I know who the company is and all, but I’ve never liked the “OXY” all over the ballpark. It’s just a bad look.

The internets will have a field day with these ad patches…

It’s horrible- the bright colors draw as much attention as the team’s logo, if not more.

I’m surprised by the size of the patch… Are other teams’ uniform ad patches this large?

No idea, but there are comically long sections of the CBA setting the rules for the size and location of logos and patches in painstaking detail. I’m not sure if the ad patches are subject to the same rules.

So will Jeter take over a broadcasting role that ARod does better?

The Big Hurt will be playing the role of Robin Ventura and be the odd man out.

Having more Yankees on the panel will make the rationalizations for their losses to Houston more entertaining and bizarre

Thomas should use that commercial line on Jeter just for the response

Just reported that the committee (owners, players assoc and umpires) have voted unanimously to make the Manfred Man runner in extra innings permanent.

Even in postseason?

No, I’m pretty sure it is still regular season only. All parties just decided to make it permanent.

Also, the committee also has ruled that position players can only pitch in extra innings or in the 9th if down by 10 or more runs.

Weren’t both of these rules implemented last year?

The Manfred man was in place but still officially a temporary rule

I believe the position players pitching was 6 runs last year
