Volpe has been smiling a lot tonight. Good to see these guys having fun after five weeks of torture.
7/27: It's all falling to pieces
- Thread starter jon abbey
- Start date
Teixeira had a really 'weak' three HR game at Fenway one time, one just inside each line. This one is equally weak, 348 on the first one (the other way though) and the 2nd off a position player. He will take it though!
Haha Hoch posted this at the exact same time:

I have to imagine Showalter did this at least once. Quite possibly with his YES days too. I'd rather forget them too, but it makes sense he'd have done a Yankees/Orioles at some point?
Jazz is the third Yankee to have a multihomer game in his first two games with the Bombers, joining Stanton and Maris.
Oh good call! I don't think he did many games on YES but yeah he probably did at least one of those series.
Will Warren MLB debut tonight!

I really did not expect to love Jazz nearly this much or this quickly, that man is a thoroughbred athlete like we have not seen many of in NY. That was a laser down the line in right barely foul, his swing is a thing of beauty.
I wonder if his spectacular debut at 3B yesterday is what kept Gleyber in NY today, through 12 innings he is already the best NY defensive 3B in recent memory.

Great job by Warren. That 3 run HR sucked, but Philly is a good hitting team. Kid did good, considering.
Something is weird/wrong with Alvarado's arm slot relative to extension, almost seemed too wide on the first pitch to where there was no chance it was going to the outer half.
Getting a ton of borderline calls this frame, but when you're that wild like Strahm right now, the ump isn't going to think you're hitting your spots.
Shades of Albert Belle with the no HBP trying for the 4th home run there...
Michael needs to get out of my mind. Three times in a row with my material. 4 in 3 Yankee, 4 in 3 all, Albert Belle comp.

Again for the record, I wrote this when NY was down 4-1, before he homered twice. All 5 RBIs in a 5-4 game and more spectacular D, what an acquisition.
After seeing Jazz play against the Phillies a couple weeks ago, I wrote that he was the best athlete on the field. Boy, did the Yankees need his energy and talent.
I don't ever remember seeing Chisholm before the trade; I had no idea how athletic he was. Seems like he's all fast twitch muscle. Maybe 3B suits him.
I'll get over my Gleyber irritation. I wanted it to be one way, but it was another. I hope he ends up being World Series MVP.

The 5 grounders to start that inning (around the intentional walk) were hit 57 mph, 65 mph, 88 mph, 67 mph, and 64 mph. 3 of those were hits and the other 2 were hit too softly or in the wrong place to be DPs.
The wild pitch did Clay in but that's mostly just luck, one way or another

On Realmuto’s lead off swinging bunt, Holmes could field that ball if he’s not falling off the mound towards first base. A closer who allows weak contact and can’t field his position. Bad combo.
By xBA: Realmuto .350 (single), Castellanos .150 (force), Stott .410 (single), Hays .050 (force), Turner .300 (single), Harper .330 (groundout). So of six batters, an average xBA of .265. If 1.000 equals one hit, you'd expect an average of 1.59 hits. And because these were all pretty definitive singles with none going more than 59 feet, you'd expect first/third but no extras if not for the wild pitch--with it I think this is about an average outcome by equating the hit type into like an RE24. Long way to say I agree.
Wow, that's frustrating if you're Volpe. 98.4 EV, 347 feet. ,340 xBA, out in one park. You already know. Yankee Stadium.
Wells has been great lately, but I think there is another lefty batter that I'd rather see batting cleanup now.
Was a really bad AB. Watch hanging breaking ball, become filled with regret, swing at 2 pitches way out of the zone
This is why as earlier discussed if you have an OF of Judge/Grisham/Soto, you play them that way L to R and take full advantage of Grisham. Judge has played there a few times but anyway it is moot now because they kept Verdugo.
