We've got 9 games before we host Tampa for 4. If we can get to within 1 game of them, and win the opener, it's a best of 3 for the division. Of course we go on to host Baltimore (3) and they go on to visit Philly (3). Should be an exciting finish.

I noticed Volpe had a Stance Change too, So that might have been his hitting issue.
Damn Cole gives up another lead off homerun to start a game, not liking this new trend he's started
Cole pitching batting practice, he's given up 3 home runs for his 2nd start in a row
Cam Schlittler for Cy Young?
31 GS, and in 21 of them, he didn't allow more than 1 run.
184.2 IP; 228 K's; 42 BB; 14-6; 1.95 ERA
The funny thing is in 4 of those starts allowing 1 or less runs, the Yankees lost the game because they couldn't score any runs. He should actually be 18-6. His last 10 starts, he's 4-0 with 60.2 IP, 10 ER, 1.48 ERA
Supposedly, it's between he and Dylan Cease.
Cease has held opponents to 1 run or less in 15 starts. He's 11-5 with a 2.38 ERA, 166.1 IP, 236 K, 72 BB.
I'm biased but Schlittler's numbers are better.

For once, Cashman didn't trade away top prospects at the deadline for fleeting talent. Reportedly, to get any other top-flight trade target, the cost was either George Lombard or Spencer Jones. He made 2 acquisitions in Luis Garcia, Jr and Heliot Ramos. Garcia is #3 in slugging (.551) behind Alvarez and PCA in MLB. Since being traded to NY, he's hitting .306 with 7 homers, 15 Rbi with a line of .341/.524/.865 OPS.
Instead of trading those 2 prospects, Cashman said, "fuck no" and brought them up from the minors. Spencer Jones is hitting .263 with 9 homers and 23 rbi but that includes an earlier stint of 30 games in May and June where he hit .233. In the last 30 games, he's 33 for 99 (.333) with 19 runs scored, 19 Rbi, and a line of .385/.535/.921 OPS. Lombard has struggled at the plate but has been stellar at shortstop.
Here's the interesting thing with Jones. The Yankees achilles has been against left handed pitching since Judge went down. Jones a 6'7" left handed hitter, has gone 19 for 45 vs LHP with a .480/.689/1.169 slash line. The Yankees got better at the trade deadline and it didn't cost them much at all.

Girardi was gushing over Jones when he was announcing one of the Yankees games last week. If he learns to stay off that high strike he'll be really good. He's supposed to be really good in the outfield too but he makes me nervous out there after seeing him trying to field a couple of balls hit off the wall in right
I think he has rookie mentality. Forget that shit. You are the centerfielder >>>>>>> anything you can get to is YOUR ball. As far as playing caroms off the wall, that'll get better the longer he plays.
He is going to be a terrific Yankee and I'm so glad Cashman didn't trade him for some asshole who would be a free agent next year.
I'm serious......when you look at it, the Yankees got stronger by not making a bunch of moves at the trade deadline. Lombard and Jones are now with the big league club and won't be going anywhere. To make matters even better, Volpe went down, worked hard and has improved. If I were the GM/manager, he would also stay with the club and I'd DFA Rosario. I'd also tell Caballero, if you challenge another pitch in the third fucking inning, you will be fined.
Warren with another nice start, Judge crushes one up in the 3rd deck. Hopefully Schmidt & Weathers can get some innings in middle relief these last 2 weeks because I don't want Tim Hill anywhere near the mound in the postseason
His last 4 starts......2-0, 23.2 IP, 4 ER, 1.52 ERA. Kid is kicking ass.
Girardi was complimenting them on their season, so far.
Judge missing 85 games.
Stanton missing 126 games.
Bellinger missing 27 games.
Grisham missing 29 games.
Fried on the IL twice, making only 18 starts.
Cole's first start was the end of May
Rodon's first start was early May and then he missed 6 weeks in July and August.
This team has suffered more injuries than any other contender and yet they're right there. It has been a stellar managing job by Boone, a guy who gets waaaaay too much grief from Yankee fans.
Did you hear what Joel Sherman told him in his press conference the other day after he injured his knee playing long toss with Judge?
"Oh wow, the last time we saw a knee injury that bad, A Rod showed up in the clubhouse!!!!" LMFAO!!!!

I just read an article about the 2026 Cy Young Award front runners. Certainly, Schlittler and Misiorowski look like they've got it wrapped. On Schlittler, his dominance has been unique. 21 of 31 starts in 2026, he's allowed 1 run or less. We could go back even further. He debuted in July of 2025, went 4-3 with a 2.96 Era in 14 starts. Incredibly, 8 of his last 11 starts in 2025 (including the postseason), he allowed 1 run or less. So, including last year, he's allowed 1 run or less (runs, not earned runs) in 29 of his last 42 starts. What is his Era over those 13 months? 1.96!!! If it were Clayton Kershaw or Jacob DeGrom or Tarik Skubal we were talking about, they'd have shipped the trophy to them already!!!!
He'll be back for the postseason. In the meantime, Spencer Jones is going to make it extremely difficult for the Yankees to keep him off the postseason roster.

Well hes prob has a few more starts to pull away. Should Def be near a 20 win season, but offense has to ruin nice things. Would have been nice, Our Last 20 win pitcher was CC I think then Mussina before him in his last year!
