Just got finished watching it. Their record to date was an illusion as they beat up on terrible teams. But going out to California and destroying Babe Ruth 2.0 was a statement. Starting pitching has been tremendous, lineup is finally showing what they can do, imagine when JD gets going. And their closer is nails. They just need bullpen help, badly, for the 6th-8th inning that they should be able to acquire at the deadline.

you must not have been watching this team before the went west.

"the yankees are terrible"

they have clobbered everyone, and gotten incredible starting pitching.

No I've watched every game, I picked a good time to invest for the first time in the MLB Network. They had 2 wins against a good Yankee team that is under performing, the rest were against the dregs. I'm not complaining, just pointing out that beating the Angels is lot different than beating the Marlins, Rays or O's.

He's right though.

Pro baseball is the most grueling sport to play, virtually every day from February to October. I remember hearing a relief pitcher say he will be happy when he can retire, saying "I won't have to do this anymore". I had never heard a pro athlete say that before. But when you spend your life in a bullpen watching endless 5 hour games 2,000 miles from your family year after year it can get old.

Oh, those poor, dear millionaires.

If they don't like it, they can quit, and probably land a gig pimping a local car dealership for few hundred bucks an appearance.

I understand, but I think there's been a lot of overreaction to all of this. It's not like this is the norm.

A friend of mine who still cares about baseball said he heard some announcers talking about how this has been a record number of postponements for a month of April, and also a record for most games played under freezing conditions in a month...and we still have nearly two weeks left in April.

The weather in NY does not warm up for another week, and even then it will probably dip back below 40 because it hates me
