The Yankees are about to overpay to get a starter. Now they HAVE to get someone.

People won’t like this but here’s some facts for you: From Boston Sports Journal via Football Outsiders: The chapter, which is penned by veteran NFL scribe Mike Tanier, is not especially kind to Tom Brady, who Tanier says is “starting to decline,” and he backs it up with FO data: Signs of age were visible all across Brady’s statistics last season. He finished with his lowest DYAR (1,034) and DVOA (15.4 percent) since 2013. He ranked seventh in the NFL in DVOA, his lowest finish since 2013, and ninth in DYAR, his lowest finish since way back in 2003. In a season when passing statistics around the league dramatically increased, Brady posted his lowest QBR (68.8) since 2015, his lowest passer rating (97.7) since 2014, his lowest touchdown total (29) and rate (5.1 percent) since 2013, his highest interception rate (1.9 percent) since 2011, his lowest yards per attempt (7.6) since 2015 and yards per completion (11.6) since 2014. Pick just about any other meaningful metric, and Brady posted his lowest figure of the last three to seven years. It's going to hurt to see the decline of Brady. It's going to happen. No way around it. We are lucky to have great Tom Brady for this long. Maybe he's got one more run left in him. We'll see.

Red Sox have made up a ton of ground on the Twins, who it seems is the first team to pass to get WC1 since the Indians never lose and are only 1 game back now. I'm still looking at the division title though. The good news is that the Sox do have a lot of head to head matchups with the MFY (9 left). They need to go like 7-2 to make up a ton of ground there, however. Can't go .500 in the head to head matchup with the MFY. Not a lot of wiggle room there.

It's like Boone has been one move late all game LOL. Xander the RHB is coming up with CC throwing nothing, Boonehead leaves him in. Xander doubles. The LHB in Benintendi comes up, Boonehead leaves in Green. Benny doubles. Boonehead goes and gets the LHP one batter later.

I wonder if Eovaldi gets the last 2 innings?

Barnes to Workman to Eovaldi. That's how I think this is going down tonight.

Yeah. Damon, Nomar, Ortiz, Manny was as good as it gets. Although I remember Todd Walker being in between those 4 a lot. And Mueller, Varitek and Millar. Even Gabe Kapler OPS'd .798 that year. Oh yeah, I thought we were talking top 4 hitters in the lineup still. My bad.

Please be good Barnes.

I don't know, the 6th was always a problem. He should have been out of the game after that walk.

This is a fascinating question. I forget the exact lineup in ‘03, but I always remember that Bill Mueller won a batting title hitting 8th or 9th. Yeah, that's a better lineup. I forgot how good Trot Nixon was. And Nomar was still great too. Yeah. Damon, Nomar, Ortiz, Manny was as good as it gets. Although I remember Todd Walker being in between those 4 a lot.

The Yankees better get 2 starting pitchers at this deadline, or hope Severino comes back and dominates if they want to have a chance in the playoffs - Astros and Twins are top 2 in wRC+, Sox are 5th, and A's are 10th (not that it will be anyone other than the Sox in the playoffs). Severino had a set back. I think they're talking about him coming out of the bullpen now. He hasn't thrown a pitch all year and it's August almost.

Aaron Boone is also a idiot and is terrible at managing.

Man. Benny has been such a dissapointment defensively this year. He barely got a foot off the ground. He could of jumped higher to try and get that.

Eduardo pitching decent tonight. I think he may only be good for 5 innings though.

Just realized the trade deadline is this Thursday. 5 days away. The only notable trade is the Cashner one. A lot probably going to happen between now and then. That snuck up quick.
