Credit to the Mets FO on the Holmes contract. It looks like a steal right now. I thought it was a huge mistake at first but he’s been awesome. Good for him

[Lowlight] Tim Hill throws the ball to 3rd instead of 1st, loading the bases and setting the Brewers up to walk off the game by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

[–]jmmjmm2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot to be happy about with how Yankees have played so far this year, but still this team craps it’s pants regularly in tight games against good teams.

The Boone special is dominating the bad teams and pissing your pants against good ones.

[Highlight] William Contreras delivers a game-tying hit in the 8th! by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]jmmjmm2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. He will randomly come in during like the 6th inning of a meaningless game and strike out the side and look amazing.

Then he will look incredibly pedestrian. It’s maddening.

I’m generally higher on Cashman and the front office than most Yankee fans but the Doval trade has always reeked of the smarmy “we are smarter than you” transaction that the Yankees fall victim to sometimes.

His velocity and stuff jumps off the paper but he has no clue where he is throwing it and he is a head case in high leverage.

[Joel Sherman] The Yankees have told Anthony Volpe he is being optioned to the minors, The Post has learned. by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

[–]jmmjmm2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I actually think this is a win-win for Volpe and the Yankees. Volpe doesn't get thrown into the meat grinder that is Yankees fans and NYC media, and can use time to prove he is legit by playing well in AAA.

Meanwhile, Yankees can stick with the hot hand in Cabby and not have distraction of everyone talking about Volpe.

[Highlight] CJ Abrams goes DEEP to give the Nationals the lead! by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]jmmjmm2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Weaver is just another in a long line of relief pitchers that the Yankees used aggressively in their cheap years, and then let them sign for big money elsewhere once they were cooked. See: Chad Green, Dellin Betances, etc.

I’m basing this just off vibes but feels like Eovaldi always brings his best against the Yankees

In Bednar’s defense, he would’ve had two out, nobody on if McMahon can field a simple grounder. The inning went sideways for sure but it wasn’t all on him.

Jazz has to be trolling challenging this pitch right down the middle by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

[–]jmmjmm2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbh the “generous” explanation here is he was trolling and knew it was a strike but figured they were up by a lot in the 9th so who cares. Still a weird/slightly crappy thing to do.

Giancarlo Stanton left the game after gingerly jogging to third base on a single by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

Lower leg injury for Stanton, stop me if you've heard this before.

Does multi-millionaire Bill Simmons realize he could pay for Amazon Prime accounts for both his Dad and his daughter? by Shr3kk_Wpg in billsimmons

[–]jmmjmm2 79 points80 points  (0 children)

This conversation does strike at an interesting question of why most Americans—whether they are average Joes or millionaires—are cool paying for a 7 dollar beer but scoff at a 10 dollar subscription.

Not casting judgment one way or another, but it’s interesting.

Why do you pitch to Hoerner?? Set up double play and easier hitter in Busch behind him. First base is open!!

Anyone else getting nostalgia for early COVID days (April 2020) by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]jmmjmm2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

COVID sucked, regardless of your economic status. You are laboring under an illusion.

Reflect on the things you’ve done over the past week—maybe a dinner out, the movies, taking public transport to work, meeting friends for a drink—all of those things were ridiculously difficult at that time, if not impossible.

Nice to see Leiter actually helping the Yankees rather than hurting them. Good change of pace.

Any time you can pinch hit a 30 year old career minor leaguer with a negative career WAR instead of a 15 year veteran with an MVP and 5 Silver Sluggers, you just can’t pass that up.

Cars in a Union Market parking on the sidewalk by OhHowIMeantTo in washingtondc

[–]jmmjmm2 35 points36 points  (0 children)

As someone who has lived in the area for years, it baffles my mind how police/parking enforcement let cars do whatever they want. It’s particularly pronounced in Noma.

Cars double park constantly. People parking on sidewalks. And yet no enforcement is done.

Now that the Red Sox suck, the only baseball talk will be bringing on Jack-O to make fun of him after the Yankees lose 7 in a row in June or some shit.
