Update From Yankee Land

With today’s off day, I figured it was a great time to head on down to Yankee Land and catch up with the Bronx Bombers.  Since we last checked in, the Yankees have gone 12-4 and just had a 4-game winning streak snapped by the San Diego Padres.  They now stand at 37-18 and are tied with Baltimore for 1st place in the AL East (remember only thing that matters is the loss column).  The team has been rolling of late.  So lets dive in.

Update from Yankee Land

I feel it is time for another Update from Yankee Land.  Since the last time we looked in on the Bronx Bombers they have gone 8-5 and now stand 11 games over .500.  They are currently on a 4-game winning streak heading into today’s action but have fallen to one game behind the Orioles for first place in the AL East.  They seem to be righting the ship in a lot of areas as they recover from their late April slump.  Let’s look at where things stand 37 games into the season.

The 2024 Yankees

How big of a Yankee fan am I?  Well, I have been a die hard, life long 49ers fan.  They played in the Superbowl this Sunday.  For the last 2 weeks since the NFC Championship game all I could think about was…. the Yankees line up.  As excited as I was for the 49ers and how badly I wanted them to win, with pitchers and catcher reporting this week, the only thing on my mind is the Yankees batting order and how bad Boone and company are going to screw it up. 

It’s been established that they plan on batting Juan Soto second and Aaron Judge 3rd.  Even Judge mentioned it at an event he was at.  This blows my mind.  For the last 2 seasons all we heard about from anyone around the Yankees, reporters, fans, etc, is that the Yankees need someone to bat behind Judge.  They need to get Judge some protection so teams can’t pitch around him.  So they go out and actually get Juan Soto, which I have been calling for since he was on Washington, and they want to bat him in front of Judge.  Really??!?  After 2 years, we finally get a guy and they want to bat him ahead of Judge.
