The Yankees defense would be improved ten times over if all the games were played at home, generous scoring. I count two errors already, scorekeeper says none. I wouldn't call the Gallo one an error, but he definitely could have made it.

12 pitch AB from the 9-spot, I like it. I don’t really like JBJ playing at Yankee Stadium, defense/range doesn’t really matter, but I guess it makes sense with a RHP on the mound. Arroyo should be in RF tomorrow

Didn’t realize how much I missed that defense and arm in the outfield last season until now!

The difference in defense between the two teams is probably about 3 runs so far. Xander's play on Stanton was not routine at all. 115 mph and a weird hop.

I still don’t think Kiké is a leadoff hitter.

Pro tip for Umpires: If the catcher pulls the ball up, it wasn’t a strike.

making Severino work. would like to see more balls barreled up, but a lead is a lead. Hoping Pivetta keeps throwing well. Raffy and Verdugo look to be the most dialed in so far in just the first few games.

I’m going to throw in a total cliche here lol, but having a better defense allows our pitchers to pitch to contact and that aggressiveness in the strike zone could help Pivetta and others breakout. It definitely impacted E-Rod last year and can grind on you over a 162 game season

Two ugly Ks and a lazy roller to second. Excellent inning for Pivetta.

Pivetta has half the pitches of Severino through 3.

Hard to believe we got Pivetta (and Seabold) for Workman and Hembree.
Maybe that was Dombrowski saying he was sorry.

Brutal AB for Dalbec. This pitcher can’t throw strikes, and he helps him on multiple pitches. Ugh.

These announcers call out when we get a generous strike and not the MFY, gotta love these national broadcasts

I still don’t think Kiké is a leadoff hitter. But he is a very good CF!
