I never use my platform this way but I’m going to make an exception today. This incredibly brave boy, Breckon, is in my daughter’s class at school. He is currently battling Leukemia for the second time and he’s had to some spend some extra time in the hospital getting treatment

The only conspiracy theory on planet earth that I sort of believe is that there’s more to the Ohtani gambling story than we’ll ever actually know.. The entire thing basically comes down to Ohtani being oblivious that his best friend in the world was stealing money, gambling it

I want to throw up. No city connect jersey. No facial hair policy. All this gatekeeping about the Yankees traditions and the second someone writes a big check they do this? This is pathetic on so many levels.

Anyone who watched Trevor Bauer today knows he didn’t look great at all. But also - It didn’t matter if he looked like Pedro Martinez or Kei Igawa. He’s never pitching in MLB again. His MLB career is over. There is no amount of whining on this app you can do to change that. So

Three scoreless innings for Trevor Bauer vs the Yankees - while sitting at 96-98. He should be signed by tomorrow morning.

Emmanuel Clase was due to make at least $26M over the next three seasons for the Guardians. He threw it all away for $12k. Might even do some jail time for it. This is easily one of the dumbest stories I’ve ever seen. These guys deserve everything that comes their way as a

I heard the Blue Jays scouts told all their players before the series that if you just put the ball in play against the Dodgers, they’ll eventually beat themselves.

Daulton Varsho leads off the fourth inning with a triple that gets by a sliding Teoscar Hernandez!

Ben Rice can never move from hitting ahead of Aaron Judge. He’s getting the Juan Soto treatment from last season. Teams are afraid to pitch to Judge, so they’re coming directly after Rice and Rice is making them pay for it. It’s fun to see those insane metrics from last season

For the first time ever, there’s a small part of me that wants the Yankees to implode down the stretch this season. Make it so bad that they have to make changes. Feels like the worst thing that can happen is they squeak into the playoffs and give the front office an excuse to

My sister is getting married when the Yankees game starts tomorrow. She specifically came up to me today and said I’m not allowed to have my phone in my pocket during the ceremony. I felt personally victimized by this.

Coming into this series, I was kind of expecting Juan Soto to have his “Mets” moment at Yankee Stadium. Just seems like that happens to the Yankees a lot when there’s a player to who is intentionally targeted by fans in the Bronx. Instead, his replacement, Cody Bellinger, had

The Yankees won 94 games, won their division and won the American League Pennant. If you want Yankees fans to stop living in the past, then that’s fine. But then you can’t also hold the Yankees and their fans to the same standard that they were held to in the past either. To

This is actually insane and just shows why we shouldn’t care about league awards. Judge and Raleigh come into tonight with even odds to win MVP. Judge hits two HRs. Raleigh hits two HRs. Raleigh’s odds jump to -200 and Judge goes down to +160. If that doesn’t tell you that

If Juan Soto is actually on the market, Brian Cashman should hand AJ Preller a blank piece of paper and tell him to write down any four players not named Anthony Volpe and then do the deal. It really should be that simple.
