Kevin Brown on the radio broadcast said Voit's wife put him on a diet during the hiatus and he lost 20 pounds.

Obviously didn’t hurt his bat speed.

Hays solid hit and now a walk. I like him a lot.

5 runs on 2 hits.

Nobody takes better advantage of free baserunners than the Yankees.   And we've given them 6 in the first inning so far this series (2 walks, 2 HBP, 2 catcher's interference).

[Il BuonO]

That was there if it was fair.

Hanser almost got another bunt hit.

Who was Hank Steinbrenner (HGS)? George's brother?

George's son and one of the primary owners of the team since George died.

Maybe? I remember him killing us as a Blue Jay. The last Yankees pitcher I distinctly remember us killing was C.C. Sabathia. Probably in his last season of 2019.

He was better with the Jays. I'm thinking with the Yankees.

I don’t mind that bunt attempt by Alberto. He puts it in a spot where it’s sure to be a hit. And he’s good enough to come back and still get a hit.

Kingman didn't play for the Expos and didn't play much 3rd, more first and LF. 

Lets  just get Ruiz to a positive career WAR first, and maybe a .400 SLG, baby steps.

Was he at least a lousy D lousy BA but high-power guy?

I remember him primarily with the Mets, no?

Dang, Ruiz crushed that HR. Nice to see him hitting, looks more comfortable up there.

GO MUSTARD!!!

Absolutely. Surprise them with a bunt bow and then. You want to get on base and 45 feet is as good as 145, if it’s in the right place.

Interesting, the hot dog race is unsponsored.

Yep.
