Who will be the Yankees planetary hero today?

If there's a white wedding at YS today, it's being held without Rice.

Judge at DH.

To say the Yankees batting order falls off a cliff in the last two spaces qualifies for "British understatement."

Up to 7-10 now in one-run games. Moving in the right direction.

You gotta feel bad for Eovaldi (who I really liked when he was with the Yankees). 1.60 ERA and a 4-3 record to show for it.

Replying to

given that the defense looks pretty solid as is,

given that Chisholm is likely to return and reclaim 2B,

and given that offense is performing well and might perform even better as the season goes along,

is it possible that the team night be well-served by looking for additional pitching rather than trading for an infielder?

the team needs a 3B who hits well, but the need seems to be less than urgent and a right-handed hitter might be preferable.

Hopefully the Yankee offense is already in Denver.

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

"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."
