New York YANKEES spring training thread......... 2 days until season starts: LETS GO YANKEES!

[gunna get it]

again

Yo this Tex guy is kind of good

 

[bkmac]

Teix does it again. This time, a 3-run upperdeck HR.

He's great

 

[mfr3shm]

Teixeira is on his game today. He really does start off slow but if he can start hitting early this year it will be great he is a clutch hitter.

Love the new Yankee stadium and I think there will be plenty of HR's hit in this stadium i like that the warning track is kept average unlike Citi Fieldwhere they have the big walls it looks weird.

When A-Rod comes back in a month....

A-Rod + Tex combo =

 

[bkmac]

10-1 Yankees.

I wish this was an interleague game in July. We are playing GREAT baseball.

 

[dunkaroos]

problems:
centerfield is a wreck, esp that sports bar and its obstructed views. why not just watch the game at home?

too many ads, too much clutter..... where's the box score? hitters count?

we can only see 4 out of town game score at once

not enough blue in the stadium; dark blue is drab

roomier seats? kills the atmosphere

the ball was flying out of the park like mad; something is off.... we're not that good

today= last time the players will be wearing the classic yankee caps..... until next season?



positives:
AJ
jorge
citifield
lol

I am really hoping it was the wind. We are a team built on pitching, and the way the ball flew this weekend, I have a feeling we have a hitterspark on our hands. But how is that possible? It's the same dimensions as the Stadium across the street...

From LoHud: Yankees added Pena to the roster, sent Berroa to the minors and designated Dan Giese for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.

[h2]Yankees make their choice: Pena[/h2] April 4
Following today's game, the Yankees added Ramiro Pena to the 40-man roster and reassigned INF Angel Berroa to minor league camp. In order to make room on the 40-man roster, the Yankees designated RHP Dan Giese for assignment.

Pena will wear No. 19.

Instant analysis: This not a move to get to worked up about as Pena will likely be around only until Alex Rodriguez returns. Then Cody Ransom will return to the utility spot.

But it does speak to the change of direction by the Yankees under Joe Girardi that they would take a 23-year-old who has never been above Double-A ball instead of a 31-year-old with eight seasons of big-league experience.

Pena is a superior glove and has some speed, two qualities Girardi treasures. It will be very interesting to see whether the manager will use Pena for defensive purposes at shortstop late in games.

 

[dunkaroos]

the fans seem more distant from the game
probably a security thing, but it kills the atmosphere


the place is a wreck

 

[bkmac]

Pena got the spot over Berroa, I thought for sure he Pena would start in Triple A.

Kid is nasty with the glove at SS.

 

[im cool c]

the stadium is amazing.

lets just get used to it.

but there's definitely too much commercials & ads.. last night i couldn't find the radar gun anywhere in the stadium.. +%!

That restaurant really is an eye sore.

Other than that the new Stadium looks amazing.

No glove, no love seems to be the new Yankee mantra.

A-Rod was added to the DL retroactive to March 27. But considering how well the Yankees played this weekend (and the latter part of Spring Training) withouthim, I've almost forgotten he was a Yankee.

By the way, the speakers throughout the stadium blew out yesterday.

I knew they were too lound once I sat down and couldn't hear the guy next to me.
