After holding a 15 1/2-game bulge on July 8, their margin over second-place Toronto is down to seven games.

Proud2BAHoosier Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 A few days ago, I posted how I may be witnessing a historic collapse of the Yankees. After todays loss to the Bluebirds, I'm convinced this team will NOT make the playoffs. The Yanks have now lost their 6th series, something that hasn't happened since 1995!! The 2004 AL Championship series still stays with me. In the postgame a visibly upset Aaron Boone slammed his fist against the table saying it has to stop NOW!! And our so-called ACE, Gerrit Cole, gave up 4 runs in the 5th inning. Cole is not the guy, he chokes in every big game. The Yanks also had 19 LOB. IMO, I see them finishing in either 3rd or 4th place. If that happens, Cashman needs to go and call Theo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlboiler23 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Maybe some of the others on here can chime in with some historical tandems but I can’t think of a better defensive 3B/1B duo than Arenado/Goldschmidt. They’re incredible. Another insane play tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also silently making a case for the triple crown. He has the average lead by 20 points. He's 3 homers behind Schwarber and like 3 RBI behind Alonso for the triple crown. He definitely has a chance at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw a stat that Goldy has like 50 less plate appearances than Alonso with RISP. Think how many RBI’s he’d have if the cardinals 1 and 2 hitters could actually get on base. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're starting to hit their stride, I think. Look like they could be a dangerous team in October. Mets and Braves scare me the most. I think we could beat the Dodgers or Padres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Since June 17th. Cubs are 2 games over .500 and Yankees are 6 games below .500....I get why Aaron Boone is beyond ticked. Plenty of time to right the ship but man that lineup is struggling right now. And my Cubs? Least they haven't mailed it in. I'll give them that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that the Brewers have allocated all their resources to maintaining the pitching staff while neglecting the offense. The last time I looked their team BA was worse than the Reds. I dunno, it just seems they are built weird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one guy with over 100 ABs over .260? Yelich is a far cry from what he was when he came over from the Marlins... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 4th in MLB in HRs. Basically their power makes up for the low avg. High OPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
