Thursday Night Open Thread

The Yankees have an off-day today and will open a pretty important three-game series with the Orioles tomorrow. They play them again next weekend too. This is a chance to gain some ground in the wildcard race. Anyway, make sure you check out Wally Matthews’ story on outfield positioning. Yankees outfielders literally keep positioning notes under their hats and look at them prior to each at-bat. Neat stuff.

Here is tonight’s open thread. The Mets are playing, MLB Network is showing a regional game, and there are some NFL preseason games on too. Talk about that stuff or anything else right here. Go nuts.
