  1. Great game, nice to see the Yankees hitting like the Yankees. Hopefully this is the start of a momentum shift. Warren has looked outstanding so far, I knew Schlittler would shine, but I may have underestimated Warren. We had a very annoying rough patch, but the season is just starting, there's a lot of reasons to get excited about this team.

  2. 5:07 thanks so much for doing this. This is why we watch you. Including a web gem in the recap from the other side cause we all should appreciate a good play like that. Great win today though for the boys!!

  3. Yankee offensive MOJO Is BAAACK

    Maybr Warren warrants 5th starter in the eventual rotation

    Thx Dan

    LGY! keep that momentum going!

  4. Why is Warren in there still 7th inning up 10? Terrible to have him in there and get that blemish on a great outing.

  5. Whoppi, the Yankees can beat up on lousy teams. They should easily beat the Royals. Sorry if I don't get excited when Yankee hitters feast on mop up time relievers and back of the rotation starters.

  6. Well yesterday jomboy said it would be nice if the yankees got an early lead and kept it for once got what he wanted today lol

  7. Absolutely phenominal day for the A teams!!! Yanks blew out the Royals and Knicks go up 1-0 in the 1st round and the sorry ass Mets lost 10 straight😂😂😂

  8. And THIS is what the Yankees can do when they’re on their game! Cody straight slaying and Rice puts on another show. And let’s not discount Escarra, two triples and a double. Even though one was striped due to the error. But mannnnn I hope we can keep the train trudging along! 🔥🔥🔥
