Day 265

Fresh Start_265: Just a small update 100 days from 365
100 more days away… just over 3 months until I will have written an article for an entire year. It is crazy because this doesn’t seem like a challenge to the extent that I thought it would be when I started this whole journey. Creating the idea and challenging myself to write everyday has made me a better writer; which is something I wanted to accomplish when I first started. I think I am a better writer every day that I write. I find my voice more and more throughout each article.

The challenge now is staying true to that promise. The routine of sitting done, finding time to read and research and write the article isn’t hard, and has become more and more enjoyable with the more I do it. I have hit some road bumps with posting times every now and again, but if you aren’t late or a little off schedule—you aren’t human. Today will be late, and the past couple days I haven’t been putting out a “In Between the Pinstripes,” and that’s because I have begun to start to get into a pattern and it wasn’t fun to sit down and write what seemed to be the same response every night. So, for this past series, I just watched the game as much as I could and enjoyed the game again. I will start up that series of articles again sometime soon but that series is coming to halt for now.

I would have done the same thing with this series if I thought I was getting into a pattern, and even though it was 30 games or so, I need to shack things up and look at the article from a different, while also just enjoying the game of baseball for a change. I personally don’t like suspending a series, or missing an upload for a specific, but things change, and hopefully this change will be good for my writing and for that specific series. As always, the message is “Let’s go Yankees,” and my feelings about this team is as deep as you possibly can get. I really love this team and am excited as a fan to see where this season goes. The writer part of me needs an early All-Star break.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
