From April 8 to May 9, Chapman had twelve appearances with a 0.00 ERA and a batting average against of .111 and an OPS against of .395.
From May 11 to May 22, Chapman had five appearances with an ERA of 14.73 and a batting average against of .474 and an OPS against of 1.469.
Chapman was diagnosed with an achilles problem and went on the injured list.
In fifteen appearances since July 5 (leaving out his first appearance off the IL), Chapman has an ERA of 3.14, a batting average against of .149, and an OPS against of .503.
In the eight of those appearances since July 26, Chapman has an ERA of 0.00, a batting average against of .120, and an OPS against of .274.
Other than two bad weeks in which his achilles problem led to poor mechanics and results, Chapman has been better than anyone seems to want to give him credit.
Meanwhile, Clay Holmes has been awful for the last month, walking more batters than innings pitched, yet for some reason gets a pass, with an ERA of 10.24, an OBP against of a Ted Williams-like .482, and an OPS against of .866.

Holmes also has only a short track record of success, though it was truly nonpareil success. I would have no issue seeing Chapman back in the closer role for the immediate future until Holmes gets his investigative skills back, I just ejaculated that, by the way… |

Forecasting The 2022-23 Qualifying Offers: Position Players.
...Borderline Cases: Mitch Haniger (Mariners), J.D. Martinez (Red Sox), Jurickson Profar (Padres), Anthony Rizzo (Yankees)
Rizzo’s two-year, $32MM free agent deal with the Yankees includes an opt-out clause after this season, and it would seem like the first baseman (who just turned 33 earlier this week) will indeed test the open market again.
Rizzo’s first full season in the Bronx has seen him hit .224/.342/.504 with 27 home runs, with the fifth-best wRC+ (139) of his distinguished career.
Rizzo’s age, home/road splits, and first base-only status will limit his market to some extent, and draft-pick compensation via the qualifying offer will also make other teams wary.
But, Rizzo was still able to land a multi-year pact last winter coming off a lesser platform year, so he should be able to match or better that pact again. Rizzo has quickly become a clubhouse and fan favorite in New York, so this could be another situation where a player is convinced to pass on an opt-out due to a contract extension.

Brian Cashman sheds light on Yankees' failed Luis Castillo pursuit “The price tag coming our way was not something that we were willing to deal with, ultimately,” Cashman said. “Even in the end when the dust settled, with what Seattle did I’m not even sure if our price tag that they wanted from us beats the price tag that Cincinnati got from Seattle. So, obviously we targeted a lot of different players at the deadline, and certainly that was one of them. But ultimately that was it. “What we were willing to do, I feel like we finished second in that conversation. Doesn’t mean I did or we did, there’s obviously no prize for that, but ultimately what it was going to cost for us to pull down that player, that wasn’t a comfort level of ours. “I know we were in the game, and then I think Seattle kind of blew the market away when they finished it off. So congrats to them, they got a great player and we moved on to other targets that we had ongoing dialogues going with regardless. We weren’t waiting on whether we could get Castillo or not, we were certainly ready to pull down anything if the price tags could fit.” www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/brian-cashman-sheds-light-on-yankees-failed-luis-castillo-pursuit/ar-AA110OI1?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=7663db62959c46809502d73ce51b937a |

I wouldn't. Rojas is a terrible hitter and I saw Lopez pitch against the Cubs right after the trade deadline and was underwhelmed by his stuff. He was struggling to get pitches past a mediocre Cubs lineup,maybe he was just having a bad day? I would have just kept Montgomery and called up Peraza to play SS. |

In four starts at St. Louis, Monty is 4-0 with a 0.35 ERA. The influence of Mike Maddox. The best in the business of pitching coaches. It’s that hand he puts on the pitcher’s shoulder, I tell you. Even a touch freak would let Maddox touch him on the mound… |

Even a touch freak would let Maddox touch him on the mound… AND besides Monty being 4-0 witha 0.35 ERA = JP Sears (a lefty) is 2-0 1.76 ERA with the Oakland team PLUS = Waldkhuk (lefty) is 4-0 1.28 with Oakland Farm team.
We traded both if them plus more for MONTAS (a righty) who Yankees' record is 0-1 7.32 ERA.
Great JOB Cash!!!
