Road to the World Series starts today

Hopefully the Yanks can finally get over the Astros-sized hump.

Let’s go Yanks!!

Managed to WFH today and clear most of the afternoon, let’s play ball
So what's the honest thoughts from all?  
rnargi : 3/30/2023 9:56 am : link
I believe they'll finish second in the AL East, 90-95 wins, win a wild card round, lose in the divisionals. Not nearly enough was done to overcome the obvious deficiencies on offense or the starting pitching.

That said, as always, I'm hoping I am wrong this season.
Donaldson should be hitting 8th until he shows otherwise

Just to throw out  
section125 : 3/30/2023 10:03 am : link
a number - 96-56. Lose in ALCS to Astros as usual.
Like the lineup...  
BC Eagles94 : 3/30/2023 10:06 am : link
Yanks found a way to get all their best bats in the lineup on opening day, with Stanton in RF and Judge in CF. That way Torres can DH with DJLM at 2B. As well as choosing Cabrera in LF over Hicks. Kudos.

Did not notice DJLM at 2B and Torres at DH - I would have flipped that. But WTF do I know?
Really hoping we get a

good DJ this year. Would make a huge difference! Donaldson should be at 8
The Yankees success  
Dnew15 : 3/30/2023 10:14 am : link
is going to hinge on how healthy they can stay. Especially in the starting rotation and bullpen.

That's not off to a great start.

I didn’t watch much spring training, but it seemed Donaldson hit well right? Is it too much to hope he gets off to a hot start and gives Cash the chance to trade him before his inevitable second half fade?
No Hicks in the lineup.  
The_Boss : 3/30/2023 10:22 am : link
Good. Not expecting it, but would be nice if Donaldson gets off to a good start. If not, DFA should be in his future.
He started hitting a few weeks into exhibitions  
Greg from LI : 3/30/2023 10:37 am : link
Lots of ink spilled over his retooled swing. Maybe it works. Time will tell on that. Until he shows he can hit again in games that count, I'd rather he be down the lineup.
I agree Greg  
Jints in Carolina : 3/30/2023 10:38 am : link
He should be hitting 8th
I hope Volpe is leading off before long  
Greg from LI : 3/30/2023 10:39 am : link
But I don't mind them slotting him ninth for now. No need to put any more pressure on the kid than is already there.
Volpe's speed with DJ's contact  
BigBlue2112 : 3/30/2023 10:45 am : link
can make this lineup flip really fun. Go Yanks
haha, putting Donaldson behind Trevino  
Heisenberg : 3/30/2023 10:51 am : link
after Gleyber and even Cabrera, sure. But Trevino? I mean, cmon
Trevino actually outslugged Donaldson last season  
Greg from LI : 3/30/2023 10:53 am : link
.388 to .374, so, yeah
Volpe  
Crazed Dogs : 3/30/2023 10:55 am : link
will bo hitting in one slot before long I believe. I do wonder how short of a rope Donaldson has and good to see Cabera in lineup over Hicks.

According to Joel Sherman, Boone says Cabrera is the starting LF

Joel Sherman
@Joelsherman1
In his pre-game press conference when asked about left field, Boone said Cabrera had “earned” it, but did not clarify if that meant Opening Day or the full-time job. So I asked and Boone told me Cabrera won the job.

1st Volpe makes the team, now Cabrera has won LF? What is happening here?
Stanton  
Dang Man : 3/30/2023 11:07 am : link
Prediction as to how long the Stanton in RF experiment lasts?
It's not an experiment  
Greg from LI : 3/30/2023 11:11 am : link
He's played a lot of RF in his career, and has always hit better as an outfielder than as a DH.

Until Bader returns, this should be the outfield. You're putting Hicks or, God help us, Florial out there otherwise.

All season...Stanton plays better when he gets time in the OF. I think their S&C guys are doing a better job.

Boone had a good insight on Stanton in the OF  
Heisenberg : 3/30/2023 11:25 am : link
He said he likes to do it and that it helps him "stay athletic", which makes sense in a weird way. His workload there just needs to be managed.

No Hicks in the lineup?

Wow. It's strange to see them make some actual good decisions for once.
Is there any deadline for the yanks/mlb to designate IL?  
BH28 : 3/30/2023 11:47 am : link
I'm assuming rodon, montas, severino, bader?

All those moves were done this morning. Effross and Gil to 60 day IL to open up roster spots on 40 man for Volpe and Franchy Cordero. All the rest to regular 10 day/15 day IL's (Bader, Montas, Rodon, Severino, Kahnle, Trivino, and Rortvedt). Although if/when they need another 40 man spot...Montas will be moved to 60 day IL as well. Maybe even Rortvedt too.
I just checked and it appears that Rortvedt  
Semipro Lineman : 3/30/2023 12:06 pm : link
is going to be out of action for a while. So it looks like he will have missed at least a year and a half before he gets back which is a bit surprising. Other than that "brilliant" insight, I look forward to both the season and the BBI commentary
LFG Yankees!

How long is Bader out?  
mfsd : 3/30/2023 12:34 pm : link
Obliques are tricky for hitters. Hope that doesn’t fuck with him all season

I love today’s lineup, but over time they don’t want to play Judge and Stanton in the field every day
4 straight balls for Cole.
