Yanks top the hotdogs with relish

Didn't even have to look up from what I was reading when Judge hit his latest moonshot, the sound of it told me everything I needed to know.

When Aaron Judge is up, I look up.

Interesting tidbit about Russ Ford.  Nestor's looking and pitching like another crafty lefty, Whitey Ford.

Honestly a little annoying how often this team is winning and allowing Aaron Boone to dodge criticism. Easy way out.

Lol, Brian Cashman is just sitting in his suite smoking a cigar grinning.

I haven't enjoyed watching this team this much since the early 00s. I remember back then it never mattered what the score was, I just expected them to win.

Hell, I'm even enjoying Gallo (though the Ks still drive me crazy).

Are we giving Cash credit for Nestor? The man once did trade him away to the Mariners for...international bonus pool money.

Like Lefty Grove once said, I'd rather be lucky than good.

Cashman gets credit for hiring Matt Blake, who might be the best pitching coach this team has ever had.

2019 Nestor Cortes was not 2022 Nestor Cortes

Good move to bring him back for nothing, and credit to Matt Blake for his development. Yankees also brought in Sam Briend, director of Pitching Dev, same offseason as Blake

What a total freaking scumbag.

Today was a little disappointing. First loss when scoring 5 or more, finally scored for Monty, awesome comeback in the 9th to tie it

But it wasn't to be. Still, one of the best starts in team history and every game is fun to watch

Tossing Rizzo was some bullshit

I was working and had to pick the kids up so I missed that, what exactly happened with Rizzo?

This tweet below shows what happened.  Rizzo had two low pitches called strikes (the 1st pitch was a total miss).  The next batter faced the same low breaking pitch which was called a ball at which point somebody (most likely Rizzo) yelled from the Yankee dugout and was immediately tossed by the home plate ump - ridiculously short fuse.  Rizzo/Boone immediately went out and confronted the ump:
