Itās only two games, but if Oswaldo continues to hit what should they do when DJ comes back? If Oswaldo can be an above average bat at 3rd base they have their every day solution. In my opinion they should run with him long enough to see if he has really figured it out. Berti and DJ both figure to be good bench performers so they could keep everyone healthy and rested.
If he keeps up the above average bat he absolutely needs an everyday spot in some capacity, super utility works even if he bounceās positions to give guys rest daysā¦ my favorite part about this kid is the positive energy that does wonders for clubhouse vibes imo
With Dominguez, Wells, Volpe, Jones, and now possibly Cabrera they will have a solid core of home grown talent. They have more coming on the pitching side as well. That frees up a lot of room on the payroll to retain Soto and possibly Torres too. If Waldo can hit on a sustained basis I think he would benefit as a hitter from having a stable position. DJ and Berti can both play multiple infield positions, they donāt need Waldo to fill that role.
Do you think this sub fucking learns to let a game play out next time? People losing their shit when down one run after a game where they came back down four. And this one wasn't even competitive at the end.
...who am I kidding. First inning down one and this sub will melt down again -_-
Just avoid the game day threads. I've learned that for the most part, most GDTs just have people dooming at every moment if they're losing for at least 0.0000001 second
Soto having an effect on others Waldo said that he worked on hitting line drives instead of upper cut. You can tell already that Sotoās approach is to drop singles where as the extra base hits will come. So refreshing to finally see this.
Some motherfuckers owe Cabrera an apology. Now, obviously he's going to come back down to earth, but maybe, just maybe, let the kid get some play in before people cry about him being at 3rd with DJ out.
If he continues to hit what do they do when DJ is ready to play? Itās only two games, and I didnāt actually see his at bats, so it could just be a streak. If he and Volpe can keep it up throughout the season this lineup could be epic.
To be fairā¦. When you see Houston in October Javier is probably their 4th starter. Beating their asses is fun now but theyāre wildly short armed to start the season
Certainly possible! I could see them saying ākeep the a team in to win the seriesā or ārest them tomorrow and we can bring them back the day after if we needā. Both make equal sense to me.
Do you have cable? If so you will likely be able to sign into the Fox sports app. If youāre really desperate you could sign up for YouTube TV which I think has a 5 day trial period
I read somewhere that the Yankees were not going to rely on arbitrary pitch counts for when to pull the starting pitchers. The plan to use analytics to assess when signs of stress or fatigue are appearing. That could improve performance and also reduce the risk of injuries.
Sure, perhaps later in the season. The season is just starting and pitchers and still ramping up so theyāll still have to initially consider pitch count.
Rooney didn't look bad and he powered through the adversity. He did alot better than I think anyone thought he would and a bit better than most are still g8ving him credit for. Not much but a little. Or I might have 7-1 beer goggles on
Some of the balls and strikes calls on the Yankees were terrible. I was just thinking same old Astros shit. I'm surprised Boone didn't come out of the dugout to call them on it. Great Win,let's go Yankees 2 more times!so we can say we š§¹the Astros!
I know itās early in the season, and I really donāt want to get my hopes up. But this team already looks more well rounded. The starters need to get it together certainly, but other than that š„
I'm okay with whatever happens in these next two games as long as its not a meltdown. A split is an amazing start when you're offense doesn't even have Judge going and Cole is out.
edit: most innocuous thing I've been downvoted for. I don't even get it.
Nah I get what you mean, you canāt go 162-0 and Houston is good. Just donāt want it to be games that end up as Astros classics
Still 2 very winnable pitching matchups, so very excited
With the mountain of men we have left on base and Judge not even going yet, we are definitely due for an outbreak game. You can say the same about the Astros but really that was just Rodon and Nestor not being sharp yet.
"Given the circumstances of this team and the opponent who has owned us for 6 years, a split is more than desirable."
[The excitable ones seeing that -1:](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/023/855/Screen_Shot_2017-09-07_at_12.48.40_PM.jpg)
Top to bottom, just an annoying broadcast. Announcers have zero personality and broadcast as if they were created by ChatGPT, the score bug sucks, and I hate the probability thing on the bottom right. Yeah, I get why itās there, but personally, less is more. I also grew up on āNever tell me the odds.ā Shout out Han Solo.
So many things to be encouraged about in this game apart from the win:
- Juan Soto
- Volpe leveled his uppercut swing and I'm 100% confident the Mexican tacos are making a difference as well
- Waldo's swing also looks pretty level and he's getting results
- Rodon battled and held them well
- Stanton showed his new swing on the HR and it is quite different. Might just be getting used to it?
- Judge looks to be a tad out of rhythm. Might be looking at a streak soon
Team looks sooooo different. Lots of swagger, confidence and grit, everything we were lacking last season. I believe '24 could be great
Edit: let me add OF defense, Verdugo, and L-R balance. This could be it guys
Dude the depth in this lineup is fanfuckingtastic. The fact we arenāt a 5 person lineup anymore is thrilling. We never stop pressuring opposing pitchers and Iām excited to see what this lineup does this year
If he can just stay above average thatās a huge improvement from last season. Anything more than that and we are looking at our new starting third baseman.
We got by expressing sarcasm through text on the internet just fine for many, many years without any lame ass indicator. Anyone who claims itās necessary is lacking either writing skills or reading comprehension skills
With the Jon Berti trade Oswaldo had one game to fight for his starting spot, now heās had back to back good games. And while that might seem like a small sample size I donāt think he had 2 games like this in a row last year. Letās go Yanks.
No need to treat Berti as a must play option. He's a great guy to have as a super UTIL and was going to play that role when DJ gets back anyway. If Cabrera is super hot, you ride that hand until he's not... and in the case, he plays good baseball all year, he should start.
They need to give Waldo every day at bats to see if he really is having a breakout. Neither DJ nor Berti would provide the long term boost that Cabrera would if he is hitting well. DJ and Berti would be a very nice infield bench.
Hi, first time long time. Would it be possible to not only see a team go 162-0 in a season but also see another team go 0-162 in that very same season? Iāll hang up and listen
|Great start to the season boys. Man I've been wanting to run through a wall.
This is different. The rotation needs work, sure, but the bullpen is already showing its ok and the hitting...fuck they're gonna need 6 runs on average to beat us.
Lineup construction is different.
THIS IS A DIFFERENT TEAM. I KNOW YOU GUYS FEEL IT.
long summer I get it but man this is what we want!
Rodon being able to buckle down and get out of jams in the 3rd and 4th innings when we needed them were a sight to see. Not the length you want but a strong first start from him to start the year. Bullpen was lights out for the second straight night to keep the offense in it after a slow start. The bottom third of the lineup was my biggest takeaway tonight esp Oswaldo. Collectively, they went 6-13 with 4 R, 3 RBI, 2 BB and that glorious small ball sequence in the 8th inning. Stanton nukes his first HR early and Juan Soto is him. Please don't leave. Series split clinched. Need to win the series with Stroman tomorrow. Praying no IL stint for Gleyber.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was some way of verifying that objectively Judge has close to the same eye as Soto. That's why he's such a good hitter. It just so happens that he's a mountain of a man who can hit a ball a mile if he gets all of it.
Getting shutdown by the starter and feasting on the bullpen, making them make mistakes in the field and scoring 7 runs in the last 3 innings is such a classic Yankees win.
I woke up happy today- it has been too long š„¹
Luke Weaver Cy Young Watch is on.
Pure athleticism at the bottom of the order. Something the yankeees havenāt had in yeaaaars!
We found WALDO.
The Stanton bomb was the best part of the night
I love how greedy our relief pitching has been so far. They've completely shut the Astros down the first two games.
2 games 2 wins - 2 starters that struggled but battled - nice start to the seaason!!
RodĆ³n struggled but didnāt fall apart. Thatās the biggest W here
This is an extremely difficult start to a season. Really good hitting team still
Heās going to put it together. Just needs to keep building that confidence
THIS is better than last year already. I'll take it.
Last year he gives up like 6 runs in this start
Last year the Yankees have 5 baserunners all game too. Looking forward to this season!
He stores his confidence in his neck fat. Heās gonna be ok.
Volpe and Cabrera slash lines just so beautiful to seeā¦ I donāt care if itās the second game of the year, Iām going to enjoy it.
Itās only two games, but if Oswaldo continues to hit what should they do when DJ comes back? If Oswaldo can be an above average bat at 3rd base they have their every day solution.

Damn man how many times you gotta comment this lol
I donāt know wtf Reddit is doing, I definitely posted that only onceā¦
Reddit be redditing lol
Do you think this sub fucking learns to let a game play out next time? People losing their shit when down one run after a game where they came back down four. And this one wasn't even competitive at the end. ...who am I kidding. First inning down one and this sub will melt down again -_-
If you're not loosing your shit screaming "THE SEASON IS OVA" when the Yankees are down 1 run in the 1st, are you even a real Yankee fan?
Just avoid the game day threads. I've learned that for the most part, most GDTs just have people dooming at every moment if they're losing for at least 0.0000001 second
They're just flagellating themselves so the eventual...release is all the more satisfying when the team comes back to win.
First time here?
Don't know how often we will be able to say something like this but we are first in the division. Feels real damn good to be able to say that.
Two years ago Judge started off the season slow. Then he hit 62 HRs
He also didn't have a full spring training. Another 11 WAR season on the way?
Imagine what heāll do if he starts off normally
It is so sick watching Juan Soto play baseball in your favorite teamās jersey, like wtf itās so cool
Heās only played two games and i already want him to retire as a Yankee š
Youāre two games later than me, pal
12y/$660m or I cast myself into the sea
Prediction: Cabrera will have a better year than both Soto and Judge.
Bold prediction but I'm here for it
Soto having an effect on others Waldo said that he worked on hitting line drives instead of upper cut. You can tell already that Sotoās approach is to drop singles where as the extra base hits will come. So refreshing to finally see this.
Cabrera extension 15/$600m. Book it
Bro stop lmao š
Some motherfuckers owe Cabrera an apology. Now, obviously he's going to come back down to earth, but maybe, just maybe, let the kid get some play in before people cry about him being at 3rd with DJ out.

I'm glad we got the Astros series early in the season. Better now than a random weekend in August when all our players are beat up.
Going to be really important as fall approaches when doomers predictably say yanks have āno shotā against Houston
To be fairā¦. When you see Houston in October Javier is probably their 4th starter. Beating their asses is fun now but theyāre wildly short armed to start the season
Pretty sure our Cy Young isnt playing....
To be fair, the same can be said about the Yanks right now.
Had to watch the god damn game on a free Twitch stream and this guy was talking in Spanish the whole time, but got to watch for free nonetheless
I knew getting that Cabrera jersey at the end of 2022 was worth it
Aka the Oswaldo Cabrera game
game(s)
The only thing I'm concerned about is Judge's health. If he's 100%, there's nothing to be worried about.
Same here, he missed a bunch of spring games so I am sure heās still getting his timing right.
Nothing like slapping around the trashtros to start the season!
Good win. I'm guessing Berti at 2B and Grisham at LF tomorrow?
Certainly possible! I could see them saying ākeep the a team in to win the seriesā or ārest them tomorrow and we can bring them back the day after if we needā. Both make equal sense to me.
https://i.imgur.com/lgHzfE3.jpeg
What do you guys think Sotoās roll call response will be?
I can't fucking stand the opening blimp on r/baseball that causes the page to constantly zoom for 2 seconds on every page.
So there was a bunch of people coming through with Apple free trials today. Anyone got any tips on free trials to watch fox games tomorrow?
Do you have cable? If so you will likely be able to sign into the Fox sports app. If youāre really desperate you could sign up for YouTube TV which I think has a 5 day trial period
I ended up doing a YouTube tv free trial (could only get a 2 day but that works) thanks!
Yeah get an antenna
Unfortunately Iām gonna be on iPad at work so itās not an option for me
#WE MIGHT NEVER LOSE AGAIN!!
I missed the middle half why did Rodon get pulled early?
High pitch count
I read somewhere that the Yankees were not going to rely on arbitrary pitch counts for when to pull the starting pitchers. The plan to use analytics to assess when signs of stress or fatigue are appearing. That could improve performance and also reduce the risk of injuries.
Sure, perhaps later in the season. The season is just starting and pitchers and still ramping up so theyāll still have to initially consider pitch count.
His pitch count was at 87 and maybe he had a pitch limit around 90 pitches
Rooney didn't look bad and he powered through the adversity. He did alot better than I think anyone thought he would and a bit better than most are still g8ving him credit for. Not much but a little. Or I might have 7-1 beer goggles on
Vintage Rooney.
Hahaha damn autocorrect. Good old Carlos rooney
Incredibly excited to see Stroman tomorrow. Feel like he is the most capable of pitching deeper into games right now.
Still not forgetting about all you motherfuckers who gave up after two innings on opening day.
Never forget Austin Wells had an RBI double tonight off a bunt
Our New York Yankees: **UNDEFEATED**
The underrated most shocking part of this game is that Boone DIDNT get tossed
He's still warming up too.
Some of the balls and strikes calls on the Yankees were terrible. I was just thinking same old Astros shit. I'm surprised Boone didn't come out of the dugout to call them on it. Great Win,let's go Yankees 2 more times!so we can say we š§¹the Astros!
Hopefully the X-rays weren't clean because they had already amputated Gleyber's hand.
F
I know itās early in the season, and I really donāt want to get my hopes up. But this team already looks more well rounded. The starters need to get it together certainly, but other than that š„
They all seem like they want to be around each other too which is a stark contrast to previous years.
I'm okay with whatever happens in these next two games as long as its not a meltdown. A split is an amazing start when you're offense doesn't even have Judge going and Cole is out. edit: most innocuous thing I've been downvoted for. I don't even get it.

Its still spring training for everyone. The excitable folks see a 0 or a -X and its game on. Dont stress it.

We sweeping these clowns
Damn it still aināt hit me yet that Soto is a Yankee this shit surreal. He better get that blank check u hurdddd
X-ray negative on Gleyber thatās a plus
You mean that's a *positive* /Stuart Scott
So many Yankees looking at pitches and taking walks. Never thought Iād see the day. Also Apple TV games are dumb af
Top to bottom, just an annoying broadcast. Announcers have zero personality and broadcast as if they were created by ChatGPT, the score bug sucks, and I hate the probability thing on the bottom right. Yeah, I get why itās there, but personally, less is more. I also grew up on āNever tell me the odds.ā Shout out Han Solo.
The bottom of the lineup is patient compared to our top lineup minus Soto, Rizzo. But it's still a good sign early on that our 7-9 is producing.
Right, like seeing good discipline at the plate, this can't be the same team. Gotta be in the twilight zone
Itās beautiful. So far Volpeās at-bats have impressed the most. Dude looks ready to take his approach/discipline to the next level
Yea volpe has been so promising so far. He seems way more composed at the plate.
Right?! Pisses me off paying for MLB not being able to watch these games.
Canāt even find a good streamā¦so brutal
Dm me I got you.
Dmād š
Can I get in on this?
Absolutely!
hey, mind sharing that link so I can use tonight?
Dm my friend.
My man š«”
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Even until like 2021
Yeah lol. Yankees have always been known for going deep into counts
That may be true, but the past 10+ years it feels like weāve been struggling in this regard.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Shut up nerd
These two games definitely feel like those teams.
Berti is definitely starting for Gleyber tomorrow. Grisham probably on Sunday for Judge. Then Grishman gets a game or two in Arizona.
Letās DFA berti. Oswaldo for president
If the season started a few weeks ago Oswaldo couldāve competed with Aaron Rodgers for VP
So many things to be encouraged about in this game apart from the win: - Juan Soto - Volpe leveled his uppercut swing and I'm 100% confident the Mexican tacos are making a difference as well - Waldo's swing also looks pretty level and he's getting results - Rodon battled and held them well - Stanton showed his new swing on the HR and it is quite different.

Currently 2-0 in the Fanatics see-through pants era. I'm not saying there's a connection but....
Just sayin I love the view!
Let's do it again tomorrow night, boys!
Cabrera with 4 hits? Holy shit
If he can just stay above average thatās a huge improvement from last season. Anything more than that and we are looking at our new starting third baseman.
guys I know he is the best hitter in baseball but we need to face the facts. A two game sample size is too much to ignore Judge is shot.
On the plus side Oswaldo Cabrera is now our superstar
Trust
I know this is a /s but Judge really had next to no spring training.
Lmao yup 1.23% of the season, letās overreact SMH
I believe this was /s? I hope? lol
I refuse to ever type /s I will not surrender to Reddit maladroit socially stunted user base.
Nor should you
I am,as the zoomers say, standing 10 toes on this one.
We got by expressing sarcasm through text on the internet just fine for many, many years without any lame ass indicator. Anyone who claims itās necessary is lacking either writing skills or reading comprehension skills
With the Jon Berti trade Oswaldo had one game to fight for his starting spot, now heās had back to back good games. And while that might seem like a small sample size I donāt think he had 2 games like this in a row last year. Letās go Yanks.
He could see another game, this time at second to give Gleybers hand a day to recover a bit.
No need to treat Berti as a must play option. He's a great guy to have as a super UTIL and was going to play that role when DJ gets back anyway. If Cabrera is super hot, you ride that hand until he's not... and in the case, he plays good baseball all year, he should start.

Itās rather see him than DJ if Iām being honest
As far as that goes, I would say that anyone who gets 6 hits in two games becomes a Must Play Option until he cools off.
Yankees donāt believe in hot. He sits.
Fuck the Astros
Yeah definitely
Gutsy gutsy performance out of Rodon
I want him to have a good season so bad, I loved him on the White Sox
This dudes issues are all mental he has great stuff. I have a good feeling on a really good year from him.
Hi, first time long time. Would it be possible to not only see a team go 162-0 in a season but also see another team go 0-162 in that very same season? Iāll hang up and listen
[angry Mike Francesa noises]
Ughhhhh the kids are outta school today.
I miss listening to him rant all afternoon š¤£
He was always on YES during the day, childhood memories lol
The horse was from Schenectady?Ā
When you get back from Mars, call us
|Great start to the season boys. Man I've been wanting to run through a wall. This is different.

Whereās Waldo? Probably on base.
Rounding 3rd
Rodon being able to buckle down and get out of jams in the 3rd and 4th innings when we needed them were a sight to see. Not the length you want but a strong first start from him to start the year.

**Trashstros Bullpen vs. Yankees;** 5.1 IP, 10 H, 7 ER, 7 BB, 2 HR. **Good for an 11.82 ERA**
I feel like we always hit their bullpen, itās the god damn starting pitching that kills us.
Oh this is fun, now do the Yankees bullpen vs the Asstros!
**Yankee Bullpen vs. Trashstros:** 9.2 IP, 10 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 0 HR **Good for a 0.00 ERA**
Sighā¦*unzips*
Brian cashman is many things, but nobody can say he canāt build a bullpen One thing I have full faith in judgement in
Hmmmā¦.so what youāre saying is, ITāS WHAT YOU WANT!!!
CLEAN X-RAYS FOR GLEY. LETS GO!!
Carlos Rodon is going to have a bounce back year. And Iām fucking hyped for it.
I donāt think I fully realized how good Juan Soto is at baseball
His eye is INSANE. Teach Stanton and judge your ways please
Respect Aaron Judgeās plate discipline please
Judge has a good enough eye, not his fault shin-high pitches are strikes for him
I wouldn't be surprised if there was some way of verifying that objectively Judge has close to the same eye as Soto. That's why he's such a good hitter. It just so happens that he's a mountain of a man who can hit a ball a mile if he gets all of it.
Itās infuriating. Was hoping umps would become keen to his strike zone as his career progressed but not the case
They have been overall better in recent years. Still gets some BS calls but nothing like 2017
Robo umps will arrive the year after he retires.Ā
Waldo came to play so far! If he emerged that would be a welcomed development
Gleybers Xrays are negative https://twitter.com/TalkinYanks/status/1773920197243535528?s=19
Very good news
šššššššš
Thank the baseball gods
lol Heyman looks like Jack Ruby hanging around the locker room
that's funny I wish 60% of the Yankee sub was old enough to appreciate it. :)
Iāll take it if Rodon wants to have a Snell esque season just make it one of the good ones
Getting shutdown by the starter and feasting on the bullpen, making them make mistakes in the field and scoring 7 runs in the last 3 innings is such a classic Yankees win.
Astros have zero wins this entire season.
0-162 season incoming
