Game Thread: New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays 4/3

Weather permitting the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays are set to kick off their quick two-game set here in the Bronx. The New York Yankees are also set to open up their home schedule this afternoon welcoming Chris Archer and the Rays to Yankee Stadium. Jordan Montgomery will take the ball for the Yankees in their home opener. This is the first time we will truly and officially see Giancarlo Stanton in pinstripes, and I have to say that excites me probably more than it should. I can’t wait to see how Stanton and others can abuse that right field porch this season. Stanton made it a point to hit the ball the other way more here in 2018 for that exact reason and I just want to see all his work and his plans come to fruition at the rest of the league’s expense. Sue me. The game will be played at 4:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium and can be seen on the YES Network. You can also follow along on MLB TV, the MLB At-Bat app, and on the Yankees radio broadcast with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman on WFAN.
