Ha, my MLB team subscription auto-renewed on me so I do have it this season. Could have watched the Homerfest game yesterday. 
So flipping on the game today and it's 44 degrees and sort of almost foggy, not like yesterday 78 degree and sunny windy. Still, Judge did homer in the first. Other comment is that Yanks have Joe Girardi in the booth. He's a pretty good addition and knows both leagues.

@stormchaser2014 You doing alright? It's been HR Derby for the Yankees versus your squad this series.
ABC national news is airing a "Yankee bats, are they legal!" story, next on their evening news. Good grief, they are nowhere near the barrel size limits and hecka smaller than bats used by some of the famous old time players. Guess it makes a good story but the bats were submitted and approved by MLB, it's ain't some surprise sprung on folks. In-depth story is the bats where specifically designed for each player, there is no single "new" model. And Judge, with his four homers, is not using the bat.
Edit: LOL, the story as aired was like 10 seconds long and just said "Yes, they are legal".

@stormchaser2014 It appears the Brewers pitching issues wasn't just because they were facing the Yankees & "torpedo" bats.

Aside from the abysmal pitching, there's no presence in the clubhouse anymore like Adames. I really think that's part of the issue.
Might have to tune in the Yanks tonight since they are giving rookie Will Warren a start. They have 9 pitchers on the IL and had scheduled ancient journeyman Carlos Carrasco to start. Not much interested in watchin a recycled 38 yer old with an an ERA of over 6.00 three of the last four years take the mound.
Good news for Twins and Brewers is the "real season" starts now with weekday games. Saw a short snippet from Yankee bloggers and they said the opening series on a weekend is festive and all but you never know what will happen that first couple of games. They opined that the real season starts with a weekday night game, like tonight. If they even get the game in, forecast is dicey.
Good news is the Twins aren't at home tonight, going to rain and maybe snow here. Bad news is they are away but at Chicago and the weather forecast there also sucks for baseball tonight. They might beat the rain but the temps around 40 with wind gusts 25-30 mph. Woof!
You yanks and your new bats can go straight to hell. My little league boys think they all need to switch to wood and get those bats. I told them it wouldn't make any difference if you were swinging a 2x12, they had no idea what I was talking about. lol
As a lifelong White Sox fan...after scoring 9 runs yesterday...you know the White Sox are going to lose tonight 2 to 0! But as you pointed out...IF they even play tonight.
