Looks like Cole without his illegal stick Um is like Samson without his hair. He looks like a batting practice pitcher
A walk to Hernandez to Hernandez to open the game. A 2run home run to Devers, followed by hits to Bogaerts, and Martinez a double. Followed by a ground ball out, a pop-up fly, and a strike out. Not how anyone wants to start a game out. Let's hope Cole found his groove with those last three at bats?
With a name like Rizzo you belong in the Bronx. Home run to center by Rizzo. I hope this kid has a great year I always liked him since he was with the Cubs.
Rizzo's making 16 million Freddie Freeman is making 27 million. I would rather have Rizzo any day of the week Stanton leads off doing what he does best- striking out!! Gone-K-alro. Donaldson grounded out to start out the game. LeMahieu grounded out to finish the first inning.
How sweet it is not to have to watch Gary Sanchez behind the plate setting records (for most errors in one inning). I could never find the mercy to forgive Sanchez for that bumblefk game in Oakland when he made four errors in 1IP, with I believe Severino on the mound.
I don't think we're going to see much difference with Lawson as a hitting coach. I don't have much space in his philosophy or his mantra motto: "Hit Strikes Hard", in other words more swinging for the fences. I'd rather see the mantra Motto: "Just hit the fkng ball", or Wee Willie Keelers- "hit him where they ain't". I'd love to see Donnie Baseball return to this team as a Hitting Instructor, but I can't see him being subservient working under BaBoone! Trashman will forever want a Yes Man, which means the return of Girardi will never happen, the return of Showalter will never happen. I wish Hank would sell this team with Jeter in an owner's mix. I doubt cheater would ever keep the illustrious GM around.
