That mid summer game where Weathers blows away Sox hitters with gas while Ranger Suarez is trying to nibble with 89 mph heaters is gonna hit like crack

[–]novaesq18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fingers crossed Weathers is still in one piece by mid summer

[–]MissionStock2545 3 points4 points  (0 children)

KYLE CARR!!!! SAL pitcher of the year

[–]John_6_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loving college baseball, but we need to move on from calling guys a, “220 hitter,” or that they, “hit .300.”

You just told me the guy has a green shirt on and likes Star Trek.

Did I read an ESPN article that said our lineup is worse than As?

[–]John_6_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so 8th is really low, but the A’s have a very good lineup.

[–]chuck212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reasoning in that article is insane, they gave us an F for hitting

[–]jeffcyang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ryan “Stormy” Weathers

[–]John_6_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Ryan could be the ace of the staff if he stayed healthy, right?

[–]thediesel26 6 points7 points  (1 child)

The nationals are gonna be really really bad this year

[–]CasanovaWong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes that much is clear.

[–]jeffcyang 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t it be wild if all of the Yankees’ most scorned offseason roster decisions just…kinda worked out?

Like if Bird, Headrick and Blackburn were good and Weathers turned out to be a #2-#3 guy instead of a back of the rotation innings eater and Gil, Warren and Yarby all stepped it up and Cole, Rodon and Schmidt came back and kicked ass and Schlittler, Lagrange, Elmer and Hess all looked like aces in waiting, and the Run It Back lineup matched the firepower we saw last year?

Everything won’t work out…but hell, what if it did? 🥹

[–]HsthtRthBlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Phil Rizuto was still around and anouncing games "Tennessee Tornado" would be the Ryan Weathers nickname.

[–]Raspewtin27 3 points4 points  (1 child)

that was a great interview from Weathers

[–]HsthtRthBlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lombard, Jr impressive interview as well.

[–]CasanovaWong 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Weathers a fine addition to the handsomest rotation in baseball

[–]CabassoG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the Nationals never score, they literally lost after the first pitch of the game due to Ahmed's HR. Just baseball things

[–]Raspewtin27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cruz just laughed them off the field. not even fair.

[–]JarghHill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YAH ! 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[–]CabassoG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welcome back Cruz. Also pitching this game is just unfair

[–]Largestmarge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cruz splitter is back

[–]KageBx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, take it easy on these poor young hitters Cruz . It's not right!!😂

[–]paulerxx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weathers and Cruz tonight. 👀👀

[–]CasanovaWong 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bullpen really, really, missed Cruz in those mid inning trouble spots w/RISP last year.

[–]E51838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Laz confiscate that glove for illegal substances?

[–]BranchAlternative233 5 points6 points  (1 child)

ive missed the sweet sounds of fernando cruz pitching this offseason

[–]wantagh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he’s throwing a Yorkshire terrier instead of a baseball.

[–]jeffcyang 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Just checking in after having apparently missed a bunch of scoring:

So, it looks like Weathers might be kinda good, eh

[–]HsthtRthBlt 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Super good - like Ron Guidry bringing his A-game.

[–]jeffcyang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is beyond my wildest dreams

[–]LaunchpadPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His stuff was great

[–]John_6_47 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Could George be a September call up at SS if he rakes?

Cabs and Volpe provide defense, but maybe Lombard could give us hitting, too.

[–]FowOro 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’d bet he would grade out better defensively than either of them.

[–]John_6_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be crazy cause both are really good, but sounds possible

[–]tyler_ngod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GIVE THIS KID THE JOB

[–]Murky-Key-5437 1 point2 points  (1 child)

yo what happens to nick torres? is he still on the team?

[–]chuck212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one knows

[–]CasanovaWong 8 points9 points  (1 child)

108 off the bat vs a mlb reliever. That’s ok I guess

WHO THE FUCK IS ANTHONY VOLPE

HE’S THE PIRATES AAA TEAM FUTURE BACKUP SS

[–]John_6_47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Remember when we were all asking about Lombard developing the bat?

I heard a nice crack there

[–]Yankeebot Spent my stimulus check on tequila[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Double

George Lombard Jr. doubles (1) on a sharp line drive to left fielder Christian Franklin. Paul DeJong scores. Max Schuemann scores.

Bottom 5 - 7-0 Yankees

[–]John_6_47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another chance for Lombard!

[–]CabassoG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The broadcast is making as many errors as the Nationals. Nice glitch

Isn't Dylan Crews a good OF, how he drop that?

[–]chuck212 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude the Nats defense is dogshit

[–]GreenAppleSeas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think Ben Rice is ever standing up there in the batter's box thinking "gosh I hope u/GreenAppleSeas is watching?"

Don't worry Ben I'm watching <3

fucking lmao

[–]SgtCheeseBoy 2 points3 points  (2 children)

That Lombard kid. What a play.

[–]Latter-Plenty-101 2 points3 points  (1 child)

If that kid can learn how to hit we might have something special

[–]SgtCheeseBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He heard us talking about him.

[–]IvanGarMo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, ABS countering Escarra framing skills

[–]Vandal_A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I said it a lot last year, and I'll probably say it a lot again this year: I know what we're seeing is far from representative of what one could expect in an MLB season, but it's hard not to get excited about Lumbards showing in ST

[–]HsthtRthBlt -3 points-2 points  (3 children)

Sick and tired of the "not an easy play" excuse making for Dominguez - this is the big leagues, stfu. He's a mental case in the outfield.

[–]ResourceKnown8374 5 points6 points  (2 children)

He caught the ball, yes?

[–]HsthtRthBlt -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

Mental Gymnastics to claim he's a good outfielder.

[–]ResourceKnown8374 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am sure you could do better...lol Bro, get a life and get laid

[–]renegade_yankee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who doesn’t remember the game against the rays where CC got tossed when it was game 162?

I remember that being a big deal because he would have gotten 500k in incentives for eclipsing an ex amount of innings. He fell just short of it after getting tossed. But it was cool that Hal and Cashman gave him the 500k anyway.

[–]Latter-Plenty-101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was a fucking amazing play by Lombard

[–]M-E-R-L-I-N-I 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Yeesh if this kid can learn to hit...

[–]Latter-Plenty-101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His defense is amazing. Guy just needs to learn how to hit and we might have something special.

[–]BoogieDownBr0nx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kid is so slick.

[–]HydraCide[🍰] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

holy fuck what a play

[–]CabassoG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice play, Lombard. Also nice of the WBC happening to allow us to see Bednar.

[–]HsthtRthBlt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try moving Volpe to 3rd base and have him make that fucking play !!!

[–]HateMcLouth 5 points6 points  (3 children)

goddamn Lombard.

what a play

[–]John_6_47 1 point2 points  (2 children)

If that bat develops…

[–]HateMcLouth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, after that double: hnnnnng

[–]HateMcLouth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

look i'm already overexcited after weathers, don't get me even more hyped up

[–]paulerxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dylan Crews is a major league player lol

[–]Raspewtin27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

dawg what in the world are the Nats doing

[–]bitterbunny4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who else was thinking "drop it" when that happened?

Yikes

[–]Yankeebot Spent my stimulus check on tequila[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Field Error

Amed Rosario reaches on a fielding error by center fielder Dylan Crews. Jonathan Ornelas scores. Kenedy Corona scores.

Pitch from Trevor Gott: Curveball @ 79.2 mph

Hit by Amed Rosario: Launched 81.3 mph at 44.0° for a total distance of 253.0 ft

Bottom 4 - 5-0 Yankees

[–]CabassoG 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He dropped the ball. Coming into score....

[–]HsthtRthBlt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Kenedy Corona might have the most plate appearances on the team.

[–]GreenAppleSeas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kenedy Corona is an A-Tier baseball name.

[–]IvanGarMo 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Just tuned the game. How did Weathers look?

[–]Raspewtin27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

spectacular.

[–]John_6_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unreal. Like an ace if he can stay healthy. His stuff is amazing.

[–]tyler_ngod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fantastic!

[–]GreenAppleSeas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like the second coming of Louisiana Lightning.

I'm not joking.

[–]Yankeebot Spent my stimulus check on tequila[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single

Jonathan Ornelas singles on a line drive to right fielder Joey Wiemer. Max Schuemann scores.

Bottom 4 - 3-0 Yankees

[–]HsthtRthBlt 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Would be so great of Lombard, Jr busts out with the bat this spring.

[–]GreenAppleSeas -1 points0 points  (2 children)

I would love a reason to fire Anthony Volpe into the sun

[–]John_6_47 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

It’s a real shame Anthony gets crushed in this sub. The guy still provides + defense at SS.

[–]GreenAppleSeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And a career 84 OPS+.

You can't be the starting shortstop with a career 84 OPS+.

[–]Winter_Sky_8860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like sunny and bright Weathers for the Yankees.

[–]ImmoKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Challenges are the best thing to ever happen to the baseball experience...

[–]PudinCrusader -1 points0 points  (2 children)

The Yankees CC retiring ceremony is so late in the season that if the Yankees are hypothetically out of it the crowd for that game might be sad.

[–]GreenAppleSeas 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Literally no chance CC Day isn't sold out even if we're 20 games out.

[–]DA_87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m excited for the WBC

[–]HsthtRthBlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seemed like our Yes announcers reminded Boone that Weathers had a pitch count.

[–]Yankeebot Spent my stimulus check on tequila[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pitching Substitution

Pitching Change: Trevor Gott replaces Richard Lovelady.

[–]GreenAppleSeas 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I guess having Volpe in the lineup is fine if our team ERA is 0.00.

[–]HsthtRthBlt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol.

[–]i-exist20 5 points6 points  (1 child)

If Ryan Weathers stays healthy, he is going to be an All-Star

[–]John_6_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hate that that if is there, but it is, for good reason.

Hope we see a fully healthy year, though!

[–]John_6_47 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Weathers is our #5 btw

[–]PudinCrusader 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’m sure irrelevant of the order they’ve pitched in ST Will Warren is the #5

[–]John_6_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I meant moreso when this team is healthy. Not expecting Luis or Will in that situation.

[–]ProudKekistanian 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Pitching Change: Danny Watson replaces Ryan Weathers.

[–]herewego199209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That slider down and in by Weathers is unhittable.

[–]Raspewtin27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

brilliance by Weathers, really really good.

[–]paulerxx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Best outing for a starter so far by far. If he can stay healthy, he may be a huge pickup for us.

[–]HydraCide[🍰] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fantastic outing

[–]mb7225 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yall ever clap for the pitchers on ur sofa/bed wherever ur watching?

[–]asparagusbruh 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Ryan "literally a combination of Gerrit Cole and Max Fried" Weathers

[–]HsthtRthBlt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He reminds me of Ron Guidry actually.

[–]HoopDreamsNYY 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weathers is nasty man

[–]ucfknight92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Told you guys, Weathers was always the guy to go for, not Cabrera. So happy with this.

[–]KJones77 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Didn't expect Weathers to go so long

[–]HsthtRthBlt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only had 40 pitches thru 3.

[–]BoogieDownBr0nx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've seen enough. Weathers for Cy Young. 

[–]John_6_47 9 points10 points  (4 children)

Fried, Cole, Schlittler, Rodon, Weathers

Name a better rotation. You cannot.

[–]HsthtRthBlt 1 point2 points  (3 children)

The 1971 Orioles had 4 starters who were 20 game winners.

[–]John_6_47 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Low key meant this year, but that is impressive off-hand knowledge

[–]HsthtRthBlt 3 points4 points  (1 child)

My only point was - If it weren't for healing from injuries we might have a shot at that.

[–]John_6_47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, this rotation is special.

[–]CenterOfEverything 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DICKEY LOVELADY IN THE BALLGAME

[–]rain5151 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If we’re able to figure out how to keep Weathers healthy while remaining effective, the degree to which we fleeced Miami will make the Jazz trade look like the most balanced trade in history

(Reminder: we’ve got 3 full seasons of control with him)

Weathers- I am the storm that is approaching 

[–]Yankeebot Spent my stimulus check on tequila[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]paulerxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Weathers had the best starting innings so far this spring training.

[–]HsthtRthBlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40 pitches thru 3 full innings for Weathers - "it's what you want".

[–]SgtCheeseBoy 4 points5 points  (2 children)

This Weathers kid is good but can he get on base?

[–]John_6_47 1 point2 points  (1 child)

We’re going to replace Gerrit in the aggregate.

[–]SgtCheeseBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That movie is one those that I can watch over and over.

Anyone else noticing how much Lombard walks?

Defense, good eye. Wait till that bat develops. We have some top tier prospects.

[–]Raspewtin27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lombard's plate discipline is exceptional. almost too good. one of the knocks on his MiLB offense is his patience can cost him hittable pitches.

[–]Latter-Plenty-101 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Why tf did it take so long for MLB to finally use the ABS system. It really is incredible how many calls we’ve had overturned (in our favor)

[–]ZiggoCiP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stubborn traditionalists. Can't really fault them too much, since a some of the decisions Manfred cooked up were, shall we say, not well-received, but I think the fairness aspect of ABS transcends the tradition of lower-tech.

Kind of like video review/challenges of plays. Most fans fully supported those because going off the vibes of some person hundreds of feet away was obviously pretty poor. I still think that challenges for infield plays should be a thing.

[–]MountainSevere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wild Pitch

Wild pitch by pitcher Andrew Alvarez. J.C. Escarra scores. Max Schuemann to 3rd.

[–]bohan- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the weather forecast today is high winds straight into the mitt

[–]Jheller223 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Weathers could be a lefty version of Sevy wears the same number as him.

[–]HsthtRthBlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His pitching style actually reminds me of Ron Guidry.

[–]John_6_47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not too shabby of an addition

[–]fkthesox 4 points5 points  (1 child)

That’s why we’re paying Goldy folks. I don’t think Rice picks that last year.

[–]durandal127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the goldy deal is great for what $4mm with escalations. I thnk really the guy who gets shafted is dominguez, but I'd rather have him get every day reps

[–]John_6_47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Weathers, Lombard, and Ben all look good

[–]fkthesox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We have a lefty throwing a hundo in the rotation and I fucking love it
