Glad we won. Not sure why the Yankees are so enamored with Holmes as the closer. Pretty much anyone is better.
OT: 2024 NY Yankees Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
So sick of nearly every Holmes appearance where he hits a guy or walks somebody.
Every fricken time.
Seldom has a clean inning.
They win IN SPITE OF Holmes, not BECAUSE OF him.
He had a great first half of the 2022 season and hasn't been good since.

Good win, keep the positive vibes going. As of now, our starters have been acceptable.
And 2 road series off the board, couldn’t ask for a better start so far.
Why this Yankees home opener in the Bronx is a dream come true for Marcus Stroman
Starting a Yankees’ home opener is something Marcus Stroman imagined well before he signed his free-agent contract, growing up on Long Island.

Another injury....Loaisiga...out for at least a few months.

The Monday game against the Marlins has been moved to 6:05 PM,from 2:05 PM due to the eclipse.
I made mention of this 2 months ago.They finally did the right thing.
Strangely,the Marlins blamed their poor start on shadows in Miami as the roof has been open for their games.

This just in, my daughter's middle school lacrosse game is starting as planned. Should be double fun on Monday!
The Yankees had nothing to do with this. MLB changed all games in the zone and just outside of it.
Pretty disappointing opening day.
As the offense stumbles, people are starting to ask why Stanton is batting fourth.

They'll give him some more time but I'm thinking they're just gonna eat his contract at the end of this year. He's giving us nothing.
I'm not convinced the other umpires like him either.
Not only did the pitcher step off when Gleyber was hitting but it was a f'n ball.
Honestly, he'll hit at some point so if we're still winning games right now, it's better to spread it out across the season.
Maybe this will be the year we'll get some breaks.
Look at what Stanton has done lately. That could be the biggest break of all if he could, somehow, become a true hitter again. Except for his first season with the Yanks he has been a zombie on that team.

5-2 Marlins, bottom 9th, two outs, two men on, Soto at the plate. He walked on 6 pitches, don’t think he took a swing in the at bat. Keeping the game alive for Judge isn’t the worst thing in the world (though Judge ended up flying out), but I recall this approach of his was one of your criticisms when he was with the Padres…sometimes you need aggression out of your big bats in big moments.

Just like Ted Williams. So far so good with Soto. He's had a few clutch hits already.

Checking in with players the Padres got Michael King and Dylan Cease (Drew Thorpe was part of the package for Cease).
King: 2-0, 3.14 ERA
Cease: 1-1, 2.16
Brito after an excellent spring has not been good coming out of the pen so far.
All under team control for at least the next two years.
He'll get some big hits and like I said he'll put up some numbers but I'm still glad that he's no longer a Padre.

Different situation for Soto and the Yanks. Taking a walk in front of Judge is always a good at bat.
King is a good pitcher, but starting pitchers are becoming less and less valuable due to long injuries.
I didn't disagree with Soto not swinging at four balls, taking the walk, and passing the baton to Judge. Unfortunately, Judge is struggling at the beginning of this season.
And Stroman was guilty of one bad inning....with a lead-off walk, a hit-and-run single, an infield single, and then a big home run.
It's one of the problems with being a baseball fan....your team, no matter how good, is gonna lose at least 50 ball games during a given season.
