Yankees sit red-hot Aaron Judge for finale vs. Reds
The Yankees arose early Sunday morning for an 11:35 a.m. game to finish their road trip, but their lineup did not include the team’s hottest hitter.

Realy bad positioning of the baserunners there.

Apple TV+ on May 26OK, now I'm going to track this.
Last week was Prime and Peacock. So that's 2 weeks in a row......
| GAME 50 (10 innings) | R | H | E |
| BALTIMORE ORIOLES (31-17) | 5 | 7 | O |
| NEW YORK YANKEES (30-20) | 6 | 11 | 0 |

Can't wait for that.
I was all set to kill Cole and DJLM for an expected loss tonight, but Judge and the bullpen wiped that all away.
Still, Cole didn't pitch like an ace tonight. Got behind early with the walks and home runs. This was a game screaming for him to be dominant, coming home after a great road trip, against a division rival playing really well.
What the hell was DJLM doing bunting twice with a runner on 3rd and 1 out? Boone is full of shit that he was OK with him doing that.
Obviously a great comeback win for a team needing to get this homestand off to a good start.

Appropriately, this was on Yahoo.com this morning:
Here’s something interesting I came across the other day. To watch the New York Yankees this week, you’d have to subscribe to four different streaming services:
Sunday: Peacock ($4.99/mo)
Tuesday: YES ($24.99)
Wednesday: Amazon Prime ($14.99)
Thursday: YES
Friday: Apple TV+ ($6.99)
Never mind the sheer confusion of where to watch, that’s $51.96 per month just to see one team play regular-season baseball. It’s not a hefty total bill if they’re the only streaming services you’ve got, but chances are you subscribe to Netflix ($15.49), maybe a basic cable package (around $70), Hulu ($7.99) or a premium channel like Max ($9.99).
That’s a bunch of passwords, a lot of searching TV Guide (ha!) and ton of toggling on the remote. In other words, it’s really annoying.
All this for services that don’t work as well as basic cable.
In some ways, sports on TV is peaking. You can now watch virtually any game you want, be it the NFL or cornhole. But it’s certainly come at a cost, and not just dollar bills. Buffering still happens, or games just freeze altogether. That happened just the other night for YouTubeTV subscribers trying to watch Celtics-Heat. Moving from one channel to the next — or from one game to another — isn’t as seamless as it used to be. And I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve gotten a text about something that hasn’t happened yet on my stream.
Presumably, the functionality of streaming will only get better. So some of these issues will resolve ... eventually.
What’s only going to get more complicated (and by extension, costly) is the toggling between services. With everyone betting on streaming, these companies have to find the lure to bring subscribers on board. “The Office” re-runs might not be enough to get you to subscribe to Peacock, but maybe an NFL wild card game will.
That’s happening this upcoming season, a first of its kind. NBC Universal is paying $110 million for one Saturday-night playoff game — a wild card game, at that — to air exclusively on Peacock. The viewer rating for the game will be a fraction of what it could draw on NBC, but the suits are banking on you signing up and hopefully sticking around (or forgetting to cancel) to pay that $4.99 month.
This is just the beginning.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that ESPN is “laying the groundwork” for a direct-to-consumer streaming service, an effort to offset the losses the network continues to experience as it hemorrhages cable TV subscribers. If you don’t have a cable package, that’ll be another $40/month or so if you want to watch, say, Monday Night Football. Would ESPN broadcast a game exclusively to its streaming subscribers?
When the world of streaming was first born, a lot of us grabbed those scissors and cut those cords with glee. No more paying a boatload for a bunch of channels that you don’t ever watch! Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Now, though? I don’t miss having to own a cable box, but I’m starting to miss cable.

I’m in Florida, so I spent about $150 for MLB Extra-innings package and I get virtually every MLB game.
I know, but I get every game played in MLB.

Ok let’s rehash this
Peacock and Apple are MLB deals. Yankees had no say in those. Yankees i think we’re on Peacock once all of last year.
Amazon is a Yankees deal. Complaining there is fine. But last check 150M people in the US were Prime members. My parents who are 71 and 75 have Prime.
As for YES I don’t know the deal there. I live in NY market and still old school paying for standard TV and I have YES. I know they have an app for out of market folks but then I know as Knight said Extra Innings for 100 bucks and change works out to less than a dollar a game.
Trust me I HATE when games are on the apps. Because it’s not as easy to flip between YES SNY ESPN with the click of a remote. It’s exiting the app going back to TV etc. But it’s not as financially dire as pointed out.

I miss the days when I could shut off the tv sound, when I didn’t like the broadcaster, and listen to the radio play-by-play while watching the game. Now days, they are not in sinq and you can’t do that.
