there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

So are they going to play at Dunedin all year?  Wasn't there talk of going back to Buffalo once it got hot in Dunedin/out of lake effect snow season in Buffalo?

How many times is the game going to be stopped tonight for meatheads throwing shit on the field?  

Will the benches clear?  

Will the Yankees still suck?  

Will Altuve still be their daddy?  

So many burning questions

Blair Henley getting the opening day start tonight for Asheville.  He's performed better as a prospect than I would have expected given his tenure at Texas.

He had good stuff, shitty coaching. And the defense in his 3 years at Texas was abysmal. 32 unearned runs when he was on the mound.

He definitely has better stuff than I thought he had playing at Texas - i've read his curveball spin is over 3000 RPM for instance, which is about what Framber spins his at and Framber's is one of the best curveballs in the game.  It's odd for a pitcher to go from 7.6 SO/9 in D1 to 12+ SO/9 in the NYPL.  Not a good look for the Texas coaching staff at all.

How about we just bench Straw and try Tucker in Center with Diaz in RF?  Tucker is a pretty good defender and might be okay in CF if they are willing to give him a chance.

Benching straw means he’d still be available tomorrow.

Putting him in line of fire of D batteries from the bleacher creatures could at least force him through concussion protocol/ 10 day IL.

The ESPN coverage is so ducking one sided already...and totally predictable. They mentioned Altuve’s walk off in 2019 (which he was cleared of) but Why do they never mention the damning report the Yankees had suppressed in order to not let their dirty secrets out?? And we learned the entire sign stealing but from Beltran who had just come from NYY. Bunch of fucking Hippocrates...

The Yankees starting pitcher tonight assaulted his girlfriend in front of the rest of his teammates, but sure we are the bad guys.
