@YankeesFiles I think you should start Thursday and if you play a team u only have 3 times at home all year, or play outside, you have Friday off
Eveything else is utter woke nonsense

I understand why it happens but it is funny to me that there are three different Openings Day.
1. You are the Yankees or the Giants
2. You are going to play baseball outside and need Friday as a possible day to play a rescheduled game
3. You can play baseball inside

My hot take is 3pt shooting for most bigs provides very little value on the floor
Point Made Basketball@pointmadebball
Khaman Maluach’s fluidity from 3PT range is what separated him from other big, rim-running prospects in the past, in my opinion His shooting form is quick, compact, and repeatable Pair that with his good FT% and you can easily see him developing into a reliable floor spacer

@YankeesFiles If you really believe in the volpe sample before he the diving attempt vs Tampa it’s definitely him.
That sample size was unfortunately being carried by the torpedo bat week but still something to latch onto

Most likely to put up 4 WAR over 162 healthy Major League games in 2026

@AnndrewBaker We saw them finish with the best record and expected W-L in the al last year

I don’t think the Yankees will win the division. Just too competitive and we’ve seen the same story over and over again with this team

To all the comments asking about Wheeler and Cole: I’d like to see what a 35-year-old pitcher coming back from a major injury looks like before I say he’s a true ace again
If they come back like deGrom, they will be back on the list
English
Seen some talk about who the real true "aces" are in baseball. Here's who I would put in that category
Crochet
Fried
Ragans
Skubal
Woo
Brown
deGrom
Sale
Sanchez
Skenes
Yamamoto
Webb
Not a long list

Can't put my finger on it, but just different vibes with this Knicks team... mostly coming from fans.

@bluelemxnade Thats fair. Look at josh hart this year. very close to 40, but every team still dares him to shoot. He will never take and make enough 3's to justify gaurding

@YankeesFiles also trent grisham is going to get treated worse than aaron hicks was when he slumps. be aware

Send these in before tomorrow afternoon!

We're going to record a season preview this weekend, what should we make sure we discuss?

@YankeesFiles I feel like their rotation is a sneaky issue early on, especially if you think Luis Gil will struggle to get whiffs again

@FlowersSunRain_ The genius is when he is 100% in the right but his acting like a dick head undoes him. That is very relatable

@INTLBaseball24 I think it just cheapens
FIFA knows this and that’s why they don’t let pros play the Olympics

@rationalyankee If opening day was game 1 of the World Series I’m convinced he’d be able to give something. It’s Obviously not so they’re being careful
English
Could Gerrit Cole potentially be able to start a game prior to late May or early June? I think based off today, the answer is probably yes.
But should he? Absolutely not.
It’s not just about being able to start a game. But can Gerrit Cole recover, bounce back, repeat his delivery and keep doing it through every fifth day for months at a time without a setback?
There’s mountains of evidence that starting pitchers need 14-18 months after TJ surgery before they can reliably enter an MLB rotation.
The Yankees and Cole are doing the right thing by sticking to the timeline no matter what.
Max Greenfield@GreenfieldMax18
Gerrit Cole topped out at 98.7 on a sinker, threw a few knuckle curves, a few sliders. Stuff looked crisp, command a bit shaky. Good to see him back.

@YankeesFiles NGL I forgot my first name was in the username and got genuinely geeked

The last time Aaron Boone said this, Gary Sanchez got traded the next day
Chris Kirschner@ChrisKirschner
Aaron Boone said he would be comfortable having Ryan McMahon play shortstop if today was a regular season game, a sign at which way the Yankees are leaning when constructing their bench.
English
@rationalyankee This was a worst missed call than any call last year
It’s usually never this egregious
English
I think Jeff Passan is a very good person to have as the face of reliable baseball media. There aren’t many reporters out there that you can trust 100 percent when news breaks. Jeff Passan is one of them.
If he says something newsworthy, we all take it seriously and with good reason.
But as good as he is at breaking news, I’ve always thought his analysis of the game itself was lacking.
To watch a game as fun as the one played last night and use the lead of your story to embarrass the umpire is the wrong way to go about it.
Umpires miss calls all the time. But this was a unique elimination game being played by some of the biggest stars in the sport. That should have been the story.
Rational Yankees Fan@rationalyankee
I think it’s super soft of Jeff Passan to write an article like this without even acknowledging how hard it is to be an umpire. Mason Miller throws one of the nastiest sliders in MLB. That pitch is a strike for 59.5 feet before it drops below the zone at the last second. Was it a bad call? Yeah. Was it an egregious call? No. It happens every game. It’s unfortunate that it happened to end a team’s WBC hopes, but that’s baseball.

"100% it was a ball." The spectacular USA-Dominican Republic WBC semifinal game was marred by blown calls -- including one that ended the game. I spoke with Geraldo Perdomo, Juan Soto and DR GM Nelson Cruz about it. Here's what they said, free at ESPN: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…

Aaron Judge on the crowd of the WBC vs. the World Series:
"It's bigger and better than the World Series. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it."

Biggest news here is that MLB players are likely going to be able to participate in the 2028 Olympics. If that’s been public for a while, I’ve been out of the loop on it.
I think if the Olympic Committee knew that, they’d likely have allowed more than 6 countries to be represented at LA2028.
That said, the eligibility requirements for the Olympics are likely way stricter than the WBC. You need to be a citizen of the country you are playing for. Team Italy would have a few issues with that.
Still a really great thing for baseball either way.
