24-year-old me; every thought consumed with seeing that hot red head again. 1am. L train. On the way to sin for a quick grin. Could not imagine having the weight and history of the New York Yankees on my shoulders. Phone battery clinging to 8%. I’m 10 stops away, praying she’s not snoring. Why isn’t she answering anymore? 8am shift about to be hell.

24-year-old Cam Schittler, DEALING.

8 innings. 12 Ks. 0 walks. 0 runs. 4-0 shutout Game 3 victory over the Boston Red Sox to advance to the ALDS.

Cam Schlittler with an epic performance for the @Yankees!

Fastball

after fastball

Un-fuck-wit-able. Lucy moving the football. Cam took Alex Bregman’s nose, pulled a quarter from behind Trevor Story’s ear. Red Sox hitters stepped into the box with 3 GTA stars, sirens blaring, helicopters circling, Cam Schittler shooting to kill.

Medusa stares turned Red Sox hitters to stone.

Cam Schittler’s 15th career Major League start was a declaration. We witnessed a young man transform into a god. On Thursday night, Cam Schittler left Earth, hurling 101 mph fastball from the heavens, smiting the Red Sox, wronging the sins of a Yankees organization run by the GRTA AI.

His performance defied the algorithms, the predictive probabilities. The computer tells you a rookie shouldn’t pitch through 8 innings. Schittler was a one-man revolutionary against humanity’s devotion to technology. Perfidia Beverly Hills of the bullpen.

Legacies are built in the postseason. Us mere mortals are born with expiration dates. We enter an ever-changing world, hoping, one day, perhaps, a crumb of our existence remains. A grain of sand indicating we existed.

With 12ks, Cam broke the Yankees record for most strikeouts in a postseason debut. Cam embedded himself into the DNA of the most-worn cap in the country. Generations will know what Schittler did to help the Yankees advance to the ALDS.

All hail Cam Schillter. A new GOAT has entered the conversation.

While we’re yapping about legacies, can we talk about the Yankees trade deadline acquisitions?

The Trade Deadline matters

From spring to winter, 162 games, on and off planes, lying alone in empty, hollow hotel beds most nights, family miles away. What are we even doing it for? “The cash will heal the cuts eventually.”

Prior to gentrifying The Bronx, Ryan McMahon was coasting for a Colorado Rockies team that finished with the worst record in baseball. Colorado started 4-22 in April. One month into the season, the Rockies 2025 ended. We don’t talk about about Trump’s “Colorado must lose every game” executive order. Supreme Court approved, of course.

Third baseman Ryan McMahon led the team in hitting. An All-Star last season, McMahon was the smartest kind in a classroom where scissors are prohibited. The most well-behaved inmate at Rikers.

9 years into his Major League Baseball career with only 4 total postseason plate appearances, a liferaft saved Ryan McMahon, granting him refugee status on the Yankees.

So grateful to play meaningful baseball, Ryan sacrificed his own life.

Cam Schittler can strike batters out all day long—he intends to—but the Yankees offense must put runs on the board—or it’s all for naught. 29-year old third baseman Amed Rosario—another 9-year vet with only one playoff run under his belt—is here for one sole purpose: jump lefties.

Bottom of the 4th, 1 out, 2 on, Amed Rosario splashed an infield blast past Trevor Story. RBI. First run on the board. Game, blouses.

The Yankees fly to Cananda for a 7-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays. I know the new guys are ready. The question becomes, are the Blue Jays ready to get Schitt on???
