Will WE even win one against the A's = Hoping so. Go Yanks.
An interesting article on Chapman (???):
Yankees could reportedly leave Aroldis Chapman off postseason roster.
The Athletics are planning on adding left-hander Ken Waldichuk to the team when rosters expand on September 1, tweets Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle. The southpaw is not currently on the club’s 40-man roster, meaning they will have to make a corresponding move of some kind.
Waldichuk, 24, was a fifth-round draft pick of the Yankees in 2019 who came over to the A’s a month ago in the Frankie Montas trade.
He pitched in ten rookie ball games after his draft selection, but then the pandemic canceled the minor leagues in 2020. Returning in 2021, he began the year in High-A and utterly dominated, throwing 30 2/3 scoreless innings over seven starts.
He did walk 11.5% of batters faced, though was able to avoid damage by striking out an incredible 48.7% of those who stepped to the plate against him.
Based on that showing, he was promoted to Double-A. Of course, he couldn’t possibly maintain that kind of performance but still fared well after jumping levels. He registered a 4.20 ERA in 16 appearances, with a 31.8% strikeout rate and 11.2% walk rate.
After that strong campaign, Waldichuk landed on Baseball America’s list of top 30 Yankee farmhands for the first time, coming in at #10 on the 2022 version.
FanGraphs had placed Waldichuk at #53 in 2020 and #45 in 2021, but jumped him all the way up to #15 going into this season.
Here in 2022, the lefty’s stock has been rocketing even higher. He began the year back at Double-A and made six starts, putting up a stingy 1.26 ERA along with a 41.1% strikeout rate and 8.9% walk rate.
He was bumped up to Triple-A and kept on rolling, registering a 3.59 ERA with a 34% strikeout rate and 11.2% walk rate. Since switching organizations in the trade, he’s made four more Triple-A starts with a 3.38 ERA, getting his walk rate all the way down to 3.8% while still striking out 26.6% of batters faced.
Based on another excellent season, he has been shooting up prospect lists. BA recently placed him #5 on their most recent update of Oakland prospects, while FanGraphs is even more bullish, placing him #1 in the organization and the 35th best prospect in the entire sport...

If we need a starter along the line, he may play the role of sacrificial lamb with a DFA at the end of the game for thanks… |

Rays up 5-0 over Miami in the sixth. If they hold on and the Yanks lose, it's only five games difference in the loss column.
Ergo, it would be nice if the Yanks beat up on these bums tonight.
I was unaware until this moment that Jeff Nelson was one of the Marlins broadcasters.

Quick run for the Yanks as Beni goes deep. Wouldn't it be something if he becomes our Brian Doyle of the post-season? |

With 30 home runs, Rizzo just might think about opting out of his Yankee contract after this season.

One game in Anaheim, I was in the section that Rizzo hit his home run. Giambi hit two home runs just to the left and then the right of me, yet the Angels came back and beat the Yankees like 10-9, and I cannot recall more than a couple doubles and the rest singles, that were usually broken bats and dying quails. That was a long ride back home.
