Say it with me: 2024 is not 2023. The 2023 Yankees surely would have lost today's game after falling behind 4-0 almost immediately. The 2023 Yankees would have blown the lead, even if they had crawled back when the going got tough, as it did for the Yankees on Opening Day. But these are the 2024 Yankees. These Yankees worked walks, pushed through some early failures with runners in scoring position, came back against the Astros using the whole lineup, and just as it looked as though Clay Holmes would blow it, Juan Soto threw out a runner at home to preserve the victory. 2024 already tastes like a better flavor of Yankees than 2023. Even better when such a good win happens against the Astros! Happy Opening Day, Yankee Fans!!!
