Upper East Side. Fairly close to da Bronx.

At that level it will be hard to see the baseball past 200 feet. Just cancel the games.

he might stroke out on the mound if he has to breathe this air.

That's about how it looked here, if you could usually see 10 blocks, it was down to 3-4.

If that's the case, cancel the games. I can say from experience that certain neighborhoods will get hit worse than others based on wind patterns and micro climates. If it's that bad in the Bronx, screw it, as much for the fans as the players. People shouldn't be needlessly out in that haze.

So the AQI is around 160 for most of NYC. I don't want to come across as insensitive but Seattle had levels in the 250s before a game was cancelled. Having lived through many smoke seasons now in Seattle I can tell you that levels in the 160-200 range are annoying (eyes will sting a bit), but not so bad that I would change out door plans. When it gets over 200 is when it becomes hazardous for even healthy people and 250 or above is "stay inside". Of course long term it's not good to be breathing in particulates but as far as acute risks there's almost zero at the current levels in NYC. Here is an article that explains it pretty well: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/15/sports/baseball/seattle-mariners-postponed-wildfires-smoke.html

I'll say the same as I did prior to the Tigers series: if they do sweep, it means the season isn't over. We just have so little margin for error the rest of the way, even in a bad division. We need to go on like a 9 of 11 stretch or something, get to .500, and then just stay healthy and battle it out until October with the rest of the mediocre division. I'm dreaming but let's go.

he needs the white stuff the mets used to use in the 80s.

We need some guts from the manager to sit Vaughn and Eloy on occasion. Burger needs to be playing everyday and we don't want to tire him out so some of that has to be DH.

You got a lotta good old soul tracks up your sleeve. Here's another.

Moncada sure, Robert looks like a guy that gets stoned and plays vidya games in his hotel room.

Pitching: A Defense: C Offense minus Zeby: F

NICE. Got the job done. Great job from the pitching staff. Offense can suck a lemon.

Keep throwing sliders. Don't let him look at a fastball.

Great play TA. That was not easy.

he'll blow this you can see it coming a mile away. we should have put this game away long ago.

this is a team of absolute clowns. just lol at that half inning man. 1st guy: supposed to be a 280/350/500 type at worst with light tower power. Reality is a guy with a slow bat that swings at everything and will struggle to hit 250/310/450. breaks two bats because he's got softball ringer attitude to go with that bat speed. 2nd guy: Former 60/60 speed type that now can't beat out a ground ball up the middle and mopes back to the dugout in his neon bling. 3rd guy: Former "best hitter in the draft" currently rocking a 740 OPS flies out meekly trying to pull a slider a half foot off the plate.

Ah nice Moncada hurt himself running to 1st again. Glass man.

Nice effort Yoan.

It's funny they all swing like prime Vlad given how fucking long and slow all their swings are. You're not going to hit that ball hard guys. You can barely hit meatballs.

We have the slowest bats in MLB from guys that are supposed to have 60/70 raw power.

"that looks like a sawed off baseball bat that looks like its going to play third base for the yankees". that doesn't make any sense Jason.

Yankees lineup isn't that good without Judge.

Should really be 5-1 or 5-0. These are the types of games that usually come back to haunt us late.
