2 reach on catcher interferences in the same inning?
How many times does that happen?
You guys are blessed, this season.

When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?

The one to Judge was a gift since he swung at a pitch a foot inside. But the one to Stanton was a meatball pitch in a hitters count that would've probably been hit hard. In any case when you're a team as bad as the A's you find many different ways to lose.
That was certainly different.

Yanks rally again. Pen was perfect again. Crazy that we got Trevino for Abreu and now Abreu is back with NY and is dealing.
As much as it pains me to say it, I have to agree that the Yankees not only look like the best team in baseball, but they are currently the best team in baseball. I'm a big fan of run differential, and outside of the Dodgers, who are 20 runs behind the Yankees in differential, no other team comes close.
The good news for non Yankees fans is that once you get to the playoffs, randomness takes over. Obviously, I'm hoping for a first round elimination for the Yankees, but I'll settle for a second round exit.
The Yankees, as always, are very lucky.
Exactly how is this luck? The catcher made a couple of bad plays.
Another stellar outing by the Yanks' staff and just enough offense to squeak out a win against a very tough pitcher.
Well, the opposing catcher having 2 catcher inference calls is certainly not something I would credit to the Yankees as a skill.
Besides, I wasn't even particularly referring to that. I'm talking in general.
Certainly not a Yankee skill. But I don't attribute errors on the other team's behalf as being lucky either. And I disagree that the Yanks have any more luck than other teams. Over the course of a season every team will have some breaks that fall their way and times when they fall the other way. It's baseball.
Regression hitting Taillon pretty hard. Might need to skip a start or a phantom IL stint, he's on pace to throw about 180 regular season innings and that's probably higher than you'd want after just coming back from surgery.
He had a rough first inning and then settled down to pitch a decent 5 innings in total. The big bats did more damage and we swept another series.
He did settle down somewhat, but he had runners on base all day against a weak Oakland lineup and was pretty fortunate to only give up 3.
He had a 2.30 ERA over his first 10 starts and a 5.68 ERA over his last 5 starts. He hasn't reached 6 innings in any of those five starts. I wouldn't say it's alarming, but it should be of some concern.

I can vouch for the weakness of Oakland's lineup. I went to the Tuesday night game when they were at Fenway a couple of weeks ago. Vogt went 1-1 with a HR and 2 walks, but everybody else looked like they didn't know what they were supposed to be doing up there
