Yeah, good luck.

And it is going to get worse. They will probably get someone like Machado or Harper next season. lol

Ichiro is my hero.

While I was waiting for Easter Supper with my family we watched Justin Smoak SMOKE two home runs, including a Grand Slam to get us a win.

But still, when 6 of your runs come from one guy, says a fair bit about the rest of the team.

I love baseball.

I hate the Angels but damn, Ohtani is the real deal. Also, Mike Trout is the best player in the league.

Yankees, man, what are you boys doing to me?

Injuries are down right dirty and struggling against the Orioles is bringing me closer to bag over head status.

They need a reliable ace. Tanaka is good but injury prone, Severino can be amazing but has been incosistent, Sonny is solid but no ace.
And yeah injuries don't help

Also, kind of related. I am not a fan of this "home run or strike out" style of hitting that is getting popular. Sure, Judge and Stanton are exciting when they hit 600 ft bombs but there are too many 0-4, 4 strike out games (I am only slightly exagerrating). Not sure that is a succesful formula, especially in the playoffs. I hope I am wrong though. Would love to see the Yanks win another WS.

 

[Swift]

Yanks got fucking embarassed.

I don't follow baseball like I used to, but how are the Red Sox doing?

9-2 to start the season and top of the AL East, second-best start in the league with the best start being the New York Mets at 10-1(who I have a soft spot for)...which hurts me as a Blue Jays Fan so the Jays are second in the division with an 8-5 record :
