The best exchange saved for last. And a perfect metaphor for much of this thread.

“rode the pink wave twice”

You guys are talking about this like it’s a bad thing. I have no idea what it means in your context, but it sounds pretty good with the context that I am attaching to it.

Soto is not just a dude, he’s the best left handed hitter in baseball who’s only 25yo. King is the best pitcher of the group and he’s already 28yo with a poor injury history.

This was the Yankees finally going back to being the Evil Empire and its about damn time. Now go sign Yamamoto!

In typical Cashman fashion…he gave up a bunch of young pitching talent…for a dude on the last yr of his deal…how he still has a job is mind boggling

What I want to know is how empty stats are counted.

I’m guessing: Stats are empty if we lose. Full if we win 😉

What I want to know is how empty stats are counted. Like when Randle scored thirty in the first half and we were only down a few points or even ahead, were those empty stats? Or were only the points in the second half empty? Or are all of the points retroactively decided by the NBA board of directors as being empty because we lost.

Is there an advanced metric for this?

I hear you, DRed, but was there anything that enabled then to shoot that well? Wide open time after time? Because they’ve done it against us twice, so I’m wondering if we’re going under screens or what… I watched most of the game, but was too shell -shocked in the second half to really see it.

The best teams in the NBA make about 41 or 42% of their wide open 3 point attempts. I’m not saying we played good defense, I am saying a team hitting 60% of their 3s is not normal and it’s what made this game a blowout instead of a normal loss (or maybe even a tight win)
