Well well well, it's FINALLY here. Another season kicks off today for every team outside Seattle and Oakland. The Yanks got bit by the injury bug a little in spring training, but it's a long season. Enjoy!

Loved the way the yanks swung the bats today. Against a bad team but you still like to see them being aggressive out there and not relying totally on the long ball.

Exactly. That's one thing that's frustrated me for years, especially under Girardi. Their unwillingness to manufacture runs, play ball.

Too early to get excited but they look good. We’ll see when they play some tough teams.

Exactly. Not bad for an Opening Day, but it's also Baltimore. Too soon to get excited.

Wow, they lose 2 out of 3 to Baltimore? Only saving grace is Boston's 1-3 after starting the season against Seattle.

And now Stanton's on the 10 day DL because of a biceps strain. This season has not started out good in terms of health for the team and hope it's not a precursor to the rest of the season.

Andujar May be out for the year. I’m seeing some of the bad habits carry over into this season. Especially on offense. Judge said what needed to be said but if the team doesn’t react to what him and all the fans have been saying for about a year now then we’ll continue to see lousy at bats and defense.

I cannot believe the amount of guys injured. And they might lose Andujar for the season. Wow, "great" start to the year.

I have not the slightest idea about what they’re going to do

Especially if Andujar is done for the year. Heard they passed on Manny because of the faith/hope they see in Miguel. As a ROY runner up last year, that would be a big blow. Not to mention Didi's still down until later in the year. They'll probably promote Tyler Wade who I heard had a good spring but until I see him do something at the big league level, I'll reserve my expectations.

They’re losing games that they should win. That’s all I can say at this point.

I know. Very frustrating. They've gotta take advantage of Boston's early struggles and they're not.

I pray that they’re turning the corner now

Me too. Doing what they're supposed to do, beating up on teams like Baltimore. Glad Frazier's making an impact at the MLB level and encouraged but Sanchez's bat today. Hopefully he can help right the ship (along with Judge) while they await their teammates return to the lineup.

Yankees announce that Luis Severino was diagnosed with a Grade 2 lateral strain and will be shutdown for 6 weeks. He suffered the injury while rehabbing from rotator cuff inflammation, and it's not shoulder-related. What is going on with all these injures? The Yankees lead the league with 11 men down at this point in the season (and they're only 10 games in!).

Seems like I'm posting in here daily about another Yankee player getting injured. This time it's Gary Sanchez, who's going on the shelf due to a left calf strain. That makes a dozen only 12 games into the season. Unbelievable!

It’s maddening. They’re not beating teams they are capable of beating by a wide margin and they are injured as well. Need to wake up soon. Hope they do.

Let’s see how they perform in this series. A lot of injuries but even when they’re healthy, they need to get out of the rut that they’ve been in with their unenthusiastic offense.

Agreed. Add another to the list. Bird's down now with a left plantar fascia tear. They don't know how long he's gonna be out.

Yanks doing good, Mets getting creamed,

Yanks have a chance to use this past game against the Sox as the formula for offensive success. They hit the ball and didn’t worry about hitting it out of the park(homers still came). Paxton looked great first and foremost.

Mets have a chance this year. We will see if they take advantage

Bird getting hurt is something we can count on every single year. Cashman has more patience with him than he did Jeter and Arod. I’ll never comprehend it.

I'm encouraged by Paxton's outing yesterday and glad they took it to Boston. No better team I'd rather them rebound against (especially against Sale as well). Reports state Beltran actually told Paxton he was tipping his pitches in Houston. Looks like the advice worked yesterday. At this point, and I've been saying it for years, the Yankees need to manufacture runs and play small ball. It's always great to hit a homerun but that shouldn't be your focus every time coming to the plate. Glad Frazier got another homer last night! Kid's batting .293 with 4 homers and 11 RBI's in the early part of the season. I hope they hold on to him. Rumors are the Yankees might make another run at Madison Bumgarner this year at the trade deadline and some are saying the Yankees might have to part with Frazier as part of the deal. I wouldn't want them to do it. Bumgarner's a rental and once Gardner retires, I wanna see Frazier with Hicks, Stanton and Judge.



Very true. Not surprised. Just tired of seeing guys wind up on the DL (I refuse to call it the IL). Disabled list is not insensitive in my book. It's been called that for decades without issue.

Any Cardinal Fans? I was raised in STL, but I don' watch sports. You know how they're doin?

They're 10-8 and 1 1/2 games out of first. However, they did just drop 2 out of 3 to Milwaukee and are 2-5 against them on the young season. Yelich has been killing them in the early going though. Seriously, they should start to pitch around him.

Glad the Yanks got another win against Boston yesterday. Hopefully, this will get them to turn it around. Wasn't happy with Happ's start though. He supposedly had such great numbers against Boston but his last 2 outings (playoffs and last night) haven't shown it.

Cards have series starting tomorrow with the Mets.

Yanks playing now but not looking good.

Nope. They lost 6-1 to KC. German has good strikeout stuff, but the kid gives up too many homeruns.

Going to be tough in the NL East
