Interesting defensive drill by the Yankees right now. With a man on first and no outs, the Yankees are practicing letting pop ups to the right side drop so they can dupe the runners and try to turn a DP. Circumstances must be right. But remember this tweet if it happens this year

Rob Thomson made himself available to reporters on Tuesday, which is rather rare for a manager who just lost his job. Here's why he did: “If you’re an accountable person, if you’re a leader, you’re going to stand up in front of people and answer the questions when it’s all over. And I just wanted to make sure that I did that in the right way. It’s like the last four years, I hope that people feel like, whether I did a good job or a bad job, I represented this organization properly, with class and with dignity. So this is all part of it to me.”

Just to give everyone a wee lil taste of the check swing challenge
