Fun fact: Cam Schlittler got more write-in votes for NYC Mayor (1) than he did for Rookie of the Year (0).
Our first Yankees Hot Stove show of the offseason is coming up tonight at 6:30 on YES! Cam Schlittler will be joining us in the studio!

there is zero chance the Yankees failed to turn a profit in any year, but especially in 2025 when they were coming off a World Series appearance. If an MLB owner says he lost money, that's like me saying I can fly. You should insist on proof.
(I can't fly, just so no one asks me to demonstrate.)

Heads up @thedigitalbits.bsky.social readers: Some of you may have noticed that BEN-HUR (1959) and ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN (1976) have been listed for #4K Steelbook release on Gruv. I’ve confirmed with the studio that these are due to street in early 2026 (probably Q1). Just FYI!

Aaron Judge homering on this pitch is INSANE!
The PLV result likelihoods of this pitch:
Swinging Strike: 29.0%
Foul: 32.7%
In-Play Out: 13.0%
We aren't talking enough about how crazy this homerun was

Hey, I am old school. I hate every team in the playoffs other than the Yankees.
If the Yankees lose, I still hate your team. Maybe I just tolerate yours winning it all more than others.
