Never mind the Netflix!
I have Netflix. But it still pisses me off that that's how we're gonna watch Opening Day.

I sorta have Netflix ... the first inning or so will be via Gameday.

Bravo, MLB, BRAVO!

I have a feeling I'm NOT going to be watching many games this year.

But ... GREETINGS TO ONE AND ALL ... let us celebrate making it to another opening day ... sorry, NIGHT of baseball!

I see we're in for a crowded chat tonight!

I should text Nostra!

No Netflix for me. And I need to cut down on my spending.

I don't think this is going to work out the way MLB is hoping it will ... I'd pay for just mlb.tv, but I'm not ALSO going to pay for ESPN+ or whatever they're calling it.

"What better way to start it off than here on Netflix!"

But, they do have CC.

I’ve got mlb.tv. I had thought it was for all 162 games. I guess not.

Hmph.

[8] Yeah, no more. Bastards.

Hm.
Okay! Well, now let's see some strikes.

Yeesh. Not enjoying this yet.

I accept it though.

Pinch runner?

jk.

Uh oh ... Frank is on base ... running might required

He's at second ... he's in scoring position for a homerun!

"First and second the hard way, with nobody out..."
Or, as some people call it, one out.

Amazing! He WAS in scoring position!

:0

CHUG IT IN, FRANK!

OMG!!!

MOAR, PLZ!

This Webb guy is a stiff, huh?

Dang.
This is really fun now. First inning wasn't fun.

AARON JUDGE IS A BUM!!!!

THE WBC BROKE HIM!!!

Who is the announcer who isn't "Matt" or CC?
Oh you guys aren't watching?
He needs duck tape over his mouth for an inning or two.

It's Hunter Pence.
I could do without him.

Just got my L/P hook up ... but it's an interview inning ... so I immediately hit mute

That's the way I want to see Frank run out grounders

It's insufferable.
Whatever that idiotic thing with the ball on the pirate ship was, it's disgusting.
CC is keeping the broadcast's head above water, but just barely.

BURT KREISCHER IS IN A BOAT!!!

And Aaron Judge is clearly, CLEARLY adrift!
/jk

Who the heck is this Giancarlo guy????

I accept the unearned run!

Happy Opening Day, y'all! My favorite day of the year. Nice start to this one. Go Yankees!

Oof.
Might have to trade for a RFer huh?

So the Yankees could have had Barry Bonds if Steinbrenner wasn't an idiot. And Micah Parsons would be a Cowboy if Jerry Jones wasn't an idiot.

Do the Yankees not have an abs strategy? I didn't understand Caballero's logic there especially since it was a strike.

Do the Yankees not have an abs strategy?

I guess sit-ups are out of fashion ... more time doing planks?

Thank Jebus whatever that thing was is now over.

Gawd.
No more Netflix. Please.

Arraez has intangibles.
So that's good.
And, his bat plays beautifully in this ballpark.
Those things are important. Oh and it will give the first-year manager a chance to hit and run a little!
Deep understanding of baseball.

Annoying broadcast ... good game.
I'll take the tradeoff

YAY!
A ground out!

hey, folks! i wish this were a typical west coast game that began @ 10+ pm. i had to work until about a half hour ago. GO YANKS!!!

damnit, cabby.

just settin' up the DP...

i often watch a good(ly) [hi, RI!] amount of giant and padre games on my mlb app. i always liked camilo doval and was glad we got him last season, even though he's erratic with his command.

The radio guy, after the E6 boot, said "He stinks." lol....

boom. error, wild pitch. keep the shut out in tact!

sweet! on pace to go 162-0!

Well, done lads ... let's finish the season as we started it!

according to hunter, the yanks scored both quick and fast.

solid analysis. good stuff.

[45] HI NOSTRA!!!

4:35 game on Friday? that sucks. i'll miss quite a bit of it, but will watch what i can on my phone...

[53] hey, cult! sorry i couldn't text back before. i was teaching video lessons...

Yay, Kay and Cone.

25 years of Yes. Holy cow! Half my life. I was so excited to move back home in 2004 and have Yankees baseball on tv again after listening to half ass static radio broadcasts in Marlyland for 4 years! Go Yankees!
[56] I miss Cone over the winter! lol...

Judge!

Stanton!

Nice outing from Schlittler.

Hey I like this Challenge abs thing. It's working out nicely.

Wow, Doval looks *very* impressive.

Back to back shutouts.

Of course tomorrow’s game is on Fox, so I expect a disaster

[64] I take great pleasure in muting smoltz.

The Riceman!

Rice converted.

"The verdict is still out on the Giants."

Smoltz barely speaks English.

Guys, if this staff gives up one run per series, I feel pretty good about the season.

Hank, I'm hoping it improves when Rodon and Cole are back.

[70] Oh, for sure. This staff might give up fifteen or twenty runs this season tops.

Where can I get one of those shirts that Jazz has on for BP?

1. That swing from Judge to strikeout on an outside slider in the sixth is something I haven’t seen from him since 2024.
2. Stanton is insane.

I like first inning runs

Schlittler looking good, Judge, not so much

Ugh, Jazz.

This season is playing out just as we expected. Stanton and Goldschmidt raking, Judge struggling, but none of that mattering because the pitching staff refuses to yield any runs.

Yeah this is a good pitching staff. Dang.

Rice is doing a good job carrying the load while Judge is cold, huh?

Phew! But the Yankees have doubled their runs allowed to 6.

GG.
A little disappointed about the hit to the team ERA, but not with the result.

And now a seventh run given up?

Boo, hitting Judge

Hmph.
1. I'd rather not get the run than see Judge HBP on the wrist.
2. Ben Rice watches a called strike that's out of the zone, but then challenges the *next* one. Sheesh. He clearly has a very good eye -- why is he bad at figuring out when to challenge?

Kind of amazing. Can you imagine if the Yankees managed a hit or two with all those RISP?
Five runs, eleven base runners, zero hits with RISP.

Yay, insurance!

Amazing catch, Cody

Team ERA: 1.14

Stanton steals second AND scores on a wild pitch? Maybe give him the rest of the game off?

Give up 15 hits and still win. I will take it.

Seven runs, the team’s ERA is going to take a hit.

Yeah, we Weathered that storm. But I would say there has to be an alternative solution to the (temporary) Fifth Starter Problem.

I've decided to ACCEPT the Rice rbi FC E3.

I feel like Ben might get a crapload of rbi this year.

Seems like we would have a better pinch hitter than Escarra? Jazz came through.

Why is today's game not on MLB.TV?

Oh, it is. NM.
