Same thing that was said about pitch clock violations. And balking on the third throw over. And replay reviews about an out/safe call in WS game 7. And… (The doomsayers are insufferable.)

Me: “Quinn Hughes would be great at figure skating but this is hockey. Ya gotta shoot the puck son…” (Five seconds later…)

Not gonna lie. Kinda happy for Zibanejad - such an underrated player.

Germany’s ice hockey uniforms are giving a early 80s Vancouver Canucks vibe and I’m here for it.

1st 2026 #Yankees prediction: Fans are going to hate Rafael Montero, likely unjustifiably. High BB% and yields a lot of grounders - his first two appearances are going to have a walk sandwiched in between two seeing eye grounders that lead to a run that blows a lead and the torches will come out.

Great stuff

Zero African Americans.

There are many, many examples of this - Tom’s is a great one.

Part 2…

Tell me your pet’s name in a gif…

Looking forward to the takes from folks who believe the Pirates, Rockies, and Guardians “don’t” have $240 million.

I’m begging the YES network to do this… #Yankees

Not in a position to do a deep dive, but... Not sure how interested the #Yankees are in Bichette, but I'm confident most NYY fans will be disappointed. Certainly, an upside (above average hitter who's been remarkably consistent) but... His days at SS are numbered if not already over. (Con't...)

Watching game 5, 2000 World Series. Al Leiter, sitting on 141 pitches, last two batters BB and line single. Well at least he was given a chance to “gut it out” lol…

Another one! “No” on ARod, Manny, “yes” on Pettitte. 😂

The number of people who’ve forgotten - intentionally or otherwise - that Pettitte used PEDs will never stop being funny to me. #Yankees #HOF

Mike Trout has been held together by duct tape for a few years and just had the worst season of his career by a mile. And he was still harder to get out than Bo Bichette in 2025. Just some perspective on both players.

“Yeah man, can’t vote ARod and Manny because PEDs but Pettitte is a ‘yes’ for me” has always been the funniest HOF take.

There are 7 players with +3000 hits and +500 HR and only 3 of them are in the HOF (since Cabrera and Pujols aren't yet eligible). Also just realized none of them are white

I keep hearing the #Yankees are looking for RH bats. As I’ve said, Hays and Refsnyder SMASH lefty pitching - two low risk high reward options. mybaseballpage.com/2025/11/16/m...

Soccer has reminded us that when you sign big time players, they usually do big time things, and you win. See; Lavelle, Rose. See Also; Messi, Lionel

Circling back on some #Yankees news - Devin Williams was very good last season (yes - yes, he was) and Hal is still a tool. mybaseballpage.com/2025/12/06/d...

Looking forward to all the takes from people who have been concerned about Arte Moreno’s bank account the last few years.

Truth

Spoiler alert: When facing LHP, Austin Hays and Rob Refsnyder were essentially Juan Soto vs all pitching in '25. Both are good under the radar fits for this roster and the #Yankees should get one of them. mybaseballpage.com/2025/11/16/m...

I plan on circling back, but FWIW: Mike Trout had his worst more or less full season in his career by miles. And his OBP was the same as Cal Raleigh's. The gap between Judge and Raleigh (not just OBP - everything) offensively was MASSIVE and I'm so glad just enough people realized that. #ALMVP

This, this, this…

I shouldn’t need to say this but… Judge was a better player than Raleigh in 2025 and it wasn’t that close. #Yankees #ALMVP

Reminder that nobody would know who Joe Maddon is if he didn’t work for, and manage rosters assembled by Andrew Friedman and Theo Epstein - and Maddon bashed “analytics” when fired by LAA. We’re not talking about a particularly bright guy here.

When you get past all the noise, here’s the signal: DePodesta is a good dude, had a big influence on MLB, and got a raw deal with LAD in the before times. This is a good thing.

Sure we've all talked about #WorldSeries Game 7 - but we aren't talking about these things enough... mybaseballpage.com/2025/11/04/w...

I didn’t watch the postgame but I’m sure the entire FOX broadcast team said “You know what? Maybe small ball is NOT how you win in the postseason…” (…lol…) #WorldSeries

I’m going to expand on game 7 when I get a chance but I have to say I can’t stop laughing that we listened to “they win because put it in play!” for a month…then they lost because Kirk hit a 71 mph grounder. Lol… #WorldSeries

Again: Stop bunting. #WorldSeries

How can you not be romantic about baseball? #WorldSeries

If Devon White played with his glove on his throwing hand, while wearing a weight vest, after three shots of Seagrams - he’d be a better CF than Daulton Varsho. What an absolute shit show Varsho has been this postseason.

I’m going to keep saying it: Daulton Varsho is single handedly making me doubt today’s defensive metrics. Put a tent over that clown show in CF.

Watching Gausman absolutely toy with elite hitters for an inning and a half before getting lit up should be a reminder to us all that relief pitchers are comically overrated. #WorldSeries

Posting Springer’s 2017 World Series stats without context is kinda funny

This is getting a lot of play, and I get the pushback, but Murphy isn’t dumb - he’s just stirring sh!t up - and that’s not a bad thing. #NLCS

TOR batters, 7 Ks SEA batters 21 Ks TOR runs 4 SEA runs 12 #ALCS

Either advanced defensive metrics are all wrong or Daulton Varsho is drunk tonight because he’s an embarrassingly bad CF tonight. Like, laughably… #ALCS

“Just” missed it 😂 #ALCS

Toronto is losing a series in which their hitters have Kd three times less often than Seattle’s. And the broadcast keeps telling us Toronto is great because “they put it in play”. Beyond parody. #ALCS

You were wrong about the 2025 #Yankees - it's OK, so was I and so were the experts. They clearly exceeded expectations this year and we should act accordingly - it was a damn good season. Your new opinion: mybaseballpage.com/2025/10/11/m...

I can’t express how happy I am Gleyber is killing it with Detroit. Never been a player in #Yankees history where the production was so incongruent with how he was treated.

Obviously, Judge and Jazz bombs were huge but let’s not overlook: Five relievers, 6.2 IP shutout ball. Boone was five for five on buttons pushed and the pitchers were lights out. #Yankees

Can’t wait until tomorrow morning when I come here and I’m told this is all Aaron Judges fault.

Toronto has put one ball in play. They’re winning 2-0.

#Yankees pitchers have given up 23 runs in 18 innings but I’m told the hitter with the 198 wRC+ is the problem. Talking to folks about Judge around here is like talking to the red cap crowd on the other site. Impervious to facts, and expert goal post movers.
