The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

75%

Examples:

  • Friday night's poorly played game was the second day in a row of the team looking flat and lackadaisical.
  • The Yankees have lost 15 of their last 20 games.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Clay Holmes allowed a tying two-run home run to Masataka Yoshida in the ninth inning.
  • New York Yankees suffered their worst loss of the season against the Boston Red Sox.
  • The Yankees have lost 15 of their last 20 games.
  • Tommy Kahnle allowed a two-run home run to Rafaela.

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • Even with Volpe's base-running miscue, he still could have scored if LeMahieu hadn't given himself up immediately between first and second base. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the 'ideal thing' would have been for LeMahieu to get in a rundown, allowing the chance for Volpe to score.
  • The New York Yankees were booed off the field in the ninth inning of Friday night's game after closer Clay Holmes allowed a tying two-run home run to Masataka Yoshida... This was their worst loss of the season to date.
  • The wheels fell off for the Yankees beginning in the ninth when Holmes threw seven straight sinkers to Yoshida... Holmes said he didn't consider throwing a slider, his best swing-and-miss pitch, to Yoshida because the sinker registers a low slugging percentage for opposing hitters.
