The OFFICIAL Yankees 2026 Season Thread

I am a long-time Boone hater but I love how he had managed this game so far. Loved the McMahon sub when he did it. Loved leaving Cam in.

I've been a Boone apologist, but agreed. He conducted a masterclass last night.

I was questioning letting Schlittler go to 117 though. But man, what a hardcore performance, and kudos to Boone for letting the guy leave it all out there.

Also, regarding Schlitty, how unfair is it to throw a pitch in the top of the zone at 102, then follow it up with an 85 MPH curve in the dirt?

That was his best curve Ive seen all season. Only threw it 10% in the reg season, 30% last night

freak Boston

Now freak Tampa

[SixFeetDeep]

Rays rotation all RHSP

Rasmussen, Peralta, Jax, Martinez

Should allow the Yankees to put their best lineup and best defense on the field

[SixFeetDeep]

Yankees LHB against Boston:

21 for 49 (.429), 34 TB, 16 RBI

Rays LHRPs:
Seymour, Booser, Cleavinger

Expect a ton of changeups from RHPs

[SixFeetDeep]

Rays vs RHP - 110 wRC+
Rays vs LHP - 90 wRC+

Rodon - Will he or Cole start G1?
Headrick
Weathers - back from injury?
Yardbro - made wildcard roster, .170 BAA vs LHB in 24 innings


Tim Hill was bad this year, doesnt K, and left off wildcard roster

[SixFeetDeep]

Rays had the second-lowest xwOBA in baseball against fastballs (all types, either handednes) at 97+ MPH

[SixFeetDeep]

Schlitty all 3

Cole 4 seam 96.8
     Sinker 96.0

Beddy 4 seam 96

Weathers 4 seam 95.6
Started throwing way more sinkers tho

[AlioTheFool]

Is Weathers going to be back?

As for game 1, I think you go with Cole. I love Rodon, but Cole is my guy till he's not.
