Yankees Off Day Walk-Up Music Recommendation: DJ LeMahieu

The Yankees are off today, so enjoy this walk-up music recommendation from the team. Every time DJ LeMahieu walks up to the plate inside Yankee Stadium the song "Ready" by Wide Awake blares through the speakers in the Bronx. Now it can also blare through your speakers this morning. Enjoy.

Yankees (Supposed to Be) Off Day Walk Up Music Recommendation

The New York Yankees were supposed to be off today as they travel to Texas to take on the Texas Rangers so now seems like a good time to check in with an old special that used to be run here on the blog, the off day walk up music recommendation. Today I wanted to cover and showcase the music of Sonny Gray, the newest Yankee, every time he takes the mound inside Yankee Stadium.

The name of the song is Stacy’s Mom by Fountains of Wayne. Enjoy and I hope you enjoyed the off day, not many of these left this season. 

Yankee Stadium Off Day Music Recommendation

The New York Yankees are off today as they finally get a day of rest as the team travels to square off with the Houston Astros so let’s have a little fun today with our relaxation, shall we?

Every off day the Yankees have, or close to it as we can get, we showcase one of the Yankees players walkup music as they step up to the plate or enter from the bullpen and today, friends, will be no different. Today we will showcase the walkup music of the one that makes us rise….. yeah not the greatest choice of words. Aaron Judge!

Every time Judge takes his place at the plate inside Yankee Stadium the song "Through the Late Night" by Travis Scott can be heard blaring through the Yankee Stadium speakers.

Also, from my own personal collection, I have been stuck on this Logic album called “Everybody.” I especially like the song below called “Everybody.”

Another Yankees Off Day…. Another Musical Recommendation

We spoke about this briefly the other day, well the last time the Yankees had an off day actually, but I want to touch on it a little more here today. The Chainsmokers finally released an album after countless singles and a couple of EP’s (that I know about) and I have to say I am pretty impressed with it. Is it going to win album of the year? Well I highly doubt that to be honest but I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it my first two-or-three times through so I wanted to share some of it here for you today.

If you’re new here and you’re wondering why we are talking music on a Yankees-related blog it is because we usually go casual and talk about whatever on off days. It is part of what makes us, us. We will bring you the walk up music and entrance music for various players throughout the year on off days, we will bring you baseball related movies and book recommendations and pretty much anything we can think of to be different, unique and entertaining.

That’s why you come in the first place, isn’t it? Enjoy the off day and your Tuesday everybody.

The Yankees Final Off Day of 2016

The New York Yankees are off today. The next time we get to say that, barring a historic run of course, the 2016 regular season will be over and 10 teams (or possibly more I guess) will be awaiting their fates in the 2016 postseason. I had the Yankees making the postseason this year before this disastrous series with the Boston Red Sox but that's baseball sometimes. I'm not giving up, I'm just extremely discouraged and I can't see it logistically happening.

So with this final off day of the regular season we have the final off day music recommendation of the season. This is the last one, that's a lot of pressure. Who do I choose? My favorite player? The flavor of the week? How about just the song I like the most?

So with that in mind I went with an old song but a song that I truly love, the song that plays when Tyler Clippard enters a game inside Yankee Stadium. "Ready or Not" by the Fugees. Enjoy!

Yankee Stadium Off Day Music Recommendation featuring Aaron Judge

Back in January someone asked Aaron Judge what he wanted his walk-up music to be if and when he reached the Major Leagues and he answered with something I don't think anyone before him has. He said he would use the intro music to the popular television show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Okay then, when you're that big and that good you can do whatever you want.

In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.

Yankees Off Day Walk Up Music Recommendation

The Yankees are off tonight as you may have guessed by all the content here on the blog today and like we do on every off day here on the blog we like to bring you a little something different. While some bloggers, not naming any names whatsoever, enjoy the night off I just can’t do that for whatever reason and I have to keep the content flowing. Today I bring you a music recommendation from Yankee Stadium, the walk up music for Aaron Hicks.

I have been harder on Hicks than probably anyone has this season and I am willing to eat a little crow and sit here with egg on my face if and when he can turn things around and prove me wrong. He has come a long way in doing that since the Carlos Beltran trade but I am a firm believer in large sample sizes and FYI, three weeks is not a large sample size.

So here is Hicks walk up music. Get used to it because no matter what the stat line says Joe Girardi is going to play him every single day until the end of the season. The name of the song is “Fire” and the artist is the Ohio Players. Enjoy. 

Yankees Off Day Walk Up Music Recommendation for Greg Bird

The New York Yankees learned this weekend that Mark Teixeira would be calling it a career at the end of the 2016 MLB season. Many wondered if New York would bring Teixeira back on a cheap one-year deal or even offer him a qualifying offer after Greg Bird went down with a shoulder injury in spring training before the season but with that option now off the board I believe the Yankees are now all-in on Bird, whether they really want to be or not.

To be fair Bird has already resumed baseball activities including throwing, swinging a bat and such so he should be more than ready, or at the very least the Yankees should know one way or the other the status of that shoulder, by spring training 2017. Since the Yankees now presumably have to rely on him so heavily next season, and since we haven't talked much about him this season to be fair, I wanted to use this off day as an opportunity to look ahead a bit and listen to the music we will hear every time the lefty steps up to the plate inside Yankee Stadium next season.

When Bird steps to the plate inside Yankee Stadium the song "Right Above It" by Lil Wayne can be heard blaring through the speakers in the Bronx... and that same song can be heard blaring through your speakers now on this off day. Enjoy.

Weekend Finale Open Thread

For this weekend finale open thread I just have one question for anyone and everyone reading this? Why does the typical work week seem to just drag and drag and drag while you can nod off for a second or stop to breathe on the weekend and it's over? Something seems wrong about that, maybe it's a conspiracy theory. Does the universal timer get put on 2X speed during the weekend and 0.5X throughout the week? I need to speak to someone on this and if the blog goes quiet you know I asked the wrong person the wrong question in the wrong position. President Obama I'm looking at you when I say this.

I am kidding obviously, well hopefully, but seriously this weekend has once again flown by and now it's over. Here is a weekend finale open thread for you guys and girls. I hope you had as awesome of a weekend as I did with my family and children. See you back at it tomorrow bright and early. Good night Yankees family!

Yankees Off Day Yankee Stadium Music Recommendation

The New York Yankees are off today and there isn’t much going on so how about a music recommendation for your drive home, while you’re cooking dinner, while you’re just chilling at work or just because? Sounds good to me too so this evening we’ll check in with and listen to the music that Didi Gregorius hears every time he steps up to the plate inside Yankee Stadium.

The name of the song is “Notorious Big” by Notorious BIG. Enjoy.

Yankee Stadium Off Day Walk Up Music Recommendation

Another day and another off day for the New York Yankees. I’m sure the team isn’t complaining much after playing in 40 games in 41 days but I know the fans can sometimes get a little impatient with two days off in a week. Nothing we can do about that though, that’s fully in the MLB scheduler’s hands, but we can enjoy the day, get that project done we’ve been meaning to get done and recharge the batteries both physically and mentally.

Like we do with every off day we bring to you today the walk up or entrance music for one of the Yankees players or stars and today that star is Aroldis Chapman. After hearing Enter Sandman for so many years at the beginning of every 9^th inning in the Bronx we’ve been given a variety of music to enjoy over the years with the latest being “Wake Up” by Rage Against the Machine.

Enjoy the song and enjoy the off day. New York welcomes Minnesota to the Bronx tomorrow for a three-game weekend set inside Yankee Stadium. It should be fun. 

Yankee Stadium Off Day Music Recommendation

The New York Yankees are off again today as they leave the Great Lakes area to come back home to the Bronx, New York and Yankee Stadium. As we like to do with every off day we will bring you an off day music recommendation with a twist to keep you busy on this Yankees off day. In years past we have gone with some of the better known Yankees but today we will go with a lesser known Yankee, lesser known because he is the newest Yankee. Ike Davis.

Every time Ike Davis steps up to the plate at Yankee Stadium the song "Start Me Up" is heard blaring from the Yankee Stadium speakers. Can't go wrong with the Rolling Stones, can you?

New York Yankees Off Day Open Thread

The New York Yankees are off tonight after playing 40 games in 41 days and the rest tonight is much deserved and definitely much needed. It's too bad that the team is likely spending the off day traveling out west to Colorado to take on the Colorado Rockies inside Coors Field. So while the Yankees either travel or get settled into their hotel rooms to have nightmares of facing Nolan Arenado for three games I leave you with this open thread for the night.

Talk about whatever you like, just keep it respectful please. Thank you and have a great night.

New York Yankees Off Day Music Recommendation

The New York Yankees are off tonight, I haven't been able to say that much in the last forty-something days unfortunately, so like the Yankees are undoubtedly resting up tonight I plan on doing the same. How do you relax? Me personally I like to be in the house with my wife and family either watching TV or listening to music. Speaking of music here is a music recommendation from the New York Yankees and Yankee Stadium to chill to tonight inside your home.

So here is the music that plays every time Mark Teixeira steps up to the plate inside Yankee Stadium( because it may never happen again unless he's a visiting player). The name of the song is It's Tricky by Run DMC. Enjoy.

Yankees Off Day Walk Up Music Recommendation

Every time the New York Yankees take an off day I tend to take an off day as well. When we first started this blog I had no problem going hard at it for four or five hours a day, or more some day, to get it off the ground but now I feel like I don't want to burn myself out. I have children now, plural, and while I still put my heart and soul into my writing I do take a day off from time to time. I said all that to say this, I leave you with this open thread and music recommendation for the evening.

Every time Alex Rodriguez comes to the plate at Yankee Stadium, like he will tomorrow when he is activated off the 15 day disabled list, the song "N****'s in Paris" is played by Jay-Z and Kanye West so I leave you with that tonight. Enjoy.

Taking My Wife Out to Dinner Open Thread

So as many of you saw on Thursday I wished my wife a very happy birthday this week but until now I haven't been able to take her out to dinner. We went out on Thursday but it wasn't the birthday dinner I wanted to take her out to nor the birthday dinner that she deserved. We had inventory at work on Friday (which means early to work and LATE to leave) and inventory reconciliation on Saturday (rinse and repeat the early and late departures) so we're just now getting to do it right.

So while we eat, celebrate and be merry I leave you with an open thread for the night with one of my wife's favorite artists right now as the musical recommendation. The name of the song is Animals by Maroon 5. Enjoy.

Weekend Finale Open Thread

This has been one hell of a weekend for the sports fan, hasn't it? The Yankees and the Blue Jays played four games in basically 48 hours inside Yankee Stadium while the NFL and College Football continued and started their respected schedules. The wife wasn't very happy about the sports schedule this weekend and my amount of television or internet time but what can you do, right?

So I leave you with an open thread for the night since I am going to watch Fear The Walking Dead and head to bed. Goodnight Yankees family, enjoy the song Final Countdown by Europe.... just because it describes the finale of the MLB season.

Wow, What a Day... Open Thread

The title says it all, wow…. What a day. The New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays played a single admission double header today and will be right back at the ballpark tomorrow afternoon for the finale of this four-game set. Thank God these games don’t mean anything and they are in September so some of the fresh arms and prospects that came up when rosters expanded could get a chance to play. No one wants to see another Moonlight Graham (Google is your friend). But anyway enough with the tongue in cheek commentary and on with the open thread for the night.

I leave you with this song that I have had on repeat for most of the day. I don’t know why, I just like it. The name of the song is “The Hills” and the artist goes by the name “The Weeknd.” That is not a typo, enjoy the rest of your day!

Yankees Off Day Walk up Music Recommendation

The Yankees can't have too many more off days this season because we are just about out of walk up music recommendations for the team. When I go to the New York Yankees Ballpark Music page on Yankees.com I only see one more player or instance that we haven't used, and we will use that one today. Brendan Ryan, Mr. Mustache, walks up to the plate at Yankee Stadium every single night with the song "Breathe and Stop" by Q-Tip playing in the background.

Enjoy the song and enjoy the off day! We're back to work tomorrow night in the Bronx.

Weekend Finale Open Thread

While this has been one of your run of the mill weekends for most this has been an absolutely crazy weekend for myself. The Yankees came down to Atlanta and I made the two hour trek to Turner Field with my wife and my son and made the two hour trek back to my home on Saturday which really wore me out. When I was younger and it was just me and the wife going to a game and staying out all night was nothing, we even went to work the next day, but now not so much. You don't merely sit in your seats for nine innings with a curious five-year old. You walk around the park, you go to the bathroom about 14 times, you go and get hot dogs, you go  and get drinks, you go see the sites and the museum's inside the ballpark and you're up by 7:00 AM the very next morning because you got two hours of sleep on the way home and you're a kid.

And it was all worth it....

Needless to say I'm beat so I leave you with this open thread to finish off the weekend here on the blog. I may stay up to watch Fear the Walking Dead but I doubt it so just in case I nod off I wanted to leave you here with this music recommendation out of my personal collection. It's my son's favorite song and I think we listened to it like 14 times on the way down to Atlanta Saturday and another nine times on the way home before he finally fell asleep. America's Suitehearts, the remix, by Fallout Boy. Enjoy!
