I just don't want this ride to end...offense is just too real right now. If Bird can come back and be Spring Training Bird...omg

greg bird is not a thing. you have real hitters, you don't need to do this anymore

All the old men in the Yanks lineup the last few years were just black holes.

I went to the Yankees/Sox game last Thursday. It was probably the first almost-full game I've been to in the last two years, at least. (Usually go to 8 - 10 games a year, it's been half-full at best for most games since Jeter left.) That said--

Got a loooong way to go to get the rivalry juices flowing again. Not that many Sox fans there. Despite the packed crowd, not a whole lot of attention being paid around us. Lots of phones and iPads out. Conversations straight through the game. Hardly any chants. Stadium emptied out by the 8th.

Yanks are hot, at least two stars in the making, Sox are hanging in right behind them right now. Shit's lame, and that's coming from a pretty laid back Yankee fan.

The new stadium is a dump. Bunch of suits and fuckbois on party decks. The rivalry is also dead, at least the incarnation of it that had the red sox as the lovable losers. Once the redsox smashed the yankees dicks in in 04 that was that, the mystique was gone.

Bird was great in 2015 and then got hurt. He was great again when he returned to ST. Yankees fans want him to be a thing.

he had like 150 at-bats in 2015, and spring training is completely and totally meaningless. he's never even been a top 100 prospect. judge and gary look great, you don't need to keep up this charade.

I think Law had him in his top 100, and I'm not going to write him off based on 72 plate appearances.

i'm writing him off based on his entire minor and major league career. he's a 1b prospect who has never done anything special that would warrant any excitement for him at that position.

i mean, it's baseball, so anything can happen. there's just no reason to think he's good.

Spring training can win you a spot in a rotation or a spot on the roster. It can give management and ownership more confidence in a player. It's far from meaningless.

Being solid over 150 AB is better than being lousy over 150 AB. Or do you just want to erase everything he did?

You don't need to be a top 100 prospect to be a player that provides solid value. The Yankees have a guy that has been doing that for years and he was never a top 100 prospect.

Do Yankees fans need to get your approval to be excited about a player?

Astros need to get all their starters back and healthy.

Just inject some legal HGH in McHugh and Keuchel so they can come off the DL.

Still insane to think Yankees talked about dealing Judge, Sanchez, Severino, 2 others to Braves for J-Hey, Simmons, Upton, Johnson, D-Carp.

 

[Dominican Power]

Man, shut up. Everyone in the organization was raving about him.

 

[Chris R]

I guess I'll pull for the Yankees to destroy the Astros in the ALCS but I won't feel good about it.

 

[RBH]

New rbh.gifs.

 

[Windu]

Loogy Ian Krol vs. Cespesdes with the bases loaded. this will go well.......

 

[Zetta]

Bird being back soon is going to be so good and damn another by Judge, we should have Baltimore come over more often.

 

[RBH]

Cespedes grand slam incoming

 

[jman2050]
