The Tale of Two Emotions II


Can we ever just enjoy something?

Yankees' 100th win clinches AL East title 

That should have been the title to this, but we also found out that German is on administrative leave for possible domestic abuse and his postseason is in jeopardy.  I don't have all the detail and my hope is (this sounds wrong) that maybe he was abused as that would be a lot better for us (yeah, that does sound wrong).

Ugh.  German has the highest winning % in the majors.

On a positive note, Tanaka pitched well, Chapman routinely hit 100 and we added to our record amount of home runs.  I can't believe Gardner has 26 Home runs this year.  You could have bet 100-1 odds that he wouldn't hit 13 going into the season.  In what was supposed to be his last year the guy has hit 5 more HR's than he ever had in his career!  His .838 OPS is the best of his career and the only time he ever broke .800 (in 2012 he had an .803 but he only had 31 AB's.)

I hope Stanton can get his groove on because if he is swinging well in the playoffs the lineup is pretty scary.

Voit was hitting the ball hard but not having anything to show for it.

I liked that Didi lined a grounder through the left side and hit it with authority.  

Maybin and Frazier homered and while Frazier hopefully will not be needed to play (maybe a pinch hitter for a pitcher if he makes the team) if Maybin can continue to hit he could play CF against a tough lefty.


Should be interesting as our roster is changing daily.
