

MIL batters struck out 45 times in the #NLCS - that's a lot. I'm sure ARod, Jeter, Smoltz, Vasgersian, etc. all discussed that after the game...right...?

My Baseball Page@mybaseballpage.bsky.social · 4w ago

#NLCS MIL batters have struck out 35 times. LAD batters have struck out 25 times. MIL has scored more than twice as many runs as LAD.

I need someone to explain to me how the foul pop up before the HR wasn’t interference on the bat boy. Seems like a big deal considering the subsequent HR was the game winner. #ALCS

Make peace with what/whoever your higher power is. Chandler Simpson just hit an extra base hit. The end is nigh. #ALDS
