Some interesting stats

Now that we are at the All-Star break, let's take a look at the Yankees' play in specific situations and some of their split stats.

Overall, the Yankees are batting .280 with 86 home runs and 452 runs scored. The pitching staff has a 4.41 ERA. They are sitting in a tie for second place in the American League East with the Toronto Blue Jays with a record of 42-43.

In the first six innings of a game, the Yankees as a team are batting .290 with 61 home runs. After that, they are only batting .259 with 25 home runs. The team's ERA over the first six innings is 4.32. After the sixth, it's 4.59.

With no one on base, the team is batting .275 with 21 home runs. With runners in scoring position, the team is batting .272 with 20 home runs. With runners in scoring position and two outs, the team is batting .270 with 13 home runs.

With the bases loaded, they are batting .309 with two grand slams.

At home, the Yankees are batting .288 with 45 home runs. They also have a 4.52 ERA. On the road, they are batting .272 with 41 home runs. They also have a 4.29 ERA.

During the day, the team is batting .270 with 32 home runs. They also have a 5.01 ERA. During the night, they are batting .285 with 54 home runs. They also have a 4.06 ERA.

So, let's recap. The team's ideal situation is a game in its first six innings at home at night. There is also no one on base while they are batting.

I found the RISP numbers to be surprising. I didn't expect them to be that high, especially with the team's failure to get the runner in from third with less than two outs.

And just think. Without A-Rod, they'd have only 56 home runs, no grand slams.
