This Yankee team is better than any other Yankee team in the last 10 years, mainly because of the addition of Juan Soto and his approach (not swinging at pitches out of the strike zone and making pitchers throw a lot of pitches), plus the addition of multiple left handed hitters, something the Yankees were missing in recent years with all the right handed power they had in a home stadium that favors left handed power hitters more.

Taking nothing at all away from this great Yankee team for this great start, I think the Houston Astros, last season and this season, are very overrated. The Astros peaked when they won their last World Series over Philadelphia two seasons ago…

Good start but it would appear Judge isn't 100% and his core issue could be a problem for him long term . He definitely was late on several fast balls last night. Verdugo in LF is an adventure, and Rizzo so far doesn't look like he has found his stroke yet. Very early, but I like the look and feel of the team so far.

the fastballs appeared to be belt-high and about 97mph

not all that unlikely for a healthy lad to be late

early in the season.

Surprised, but not surprised about Cabrera. Wasn't getting guys like him back on track at the plate the point of moving away from the analytical hitting coach?

Very surprised about starting the SWB Shuttle already

Still not happy about how they prepared the starting pitchers for the season.

Isn't it nice to be 3-0 and Judge has basically done nothing.

Very nice to be 3-0, but Judge's 2-for-12 makes me wonder if he's still in "core sore" mode, or if "toe maintenance" isn't working. At least they have him in center where he's less likely to slam into any walls, so that's one thing to feel relieved about.

"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."
