Distracted by Hair: The 2017 New York Yankees

Didi is back, Gary is coming back in the next couple weeks. This feels real.

judge will hit a wall soon but i think they'll be in the conversation late this summer for sure

I dreamed I brought my kids to every weekend home game

judge is 6th in the bigs in fWAR

i don't think giant space aliens should be in the majors

that explains why thor keeps getting hurt

Judge is going to be Ryan Howard in 4 seasons.

in the long run, everyone is ryan howard

speaking of ryan howard

is a .482 ISO good? asking for a very large friend

ALL RISE

Are you at the game?

My elderly dad got a chuckle out of this picture and since I showed it to him he keeps asking me how that huge guy for the Yanks is doing.

he's a yankee

baseball truth bomb

@darenw
Aaron Judge's double in the 2nd was hit 119 MPH... 2nd hardest ball hit this year. Just behind his 119.4 MPH HR. He hits baseballs hard.

smh man

yankees score 10 runs like 16 hours after winning an 18-inning game. love this team

k3vin ok

lol

get back to us in July

CC Sabathia is definitely a shadow of the former power pitcher he used to be but the guy has some guile. CC had one inning tonight where he totally came apart at the screws and gave up five runs, but somehow was able to regain control and then looked better than before he lost it. It wasn't enough, but he got through six which considering how gone he looked in the 2nd was kinda a sad impressive feat.

He's at the "...goes out there and competes every fifth day"/"minimizes damage" stage

just trying to give the team a chance to win

CC was a total beast that partial year with the Brewers. Only sporadically saw him pitch in his prime, but his stuff used to be lethal on right handed hitters as he could throw hard, down and in movement.

Jacoby Ellsbury: 28th catchers interference, one shy of tying Pete Rose (29) for all-time record

really questionable send from the third base coach last night

i haven't been watching MLBN lately but this is depressing given that the original appeal of the network way back in the day was that it offered so much more parity than ESPN, which was the yankees/red sox channel for so many years

i'm guessing their nightly show is still more even than BBTN/the ten designated minutes of SC, but still, yikes

also i'd like to take this opportunity to state how much i hate THT's font and its gigantic diagonally-smeared punctuation marks

tanaked out

Chapman to DL

tanaka might be bad

tanaka has given up 10 homers and 22 runs in his last 14 innings pitched

that is bad

First-Place Yankees Aren’t Faring Nearly as Well at the Ticket Office

Those selling points have yet to turn around attendance at Yankee Stadium, where ticket and suite revenues through last season had fallen by a staggering $166 million since the end of 2009, the year the Yankees christened the new ballpark with their last World Series title.

What I hate about going to a game is just how expensive the food and beer is.

luxury hotel w/ a ballfield per Randy Levine

the price of a team without much personality.

Kind of like your post

i stopped going when they stopped allowing stubhub phone/print urself tix. idk if they ever got rid of that and frankly i don't care

Kind of like your post
