MLB 2019 Regular Season Thread - Go get it out of the ocean!

I mean, who exactly is gonna give them crap for it? There’s not a single player today who’s bigger than the Yankees brand. And if any player tried to do so that’s not already signed with them will immediately be told to fuck off by longtime fans.

you do understand how fucking idiotic that is right

[Xno Kappa]

Just telling you the attitude is not going to change from the players, fandom, or media anytime soon in regards to facial hair for the Yankees lol. And there isn’t going to be a player with enough clout in the foreseeable future to change “tradition.”

[archibaldcrane]

right, I'm saying the yankees, their fans, and the media that covers them are fuckin idiots

Not talking about players on the team, more like media and other players. It's just so antiquated. Do you really want to miss out on a player just because they like their facial hair and don't want to conform to that level for... what's the reason again? "Professionalism"?

To me it's another flavor of the "Unwritten Rules" crap that the Braves (rightfully) used to take crap for

No player is going to pass on the Yankees due to the facial hair and hair length policy. The only person that may have pushed it would have been Harper and I'm sure he would have cleaned up for them too. You guys remember when Johnny Damon came to the Yankees from Boston and the media went all WILL HE SHAVE AND CUT HIS HAIR and then he shows up at a press conference looking like a baby boy.

It maybe be antiquated for baseball but thousands of employers require people be clean shaven for employment.

Why would you think that? You really don't think it has been a factor in anyone's decision?

Right but it's baseball, not a regular job. The work force has the power.

Well they haven't said so publicly and that's all we have to go by. If no one has said it then it probably hasn't been a factor so I'll continue to think it until it comes out. I'm sure if Harper made a stink about it there would be a lot of pressure on the Yankees to budge, and without George, they probably would break.

I don't get how the Yankees trade for players. When you make a trade, you don't get to rewrite their contract with a beard clause right?

I mean, we can go by normal human logic. Anything and everything is a consideration for where you work. No one has said it because relationships are important. If someone decides not to sign there they aren't going to announce that part of it was because of the beard rule.

I guess the Yankees reach out to make sure the player is ok with the rule before finalizing the trade? See how bizarre this is lol

Max Muncy hits a ball 600 feet into the water, and Bumgarner gets mad that he pimped it.

Muncy: “Bumgarner said ‘don’t watch the ball, run’, and I just told him if he doesn’t want me to watch the ball, go get it out of the ocean.”

He barely even pimped it at all. Bumgarner is the worst, Muncy should've crawled around the bases after that.

There is security cam footage of it floating on twitter. Ortiz is just sitting having a drink and random doode just walks up behind him and shoots. There's also footage of everyone tracking the guy and pinning him down while they wait for authorities, randomly hitting and kicking him too. Shit is nuts.

[Melena]

It's a dodger thing. Was the same with Puig. Dude just really really really hates the fucking Dodger's.
