Soto's plate discipline really the biggest shot in the arm for the Yankee batting. For the past five years 2018-2023, we had so many automatic outs in the batting order. The team deserves to have better hitters. We hope a better finish this time but take it one game at a time. There's 159 games left it's too early to celebrate. The last time we actually saw the Yankees doing greatvat hitting overall was way back in the last championship run in 2009.

Glad they can win when Judge isn't at his best.
