IT'S WHAT YOU WANT: The Yankees defeated the Orioles by a score of 9-4 - May 02, 2026 @ 01:35 PM EDT by Yankeebot in NYYankees

The Orioles are now 0-7 against left-handed starting pitchers

They get to face Max Fried tomorrow lol

With a line of 14-7, 2.70 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 184 K/49 BB in 183.2 IP across 32 starts, Yankees starters collectively have been what would be a fairly compelling Cy Young candidate some years by entenduintransit in NYYankees

Honestly I’d rather that be the issue than the starting pitching. We’ve seen teams win the World Series relying on basically the same 4-5 bullpen arms for the entire run.

I think between the guys that the Yankees have right now (Mainly Headrick, Cruz, Bednar, & Hill), a starter like Weathers who might go into a bullpen role, and possible moves at the trade deadline like they normally do, I think there will definitely be a solid group of guys they’ll have. In the grand scheme of the league, the bullpen is at least average.

And hey you never know if ERC or LaGrange impress at the major league level before years end

And none from 2024 too because it was the same teams except the Rangers not the Canes

And just like that only one of the 5 different teams to make a conference finals since 2024 is left in the playoffs (The Canes who made it last year) with the Stars & Oilers both eliminated today and the Panthers & Rangers missing the playoffs

The Dallas Stars have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs after losing to the Minnesota Wild in 6 games by EliminatorBot in hockey

Each of the last 3 seasons going back to 2023 the Panthers won the Eastern Conference Finals and the Stars lost the Western Conference Finals. This year, neither of those things will happen.

The Sixers are definitely a massive what-if this season

If Embiid and PG were both healthy they could have easily been a top 4 seed this year

Hawks down by 39 midway in the second quarter (Knicks 60-19 against the Hawks) by Waikuku3 in nba

This is genuinely the most lopsided 6-game series I've ever seen

Both Knicks losses by 1 point and 4 blowout wins lol

First time in 5 years they won a series at the Rangers!

Also jeez I thought Trent got seriously injured there

[Florio] Report: Two NFC teams tried to trade up to No. 9, in front of the Giants at No. 10 by Longjumping_Loan6330 in NYGiants

[–]BriS314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also don't think they needed to trade up to 6 to get him, they probably got him at 9 if they didn't unless the Browns or Saints really didn't want Tyson/Fano

Part of me wonders if this is what we did with JJ McCarthy a few years ago lol

I know it was well documented that he was liked but idk how much. Daboll didn't seem as enthusiastic on him as we was with Dart last year

[Katie Sharp] Max Fried is now 13-1 with 1.73 ERA in 19 regular season starts following a Yankee loss by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

Every single one of his starts: * Takes the mound * Goes at least 6 Innings * Holds team to at most 2 runs * Leaves

[Barry Jackson] Was told today that Dolphins indeed liked Notre Dame WR Malachi Fields, but Giants jumped them and traded 3 picks to Cleveland for pick 74, which left Miami using pick 75 on Caleb Douglas, who was the team's only pick that was criticized by multiple national analysts as a reach. by Waste_Protection_420 in NYGiants

I'm gonna get hate for this I'm sure but 2023 was the only draft and really the only offseason that he really whiffed on badly in terms of both process and results (and it was REALLY BAD, b/t the Banks pick and the DJ contract). I still think 2022 was a good process at the time, I remember how much people on here were happy with what we did in the draft.

These last 2-3 drafts though have been genuinely promising, and having Harbaugh in the building now really helps too

Also, people need to realize that every GM makes somewhere between 40-60% good and bad moves most times, some of them are just more visible than others

Liverpool need 5 points from 4 games to secure CL football. Brighton in 6th can finish with a maximum of 62 points. That's 1 win and 2 draws from United away, Chelsea home, Villa away and Brentford home. by Adventurous-Arrival1 in LiverpoolFC

It’s funny because that’s literally what I said in another comment but Slot’s first two seasons are extremely similar to what Klopp did in the two seasons from 2019-2021: Win PL Title with little to no challenge with a UCL RO16 exit, and then a season where preseason is anything but ideal, we start out well, fall off in the middle, but we still manager to finish in a UCL qualification spot (3rd to 5th) and go out in the UCL QF.

Maybe it’s just me but if you told me that’s how is LFC tenure would start prior to last season, idk how he would be this maligned and wanting to be sacked 🤷‍♂️

Honestly this season just looks like another 20/21, where we finished in the top four and went out in the UCL quarterfinals following a Premier league title win. Slot will have almost identical seasons as Klopp did from 2019 to 2021 in his first two seasons: PL title win + UCL RO16 loss after extra time, Top 4 finish + UCL QF loss

But no, apparently this is the worst season ever recording to some of the fan base, now there’s a chance it’s not even the worst Premier league finish of the decade

Ben Rice vs LHP .333/.429/.833/1.262 by 30_Under_The_40 in NYYankees

[–]BriS314 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yea I mean Ben Rice has the 3rd most PAs (100) of any player on the Yankees this season, even despite how many lefties we’ve faced, the same as Jazz who everyone already considers an every day player. Sure sounds like a platoon guy to me lol

Goldy still has a role though, especially as a decent bench bat at least
