"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."

Amazing how different a team can look and play in the absence of a great manager. I'm not quite sure Dusty would have opened up 0-4. Their loss, NYY gain. Joe Espada honeymoon ended in 4 days, Houston fans already putting on the heat.
Juan Soto makes other hitters in the lineup better because they observe first-hand the way he won't swing at borderline pitches out of the strike zone, and the way he forces opposing pitchers to throw a lot of additional pitches, thus bringing up their pitch count to the point of that pitcher receiving an early exit. Players like Oswaldo Cabrera, for example (and others) are taking notice and adopting this into their games as well. Soto's presence and his love of playing baseball, and his overall personality is bringing out the best in all of his teammates. That is why he is going to be worth every penny of whatever it is going to take for the Yankees to out…
Berti positioned himself well to get that ball in the 9th. The ball would have to beat him to the spot, but still leave no room on his own between himself and the foul line. Also RBI hit too. Took over Volpe's spot in the lineup, and came through.
As for Clarke Schmidt, I'm sick n tired of hearing hid problems past the 5th inning, or 75 pitches. Stuff only gets you so far. No. 36 is my 1st, 2nd, & 3rd example of why pitch usage needs to be secondary during the game to pitch usage. Where was just a show me pitch the 3td time through, or even the first time too? I didn't see too much up…
Torres deserves some praise for his base-running today
he scored twice because twice he took an extra base
Soto is a heckuva hitter
and the offense looks good
despite Stanton looking bad
and Judge mostly just looking on
