 Let me give you some stats that kind of amplify what this Yankee team is about On offense American League ranks through May 2nd their first-in-home runs with 32 Their second and run scored with a hundred and nine third total base is 320 tied for third with 14 stone base These are the Bronx farmers 14 stolen bases 247 batting average that seems low right well I think the major league average this year is 232 So they're third in the American League with a 247 batting average and second with a 742 OPS now Let's go to pitching First in strikeouts first and wins first in the array second and save tied for first and allowing just 15 home runs Fourth and batting average against 222 now. This isn't a perfect stat, but it's a stat They have a 993 fielding percentage first in the American League You keep yourself in the top three or four in all of those categories You're gonna win a lot of games and right now they're winning a lot of games and doing very very well, and you guys all know I thought that the biggest competition that they would have would be Toronto. I picked Toronto to win the American League East and So far they've taken three out of five from Toronto And we'll see what they do tonight. Alec Manoa is 4-0, and he's really handled the Yankees well and The Yankees send out Jameson Tyone So we'll see how they do tonight and then the final game will be on Wednesday Thursdays and off they then then the Texas Rangers come into town So they've got it They got a chance to really make some noise if they keep piling up wins the one thing about baseball one thing about sports You win a game. They don't take it away It's not like Jeopardy that you're not gonna lose money when you answer a question wrong So they can go on a five-game losing streak. They're not taking these 10 wins away No, I mean Dave Maloney says it with hockey the points don't go bad. Yeah, and it's the same for wins Wins don't go bad. They still no matter what happens. That's still going to be a notch on the left side of the standings Now one thing that they have that that I think is an exciting component and I haven't had that for a while But they haven't had it since 1998 Tim LaCastro is the real deal he's one of the fastest guys in baseball and If you didn't watch the game last night What they did was stand and let off with a single which was a really important hit and immediately Boone puts in LaCastro to pinch run for stand now They've had fast guys before that pinch ran, but they were very reticent to steal Yeah, they take like even Brett Gardner a guy. I really like he would take forever to steal a base He would have to watch 10 11 pitches and by then it's two outs LaCastro takes off and steal second base That sets the whole thing up and then a couple of batters later Glaber tourist singles to right field No one's gonna throw out LaCastro. He is to this team what Homer Bush was in 1998 That's a weapon in today's baseball because a lot of teams don't have speed a lot of teams They love their catchers that can frame, but they don't really care if they can throw runners out Well, now the Yankees can take advantage
