OT: New York Yankees 2020 season

Besides the defense, it comes down to who you'd rather have in the lineup...Didi or Luke Voit.
With the Yankees it should never be about money.
It shouldn't be about money, but it is. Voit makes barely over 600,000 dollars. If he produces at an average rate, he will have a spot on the team until he's too expensive. That's why Sanchez will catch until he's a free agent. He's cheap. The Yankees are 55 million over the threshold.

Word in Philly is there will be no game here tomorrow. But at Yankee Stadium looks to be happening as of now for Wednesday Thursday.
 
Watching the Detroit game. Ex-Yankes Cameron Maybin and Austin Romine are starters. Both have facial hair now. Maybin is still recognizable. Romine looks like a young Robert Redford Jerimiah Johnson character.
 
It's so nice to see a real stud at the top of the pitching rotation. It's been awhile.

And they let him stretch it out over 100 pitches.
Yep. He's a throwback kind of guy. In retrospect, one of Cash's biggest mistakes was not getting him via trade before he blew up. We might be looking at another title in the trophy case if he had.

You have to give a little credit to Houston's pitching coach as much as that hurts to say. Both Verlander and Cole improved dramacticly after arrival. He is lot better pitcher then he was in Pittsburgh

Yankees’ John Sterling ailing, so Spanish voice Rickie Ricardo has a blast pinch-hitting


Rickie Ricardo, the Spanish voice of the Yankees, knew his Wednesday work day would be unconventional when he arrived at Yankee Stadium at 3:30 p.m. to call a 7:30 p.m. game that would be played in Baltimore. That’s baseball in 2020 for broadcasters, who aren’t allowed to attend road games during these pandemic-raging times.

Ricardo had no idea that he’d soon be living out a dream calling a Yankees game in English when John Sterling called off sick.

Rickie Ricardo did the game on radio, filling in for Sterling ?
Were Fred and Ethel Mertz working the broadcast as well ?

Swapping out the Phillies for the O's is a good deal. Talk about getting a break if those games are never made up,unreal.

Merely pointing out what our buddy K-followed by a Bee, always threw at Mets fans about the schedule over and over again through the years. Shirley,yes you a real Shirley must remember those posts, correct? The Insanity of it all.

What I posted back then about the Mets' schedule was on the money....just resulted in an over-reaction from some snowflake Mets fans.
I have zero problem with your post. It's true. The Yankees got a break with the schedule changes. Good for you. You should try to post true stuff more often.
 
If those games are not made up and the Yankees need wins, it won't be that great of a schedule change. I don't see how they will be able to make it all up without extending the end of the season.

Never in a million years would I have guessed that Suzyn Waldman could actually carry a tune
She has been well known for her singing, what surprised me was her looks. She looks better than
How she looked 20 years ago.
 
Did you see that stat on Voit? In 161 games as a Yankee, his stats are:

673 plate appearances, 102 runs, 160 hits, 37 home runs, 100 RBI's, .902 OPS. His only downside is strikeouts, 187.

What a steal and bargain for this team.
