I gotta say, it sure is nice to see Juan Soto and Aaron Judge batting back-to-back.
It would be nicer if I had any faith in Nestor Cortes whatsoever, of course, but hey, better than nothing!
Welcome to the regular season, everyone, I hope you survive the experience!
Nice win. Really nice recovery by Cortes.
Holmes please
Those gritty, gutty Yankees.
Sure, winning is great and all and beating the Astros at home is nice, but not really gonna juice the Pythag this way.
I love Kay’s “One of the most underappreciated players in the Majors, 5th in the AL MVP voting last year.” If you’re fifth in the AL MVP voting, how underappreciated are you?
Espada challenging that Trevy was illegally blocking the plate was such a silly challenge. I mean, I get it, no point in NOT challenging it, but still pretty silly.
But that’s exactly it.
In their place, I’d challenge.
But I had no doubt of the outcome.
I’d challenge the tag. I wouldn’t challenge the thing I knew he clearly didn’t do. You could at least argue he missed him with the tag.
I suppose. Amazingly, there was no camera view from the left field line.
Best win of the year so far.
And that’s why you don’t pinch hit for Trevi up a run
Wow. A come from behind win to open the 2024 ‘Season of Gloom’©. Gotta win once in a while. Oh, and it is always nice to beat the Cheatstros. Don
Fantastic first game.
Except for the part that they totally didn’t deserve to win it. At this rate they’ll lead the league in every offensive category except runs and finish just under .500.

Yay win!
Yay Battle Mario!
Story of the day is the plate discipline. Would love for the team to keep seeing 4 P/PA…
What’s the record for double plays in a season and when in August do we expect it to fall?
