The Yankees’ Offseason Needs to Be About Stability, Not just one Splashy Move

As the Yankees approach another pivotal offseason, a lot of the ideas being thrown around by fans and media simply don’t make sense. From re-signing Cody Bellinger at any cost to trading Carlos Rodón for salary relief, too many of these proposals ignore the team’s most pressing need: stability in the starting rotation. The Reality of the Bellinger Situation Let’s start with Bellinger. I like…

Rudy: Determination Overcomes Doubt

They said he was too small. They said he couldn’t make it. But Rudy didn’t quit—and in the end, he rose above every doubt.” “Every obstacle, every doubt, every ‘you can’t’—Rudy faced them all and still kept moving forward. That’s how you turn the impossible into victory. The world stacked against him, the odds never in his favor—but Rudy refused to quit. His perseverance became his triumph.

Stats, Age, and Postseason Performance: Evaluating Bellinger vs. Tucker

First and foremost, I see many people trying to paint the picture that Kyle Tucker is a lesser superior defender than Bellinger, and I honestly just don’t buy it. I do think that Tucker has been a bit inconsistent in that department, and Cody is the more versatile defender. However, I will argue here that he is not the best long-term fit, in my humble opinion. I don’t put too much stock into…

Geraldo Perdomo: The Ideal Shortstop for the Yankees

In the movie Patch Adams, Arthur Mendelson shares a thought that deeply resonated with me. He said, “You’re focusing on the problem. If you focus on the problem, you can’t see the solution. Never focus on the problem!” This advice is crucial as we look for ways to improve the Yankees. The more we dwell on what’s wrong with the 2025 Yankees or what they might need, the more complicated the…

Benched for the Wrong Reason: The Truth Behind Jasson Domínguez’s Playing Time

Honestly, I still don’t get the narrative that Jasson Domínguez got benched because of defense. People kept hearing that it was all about his glove — but when you actually look at the numbers, the guy who replaced him, Trent Grisham, wasn’t exactly a defensive wizard either. Domínguez (2025) – His Outs Above Average (OAA) was negative, around –10 in left field according to Baseball Savant.…

2024 vs 2025 Yankees: Were They Really More ‘Well-Rounded’?

There’s been a lot of chatter this offseason about how the 2025 Yankees were a more well-rounded team than the squad that took the field in 2024. But when you dig into the numbers and the competition, that narrative starts to unravel. Offense: The 2025 Yankees scored 849 runs with a .251 batting average. That’s respectable, but hardly a quantum leap over the 2024 team. The lineup was productive,…

My thoughts on Game 1 of the Wild Card Game

First and foremost, although I occasionally write about sports, I have shifted my content to a more film-oriented podcast and will no longer be covering sports as part of my podcast content. I also want to make clear that I am no longer doing a podcast so if you were interested in joining me as a podcast host or anything like that, I am no longer doing it consistently and only wish to do it…

Admitting to Your Shortcomings

What’s your definition of romantic? In the film Pitcher and the Pin-Up, there’s a moment of rare honesty when Melissa apologizes to her childhood friend, Danny Foster, for denying herself the chance to be with him. She admits she ran from love — from something real — and that she was scared to face it. That takes vulnerability. That takes strength. And more than anything, it takes love. To me,…

Constantine Deserves Better: A Dark Superhero Film Ahead of Its Time

The first Constantine movie was reviewed very harshly, but even review outlets like Rotten Tomatoes now are somewhat admitting that they were far too harsh with the movie. They now call Constantine one of the better movie adaptations of a comic book.

"Current Scholarly Perspectives on P52"

Brent Nongbri, an expert in early Christianity, has raised important points regarding the dating of P52 to the late second century or possibly the early third century. He expressed disagreement with Wes Huff’s remarks about P52, as Huff adhered to the traditional dating of the fragment. What, then, is the prevailing consensus regarding P52? Is Wes Huff incorrect to continue referencing the…

Don't Chase The Crowd

Many people will observe their surroundings and often compare themselves to others. We do this for many reasons. Some do it to try to justify to others that they should be somewhere else in their life because they did not achieve a goal at a certain age and somebody they follow did. Then, the person becomes disappointed in themselves and feels like a failure because they continue to think that…
