how's Top 10 Player in MLB DJ LeMahieu doing?

Let the burning of pants commence. These things drive me nuts.



Yankees are scoring 3.86 runs per game (24th), and slugging .376 (22nd) to go along with a .220 batting average (26th). That's not mediocre at all. They're one of the worst 10 offenses at scoring runs per game almost a quarter way through the season.

Does this make the Yankees an above average offensive team

Bad jokes aside, I don't think there's anything wrong with feeling like your team is terrible if they are only average and the expectations are much higher which is how I usually tend to read Yanksposting. I joked about Rich Hill in the GDT last night but it was really a dig at the Yankees partly because they should be better and partly because I'm bitter that the Angels loving suck. Again.

The Yankees were really patting themselves on the back at what a great deal that Hicks contract was too lol. It's also cool that the Yankees give their regular players more days off than any team in the majors and they still all get hurt all the time lol.

For what its worth, McMagic hasn't said anything that seems insane to me in the last two pages. He may be a bit hyperbolic but he's right that the Yankee offense outside Stanton has not looked very effective. The pitching has carried this winning month so far.

I said rich hill isn't garbage and that mcmagic is only claiming he is so he can exaggerate how bad it is to be shut down by him for a game

Makes you wonder about Sir Aaron Boone.

The team is honestly such a bummer offensively. They could be amazing if they'd pull it together, the pitching sans-Taillon has been awesome.

I'm sorry, but Abreu is a collosal dipshit here. He had no business making this play and being halfway down the line, the ball was nowhere near 1st base. And if the catcher somehow drops the ball, who the hell is covering 1st then

I don't know how you separate Boone from the front office. I think they need a wholesale change in leadership.

God, yes. What we're seeing is born of never having a bad team. Two 90 loss seasons in a row and Yankees fans would... well, half of them are frontrunners so they'd stop caring about the Yankees, but the other half would post some wild stuff.

OK. I finally looked at Hill's game logs. The Yankees may in fact be an awful team, but Hill has been decent in his last four starts, after a rocky April. He got yanked after only 44 pitches in his first May start, but he's an old guy.

Anyway, Rich Hill has not sucked in May. His last start of April wasn't too bad by today's standards, either.

I now consider this matter closed.

The new ball is bouncier but has more drag. It makes it harder to hit long home runs but has less of an impact on short homers. I once calculated that a major leaguer wouldn't be able to hit a tennis ball as far as a baseball, because air resistance slows down a tennis ball so much more.

Nobody said anything but isn't this a very wrong opinion? Infielders coming in on a pop up happens every time and Abreu is up looking at the ball. Dozier is looking.....where exactly? Just running blindly? I think it's really just a freak accident but if the fault is on anyone it's on Dozier, right?

In the last 100 years, the Yankees have had more seasons where they won the whole dang World Series than season where they finished under .500. Not last place! Just under .500.
