THE 2026 BASEBALL SEASON -- 162 GAMES TO PLAYOFFS
Here we are 23 games into the 2026 season with a 14-9 record. At this point I feel very comfortable in saying the Yankees will make the playoffs, and win the AL East division. The YANKEE win total for the regular season should be about 101 wins. I broke the season into thirds, with 54 games in each third. Because the YANKEE starting pitching is just getting better and better with disabled list pitchers returning. Cole and Rodon will be back very soon, and I am not counting on Schmidt at this point in time. I am also looking forward for Volpe's return, returning as an improved hitter and fielder. Watch and see for yourself.
Now let me break down the three 54 game thirds into actual win/loss numbers. Remember WIN METHOD fans, wins are the only number in baseball that determines the best players and teams. Frist third, I went with a low 27-27 record. For the middle third, with Cole and Rodon's return, with Fried, Schlittler, Warren, Gil, and Weathers available, look for the bullpen being better also, with Cruz, Bednar, Headrick, and Hill being the top holdovers. I am not even mentioning Schmidt's return. Middle third record 36-18. Then we come to the final third of games. With the strength of the roster and the strength of the YANKEE minor leaguers, look for the YANKEES to make deals, if needed, to upgrade the lineup. The final third is the race to the finish line and the playoffs. Record 38-16. That will make for a 101-61 won/loss record. Not to shabby.
This blog, your blog, the fans blog is moving slowing but surely to the three billion views level. You, the most intelligent and knowledgeable baseball fans in the world are making this all happen. More baseball fans, each day are learning and realizing that WINS are the only stat in all of baseball that matters, and the only stat that counts in determining who are the best players and teams. Fans from all over the world read this blog everyday. As a matter of fact, the WIN METHOD blog had a fan visit from a country I didn't know existed. I had to look it up. Burkina Faso.
As always, thank you all, every last one of you, with sincere and fond memories, to those fans who have passed away, to the original WIN METHOD fans, to the fans who have come on board along the way, to the newest fans, and to the fans yet to join all of you and the WIN METHOD blog. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH and LETS GO YANKEES.

The offense has got to get the job done. The team is losing games they shouldn't because the offense have not produced when it mattered.
Lets go Yankees.
Goldschmidt leads off the game with HR on first pitch. Hope we score more than one run. How about scoring just enough to win, whatever it takes.
Three run home run by Grisham caps off five run third inning giving Yanks 6-0 early lead.
Yanks up 6-0 after 4.
Warren gives up 2 in 6th and leaves game with 6-2 lead. Bullpen time with a 4 run lead.
Theeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnn, 6-2.
Final. Yankees win 6-2. Warren goes 5 2/3 allowing 2 runs in 6th for a solid game and win. Bullpen final 3 1/3 shutout innings. Goldschmidt solo HR and Grisham 3 run HR the big blasts. Bellinger rbi groundout and Rosario infield single rbi. That's all folks.
Rubber game tomorrow. HEADS UP: Tomorrows game was scheduled at 6:35 but has been moved to 1:05 because of rain later in the day.
Rubber game of series with Fried starting. I can see a win this afternoon.

Seven lefthanded bats. Volpe in at shortstop. What's the over/under on an error?
I'll root for no errors from Volpe and take the under.😀
Yanks down 1-0 after 2.
Third straight start Fried has struggled. Getting hit hard. Hope it is just a blip. Yanks trail O's 3-0 thru 3.
Fried has given up three runs in three innings and Yankee bats doing nothing so far.
Fried after third inning leaves field and goes down dugout steps right into the clubhouse. Something is wrong.
First word on Fried. Left elbow posterior soreness. Hope that is all there is. LIkely out for a couple of starts. -- 10 day DL? Also, Yanks down 7-0 thru six.
Final. Yankees lose 7-0. Bat dead as a door nail. Pitching not good. Volpe back and makes error in first game. Fried leave with elbow issues after three innings. Bad day, bad week.
Off day tomorrow, much needed, regroup, wake up, organize, get back to playing winning baseball, produce when it matters most.
United States of America President Donald J. Trump is presently meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing China. Hopefully this meeting will help stabilize and solve many of the world's problems to make the world better for all people in all nations. Reaching mutual satisfactory agreements on many issues will not be easy, but hopefully these two great men can come together peacefully.
Hope you right WIN, and all goes well at meetings.
The two most powerful men in the world surrounded by dozens of billionaires. So many egos. Wouldn't it be great if they all came to the same conclusion.
Two world leaders trying to make their countries as best as they can be. While far too many other leaders are feckless wimps destroying what is good, subsuming to evil, and hurting the people in their country.
God bless America, the American people, and Donald Trump.
Schlittler, Rodon, and Weathers for this weekend with the Mets.
The Yankee/Met series will be a reunion of sorts with all the ex-Yankees the Mets have.

Seven lefty bats face ex-Yankee reliever Clay Holmes. Lets go Yankees!
After two outs in third, Rice single, Judge single, Bellinger double. Chisholm double for 3-0 Yankee lead.
Yanks up 3-0 after 4.
Final. Yankees win 5-2. Schlittler was great once again. 6 2/3 innings 1 run given up and earns the win. Cruz worked 1 2/3 innings 0 runs. Bednar closed game out 1 inning 1 meaningless run. Bellinger rbi double, Chisholm 2 rbi double, Jones rbi single, Rice solo HR.
Nothing spectacular but a win, that is all that matters. Do it again tomorrow night.
Let's see how much Rodon improves in his second start. Hope he earns the win.

I like this lineup for this game. Interesting maneuvering by Boone.
Rodon looks horrible tonight. Third inning, 70 pitches and counting, poor control, wild pitches 2 runs in. Yankees down 2-1.
Yanks down 5-2 after 6.
Yankee seventh inning of pathetic failure. Load bases with no outs, ex-Yankee comes in and K, K, ground out. The worst kind of failure when it matters most.
Final. Yankees lose 6-3. Rodon take a well-deserved loss; he was awful and was out of game in 4th inning. The offense was the biggest culprit failing over and over when it mattered most. The biggest single event was in the 7th inning, with the bases loaded and no one out the Yankees failed to score, with only one of the three outs being by a batted ball. Series even, with rubber game tomorrow.
A very disappointing game last night all around. Starting pitching, relief pitching, lineup, all failed.

Rodriquez back from AAA for another start. Left lineup for Yankees. If they don't produce when it matters most it won't make any difference.
Rice HR only Yank run. 1-1 thru 4 innings.
The Yankees score 4 runs in the top of sixth, with a the biggest hit from Volpe, a 2 rbi single when it mattered most.
Yanks up 6-3 after 8.
Bednar blows save, giving up three run game tying home run. Biggest failure when it matters most. 6-6 on to extra innings. Very sad.
Wells up, men on 1st & 3rd with one out. Hits into a DP on first pitch. Another gigantic fail by a Yankee when it mattered most. Very sad.
Final. Yankees lose 7-6 in ten. Lose third series in row. 2-7 on road trip. Hill gets the loss. Bullpen a mess. Volpe only bright spot for Yankees.
Yankees blow 6-3 lead in ninth and lose game in tenth, 7-6. A truly heartbreaking game.
Yankees give today's game away losing 7-6 in ten innings. Hit bottom!
Yankees back home tomorrow, hope things change on a dime and get back to winning again. Playing like garbage right now.
Weathers is listed to start tonight. Need wins, when do we need them, NOW!

PLAY WIN METHOD BASEBALL --
Yanks up 1-0 after 3.
Yankees trail 4-3 thru 5.
Bottom of seventh, Bellinger and Chisholm with two run home runs. From down 5-3 to up 7-5. Need two innings from the bullpen.
Bednar almost blows another game. Springer saves him after being 3-0 Springer swings at three pitchers out of the strike zone. Bednar gives up 1 run but holds on for a 7-6 win.
Final. Yankees win 7-6. Blackburn gets the win in relief. Cruz a hold and Bednar a save, barely hanging on by the skin of his teeth. Goldschmidt a solo HR and rbi double, Bellinger a 2 run HR, Chisholm a 2 run HR, and Escarra a sacfly rbi. Weathers gave up 4 runs but wasn't as bad as it looks on paper.
Warren's starting tonight. Yankees eked out win last night. Do it again.

Our left handed lineup. Minimal strikeouts, put the ball into play, think and play smart, most of all produce when it matters most. Warren six innings, max 2 runs.
0-0 after 2.
We have an old fashioned pitchers duel through three innings. Both pitchers dealing and looking sharp. 0-0.
Yankees announce that Cole will start Friday nights game at Stadium against the Rays.
McMahon with three run HR in 4th ties game at 3.
Wowser! After three dominant innings from each starter tonight. Warren gives up three runs. Then Cease gives up three runs.
Rice two HR in fifth, 5-3 Yankees.
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnn 5-4.
Final. Yankees win 5-4. Warren goes five innings with one bad inning giving up 3 runs. The runs were scored on soft hit balls that found grass. Yankees scored on McMahon 3 run HR and Rice 2 run HR. Bullpen worked final four innings, Hill, Bird, and Headrick worked the 6th thru 8th innings without giving up a run. Doval pitched the 9th and was shaky as heck and made the last three outs nail biting. Gave up a run, tying run on third but got the last out on a ground ball for the save. Yankees take the first two games of this series.
We got two big hits when it mattered most, and the bullpen got the outs when it mattered most. The players and teams that produce when it matters most win games. The Yankees won the game tonight. That is the WIN METHOD.
Schlittler tomorrow, Rodon on Thursday, and Cole on Friday.

Pitcher duel? Glad to see Goldschmidt in lineup. An accomplished professional WIN METHOD bat.
Looks as if there me at least a one hour rain delay at the Stadium tonight at start of game.
It is raining and pouring here in NYC.
Game starting now.
0-0 after 3.
Yes, it is a true pitcher's duel. Scoreless after six innings. Both pitchers in command.
Final. Yankee lose the pitcher's duel 2-1. Schlittler allows 2 seventh inning runs for the loss. Yankee threatened in bottom of ninth scoring their lone run. Close but no cigar.
Rodon starts tonight's game. I am a bit disappointed with his performance so far. After coming back from surgery and beginning the road back to pitching competitively, he has made several starts in minor league games, slowly building his pitch count, arm strength, and regaining control. When he was assumed ready, he was added to the Yankee roster and has made two starts. Neither start was good nor encouraging. He threw a lot of pitches, was hit hard, and walked too many batters. He pitches like that tonight and the Yankees won't have much chance unless the lineup comes alive and scores big time.

I Rodon ready yet? To pitch well and win is really the question. Grisham out, tweaked knee last night.
Yanks down 1-0 after 2.
Yanks trail 1-0 thru five innings. Rodon went five decent innings, but far too many pitches. 90++
Yanks down 2-0 after 7.
Yankee bats pathetic tonight. Behind 2-0 after seven. Two more tries.
Final. Yankees lose 2-0. Rodon goes five long innings and takes the loss. Yankees lineup slept through the game. If they don't wake up for the Tampa series starting tomorrow, hope it gets rained out all weekend.
The good, the bad, and the ugly of this four-game series with Toronto. The good, the Yankees did not lose the series. The bad, the Yankees should have won the series after winning the first two games. The ugly, Aaron Judges horrid at bats and contribution this series.

Welcome back Mr. Cole. Lets Go Yankees.
0-0 after 2.
Wells with a fifth inning home rum for first run of game. Yanks up 1-0 thru fifth. Cole has been fantabulous.
Cole in his first MLB games in 559 days goes six scoreless innings with just 2 hits. In complete command and leaves game leading 1-0.
Yankee bullpen blows it, giving up 4 runs in 8th inning. Trail 4-1 coming to bat. Problem being, the bats are dead.
Final. Yankees lose 4-2. Waste a magnificent comeback game from Gerritt Cole who went six scoreless innings allowing just two hits. Yankee bullpen ineffective again giving 4 runs. Aaron Judge with his 11th consecutive pathetic game. The Tampa Bays are looking like one heck of a team right now. The definition of WIN METHOD baseball.
Todays Yankee game has been rained out and will be rescheduled for September.

Could really use a win today. Ain't going to win unless the lineup hits when it matters most.
Scoreless after five. Weathers doing his job, Yankee lineup not doing their job.
0-0 after 6.
Yankees come to bat in ninth with score 0-0. Need just one run to win. >> Grisham leads off. After being down 0-2, Grisham takes 4 straight balls for a lead-off walk. Schuemann in as pinch runner. Judge hits HR. Yankees win 2-0.
Theeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnn, 2-0 on a Judge walk off HR in bottom of 9th.
Todays win may turn out to be the biggest win of the season. Weathers was great, Bellinger made a major play throwing runner out at third base before runner touched home on a base hit to leftfield.
Unusual late afternoon game in KC today, 3:40 start. Warren starting. Will Judge walk-off HR blast awaken Yankee lineup.

Volpe 2 rbi single in 9th gives Yankees 4-3 lead in. Can Bednar save it.
Theeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnn 4-3.
Final. Yankees win 4-3. After taking a 2-0 lead, then failing multiple times to produce when it counted most, including failing twice to score a runner on third with less than two outs, the Yankees scored 2 runs in the 9th inning for the 4-3 win. Warren went six innings giving up 2 runs and earned a no decision. The bullpen went three innings giving up one run. Bednar got the save and Hill the win. Volpe got the big hit for the win with a hard hit single scoring the tying and winning runs.
Schlittler tonight for Yanks and Cole tomorrow, something to look forward to.
How many of you have heard of Graham Platner. He is running for a US Senator seat in the great state of Maine. Graham Platner is the 'rat' in demonrat. He is one of the most despicable on Earth and maybe further. Platner is a "hater". He hates America, he hate you the American people. He specifically hates Jewish people and people smart enough who believe in freedom and the American way. His bosom buddy is the lowlife degenerate socialist communist Bernie Sanders.
Graham Platner is the new darling of the most criminally corrupt politicians in America. Every one of these politicians are part of the 'in name only' democrat party. The old democrat party is now the party best known as dumocrats, demonrats, radical left-wingers, socialists, communists, liberals, progressives, that are doing everything they can to destroy our county, America, the greatest country in the world.
Voters in Maine, please help save your state, your country, do not vote, do not even think about it, for Graham Platner. VOTE FOR SUSAN COLLINS -- she is not perfect, but she will represent you. Platner will represent only the scum of America, the haters of America, the haters of the American people, and the haters of American freedom.
Hear, hear, I 2nd your comment.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 you said it all and you spoke the truth 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
If we in Maine do not vote for Collins, we will lose out state.
Platner in not a good person, he defines demonrats along with all the demonrat governors, mayors, senators and representatives.
What is called the democrat party today is far far leftwing, whacked out of their mind, and will totally destroy America if they ever gain control of the government again.

Lets win tonight.
Game time, let's score early and often.
Yankees send seven batters to bat in first inning. All seven made very hard contact. The first two batters' outs on the first pitch each sees. Then HR, double, rib single, 2 run HR, line out. 4-0.
Yanks up 5-0 after 2.
It looks like you called it Boston Yankee. Yanks lead 9-1 through 3 innings.
Schlittler is coming out of the game. No need to push him. Goes six inning, gives up one run on four hits with no walks. Leaves leading 11-1. Earns the win. Bullpen gets some no pressure game innings.
History making game by Yankees tonight. This is the first time in Yankee franchise history that all nine Yankee starters had at least two hits in the game.
Final. Yankees win 15-1. Game was over in first innings. Schlittler goes six innings allowing 1 run and earns the win. Yarbrough worked the final three innings and earned a save because he pitched three inning. Every Yankee in the starting lineup had a hit, and it was also the first time in Yankee history that every hitter in the starting lineup had two hits. A laugher to say the least. Best of all, Schlittler had an easy outing throwing only 75 pitches and no pressure.
Cole start final game of KC series as Yankees go for a three game sweep. Second start after year and half layoff for TJ surgery.
What a display of offense from the Yankees last night. Too many wasted hits and runs. The win is all that mattered, all the other numbers are for the stat frauds to make them salivate.

Cole second start. Repeat of first start will be fine.
0-0 after 2
Yankees score first with 2 runs in 4th. Goldschmidt single, Rice rbi triple, Judge sac fly. Lead 2-0 after 4.innings.
Yankee hold 2-0 lead thru 6. Cole pitching a gem again.
Goldschmidt bases loaded walk and Rice 2 rbi single in 7th gives Yankees 5-0 lead.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep 7-0 win. Off day tomorrow. Then Oakland for three game weekend series.
Final. Yankees win 7-0. Cole goes 6 2/3 innings for the win 4 hits 0 walks 10 K's. Cruz 1 1/3 four up four down. Doval 1 three up three down. Rice with 3 rbis, McMahon with 2, Goldschmidt with 1 and Judge with 1. Cole has been unbelievable in both of his comeback starts.
Rodon, Weathers, and Warren slated for the A's series over weekend.
Nice having a day off after the last three games. The team needs to stay focused and win this series over the weekend. Do not take anything for granted. Everyone produces.
With no Yankee game today, I believe this is a good time to make my point.
Across America in November there will be mid-term elections, federal, state, city, and local elections. >>> It is imperative that all legal eligible voters partake in these elections. NOT ONE PERSON WHO VOTES ILLEGALY HAVE THEIR VOTE COUNTED.
If we the people want this country, our country to continue to move forward and be the best it can be, THIS CAN ONLY HAPPEN IF WE VOTE FOR CONSERVATIVES AND REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES IN EVERY ELECTION. A vote for anyone, no matter what they say or claim who and or what they are should not be elected to any office, even dog catcher. The democrat party is not more, it is the domonrat party also known as the scum of America. The are radical leftwing liberals, progressives, communists, liars, criminals, socialists, who will hurt you, me, our families, friends, and neighbors.
ONLY YOU CAN SAVE AMERICA BY VOTING CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.
Couldn't have said it better. Everyone must vote, and must vote Republican conservative.
There will be some major elections in November. Everyone has to vote republican so that Trump can get his agenda passed which will make America and the American people flourish. The demonrats will lie true their teeth to try to prevent that. The demonrats must be crushed with votes. I wouldn't be surprised to see them increase the violence they are causing now in the name of peaceful protests. The are lying to our faces now.
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP AMERICAS PRESIDENT

Rodon needs to shut the door, and the lineup needs to continue last two games output.
Yankees give Rodon lead in first innings, rbi single by Judge and a 3 run HR by Goldschmidt.
Yanks up 6-1 after 4.
McMahon with a HR. Yankees lead 7-1 after 6. Rodon looking good.
Theeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnn, 8-2. Take first game of series with the Athletics.
Final. Yankees win 8-2. Rodon went six strong innings for the win allowing one run. Rice, McMahon solo homers and Goldschmidt with the big blast of game a 3 run home run.
It feels like Judge and Cole finally each got their sidekick with Rice and Schlittler. Like Robin to their Batman.
And somehow an amazing third option Bellinger and Fried.
This team has the stuff, just need to execute and produce when it matter most.

Lets go Yankees.
Yanks down 2-0 after2.
Yankees again with no support for Weathers, failing to produce when it mattered most every opportunity they had. Yankees down 5-1 after seven.
Final. Yankees lose 6-4. Yanks load bases in ninth, then Rice rbi walk. Judge rbi walk. Bellinger rbi walk. Chisholm grounds out. Yanks score 3 runs and game is over. Weathers takes the loss, giving up three home runs.

Rubber game of this series. A win means a step forward, a loss means a step backwards. Failure to produce when it matters most means losses, producing when it matters most means wins.
Yankees score 13 runs in 3rd inning. 18 batters came to the plate. Only 3 made outs. Time to start laughing. Should be a fun flight back to NY.⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾
Yanks up 13-3 after 4.
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnn 13-8.
You want to talk about a crazy game. How about today's game. The Yankees in 8 of the 9 innings went 3 up 3 down never putting a man on base. On the other hand, the A's scored 8 runs on 12 hits and 1 Yankee error that allowed 3 unearned runs. Score or game - Yankees won 13-8. What the hey? Yes, the Yankees scored 13 runs in the 3rd inning sending 18 batters to the plate. They had 4 walks and 11 hits that add to 15 men reaching base, the other 3 recorded the outs.
Final. Yankees win 13-8. Weird game. Warren goes six innings allowing 3 unearned runs and looked great again. Bullpen horrid allowing 5 runs in 3 innings. The Yankees scored all their runs in one inning, the 3rd. Every man in the lineup batted twice. Everyone contributed. The other eight innings, not one Yankee reached base. Yanks take series 2 games to 1, take road trip 5 games to 1. Now head home with a day off tomorrow.
Yes, a very strange game, but the win is all that matters.
I was just going back and trying to put yesterdays game into context. I was likely a one in lifetime game for every baseball fan. Come to bat in eight innings and record no runs and not hits. Your pitchers give up eight runs and you still win. Just think if the Yankees only scored a few runs in that inning, we would be talking about losing the series and how pitiful a loss it was. Simply an amazing odd game for the story book.
Yankees open homestand with a three game series against the Cleveland Indians. The Yankee starters will be, drum roll please, Schlittler, Cole, and Rodon.

OK guys, Judge is not in the lineup, so play a little harder and smarter. Cover the captain, play WIN METHOD baseball and win the game.
0-0 after 2.
Goldschmidt 2 run home run gives Yanks 2-1 lead after three.
Schlittler off tonight. Being hit hard and has allowed a double, triple, and home run for 3 runs thru 4 innings.
Yankees scoring, but Schlittler keeps giving runs back. His worst game of the season. Goes 4 1/3 trails 5-4 and men on 2nd and 3rd his responsibility with one out. ☹️
Yanks down 5-4 after 5.
Yankees with a horrid game tonight. Go down 9-4. No pitching, no hitting, no defense. Ugly loss.
Final. Yankees lose 9-4. Schlittler with his worst game as a MLB starter. 4 1/3 innings, 5 runs and takes the loss. He was hit hard and seemed to have little to nothing tonight. The offense was one person, Goldschmidt. Goldy had all 4 Yankee rbis, a 2 run HR and a rbi double. The Yanks still had a chance when the bullpen came into the game, down by just one run at 5-4. Bullpen gave up 4 runs while 8 Yankee bats were silent. Bad games happen.
Last night that was the hardest I have ever seen Schlittler hit on a consistent basis. It started in the first inning and never stopped. Hope it is only an off game. I've seen some of the greatest pitchers in baseball history have a game like that. Every one of them.
I hate losing the first game of a series. Not that you still can't win the series, but.

Final. Yankees lose 5-4. Another Yankee starter fails as Cole gives up 3 home runs accounting for 3 runs for the loss. Caballero and Chisholm with solo HRs and Bellinger with two sacfly rbi's. Not enough. Horrid series which is lost. Rodon tomorrow to try to not get swept.
Day game today. Maybe the Yankees will see the light and win.

Rodon in the role of stopper. Indians been scoring runs, can Rodon stop them?
1-1 after 4.
McMahon rbi single gives Yanks 2-1 lead after seven. Lets hold it.
Yanks win 2-1. Another win for the team that produced most when it mattered most. Both starters went six inning and both left with a 1-1 and no decisions. Yankee bullpen wins out with three scoreless innings to two for the Indians.
Final. Yankees win 2-1. Avoid being swept by the Tribe. Rodon went six great innings allowing 1 run and kept Yankees in game. Hendrick with a scoreless 7th earned the win. Cruz with a scoreless 8th earned a hold. Bednar with a no drama 1,2,3 9th earned a save. Chisholm with a sacfly rbi for Yankee first run, the a walk, stolen base and scores winning run on McMahon game winning rbi single in 7th. bosux in town this weekend for three game series. Lets win that series.
2-1 win as the bats are dreadful. but it is a win.
Weathers, Warren, Schlittler for the sux series this weekend.
Judge injury serious. Likely out at least two months, could be worse. Say a prayer and hope for the best.
Awfully bad news regarding Aaron Judge. Looks like best case scenario he may be back around September 1st. Pitching should still be good enough to make playoffs. Judge's loss is losing the best baseball player in the game. The best of the best can't be replaced.
So sad. 😢

Seven lefthanded bats as Jones is back for another chance. Need production when it matters most and pitchers the same. Play for the captain and play WIN METHOD baseball all the time.
Yanks down 2-1 after 3.
Yankees down 5-3 after 6.
Final. Yankees lose 5-3. Weathers gives up all 5 runs over six innings and takes the loss.
Rice solo HR. Grisham solo HR. Jones rbi double. That was it.
Yanks go down 5-3. Offense looked lifeless. Yankee starters are going to have to pitch 1 or 2 run games to have a chance to win the way the offense is going.
Warren tomorrow night for a much needed Yankee win. A big slide could be catastrophic.

Sanchez up to catch. Right handed bat, good defense. Need a win.
Scoreless thru four. The Yankees failure to produce when it matters most is killing them.
Yankees win 6-1 with a 5 run 8th inning.
Final. Yankee win 6-1. It was not as easy as score might suggest. 1-1 game after seven innings. Goldschmidt rbi single for 1-1 tie run. Bellinger HR in 8th for winning run. Grisham rbi single for insurance run, Chisholm 3 run HR for the icing on the cake. Schlittler 5 2/3 allowing 1 run. Bullpen, Headrick, Cruz, Hill, Bednar go 3 1/3 shutout innings as Hill earns the win. Needed this game.
