Escarra replaces Lestat.

Party Time: Chisholm is back.

Jones in RF and Judge to DH. (Still think Jones should be CF and Grisham in RF)

Volpe is back -- but Boone says injury will not cost Caby the starting job.

Comparing the drop-off in the Yankee lineup after Bellinger is like comparing Moby Dick to Nemo.

Jazz has been full of himself.Despite his 30 hrs last year, he swings and misses too often and strikes out too much. He should be working with a hitting coach. Waiting for the warm weather is not the only answer. His average will improve, but he is a flawed hitter with some power. He is not worth the money he is talking about. And Volpe is not the answer at 2B.

Are we experiencing a May swoon??

What is "left elbow posterior soreness"?

Is anyone else having an "unavailable in your region" problem with Prime? I'm in Brooklyn, VPN is off, so there shouldn't be an issue.

Also, what's up with Fried? Is he hurt (and that's why he's pitching badly)?

Ooof. That could be a soreness in our collective posteriors.

Thanks for the info (gloomy though it be).

Joe Girardi perfectly diagnoses Volpe as a hitter before he sees the first pitch of the season.

Girardi- The key for Anthony is his front hip. he cannot have his front hip vacate too early

ding ding ding ding DING!! BINGO!! we have a winner!!

If Paul O Neil and Joe can so easily explain what Volpe needs to do, Why in 3 years is it impossible for the Yankees and Volpe to get it fixed? VERY STRANGE and more than a tiny bit frustrating

So has FOX and MLBN... Why the Yankees can't? Because it takes doing things that are not how Cashman wants hitting coached. .

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
