April 21st, 2026: Rice, Warren, Rosario, McMahon, Prospects, 2026 Draft | RAB Thoughts Get more from RAB Thoughts on Patreon

Wrote about the Royals series and some prospects at the Patreon today: www.patreon.com/posts/april-...

Zack Wheeler on @Yankees top prospect George Lombard Jr. on Wednesday: "He's going to be a good player ... hopefully I don't have to face him too much."

Sunday: George Lombard Jr. takes him deep 💪

Watson not being able to finish the game forces a seventh reliever (Chapman) out of the bullpen as the Yankees enjoy a day off. Not ideal.

God bless the AL Central.

Go Knicks.

Big fan of the "score 13 runs" thing. Let's do it again tomorrow. Enjoy your Saturday.

A crisp sweeper (86mph) -> sinker (96mph) pair from Will Warren.

Amed Rosario is an elite masher of lefites and an elite vibes guy. A+ signing.

I've always believed in Ryan McMahon.

Ben Bomb 💣

It's time for Yankees baseball.

Garret Anderson Passes Away At 53 Angels legend Garret Anderson has tragically passed away at just 53 years of age. MLB Trade Rumors joins the baseball world in mourning his loss.

The heart of an era of Angels baseball that absolutely crushed the Yankees. Garret Anderson hit .319 with 39 doubles & 15 homers in 124 games vs. NYY, plus a 1.088 OPS in 2002 ALDS & a .934 OPS in '05 ALDS.
Hated seeing that man come up to the plate, ultimate testament of respect. Rest in peace.

Yankees fans are begging: Stop the ‘incessant’ stadium sounds The Yankees have ratcheted up usage of their thunderous sound system since midway through the 2024 season, playing sound effects between nearly every pitch. Fans have had enough, but players want more...

#Yankees fans want Yankee Stadium's “incessant" sounds to stop.

But the org says the noise is "by design," and players want it to be louder on the field.

“If I was a fan, I wouldn’t like it, too," Aaron Judge said. "But as players, we’re all sitting here and still can’t hear the music.”

The Yankees were the third team in history to allow only eight runs in their first seven games. They've allowed 68 runs in the 12 games since.

Aaron Judge homers again

With Judge & Trout both hitting 4 home runs, this is the 2nd series with a Yankee and an opponent hitting 4+ HR

June 20-23, 1932 at Browns with Hall of Famers Lou Gehrig & Goose Goslin hitting 4 apiece in a 4-game split at Sportsman's Park (Goslin hit 3 in the finale)

Max Fried starting and Oswald Peraza hitting cleanup for the other team. If the Yankees lose today, I will be Mad Online.

Gerrit Cole is starting a rehab assignment Friday in Double-A, Boone says.

Had it all the way. 🚕

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is wearing his pants like Jackie Robinson tonight as a tribute 💙

Back in his rightful place atop the league home run leaderboard.

I assume Grichuk's gone when Volpe comes back. Bellinger's been sneaky bad. One game on the bench isn't the end of the world.

My tepid take is sitting Rice vs. LHP is fine for the time being. He has big whiff issues against lefties and really isn't that good against them. His numbers are as good as they are in part because the Yankees are sheltering him against LHP. See where things are at in a few weeks and re-evaluate.

Hammer the over on strikeouts on whoever's pitching against the Yankees that night. Free money.

Tonight we drink like kings.
