YANKEES, BOMBS AND SPEED BEATS ANY COMBINED NO HITTER!

The Yankees have been working hard and getting into a groove and it's showing.  Last night the 12-2 win was big, and it came down the teamwork and bombs.  It's fun to watch, I gotta tell ya!

The New York Post writes:

"They blasted four more homers in a 12-2 rain-shortened, eight-inning victory over the Royals at Kauffman Stadium to win for the seventh straight game and ninth in their last 10.

And they scored double-digit runs for the fourth time in five games.

Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton got the offense going with a pair of homers in the first and Aaron Judge helped seal the victory with a three-run blast in the seventh.

The home runs gave the Yankees 18 in their last seven games, a stark turnaround for an offense that homered just twice in their seven games prior to this stretch. "

Rizzo has been on fire. Just a monster. Who was it that said "Well, we may not have gotten Freddie Freeman, but home run hitter Anthony Rizzo is no slouch!" Oh yea... it was me. 

Rizzo is doing everything right. Gotta love that.

And let's talk about speed. Is Tim Locastro the fastest man on earth? I mean this guy is the most dedicated, hungry, quick player you can ever want? He plays hard, and guess what... he will be a game changer for this team in 2022! Watch this:

Look... things are happening, and I hope they can continue for the Yankees.  I'd take this every day rather than watching the Mets throw out 8 guys to get a combined no-hitter.

I mean, it's great, good for them... BUT IT'S A COMBINED NO HITTER. What's next, are they going to give little participation trophies to everyone on the team for just showing up too?

The reason why we typically celebrate no-hitters is because it's usually one pitcher, a starter, pitching his heart out, usually with high pitch count, usually exhausted but doing his best to win the game. It's emotional, heroic and powerful to watch because it's ONE GUY!  

A combined no hitter is just feeding the beast continually getting fresh arms on the mound to beat the other team. It's QUITE DIFFERENT.

Everybody calm down. 

Go Yanks!
