Torpedo bats!

[D. Bergin]

Yeah, I liked that they scored 20 runs in one game. Didn't like so much they made 5 errors in the same game.

Bats might help a guy here and there, depending on his swing radius, and if they give any sort of an advantage it won't make a bit of difference when every team in baseball is using the same bat technology 1 week from now.

Maybe every team will have a "bat radius" department from here on out, pinpointing which players need to change their weight distribution and who doesn't. Look for the Red Sox to try to steal the Yanks MIT guy right out from under their noses.

Yankees...as usual, are really bad at keeping secrets.

Thanks a lot, Michael Kay!

Bats have been tinkered with and continually refined for the last 150 years. The only time anyone complains is when they didn’t think of something first.

I watched an ESPN clip of the 9 home run game. The most obnoxious thing was the home run calls. High fly ball to left field. Track. Wall. Bye bye. Awful, IMO.

"Track, wall" sounds like Michael Kay, but he would have ended it with "See Ya".

Maybe that was it then, I dunno, it was forgettable. I may have to check out the new radio announcer for a comparison. John Sterling of course was legendary.

Yeah, I miss Sterling. We'll never get to hear his HR calls for the newest Yankees:

"Goldy, you're Golden!"
"Cody rings the Bell!"

It was probably Kay. He's generally awful.

I'm really torn on Yankee broadcasts. I think David Cone is great, but Kay and O'Neill annoy me.

IMO no one will ever top Mel Allen's "going, going, gone."
