not show up in the OP for some reason. At least I have not found a way to do it. That is why I started it, then made a second post with line ups. Did not want to steal your thread and gave you time to repost...when it didn't show up, I figured you had trouble.
part of me likes the virtual fans in the outfield, but part of me is freaked out when they stand motionless during the HRs. You'd think you could make them more interactive have them celebrate or something.

No problem, man. I didn't know that lineup pics don't post in the OP. That is odd. After that happened, I took it as bad juju and just figured someone else would start, so I'm glad you did.
And another GRAND SLAM!!!! This is great!!! Love the GIO!
guys feel the heat and get through it. Have to give him credit shutting the Sawx with Nelson in his 1st game and then Hale, who may have been the last guy in a 25/26 man roster.
that it's a short season, but the Yankees have pretty strict "rules" on how often they use guys. It worked...the Sox didn't really come close to scoring after they snagged 2 in the 3rd against Tanak.
Why should he? Yes he isn't hitting yet but neither is Gary. 1st couple games he was bad at the plate. Last couple he is starting to see the ball.
Urshela was not hitting 1st few games either, now..
Tauchman will likely start playing more as the season proceeds, if there is a season.
was that MLBTV carried the game even though it was on FOX. Usually you have to leave MLBTV and go to your local FOX TV station.
I hope they do this with TBS and ESPN too.

Awesome. All without Chapman so far.
And yet every game thread someone is crying about who the Yanks are or aren’t using out of the pen. Lulz
We lost Kahnle, but Next Man Up. I would say it bodes well that they can just pick a name from the pen, run him out there and that pitcher gets it done. I said last night that I think Boone is trying to build confidence throughout the pen so that he can call on just about anyone. I have to say I did not remember Hale throwing that hard last year.
Something John Smoltz said last night caught my attention - he said he thinks Chad Green could be a very good starter. I was not paying close attention, but he used a pretty strong endorsement for Green - cannot recall the exact words, but it was very strong praise.
Nelson, Green, and Loaisiga in the pen all capable of multiple innings, and even with losing Kahnle, who I do like a lot, we are getting Cessa back, another guy capable of multiple innings, and Chapman back. A pen with Chapman, Britton, Ottavino, Green, Cessa, Loaisiga, Nelson, Holder, and Avilan is still a great bullpen. The biggest difference this season is the amount of guys that can give you multiple innings. The other big takaway besides Nelson yesterday was Montgomery on Friday, if Paxton can get back on track tonight, the team could not be in better shape, with Tachman developing like he is, I also see no need for Gardner, he is blocking players like Tachman, Frazier, and Andujar. Despite saying that and hoping Gardner is not here next season, he is here now and Gardner along with Sanchez are both streaky hitters, and both are getting close to busting out.

Gardy not playing? Maybe. I'm a huge Gardy fan. I can see decline this year in the brief appearances I have seen. Would it be better if Frazier were up and playing, yes. Would it be better if Andujar were playing, maybe.
For better or worse, I think Cashman and Boone are giving Gardy one last shot at the Golden Ring.

MLBtv won't play Yankee games for me, b/c I'm in market.

Maybe I'm taking your point wrong but do you really think Frazier is better than Miggy?

You are taking it wrong. All I was saying is that you could play Frazier and Miggy over Gardy.
But you bring up a legit question. I tend to regard them about equal. Miggy likely the better hitter, but a worse fielder. Frazier is faster with better arm(talking OF play).
Miggy is learning 2 new positions because his IF play is not MLB quality at 3B - passable I guess. I don't know what happened to Frazier in RF last year as he was a fair to avg LF at worst.
I think they are in the same boat, MLB ready with no place to play.
Stanton's our DH for all 60 games or very close to it. He's not going to play the outfield with four very good defensive outfielders in front of him. Frazier and Miggy would be best off as DHs but there's no spot for them either there or in the outfield, except very occasionally.
Miggy at 3B again? Maybe in an emergency.
I just don't see spots for them - they're good hitters but poor fielders and DH is set with Stanton.

So far Miggy hasn't shown to be a liability in LF but he really hasn't been out there much. When he has, he's done ok, but I'm not sure I want him out there in a big spot as of yet.
I've said it before but if Gardy has lost his bat, I can really see a Tauchman/Miggy platoon in LF. Maybe Miggy on the off day for Stanton at DH or if they decide to give Stanton a day in LF as well.
I don't see a spot for Frazier on this team unless an injury but I do think they want Miggy's bat and will find a way to get it in there somehow.
There are certainly worse problems for a team to have than too many good players,
RedSox
Nice to see him go with the outside pitch and hit it the other way
Nice post. Haha
correction to #2 - Godley awful
+1

Bad play to let Pillar score.
Urshela is quite the fielder - deep to the line and a throw across his body to nail Vazquez.
He has great stuff
Yep. Still spring training but they have missed a lot of opportunities tonight(and a few before too.)
the walk to Bradley was brutal in this situation
What's not to like?
It's a 60 game season, strange not using Britton
in the 9th. They got away with it, try for the sweep now.
Why should he? Yes he isn't hitting yet but neither is Gary. 1st couple games he was bad at the plate. Last couple he is starting to see the ball.
