Things I didn't have on my bingo card

1) Give up 3 runs per game to Toronto, lose 2 of 3

2) Aaron Hicks would have more Ks than Judge and Stanton combined

3) Bullpen would give up 1 ER in 16.2 innings

At least you didn't get swept by the Orioles and have the worst Fenway start since 1946!

How fast we forget that Stanton was by far the best hitter on the team in the playoffs

He just need to stay healthy. In the one season where he played most of the games, he batted .266 with 38 hrs (2nd most of his career) & 100 RBI ( 3rd most of his career)

If he can play 130+ games, I know the numbers will be there

If he can stay healthy which is a big IF.....the contract is awful and he is streaky hitter which the playoffs illustrate.....this Yankees lineup can't afford another guy that disappears in big stretches like the rest of the team.....this team is hit or miss.....

I definitely figured the bullpen was solid. Not so much on the rest, though.

Dodgers are so loaded they are already resting guys for some reason:

-Rest Betts and Turner on Sat and still win.
-Rest Seager and Bellinger on Sun and still win.

Notice baseball going the NBA route with so many guys getting rest days the first weekend of the year

I cheer for the Laundry always, but hate the makeup of this everyday lineup

Gleyber makes me scratch my head and wonder if anything special is in his future

Hicks is just awful

Judge, Stanton and Sanchez just all look foolish vs top end pitching, although they will have all Star stretches vs shitty pitching
