Welcome to the 2025 MLB season, everyone, I hope that you survive the experience!
What is the 10-day IL? I thought that was just for concussions
They meant “100-day.” Standard IL trip for a Yankee.
very good
Players wanted them to reduce the length of the IL to let players return sooner, so the 15-Day IL became the 10-Day IL in 2017.
Then the league clawed back five days for pitchers in 2022.
So it’s 10 days for hitters, 15 for pitchers and two-way players.
Gotcha, thanks
I think it was even still called the DL in 2017.
Oh good. Joe Buck.
It’s it to early for whatever threads?
“Reyes is out of options and will have to be removed from the 40-man if he gets nudged off the active roster when LeMahieu is healthy.”
When LeMahieu is healthy! HAHAHAHAHA
It’s so odd, since it seems clear that it would be Peraza who is most in trouble, right?
Good first innings from Rodon still surprise me.
But it’s a good surprise!
When rodon looks good, he looks GOOD
After four batters, an acceptable start to the season.
Huh.
Efficient
I still think his power is more valuable in the middle of the lineup. But i can’t complain about the homer!
When was the last time this happened? Has a Yankee season ever started off with a homer before?
I agree
It still feels kinda temporary, until another obp guy emerges/is acquired
Wells MVP
Austin in the Spring is lovely.
162 games at 4 PA per = Wells on track for 649 HR this year
That gets him HOF, IMO
Phenom may give him a run for his money.
Though I expect Wells to have more PA batting higher in the order.
I’m informed that the Yankees have never before in history led off a catcher
Really? Can’t believe no one’s mentioned it anywhere prominent yet.
It’s from my buddy, dunno where he got it
TPAV
WereFox !
2 players coming in with 649 HR this year makes the team a prohibitive favorite for the WS, amirite ?
That seems right.
I have to revise this down to 648 per, due to a stupid…uh….rounding error.
Ah, now this is the Rodón I’m used to.
Here’s the Rodon we all remember
Fuck. Somebody left the vortex machine on.
I lost my PIN so it wasn’t me. I blame Pedro.
Is this late March or a 90 degree day in July?
Oh wow, the Cubs DFAed Poteet! I hope Cashman gets him back.
One of the reasons Rodon was so good in San Fran and Chicago was that he didn’t give up home runs, but he’s been a home run fairy here. It’s so fucking annoying.
It’s pretty easy not to give up home runs in San Francisco, as long as you’re not facing Barry Bonds.
To not give up home runs at DNYS, you need to induce ground balls, or just give the Yankees RISP.
First team ever to have the same number of hits as home runs?
Good AB, Waldo!
Shit, so Wells WON’T homer in every at-bat?! We’re fucked then.
His projection plummeted by over 300 home runs in a single at bat.
First called strike – okay. Second – not so much.
And then he had to swing at bullshit to protect against the bullshit strike. Very annoying.
Robot umps can’t come fast enough.
(You know there’s a terrible joke in there just waiting for the robot future to let it out.)
Get the robot umps some new batteries?
If Rodon was clean-shaven he’d have been aerodynamic enough to make that play.
That’s just facts.
Rodon has induced a lot of weak contact, except for that HR
Still same number of hit as home runs.
I gotta say, a lot of this is just Peralta pitching himself out of some bad counts. He really has some great stuff.
Peralta is a good pitcher
Yeah, so I’m not too down on how well he’s been handling them.
I have to say that I officially hate Girardi for chatting up the jetstream effect. Judas ain’t in it.
I like this version of rodon
This team is sinking fast
Judge, WTF???
Brutal. Early season Judge strikes again.
MLB now has a story about this being the first time a catcher has led off for the Yankees
Hang on. Are you saying a CATCHER was batting LEADOFF? For the YANKEES, no less?
This is my contention
Inconceivable. I’d say it completely defies expectation, but SURELY it’s happened before.
They were talking about it two days ago.
The story went up on MLB about 20 seconds after the HR was hit.
It was obviously your friend’s source.
That’s the thing, Sic, it NEVER HAS.
INCONCEIVABLE.
Ok thanks for your service, Rodon.
That collapse against Hoskins was classic Rodon headcase shit. Just getting frustrated after he couldn’t put him away.
I am strangely unappalled at an in-game move by Boone.
I find that profoundly disturbing.
Give it time
What choice do I have?
The Yankees getting fucked by soft contact? What a shock!
Who is the shithead who keeps wittering about exit velo
What is this strike zone?!
What were you saying about being able to put someone away?
This loss is gonna hurt
Whew.
Game one.
They were almost hurt by soft contact again!
Do they let Hill start the seventh? Or do they use Cousins? You can’t trust Cruz in a one run game, right?
Isn’t Cousins on the IL? 60 day.
Oh yeah, good call. So shit, i dunno WHO they can trust!
Walking more would be a big deal for the Yankees.
Not the start I was hoping for from the artist once known as the Martian.
I call him the Earthling
because he fell back down to Earth
I never expect them to score with 2 outs. Is that a good thing?
Man, this looks like every game on offense. Two early runs and then nothing.
Ugh, Leiter. Gross.
Wow. This was the Leiter we were promised. If he can go at guys like this, the bullpen suddenly looks a lot sharper.
Man on first, no one out. For the Yankees, the best possible scoring opportunity.
And there it went, runner in “scoring position.”
Jidge!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Gameday’s going to have no in-game video highlights this year?
Just graphics?
They’ve been having all sorts of problems today, so probably just a glitch. All us free MLB users, thanks to T-Mobile, must be overwhelming them on opening day.
Nice RBI 2B by Judge, and a shallow sac fly adds 2-runs.
Lucky bounce for Judge, then lucky sacrifice fly by Belli. I’ll take it!
Good bad throw
What happened?
Chourio made a bad throw home, 10 feet up the line
Hope that foul tip isn’t a problem for Wells.
What happened?
Foul tip off of his shoulder, under the protective covering.
I’m just glad we had 7 shots at RISP
Girardi choking up over Gardner’s son, touching moment
Will anyone break the impenetrable one-hit barrier?
Don’t tell me they’re really going to lose this game.
Great start for the new closer
Great trade by Cashman
Devin Williams has 0% save rate since 10/4/24. That’s almost 6 months.
The Devin Williams experience has not started off well.
Worst loss of the season, incoming.
Bases loaded, no one out.
If only the Yankees were facing the Yankees.
Williams has looked nervous all inning. What the fuck, dude? Why are you nervous?!
Alonso ruined Devin
Can we start a collection to pay Turang to change his first name to Turang?
He’s so fine
Clay Chapman in for the save.
And you all mocked me when I said this was a bad trade
“Why did you stay with Williams?”
“We had no Holmes to go to.”
oh dear
[Smiles, nods]
Clay Chapman Farnsworth the fourth
Reinstate the beard rule NOW !!!!!
Can he grow it back by the next pitch?
Sticking with Williams against yelich is a choice
Two guys wearing gold lame jackets. Gotta be the fake umps from Toronto got theyselves deported from Canada
Wet Landish
Yes!
Damn.
Well, whew.
I told ya the beard rule was outdated and had to go. I said it all the time.
Yay, win! Never in doubt.
162-0, here we come.
Gonna be interesting to see how they manage to wind up with the 3rd wild card.
It’s way too early to worry about Dominguez, right?
Yep.
Chourio just struck out FIVE times. Think Brewers fans are worried about him?
That’s really why guys like Williams are so good. Even when they don’t have it, they still have it.
36 fucking pitches, though. Yikes.
I think the Brewers just know him so well that they were a bigger problem than other teams would be, and he still struck out two of their three best hitters with the tying run in scoring position. I can’t be too mad at him.
Great job by Bauers to steal second, by the way.
There was zero chance he’d take out our new closer. Zero. Nada. 0. So I’m glad he held on.
If judge, belli and wells can average 1 RBI per Game, I think we’ll make the playoffs.
Looking forward to judge and bellinger hitting back to back homers so we can all envision Sterling saying something about Belli-to-belli.
i am going to have to revise my 91 win forecast to 162-0
the yankees win!
I stopped following baseball after the inning where Judge dropped the fly ball. It appears that our new closer is a hybrid of Clay Holmes and Aroldis Chapman.
Wells and Volpe with HR’s.
Never underestimate the power of chicken parm.
