The Yankees woke up today feeling the abnormally warm weather in NYC and decided to break the bats out.

Their unfortunate victim was an old friend in Nestor Cortes Jr.

The Yankees decided to enact some revenge on the lefty.

Three pitches, three homers.

Witnessing this in person was truly unbelievable.

I was filming a Gametime ad just as Goldy connected.

Couldn’t catch my breath for Belly or Judge’s.

Wells added one a few batters later to top off a four homer first inning.

And then an inning later Volpe blew this shit open.

Judge’s turn came up once more and he detonated for a grand slam.

The entire stadium just knew he was about to let one fly.

A concoction of terrible pitching and warm weather resulted in nukes being hit all over the damn place.

If he wanted to he would have had 4 which is nuts to say.

What a fucking day at the ol' ball park.

Sorry we’re just really smart and play by the rules.

Good on the Yankees for being on top of this.

I’m guessing most teams are already doing this or will begin to after the 20 run outburst.

Everyone except the Pirates, Marlins, Rockies, and Angels that is.

If it results in the Yankees scoring 20 runs a game I’ll have zero objections.

2-0, 24 runs scored.

The defense simply has to be better.

Never play Pablo Reyes again.
