What's with the glove on Brett Gardner's left hand?ESPN just left the Yankees/Cardinals in the 5th to go to SportsCenter. Nice work.
ETA: Switched the game over to ESPN2 without warning.

Hello, TJVentura left Monday's game with a trainer, the Kansas City Andy McCullough reports.
Spin:
He had given up five earned runs on seven hits and three walks in just 2.2 innings before leaving the game. His fastball, which often sits 98-100 mph, was clocked at just 91 mph against the final hitter he faced. There's no word as to an injury yet, but this is obviously very concerning.
Sounds an awful lot like Jose's last start.Yordano, wait!

Hello, TJ
Not even close. The monster is in a category of its own like Madison Square Garden and Lambeu Field.Yeah maybe it's east coast bias by me, but i put the monster way ahead of the ivyHmmmm. Interesting poll here.Smack Tripper said:The monster it's second only to the ivy as most iconic of elements in baseball.
Captain-material.George Springer's last 5 games:
450% avg.
10 runs
5 HRs
12 RBIs
He's crushing everything.
What also came to mind is the Yankee Stadium frieze and the "water spectacular" in KC.Not even close.

The frieze is up there. It's not like they just got it in 2009 with the new stadium...it was a staple of the original since its inception, just took on a couple of different forms. But people see that and immediately think Yankee Stadium. Probably 3rd place in terms of icon status, but it's safe to put it up there with the other two. The warehouse in Camden is probably next.ummm. noWhat also came to mind is the Yankee Stadium frieze and the "water spectacular" in KC.Not even close.

I guess I was looking at it from general public view. A very large percent would recognize the Monster and the Ivy. I can't imagine many people would know what the hell that frieze is.

As someone who grew up in the Midwest and spent my first 37 years living there or South Carolina, I would say the frieze at the old Yankee Stadium is probably the most enduring and recognizable architectural feature of any sports stadium in North America.I guess I was looking at it from general public view.

In 2010, Yankees fans, many begrudgingly, migrated to a new Yankees Stadium. There are mixed opinions comparing old and new, and "Yoi'kas" are ever so adamant to their respective stance.
Thankfully, some elements of the old stadium shine through in the new edition; the most critical was the single most defining characteristic of Yankees Stadium and baseball in New York.
The lattice work.
Lattice work is perfectly replicated at the new location, rimming the outfield wall just like the original park. the design is also seen serving as an overhang from locations above the infield seating.
Whether they prefer new or old, this critical, historical element of Yankees baseball continues to live on into the future decades.
More than the "Green Monster" or any modern monuments to the game, this design will always be associated with Yankees Stadium, home of the most successful team in MLB history.

Hello, TJ
Yeah, I actually have never heard it called frieze. I always thought that meant relief sculpture on a building, like on the Parthenon.shadyridr said:i always called it the facade
In the early 90s, the fountains likely would have been #2 to young NV, but that has everything to do with RBI Baseball.Michael Brown said:And I'd say the KC fountains are in the same class as the Clemente Bridge and McCovey Cove on the next tier.

sweet fancy moses!Make that 11Encarnacion already has 10 HR's this month
Entering the seventh inning of Tuesday night's game against the Rockies (GameTracker), Phillies fly-catcher Ben Revere had gone 1,565 plate appearances without hitting a major-league home run. Then, this happened ...http://cdn.fangraphs.com/not/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/reverehr.gif
Congratulations, Boone Logan: You've done what no one has ever done before -- i.e., give up a big-league home run to Ben Revere!
at least once or twice a weekHow often does the next day's starting pitcher, pinch hit in the 10th and hit an RBI double to score the intentionally walked Mark "Speedy" Reynolds all the way from first? Someone at Elias get on this

You Yankee fans need to get over yourselves. Ive been a pretty big baseball fan my entire life and I can honestly never even knew this "frieze" was a "thing". I barely recognize the site of it and never heard the word in my life. Love 'em or hate 'em, the rocks/waterfall in Anaheim, the pool in Arizona, the train in Houston, McCovey cove, the arch in St Louis, the slide in Milwaukee, the warehouse in Camden Yards, the roof in Toronto, hell - even the spinning fish in Florida are all much more recognizable than some dumb white fence thing that Ive never noticed or heard of.urbanhack said:bigmarc27 said:Wah?
