Pitching has been great, now the bats go limp. Until recently Judge was enjoying a historic year. Other than Judge, Has anyone outperformed the back of their baseball card this year ? How many have even reached their "normal" levels ? |

IF Cole hadn't given up the leadoff double...and IF Cole hadn't walked Tauchman...Paredes would never have come to the plate.... Yes, if Cole was perfect in the 1st inning, they wouldn't have scored, but Torres and Judge had chances to help him and didn't. Of course...IF Cole hadn't given up the leadoff double to Happ, Bellinger would never have come to bat and Gleyber wouldn't have made the error. "What if" can be played and fingers can be pointed all day. Bottom line...not gonna win many games scoring only one run. |

Pitching has been great, now the bats go limp. The only reason pitching SEEMS to be great, was the competition. If their bats go limp against AL east teams, they can expect lob-sided losses. I'm saying this in the nicest way possible but this doesn't fit through a door. The cubs have been one of the hottest teams in baseball and every game was low scoring. The Rangers nationals and cardinals were not and Yankees scored a bunch vs them but the pitching was not good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

How many have even reached their "normal" levels ? Soto has been playing at an MVP level most of the year, but a relatively cool month has him settling down to his career norms, which are still very good. Other than that, no, nobody else is having much of a season. Wells has been playing well, but we don't know what his "norm" is yet. I guess Jazz has been far outpacing his career stats since coming over to the Yanks. I also guess technically Volpe has improved, tough the base was quite low. |

Ohtani's creeping up to Judge...just hit his 46th home run...with 46 steals to match that total.

To me Volpe is the biggest disappointment (well, after "rolloVerdugo"). He started the season with high hopes, hitting line drives, but now he's gone back to his 2023 style,with too many K's, and not enough walks...except he no longer hits the long ball like he did in 2023. So far he's all defense, but nothing special at the plate. |

The weather was perfect today in Chicago for a ballgame, but too bad the Yankee bats were ice cold against former teammate Taillon.
Yankee pitchers went against a hot Cubs lineup and held them to 0 earned for the entire series, so to not get the sweep was disappointing.
RISP fail and bad defense in the first inning doomed them in this game. Walking back to our car we did see Michael Kay standing next to one of the Yankee team buses, outside the ballpark, signing autographs for fans, so that was nice of him.
Big week coming up for the Yanks, with games against Kansas City and Boston.

Hope you still managed to have a good time at the ballpark. You didn't try to get Michael Kay's autograph?  |

Really tired of how this team can't score if Judge is not getting on base 4 times a game and hitting 2 HR's. I swear only the Yankees can play 27 innings and give up 0 earned runs and still lose a game. With all the players coming back from injury and how the team is pitching right now if we just had a little offense I might get excited for a playoff run - especially since no one in the AL seems to be separating themselves from the pack.

We didn't get a Kay autograph, we were hoping to see some "real" Yankees.  |

Even forty-some years ago it was expensive and difficult. Maybe it's improved, I haven't been in awhile. But still worth the minor hassle. |

Being at Wrigley, in your seat is great, but everything else sucks, unless you live in Chicago and can take public transportation. Parking is terrible, making your way northside traffic to make the short trip to Lake Shore Drive isn't fun, sitting in traffic on the Dan Ryan Expressway until you get another highway that takes you to the south suburbs is a drag. It so much easier going to White Sox games. |

But yeah parking has always been awful, much worse than Yankee Stadium where at least you have big parking garages nearby. In Wrigleyville I just remember a bunch of small lots or street parking miles away with a guaranteed ticket. But sitting here in my chair looking back I'm still happy I've been a few times. You'll be able to say you saw in person the White Sox team that was the worst in baseball history! And it was easy to get to! |

It so much easier going to White Sox games. Been there a couple of times...fortunately went with relatives who lived in Chicago, so was able to use public transportation. It's been quite a while...as I recall there was an el that dropped us off right outside the ballpark, much like the 4 train to Yankee Stadium. Didn't have great seats...wasn't crazy about the sight lines. |
