Severino vs Happ. Should be fun. Unfortunately I miss the first two days, but here’s to hoping murderers row shows up for Sevy.

 

1. Gardner LF

2. Judge RF

3. Stanton DH

4. Sanchez C

5. Hicks CF

6. Gregorius SS

7. Drury 3B

8. Walker 2B

9. Austin 1B

[MANNYHOF24]

The rivalry is back on!

[bkzwhitestrican]

Stanton.

 

That is all.

[Carpin]

Stanton, Judge and Sanchez as expected

 

Severino in good shape for Opening day

[jacksonianmarch]

Yeah, that’s awesome. Stanton and Sevy are all we need. 1-0

[Carpin]

Severino hitting 100MPH, he's in midseason form, also liked Betances even with the HR, he was in the zone too

[moonslav59]

All I can say is, I wish we had gotten...

 

G. Freakin' Stanton!

[Carpin]

Another down

 

Aaron Hicks to the 10 days DL

 

Billy McKinney up

[Northern Star]

1 game and I'm already sick of the Yankees. f*** Stanton and f*** that stupid helmet he wears.

Randal Grichuk wins the coveted "MLB Player With the Most NHL Player Name" award for the fourth or fifth season in a row.

Game 3, Estrada vs Sabathia. Estrada has owned us in the past. Let’s see how the good guys from the Bronx can do! First game I get to watch!

[jacksonianmarch]

Waste two baserunners and now CC can not locate.

[jacksonianmarch]

And we lose McKinney to injury. Wow

[jacksonianmarch]

Austin with a blast. CC survived 5. Estrada owns us. Now Warren is hurt. Either way, should be a battle of the pens. Sucks that Holder gave up the lead.

[jacksonianmarch]

McKinney with an AC sprain. He’ll be DL’d for sure. Gonna need to call up a hitter

[jacksonianmarch]

Austin goes yaya again!

[jacksonianmarch]

First boneheaded move from Boone. You’ve got Betances whose biggest issue is his own confidence who has a clean inning. You don’t run him out there again hoping he’ll get another inning clean. Part of the gig is to reclaim Dellin. A clean inning and a clear mind would have done a lot for him. Instead, Boone tried a second inning and got burned. Betances does look clearly better than the end of last yr, but you sometimes need to remember which guys are fragile on your club

[Bellhorn04]

Why is Boone making him throw so many pitches in the third freaking game of the season???

[jacksonianmarch]

That was stupid. Really stupid. Betances isn’t mentally tough. He’s also not the smartest guy out there. You take the clean inning and let him build confidence. Instead, he ran him back out there and lost the game, but more importantly, didn’t build anything with Dellin. If we get Dellin right, he’s one of the best relievers in baseball. But Boone didn’t do him any favors today. You guys tortured Cora in game 1, Boone deserves a lot of criticism for today

[jacksonianmarch]

Gray getting needled with grounders into holes. Judge with a hell of a throw

[jacksonianmarch]

4 runs with 2 outs

[Jasonbay44]

Justin Smoak killing the Yankees

[jacksonianmarch]

And Boone walks Donaldson to get to him. What a f***ing dummy

[Bellhorn04]

Tough weekend for the vaunted bullpen.

[jacksonianmarch]

They’ll bounce back. We need our manager to learn how to manage a game and a pen. Betances shouldn’t have gone a second inning yesterday. Today, INTL walking Donaldson to get to Smoak was just dumb

[Northern Star]

Thanks Robertson, don't mind if we do.

[Northern Star]

We need our manager to learn how to manage a game and a pen.

 

When did you become a Red Sox fan?

[jacksonianmarch]

Last 2 games were interesting to say the least. Betances goes out and throws a clean inning in game 3. Instead of being content with that, he runs him back out there to a predictable disaster. Today, he walks the same handed Donaldson to face the lefty swinging Smoak (I know he’s a switch) who is already killing us and it backfires. It was just asinine. You load the bases to face Smoak with a 1 run lead, so KRob cannot afford to walk him and he had to come in with a full count. Just dumb

[Youk Of The Nation]

I will forever treasure Robertson's reaction about 0.5 seconds after Smoak made contact.

[Northern Star]

That was stupid. Really stupid. Betances isn’t mentally tough. He’s also not the smartest guy out there. You take the clean inning and let him build confidence. Instead, he ran him back out there and lost the game, but more importantly, didn’t build anything with Dellin. If we get Dellin right, he’s one of the best relievers in baseball. But Boone didn’t do him any favors today. You guys tortured Cora in game 1, Boone deserves a lot of criticism for today

 

I'd use this as another exhibit in the argument that manager decisions (or non decisions) CAN lose games.
