NY YANKEES - 2021

GAME 25.
top of 10th - yank strikes out trying to bunt the guy on second over.
bottom of 10th - o's sac bunt the runner over to 3rd. next batter sac fly.
ball game over.
 
As long as Boone is in charge, this team will never be good at the little things.  This is a really poorly coached team.  Everyone knows what they should be doing, and yet Boone refuses to do the obvious.  He is the leader of a sinking ship,

Not disagreeing with you. But I think MLB is the one sport where managers are really overvalued because its the most individual major sport.

GM has fielded a very unbalanced team. How many DHs can a team carry?
 
i am not yet 80 years old.
unless you mean the 1980s.
in 1989, i had a 35 game ticket plan for the yanks. monday to friday only. night games only.
i dont remember - many things i dont remember - bunting being so poor as it has been the last few years.
i dont remember base running being so poor as it has been the last few years. fewer stolen bases.
i dont remember the number of strikeouts being as much as it has been the last few years.

So they were fundamentally sound but still shit in the 80's.
 
the 27 time world champion new york yankees had the most team wins of any team in the mlb in the 1980s. 
followed by detroit, kc, dodgers.

redmen news alert - #99 just hit his second homer of the game.

game 26. 
despite only going 6 innings and giving up multipole hits, the yankee starter was credited with a win over the mlb team with the worse record in baseball. the tiger starter improved to zero and four.
5 getty goners. 15 hits. 5 walks.
#99 had 2 ballantines and clint one getty. neither did a running misstep while running out their gettys.
going into wednesday's game, the yanks were 26th in team batting average and 27th in both runs scored and slugging percentage. perhaps the sleeping bats have awakened.

And yet they didn't win a WS.  Made 1, and playoffs only twice.  So they were compiling it sounds like just like you can say the current Yankees have been recently.
 
2 weeks ago the Yankees couldn't hit HR's.
Now they are tied for the lead in HR's

Oh and they have the lowest ERA in the AL.

ERA stat has been around forever so it has to be passe by now. Most impt pitching stat today has to be exit velocity allowed. /media/kunena/emoticons/wink.png/media/kunena/emoticons/smile.png

Cole and the bullpen are largely responsible for that ERA lead.  Some of the other starters still could bring it down a bit (Kluber and German are starting to).

Cole already has 4 games this year of 10+ strikeouts, and 0 walks.  That ties the Yankees team record for a full season (Mike Mussina in 2001).  Cole is the first pitcher in Yankees history to do it for 3 starts in a row.  He also struck out at least 7 batters for his 15th straight regular season start, tying Nolan Ryan for the second most in AL history (Shane Bieber currently has an active streak of 19 in a row, which is the record).

Yankees also tied a team record with 18 strikeouts (pitching, so it's a good thing) in a nine inning game.  Guidry in 1978 of course, but CC and two relievers also accomplished it in 2011.

All in all, this was my idea of the perfect Yankees game.  Offense struck early and often, and never let the Tigers think they had a chance to come back.  Really, they had one two out rally in the 4th inning against Cole, and that was really it.
 
game 27.
bravo chapman - 7 pitches for the save. on a day when the rest of the vaunted bullpen struggled.
taillon showed he can be a 5th/6th starter.
#99 is hot. dj adds a stolen base and 2 hits to his mvp resume.
6 runs, 8 hits, 6 walks as the yankee bats continue to rise from the wood chipper.
 
Watch Stanton go ice cold. Should have played yesterday with the day off tomorrow.  Typical BS Boone move.
 
game 28. yanks at 500
kluber another very fine game. chapman lights out in ninth.
all the pitchers were helped today by a very large strike zone.
thus 2 runs, 5 hits, 2 walks, 21 kkkrakkkens - total for both teams.
stanton had a single.
the much maligned in mid april yankees pitching rocks again.
 
Great to be back at .500. Now work on getting to 5 games over .500. Start by beating the cheatnig bastards from Houston this week!
 
game 29.
bravo stanton. hot in spring training, hotter in may
yankee ace german goes 5 innings.
bull[pen stays hot. 4 innings, 4 pitchers. chapman rests.
dj adds to mvp resume.
