Lots of faith in trash medical staff and brittle players

I found live baseball from Taiwan (CPBL) on YouTube. The announcers are speaking English. It’s not so bad for a desperate man.

Great read..

ESPN on The Mystery of Mattingly's 1987 Topps Birth Date

Why did Topps suddenly report a change in Don Mattingly's birth date on the back of his 1987 card? It's a pretty funny story.

Washington Post believes the system that will be used this season favors the Yanks. (May be behind paywall.)

A sampling:
The Bronx Bombers were projected to win 96 of 162 games (a .593 winning percentage) and easily dominate the AL East with a cushion as large as seven games over the Rays, their closest division rival. It’s possible the Pirates and Marlins join the Blue Jays and perennial bottom-dweller Orioles as sub-.500 clubs that would litter the Yankees’ new schedule, pushing New York’s win rate to 67 percent over a 100-game season in the proposed division. No other team is expected to see more wins per 100 games than the Yankees under this plan.

What is the playoffs in this set up?

the 3 and 2 wild cards??

I have less than no idea. This is the first article I've seen about the 3 divisions. They could do a 1-game playoff between two wildcards and then that winner plays the #1 team and the other two "division" winners play.

Doubt we'll see Aaron Judge on opening day, when/if that is

Yankees still don’t have answers on whether Aaron Judge’s injured rib has healed

The more the Yankees talk about Aaron Judge’s rib/shoulder injury, the murkier the situation seems to get. Tuesday on MLB Network radio, Aaron Boone gave a vague update on the slugger’s…

Apparently CC thought he was an offensive lineman this whole time and can lose weight now that he's retired.

He could have had surgery in march and with the season being delayed till July would have not missed a game.
