Quick Hit: Defense Wins Championships!

Defense saved Cortes from trouble early and often, including a Judge home run robbery. Oh, and Judge got his 1000th career hit too!

I guess Cortes didn't like that he was being dangled in trades. Sorta reminds me of Pettitte in '99. I know what Leyritz said about it, but if I remember correctly, instead of trading Pettitte to the Phillies, they went and got Leyritz back to be Andy's personal catcher.

What a fun game. Fun to see contributions from guys - like Gleyber, DJL, Verdugo, Cortes - who have all struggled and at one point or another felt the heat. Add in a clean inning by Holmes for the save.

seeing Verdugo hit the wall with reckless disregard was not a lot of fun, but it was thrilling to see him make the catch and toss the ball to Judge.


that was my idea of full-tilt ball playing


and is not something that you get to see from every Yankee outfielder.


i certainly don't expect pro players to accept injury but it's gratifying to know that some guys see it as a game



rather than a business.

Better to not have to rely on exceptional plays to win.

depends upon which bulls are in the pen.


I'm pretty happy with a starter who allows 1 run and only lasts 5 innings


let's remember that the pen is about to receive an influx of good, fresh pitchers

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
