"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Wade Miley went 8IP today with 11 Ks. Baseball is so weird.

Eric Thames is ridiculous. His whole story is a bit absurd, and I'm kind of skeptical of how he became so good, but its fun to watch.
I think the only thing you can take as a positive if you're a Mets fan is that this game was on the road. Imagine paying for tickets and concessions to watch your team give up 23 runs. A loss is one thing, this was a beatdown.
Cody Bellinger is an absolute animal. Love watching this guy play
