For just this season i'd rather the Yankees win 84 instead of 78 just because it would be funnier to see the last place Yankees finish above the Central champs.

There is literally zero difference in my mind between winning 80 games or 84 or 76.

Despite the unfortunate injuries to Judge, etc, and setbacks to Rodon, etc, the manager and players persevered to finish over .500, and we're confident that by staying the course we'll compete for the title in 2024.

imo I think a losing season would be enough for the Yanks to maybe consider canning some people so I’m all for bottoming out and playing the kids in September

Imagine being such a loving moron that you make different decisions based on a 84 win season or a 79 win season. It's within Hal/Cashman's range though........

Gausman's had a weird run.

Elite fireballing prospect that settled into a solid career but always seemed like a bit of an underachiever then at 29 he turns into one of the best pitchers in the game for 4 years running.

I'm happy that the Twins came back to make it a fight, but, man, close losses are disappointing.

Far less demoralizing than a curbstomp, though. On to tomorrow!

Bleah. Though, again, this one hurts less than having to sit on a crushing shutout, at least to me. A close game means there was a chance, and thus there can be a chance. Like, back when we dropped that awful 10-2 game to the Red Sox I was in total despair.

And then, of course, Joe Ryan came out the next day and threw that entire team into a dumpster, as is fitting. Anything can happen!

I would have thought when it hit on the top of the wall it'd be a (regular) homer but I don't know the ground rules there.

balls off the top of the fence are still in play at every park up to a certain thickness, nothing to do with ground rules specific to SF in this case
