Maybe he pressed too hard in NY.  They expect all their center fielders to be DiMaggio or Mantle.  No one expected anything here so he just relaxed and knocked the hell out of the ball.  

Yankees are the ultimate corporate drone organization. It's miserable to play for them. I hate them almost as much as I hate China.

I just popped my head in this thread to see if Can_of_Corn has complained about the sweeper yet. 

I only compared it to the cutter.

I don't hate the sweeper.

It was just the pitch du jour.

It worked great last year, but hitters adjust and it isn't a panacea.

Just like the cutter.

They showed Elias in the skybox. He had an orange band on his Apple Watch.  Nice to see a guy all in on the team.  I remember when Lee Mazilli wore a black top over his uniform like he was embarrassed. 

Oh man, remember those "bag over your head" games?

[Yossarian]

That first base umpire was very angry at the pitcher for not stepping in the bag.

Remember the early 80's when the IT pitch was the fork ball?  All the cool kids threw it.  Until some genius decided it hurt arms.  If it did who knows.

I'm from Syracuse and that is huge Yankee country even though Baltimore is closer to NYC.  

I hated Steinbrenner.  He was slime.  Then when I came here I saw the Yankee fans in action.  I share your disdain.

The rest of us thank you for your sacrifice.

He’s got a 5:30 reservation at Phillips

LOL I remember some doing that.   Has to be like 2006-08.

100% agree

Does Mounty wince everytime O'Hearn connects?

[baltfan]

Hays has been quietly pretty great this season.  The fact that he is fourth in AL in batting average is pretty amazing

Ryan O'Hearn revenge game
