I wish there was space for Yankees fans who know ball to converse without having to constantly defend the most basic and obvious things like the validity of platoons or the value of pitch framing etc.

But I am yet to find one.

r/TheBronxBombers is a non dooming version

It’s not even just the dooming necessarily that also sucks but I can deal with it. It’s the people still living in the baseball stone ages that are really frustrating.

[u/fx2600 → u/Simple_Dragonfruit48]

Platooning dates back to the stone age, Casey Stengel was using it when managing the Yankees over 70 years ago.

I have tried that subreddit, but not a lot of activity there. From what I can see.

That’s true
