When you’re going good, you’re going good. The Yankees got more great pitching and a home run from their captain in an easy win in the home opener, running their record to 6-1 on this young season. The season is oh-so-long, and the nature of baseball will ensure that the Yankees will have to take their lumps eventually, perhaps even soon. But for now, bask in the pleasure that is good, clean, winning baseball every day, and hope that the run continues tonight, as the Yankees play a rare Saturday night game at the Stadium.
On the site today, John praises Ben Rice’s defense in the early going, and Matt remembers Cameron Maybin’s wonderful 2019 campaign on the occasion of the former outfielder’s birthday. We’ll also get the day’s Rivalry Roundup from Andrew, and Kento performs a dangerous experiment.
