Perfectly average, for better or worse. Last night's win by 4 gives the score a boost. But winning just 2 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down.

Yankees News

The New York Yankees are in free fall, losing six of their last seven games and now sitting at 49-40, trailing in the division after a disheartening 1-6 defeat to the Minnesota Twins. The team's woes are compounded by a staggering -24 run differential over this rough stretch, leaving fans questioning everything from the lineup to the leadership. Even as José Caballero shines, launching two home runs against his former team, the overall lack of focus from key players like Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole casts a long shadow. With the Tampa Bay Rays on deck, the Yankees face a pivotal moment that could either spark a revival or plunge them further into mediocrity. Meanwhile, Angel Chivilli's return from Triple-A offers a glimmer of hope, but it’s clear this team needs more than just a few bright spots to turn things around.

Cam Schlittler dazzles, leads Yankees to win over Rays

Baseball is beautiful, but more importantly it is extremely weird. With how poorly the Yankees have played over the last fortnight, if I had told you they would only manage three hits in Monday’s series opener with the Rays, many of you would have skipped tomorrow’s game out of disgust. They did only get three […]
