TAMPA, Fla. – Yankees batting practice has become a show, and now there’s a way to see more of it.

On Thursday, the club announced that Yankee Stadium Gates 6 and 8 and the Suite Entrance will be open three hours before Friday night home games and for Saturday games beginning at 4:05 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.

That’s designed for fans wishing to see Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gary Sanchez and company swing away in batting practice, providing access to the field level, great hall, certain suite areas – and yes, the bleachers.

I hate this.

These guys are going to try and outdo each other every day. You've got one guy coming off shoulder surgery, and another who missed 2 months with an oblique strain.

Save it for the games, fellas.

Hmmm. Some speculation this could be the lineup against lefties.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Id be surprised to see Bird in the 3 hole vs Lefties

You may have missed the bomb he yanked into the 3rd deck off Andrew Miller last October.

.908 OPS against Left handed starters

.846 OPS against lefties overall.

He was nails all October. I think he'll be ready when the bell rings.

But I am hoping they can try, at least early on, to get him that extra day of rest. He's so much better when he gets it.

I just hope the bells ring earlier than mid July which was when it rung last year lol

Im concerned with everything in the rotation besides Severino basically

Tanaka can be great, he can be 2017

Sonny Gray, never been a fan, he has a lot to prove for me

CC, i expect to be solid for a 39 year old pitcher with a million miles on his arm...But thats still a mid 4's ERA

Montgomery, I like, but still expect some ugly blowups mixed in with a few gems

Agree 100%-could be their achilles' heel. And I worry about Severino as well as the rest of them-enormous jump in innings from '16 to '17, and he was as shaky in October as Tanaka was dominant.

Yeah I almost wishfully chalk up Severino as an ace cause god forbid he blows up

Then we're definitely dealing some prospects.


Off topic-are the Giants gonna trade that pick?

if they dont love a QB, and dont want Barkley, I hope they trade it

I know this Chubb guy is gonna be very good, but I want no part of him as the 2nd overall

You trade a pretty good DE and replace him with a younger possibly very good DE

How much better a team have you become?

When he was awful last year, the drink of choice was gin & Tanaka.....You could chug those for the 4 innings he pitched, pass out and forget he was ever on the mound.....He was throwing BP early last season and then he totally redeems himself like Lloyd Christmas trading for that moped....
