RHP - Nathan Eovaldi (14-3, 4.20) VS. RHP - Mike Fiers (7-10, 3.69) Lineups to follow...... NOTE: On Tuesday Didi Gregorius became only the third Yankee shortstop to homer on opening day following Bucky Dent (1981) and Derek Jeter (1996,1999 & 2002)
It's supposed to continue raining with thunderstorms through 7PM. Game could be called. And guess what? We are expected to get some snow on Saturday!!!!!!!! Crazeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
The Northeast weather this time of year always is ridiculous. When I used to go to a lot of games and I had the Saturday plan I usually preferred not going to the beginning of the year games. Always cold and not enjoyable. A week or so ago we're getting 80 degree days. Now we won't crack 50 for ten days and they're talking snow.
Today's starting lineup is the same as yesterday's............... CF - Ellsbury LF - Gardner DH - A-Rod 1B - Teixeira C - McCann RF - Beltran 3B - Headley 2B - Castro SS - Gregorius
3M weather update. The rain has stopped & it actually looks like the sun is trying to break through but it is very windy. Stay tuned.
Ya'll don't think they can get in a 7-8pm game??? The Northeast, and North-Midwest to West has been much colder than norm the last few years, especially last year, when numer areas, got more snowpack, more days below Zero, and below Freezing 32 deg's, than any year on record, breaking some old 1910s decade of freezing temps.... IF MLB is going to continue beginning their season on April 1st, and begin extended Playoffs thru October, were begging for a Snow Out World Series, even LCS Series, one year; and I don't care for Domed Stadiums.... Several MLB games & cities over the Years, have been snowed out.... ie, NYY and NYM's, Colorado, Cleveland, Detroit, with the Cubs playing a few games over the years in snow flurries. other Teams would of had "snow outs" in years past, had they not of had Domed Stadiums, ie earlier Twinkies, Brewers, Seattle, .... I'd like to see either: 1- Lose the WC-WC 1 game set- 2- Start the Season on the 2nd Monday of April- 3- Play more double-headers, even with 154 game schedule, and even more if the League remains with a 162 game schedule.(But not 19 Double-headers as was customary for the 60s; that is too many Double-headers, or is it?) Only the players could say for sure....? In 1961 The Yanx first game of the Season was April 11th, with 22 double-headers, (way too many DH's imo), with 3 of those DH's make up games, due to in-climate weather....
Did anyone see constant sweat dripping from McCann's Chin/Neck guard, last inning. You could clock seconds by 'em. Nice hack 'gimme' hit by Tex, take 'em anyway ya' can...
Eovaldi throws way too many pitches, mostly due to a lot of foul balls...a lot to too many hitters... Where is a flat out nasty Out Pitch, with a 2 strike count, ...? Being hit for fouls...?
Can't judge Eovaldi's season and the rest of his career on his first 2016 start but if I were the Yanks, I would be very concerned if he continued having the same problems he's had throughout his career. Time for him to begin figuring it out improving his command and ability put away batters.
Who said Eovaldi seldom gives up HRs? Two outs and two strikes, Stros hit 2 HRs and not by Springer or Correa.
