SPANISH HARLEM – Happy Independence to all, I won’t take to much of your time today because I know you would rather be eating burgers and hot dogs somewhere before the fireworks begin. Let’s jump into a couple things I want to address.
Flaws Are Showing but Judge is Great
It seems that every season, the Yankees play well enough to seem like a contender, to only have weeks like this. The hitting is bad, and the pitching is worse, but you have your ups and downs during a major league season. Adjustments need to be made on both sides of the ball to get back to winning series.
Aaron Judge is having another awesome year with stats at this point that some players would be thankful to end the season with. At the moment, he is at the top in all 3 major categories for the Triple Crown and Judge definitely has the physical traits to continue on this tear but man… it would be special to see a Triple Crown Season.
Thank You Leon Rose
I guess it is fair to say that Leon Rose is the best President of Basketball Operations the Knicks have had in over 20 years. It thought early on that this wouldn’t work out, as James Dolan is known to make irrational decisions when it comes to Knicks basketball, but we are finally in capable hands. All his moves, from trades to draft picks, have worked out well and in some instances, downright great.
Mikal Bridges, his biggest gamble so far, has made this team a championship contender. You can complain in the draft’s picks sent out in the trade, but you also have to realize that the Knicks wanted this trade over any other they have been in. They realized the time is now and with Jalen Brunson now the Superstar, it was about building around him. Tom Thibodeau needs some credit for getting this team to believe but if not for Leon building the team around what Thibs needs, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
That’s it for now, please come back tomorrow for more content.
