    In defense, this is like a friend falling off a fence he was climbing and others laughing momentarily before realizing the friend may actually be hurt.

    No ball player would laugh at another if they knew he was truly injured. Yankees included

    Yeah, snapshot pictures don't provide much context.

    This of course does not change the fact that the Yankees are easy to hate.

    Heh, took me a minute but you reminded me of something.

    Memorial Ashford Little League, there was a concrete-walled equipment shed where we'd play Spread Eagle with tennis balls. One genius thought it would be fun to throw a little rock at me as I'm against the wall. Everyone laughed until I took a few steps back towards them and blood starts running down my face (it was a good throw, I will admit). I walked a couple of hundred yards to the concession stand where my mom was working and the ladies properly freaked out. It was just a little cut but, man, do head wounds bleed.

    Too many rocks to the head helps explain some things. Lol

    It was a very small rock.

    Yeah look at the pitch you shouldn't be able to knock that out of the park. But Altuve can.

    Why is it nice to see?

    You like seeing holes in the lineup?

    Because this team needs every role player bat it can have to maintain the offensive consistency they’ve shown since Tucker went out.

    Because Dubon has shown regression in part because he’s been playing everyday at multiple positions.

    Because I do like seeing lineups that aren’t either fully formulaic (straight platoon with Joey/Chas) or so robotic in nature that a computer could make it.

    Because there’s too much damn complaining in here as it is and maybe during this extended hot streak (and longest winning streak at MMP since 2004), we still like most aspects of this team?

    That’s all I got…

    That's a pretty stout lineup
