I would like to see hitter NOT be able to wear elbow pads. How about no batting gloves or no pine tar on bats? Keep hurting the pitcher because hitters don't try to just put the ball in play. HR or nothingby unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
I just wish he could play defense. He is according to Cone a top 3 offensive catcher but what is he defensively? 30th?by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
I bet Panik thought Stanton was running hard out of the box,, instead he was resting his legs so he could go play the outfield...lolby unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
I'll be around too, but in all honesty I think the game is not as exciting now, No strategy involved anymore. Not enough action and MLB is trying to create more action but to me it is the wrong way to do it. I can't really pay top dollar to attend a baseball game, to not see action,by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
I think a lot of older fans are losing interest in baseball in general. I hear them complaining about the new rules and the way players play and disrespect the game today,by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com

Bases loaded 0 out 3 straight hitters trying to hit a homerun. that's how you only score 1 run.by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
QuoteHitman23 You don't like David Cone as a commentator, Kev? I love his input and insight. IMO, he's right up here with Ron Darling and Kieth Hernandez who Mut fans always gloat and praise about. I also like the way he explains stuff, Like Jim Kaat use to..( imho he was the best for tv) He also will, at times, not stick up for a player who messes up. I know it is the Yankees station so heby unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
If David Cone keeps talking he will have a grade 2 strain of the jaw. The guy doesn't come up for air!by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
well then way we are hitting, No sense using the best relievers, going to need then next week!by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
That's is how to win in extra innings..Move the runner to 3rd with no outs. THEN PUT THE BALL IN PLAY!!! .You don't need a 2 run HR to win,by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Ok..why can't the pitchers use a sticky substance to have better control? Hitters have pine tar, elbow pads, ankle pads, evern facemasks! Why are they trying to take away everything for the pitcher, They say baseball needs more action so we will hurt the pitcher instead of having hitters put the ball in play instead of trying to hit HR's all the time then striking out. what ever happened to the hby unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
Yanks hitting the ball hard is a good thing, but Monty not being able to put away hitter after an 0-2 count cost the Yanks 2 runs,by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com

Keeping Gardner on the bench could be good as he can always pitch run for Sanchez late in a game, of go in for defense.by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com

I'm trying to look up the year from the computer as I don't have access to my photos tight now, I checked online but i can't find the game 1-0 with Pettitte the loser.by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
I don't remember the year (I'd have to go through my photos to check) but we all meet up again the same year ichiro was a rookie and he scored the only run in a 1-0 Yankee loss Andy was the losing pitcher. Toga might remember as she bought her grandchildren,by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com

The 1st Lou Gehrig Day was the same day of the 1st Yankee board game at the stadium that was rained out, I remember it, I tried to get a shirt but they closed the shop at the old stadium and I didn't get one. Mrs Hunter was there that day, I also met Toga and the Gman on that day also. I have photos somewhere to prove it.by unclekevin - TheYankeesBoard.com
