2022 Yankees

Disappointing weekend. Was hoping for Judge to get the record at home. Expect he'll do it in Texas. Really concerned about the bullpen.
 
You really have to wonder about the Yankees medical staff and all these bullpen injuries. So many have had recurring issues. Feels like they are bringing them back too soon.
 
Win # 99! But nothing for the other # 99. If Taillon was auditioning for a postseason starter spot, he did not do himself any favors. Not sharp, too many walks, gave up a bunch of lasers. Disappointing start. Judge running out of time. Gonzalez giveth and taketh in right field.
 
Just got lucky to see Judge's 62nd live, so happy for him. Game wasn't on here so was watching the Knicks on TNT. At halftime, I turned on MLB just in case and they were showing Judge's 1st at bat courtesy of YES. Judge is just a class act.
 
All the MLB playoff seeding is set. Yankees will face the winner of the Cleveland/Tampa Bay wild card series, beginning next Tuesday night.

I don't know if I have a preference between either one of those teams (we haven't played Cleveland since early July, and they're a much better team since then), but I know that I don't fear either of those teams, as much as I would Toronto or Seattle.

Yankees could very well lose in the ALDS (I hope not), but I think they got a break matchup wise, regardless of how the two Wild Card series turn out.

The whole game was broadcast on MLB.TV
 
Surprised Boone pulled Judge last night. I know he's played 55 straight games. But they are off until Tuesday. Unless of course Judge asked out. That changes things. The triple crown is not happening with Arraez sitting today and him maybe not even playing. Though with all the days off why not just DH.

Didn't Teddy Ballgame do something famous / gritty, like play on the last day, when he could have opted out, and he risked losing the triple-crown or batting title, but he went 5-5 or something like that, and because of that he ended up winning the batting title or triple crown or something?

Edit: Found it:

"He played left field for the Red Sox in both games, entering the day with a batting average of .3995 – which would be rounded up to .400. But Williams insisted on playing to ensure there was no doubt about his mark.

Williams was 4-for-5 at the plate in the first game raising his batting average to .404.

In the second game Williams went 2-for-3 to finalize his average for the season at .406.

With the .406 average in 1941, Williams became the first player since Bill Terry to reach .400."
 
Sorry they didn't get to 100 wins, but given they were 0 for July and August, not so bad. Hicks and Donaldson both contributing to the Rangers win with misplays. Sorry, but they both suck. Unfortunately we're probably stuck with them another year.

Boone pulled Severino(who wanted to stay in) after 7 no hit innings and wouldn’t allow Judge ( not sure) to continue to pursue Triple Crown yesterday. In theory rest is supposed to be helpful to playoff success but they have a week off to rest! Doubt Judge would have asked out.

With all the pressure of going for the record, Boone gave Judge a “mental health” day which was probably well needed even if not requested by a Judge.

Pulling Severino after seven in only his third start back from the IL was smart even though he was throwing a no-hitter. Need to look at the big picture and not over tax him when every pitch would be what is referred to as “max effort” in trying to preserve the no-hitter. Joe Torre did the same with David Cone in 1996 in his first game from the IL after having an aneurysm in his arm.
