[QUOTE=Mandy1320;18227171]There have been only four* times in MLB history where the average average dipped below .240:

1887, 1888, 1908, and 1968

Pretty crazy to think about even if you're like me and understand that AVG isn't everything.

*Only once in the modern era.[/QUOTE]

Wasn’t 1968 the year Gibson had that crazy low earned run average and they changed the rules and lowered the mound for the next season.

Yes it was! Amazing what can happen when you allow the shift, deaden the ball, and have everyone out of the bullpen throw 100mph.

So next year there will be no shift allowed and most likely a livelier ball but what are they going to do about all the 100 mph bullpen pitchers.

Exactly. As has been said before, Gallo and Hicks are going to be disasters in the playoffs and could cost the Yankees wins. Deal with them now and let Andujar keep playing and seeing more pitches against people we will see in the playoffs.

It will be interesting to see what Gary Sanchez will be able to do against us in this series. With the way the pitching has been, he should suck it up, but you never know.

Here's why Gleyber's resurgence is no fluke:

I concur. Most of his peripherals look good.

-Top 6% Avg EV
-Top 11% HardHit%
-Top 26% Barrel %
-Top 9% xSLG

Good for Gleyber.

Good to see at least some others can see the bigger picture!

I’d say good luck in this 3 game series but you get to face a rookie with only 1 start in his career, Archer, and Bundy.

Yanks should be heavy betting favorites in every game

So which one of the three are the Yankees most likely to make look like the next Cy Young.

[QUOTE=spuds1961;18229482]So which one of the three are the Yankees most likely to make look like the next Cy Young.[/QUOTE]

I’d say in this order

Archer
Sands
Bundy

I wouldn’t trust Bundy against a D2 squad right now

So Bundy it is. Just watch. He’ll have a great game.

The Yankees in the past have collapsed to rookies making them look like future Cy Young Hall of Famers.

Nice start Judge Boom!!!!!!!

Judge with another HR - 22!!

Stanton second deck!!!!!!

Bash Brothers 2022

[QUOTE=tjforce;18229846]Bash Brothers 2022[/QUOTE]

Hope they're clean.

Taillon already giving up as many hits and runs as last start still ahead 3-1 but looking sloppy at first Rizzo.

[QUOTE=rman112;18229859]Hope they're clean.[/QUOTE]

They're not Ortiz dont worry there clean.

Taillon off tonight but he will piece his way through.

Back and forth game tonight, just glad the twins didn’t let that 3 run first take all the wind out of their sails

Well Boone at least you pulled Taillon before he could get the loss.

Can't wait for luetge to cough up the lead here
