The season is young. Sanchez almost hit a double down the RF line to score 2 or 3 last inning. He just missed it. 

 

Did Comcast deny your area the YES Network for a full year? Comcast is not popular on the Baseball thread.

Yes. Comcast banished the Yes Network last year. I watched the games on Firestick however. I'm glad Yes is back on Comcast. The Yanks did last inning what they do better than any other team..........Load the bases & leave them all sitting there.

Yes, they do but I fear, they won't. Not a good start to the season. Oh & the YES Network is back in my area.

Its only the first game . Usually not an easy task to win an opener in an apposing ballpark

That something you cant do a lot of , tends to let the wind out of your sails. Your Yankees will be fine.

Yeah I know......I'm just one of those passionate fans who think their team should win every game.

We have 3 very capable Catchers , all 3 decent hitters as well. Lol maybe we can work out a trade for a good pitcher lol

 

 

Not a bad idea.

 

Is that the former Cardinals player on the Yanks? Matt Holiday? He looks so young. He has been in the league for many years (12+), it seems.

I think he will fare well long term with the Yankees playing DH he was way to injury prone in the Outfield. Coltsfansince he is one of those when he gets hot can carry your team on his back. Hes 36 if not mistaken NFL

[Jay Kirk]

No hes 37. Yes NFL former Card and started with the Rockies

Thanks for checking. He looks 10 years younger. If he stays healthy, it will be a good signing for the Yankees.

I really think he will as DH .No one hits the ball harder . More of a line drive hitter but hits a lot of home runs because of speed off the bat.

Too many homer picks here. Lol.

 

Good luck on the season!

Well in my defense it is kind of tough to pick against the Cubs considering they just won the WS and are the best team on paper. No way was I not picking them, especially being a Cubs fan on top of it. That would be like a Patriots fan not picking the Pats to Repeat. I do like your picks a lot though because the Indians may be on a mission to win it now after barely losing and the Nats have always been capable of reaching the WS. Picking the Nats is a nice off the wall pick and different and with the way Baseball can be unpredictable they could win the NL.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Yeah Yankees struggling a bit today but it is only 1 of 162.

 Nothing wrong with being a homer. I was just kidding. I am often accused of being too serious.

[coltsfansince65]

Yanks load the bases in the 9th with no outs & get just 1 across. Sanchez 0-5 stranding 5 runners. Holiday 0-4.

Start the season with an L. 7-3

Nah I knew you were joking around because Jay picked the Cards  You are right though most people are going with their favorite teams to win it all. In reality there are probably 5-7 teams that have a nice shot of winning it.

I wouldn't sweat it too much, it's such a long season. It wouldn't shock me if the Cubs laid an egg in St Louis.

Nice start by Archer

Archer looked good after the first inning jitters. He seemed to gain confidence as the game went on. Tanaka on the other hand gave up a career high 7 earned runs.

Lol if I didn't truly think they had a good chance I wouldn't say it , but its way to early to many things can happen . If your teams good you got to go with them.

Thanks for letting us rent Chapman last season. I will miss him. I loved when he when he would come in throwing over 100. He was key part of the WS win.

John Sterling (Yankees radio announcer) just said he expects Tanaka to "pitch a heck of a game" next time out. Yankees will be ok.

I agree 100% and I do think the Cards have a chance. I have them making the Playoffs.

Two teams I expect to make the playoffs every year:  the Cardinals and whichever team is being managed by Bruce Vochy.

Yeah I was surprised they didn't make it last season but your Mets had a lot to do with it. Mets did a great job getting in. They gave the Giants all they could handle too but MadBum in a 1 game situation is very tough.

Well everyone they showed the Ball Park looks to be a great night for the game in St Louis. If you want to watch something interesting Fox sports Midwest opening ceremonies .7.30 pm

We had way to many injuries to key players . It was an accomplishment in what we did do.

Yeah the health factor is always the unknown factor. It can definitely just kill a teams season.
