Yankees 2024 Season

[SJU61982]

Yankees better keep winning, because Tampa is off to a 4-0 start, and with them playing the Nationals and A's this week, 9-0 is very possible. After that, things only get marginally tougher for them (it's not until late April/early May when they face a difficult stretch of the schedule).

Doesn't sound like much, but with only 13 games against divisional opponents this year, you can't afford to fall too far behind, too early.

Just something to watch for, that's all.

Relax. We are 1/2 game behind and Tampa played two terrible teams.

Relax. We are 1/2 game behind and Tampa played two terrible teams.

We definitely got a scheduling break, by drawing Philly now. They should more dangerous once they get reinforcements back.

It’s a true balanced schedule, way too soon to worry about the Rays record now or what it will be in April.

That works both ways. The teams we are playing now are getting us while 60% of our supposed starting five pitchers are on the IL.

 

[Fizzy]

Yes the Rays have played major scrubs. But their Pitching is looking great even without Glasnow.

However they do play another 158 games so it probably can go either way...

[Delaware]

Yanks thought it was off day vs. a no-named pitching staff. Bats asleep all game. Stanton swinging 3-0 early was a bad gamble.

 

[Delaware]

Donaldson, IKF, Hicks and Higashioka 0 for 13. Fours guys who should not be on this team.

game 5.
boone went back to the 2022 lineup.
produced 3 singles, a dj getty, and 2 walks , and a loss.

 

[SJU85]

Donaldson, IKF, Hicks and Higashioka 0 for 13. Fours guys who should not be on this team.

Nothing wrong with IKF as a utility player and Higgy as your back-up catcher. They can't all be all-stars.

 

[Delaware]

Don't disagree, but Higashioka is a horrible hitter.

 

[Knight]

IKF in for Donaldson, who came up lame.

 

[ronm]

IKF in for Donaldson, who came up lame.

Is there any other sport where the players are more injury prone than baseball?

Nice series win today. Cole off to a good start. Just would like to see him be more efficient. Tons of 3-2 counts. Not a fan, but Torres off to a real good start.

Yanks at Baltimore for home opener postponed until Friday due to weather.

I live about 25 miles from Oriole's Park. The sun is out and not a drop of rain in sight. I hope tomorrow is as good!
