NY Yankees

3 game sweep, staff gave up 1 run

The Judge only has 2 hits, but they are both dingers

Great start to the season

On to Seattle. I like getting a few of the west coast games out of the way early.

First time in franchise history Yanks started with back-to-back shutouts. That actually surprises me a bit.

NETFLIX? smdh

Yeah, that ticked me off, even though I have Netflix.

I hate to nit pick so early in the season but Boone's use of the pen always chaps me. Doval only threw 2 pitches in the 8th inning. Why not bring him back in the 9th instead of using the weakest link in the pen, Blackburn, and why not use Blackburn earlier instead of using good relievers for a few batters in the middle innings? Boone's response after the game when asked was that he didn't want to extend Doval. ???? We had a day off yesterday and have another in 3 days. Stop over thinking. I hate staying up late to see Boone over think and blow a game in the botoem of the 9th. I could have used those couple hours of sleep. lol

And I'll be glad when our bats heat up. Anemic offnese so far.

Fried starting the year in Cy Young form.

Looks like Judge is trying to set the strikeout record.

 

[1992Heel]

I hope Fried stays healthy!

Aaron is definitely back to chasing breaking balls.

After he said he had fixed that part of his swing. lol

Agree. And the media questioned him over it in the postgame.

So, the Belli catch today

both a “holy **** wow” and “lol” at the same time

It was hilarious.

 

[Loyalheel]

Loved the Yankees aggressiveness on the base paths

 

[lakelawyerheel]

It was hilarious.

The kind of moment only baseball can provide

Stanton…STANTON…stole a base tonight. LOL

And a big hit in the 8th that probably won the game. Only his power got that grounder through the infield for 2 RBI.

My preseason concerns about the pen are starting to look valid to me. Against better competition they have not been good. It's early but we'll see how it plays out. It's early. 8th inning and closers can't be loading the bases every outing.

 

[2forheels]

And Rice needs to stop calling for pitch reviews in the early innings. He lets ones that he should clearly ask for a review go by and then calls for a review when its not really close. I really like how fast the outcome is determined. Maybe they should up the challenges form 2 to 5.

 

[Loyalheel]

Wasn’t pretty but a win nonetheless.

Off to a great start.
