So far this season the Yankees have been far and away — far, far and away — the best hitting team in baseball in high leverage situations. Check out these high leverage numbers:

AVG: .322 (Red Sox are second at .295)
OBP: .429 (Braves are second at .378)
SLG: .522 (Athletics are second at .519)
wRC+: 152 (Athletics are second at 129)

Just a wild guess but I'd wager it means he is #54 if you were to list every player's OBP from the highest to the lowest.

I can't believe the first person I've ever considered ignoring during my 11 years on this website is a fellow Yankee fan in a Yankees thread. Can you please stop?

Sanchez is a bad defensive catcher, but his arm keeps him at just regular bad and not like horribly bad. The good thing is that he is probably going to age pretty decently defensively because so much of his value is in his arm. I could see him catching for another 10 years tbh.

I am honestly not all that worried about Gary atm the moment because his eye is still there and extremely good, and he is, to an extent, getting unlucky when he is making contact. His BABIP is .195 :stonk:.

He is not going to have an amazing year, but He will probably end up somewhere around like .240/.340/.460

He could also get super hot randomly and mash like 10 dingers in a month and I wouldn't be surprised at all.

. 195 babip Jesus

Honestly what will probably happen is Torres and someone else will slump terribly when Sanchez and Stanton go on a hot streak

Seems to be what tends to happen with a lot of teams

The fact that he's a lefty is completely immaterial. He's had a reverse split for his entire career. I don't understand why the team still views him as a LOOGY/LHB specialist.

Here is my flaming hot take: What if the 2nd best offense in the league is actually bad?????

e: Yankees cannot manufacture runs is a really stupid take. They are 10th in BA and 5th in OBP. While they are in the bottom 10 in runners left of base, there is this really strange correlation between getting on base a lot, and also getting left on base a lot. Its weird I cannot explain it!!!

So you're saying statistics are bullshit

The pitching has been awesome since June 1, they’ve had by far the best FIP (3.02) and xFIP (3.26) in baseball, even with Sonny Gray. It wasn’t primarily because of the offense that they had such a great run differential and record in June.

A positive run differential of an average of plus one per game is p good

Stanton sometimes has these MISERABLE situational ABs... First pitch DP's... Swinging at pitches 2 or 3 feet out of the strike zone.

Inspector_666 posted:

I'm confused by Machado's continued insistence that he only play SS because he seems way better at 3B (but not even in a "He's a bad SS" so much as "He's an otherworldly 3B") and it seems like he's just driving his own value down.

I really like playing short stop is probably the thing
