Major breakthrough for baseball fans. Starting next week MLB umpires will now use a microphone to announce replay review decisions to the crowd. NFL style. This is a welcome change and will help fans better understand the outcomes.

Andrew Velazquez is 27 years old. Born in the Bronx. He is staying with his parents as he PLAYS SHORTSTOP FOR THE YANKEES and just drove in 4 runs in a 3-game sweep of the Red Sox in front of almost 40,000 each game.

Nobody ever said Brett Gardner is going to the Hall of Fame. But I can’t believe how many Yankee fans here hate a player who plays hard without ego and has repped the NYY so well for so long. Certainly none of them ever go to the ballpark because he gets all cheers there.

Yankees fans usually adore homegrown players. I’m surprised how many dump on Brett Gardner. Not a superstar, coming off worst offensive year. But certainly has value. Best defender on a team that lacks quality defenders. Holes in his game, yes. But a good player and leader.
