@ChrisCoop_ They suck, this is who they are, the season’s over.

Wrote about this in my substack, the Yankee offense has basically flipped on its head when it comes to how they handle fastballs/non-fastballs. Through their first 11 games they ranked: xwOBAcon (4th) Fastball xwOBAcon (22nd) Offspeed xwOBAcon (2nd) Breaking xwOBAcon (2nd) Against fastballs by year: 2025 2026 xwOBAcon .437 .335📉 xwOBA .381 .337📉 Whiff% 21.5% 21.1% xSLG .527 .391📉 xBA .275 .222📉 Hardhit% 51.5% 44.8%📉 GB + Popup%: 43.2% 50.3%📈 Such stark differences from last year. Against non-fastballs: xwOBAcon .370 .401📈 xwOBA .292 .294 Whiff% 32.8% 38.7%📈 xSLG .384 .372📉 xBA .223 .187📉 Hardhit% 39.6% 43.7%📉 GB + Popup%: 52.0% 57.9%📈 Lots of strikeouts, whiffs, and ground balls + popups vs non-fastballs which presents its own issue, but still a better quality of contact due to more barrels and doing stuff with pitches when they're lifted in the air. Ultimately though, not much difference from the production vs non-fastballs as last year. Which goes into another area the Yankees are currently struggling with offensively: They haven't gotten much in the air, only a 55.8% Air which ranked 19th at the time of writing. But they did good things when it got in the air, 52.7% Hardhit Air% (1st) and 12.1% Barrel (2nd). Last point I want to make is their plate discipline. I also wrote about in my substack. The Yankees last year were a very passive team. 2025 rankings Swing%: 45.9 (2nd lowest) Meatball (middle middle) Swing%: 76.0 (11th lowest) Zone Swing%: 66.0 (9th lowest) Chase%: 25.5 (1st lowest) Heart Swing%: 71.7 (11th lowest) Shadow Swing%: 49.7 (2nd lowest) Lowest chase in the league (great!), but comes at your own demise at times with lower zone swing rates and heart swing rates, reducing the amount of damage you can do against hittable pitches. But overall a process that placed them comfortably as a t3 offense in baseball, with other teams like the Dodgers that place similarly in these rankings. But here's the thing...this year's Yankees have taken this stuff a step further and been even more passive. 2026 rankings Swing%: 42.5 (1st lowest) Meatball Swing%: 67.1 (2nd lowest) Zone Swing%: 62.1 (4th lowest) Chase%: 25.3 (1st lowest) Heart Swing%: 66.6 (2nd lowest) Shadow Swing%: 49.1 (3rd lowest) These are very steep drops in areas I'm not sure are sustainable, if continued at same rates, to produce similar value as last year's Yankee lineup. Step drops in zone swing%, heart swing%, and middle middle swing% are not good, as positive as it is that they don't chase. The Dodgers offense that had a similar approach to their 2025 team is 4th highest in zone-swing% and 4th highest in meatball swing%. That is where the Yankees will need to get themselves again.

@BronxBmbrz The season's over, dude, we know what this team is.

Randal Grichuk is genuinely the biggest loser ever bro LMAO didn’t even come close to contact at all that at bat yet he easily hits it 450 feet if it’s against the yankees

Randal Grichuk murdered us for years, so naturally, he's gonna get zero hits as a Yankee.

Betting against the Yankees right now is free money. I'm about to make 20 bucks in the last 2 days off this.

Years of umps directly helping us has kinda made us suck at this.

Luis Gil was the stopping point in a potential KYLE TUCKER trade last offseason and he’s in DFA territory.

Holy shit Rory…

Chat, is Marty about to ruin his legacy?

Looks like Rory’s repeating this year, just in a flow state so far.

@jp_gambatese It’s gonna be Jamie Langenbrunner, isn’t it…

Elliotte Friedman on 32T today mentioned the following names for the #NJDevils front office search: Sunny Mehta, Tyler Dellow, John Chayka, Brendan Shanahan, Jamie Langenbrunner.

@lukehdolan We’re on year 9 of Aaron Boone, this is who they are.

@camwoolleyshow That was literally only your 4th loss of the season

Lifeless, anemic, pathetic, these are the New York Yankees.

Outlier game of outlier games from Ryan Weathers wasted by this offense WOOOOOOOOOO

The Yankees season ended today.

Anyone could’ve told you Randal Grichuk would bat below .100 except Brian Cashman.

@JefePil I’m thinking I can maybe break 200.

Don't lie what do you think you'd actually shoot at Augusta? I'm thinking 147

I know they’re 8-4 but the wins are always so much louder than the losses because the team that shows up in the losses is the one that always tends to show up in October.

Forgot the Yankees were playing and now my mood’s ruined.

The role of Yankee closer has been cursed since Mariano Rivera retired.

“Fuck Altuve” chant brb I’m putting 25 bucks on the A’s…
