My money is on a trade to start Saturday

That's not a bad guess either

It’s so weird as he seems to chase pitches out of the zone more than anyone on the team, but obviously that’s not supported by savant

So here's a bit of data that might explain why it feels that way. Overall, he chases less than league average. But with 2 strikes, he's a good tick above league average at chasing (compared to the league's average with 2 strikes). So to some extent he avoids chasing by being passive. I started looking for this when I was surprised by how not-that-bad Brooks Baldwin's chase rate was (it's because he was so passive early in the count and near-worst in MLB at chasing with 2 strikes) relative to how it felt when I watched him

Good stuff….Baldwin did seem like someone that would chase when he got two strikes

They need help, but they need to get better beyond a few trades. A lot of sloppy play lately.

Judging by the ESPN pitching diagrams, it looks like Schultz was really getting squeezed - not getting any calls on the corners; I don't know whether those diagrams are accurate, but if they are, better framing and/or challenging could help..

There’s nothing like preforming an embarrassment in front of the New York media. A nauseating embarrassment brought to you in living color on chsn.

Ump hurt them more than the Sox

Luck first career HR by a no-name Yankee, Mindless send by our third base coach, the usual walks by Noah who reached his sorry 3.5 inning limit, Pereira swinging at air - looked like he should not have been promoted, Quero asleep at the wheel and just bad all around, ...anyway, the game should have been much closer but you have to play to win games, not just avoid losing. Try to win two games or maybe at least one against the depleted Yankee team.

Disappointing homestand so far. 1-3 since coming back home.

Fixing the away woes weren't supposed to come at the expense of the home success.
