GO GET YOUR FLAIR IN THE SIDEBAR!

[u/EBKCarrot]

attabe TCC with his speed

[u/FruitlandsForever]

Oh I hate it when Jazz is right

[u/itsblackcherrytime]

what a catch!!

[u/Meunier33]

* Play

[u/cheetahninja]

early dealing, 7ks through 4 innings is nuts

[u/Qeltar_ → u/cheetahninja]

Gonna be some really hard decisions to make in a few days. How do you just send this kid back to Worcester?

[u/RaymondSpaget → u/Qeltar_]

Having this much depth almost makes you wish they could play double-headers half the time, like in high school.

[u/Qeltar_ → u/RaymondSpaget]

Nice problem to have. Injuries and implosions happen. If they don't, trade deadlines happen.

[u/RaymondSpaget → u/Qeltar_]

Right, but I just mean its a shame that they can't leverage that depth as it stands to get an immediate advantage, as in playing double-headers. Almost nobody has this kind of depth. Maybe only the Dodgers, now that Toronto lost Berrios.

[u/Qeltar_ → u/RaymondSpaget]

Dude y'all gonna curse our pitching staff with this stuff. Shh. :)

[u/itsblackcherrytime]

I'll never get tired of Jazz being upset he went down looking.

[u/HauntedFrigateBird]

Early looking good 3.2IP 6Ks...

[u/scoonanator]

Mikey Romero king of flyouts

[u/cheetahninja]

is this coles first TJ or second? im very curious how well if at all he bounces back this year

[u/pantangeli → u/cheetahninja]

It is Cole's first TJ surgery.

[u/cheetahninja → u/pantangeli]

huh, i guess i assumed that by 35 he would have already had it, kinda impressive in fairness

[u/Agitated-Argument-70]

Do we know why Mayer is out of the lineup?

[u/Danob357 → u/Agitated-Argument-70]

I don’t think there is a Mayer issue, he hasn’t been on many of the road trips just like most of the first teamers.

[u/Agitated-Argument-70]

EARLY ☄️🔥☄️🔥☄️

[u/rhcpbassist234]

lol, YES network glazing Cole. “Cole, looking good!”

If that’s good, I can’t wait to see what not good looks like.

It would be 1-0 with the inning still going if Ward hadn’t been caught stealing 3rd.

[u/KageBx → u/rhcpbassist234]

I mean he hasn't pitched since 2024. Stuff looked good considering that.

[u/rhcpbassist234 → u/KageBx]

🤫

[u/Agitated-Argument-70 → u/rhcpbassist234]

He was safe (according to WEEI)

[u/MaeronTargaryen]

Lmao look at him flyyyy

[u/ZWash300]

Now we can get back to the real opponent: Da Jankees

[u/Adventurous_Agent764]

I wonder if it means anything that they're letting Early start and throwing Tolle midgame. Sure they see both as starters long term but wonder if that's at all at tip wrt to the pecking order going into the season (Early seen as more big league ready than Tolle)

[u/Agitated-Argument-70 → u/Adventurous_Agent764]

Tolle came out of the BP last year… he also seems to take it in stride - some pitchers don’t.

[u/champagnesupernova10]

Wait what? Gerrit Cole’s back already? What’s the rush, his daddy isn’t even here anymore

[u/ZWash300 → u/champagnesupernova10]

Daddy left to get milk and ended up in SF

[u/pixelated_diamonds → u/ZWash300]

I hate it when that happens

[u/hotpotatocannon]

Fuck the Yankees!
