Some big news out of Yankees' camp yesterday, Luis Severino has officailly been tabbed as the Opening Day starter! What an honor for the young phenom!

You didn't think I meant the regular season, did you? Way too early for any news on that, silly people. #Sevy will be followed by Ivan Nova then Bryan Mitchell, the rest is TBD. Yes we're only talking about the Spring Training opener, but theoretically we could have even been talking about the regular season Opening Day starter and it still might not have even been the biggest news out of camp.

Oh yeah, it got real yesterday. The full timeline of events is actually pretty great and hilarious.
Comments of the Day
A buddy of mine saw Luis Cessa take his shirt off in the shower, and he said that Luis Cessa had an eight-pack.

Fun Questions
- Did you watch the Oscars last night? If so, any particular awards/snubs stand out to you?
- What would be your plan of attack for the rogue raccoon?
Song of the Day
Kanto Pokérap by James "D Train" Williams and Babi Floyd
It's PokéWeek on Pinstripe Alley. Makes sense as this past weekend was the 20th anniversary of the original games being released. Today's song is the original Pokérap which includes the original 150 Pokémon. I still love rapping this song. As always, please link us your song of the day.
Feel free to use this as your open thread for the day. Mad Max was robbed of the Visual Effects award last night and oh hey, it's February 29th.
