Good Friday<\/a> (gotta get that Easter humor in there), as they celebrated their home opener with a dominant 8-2 victory on Friday over the Miami Marlins. Although it does not generate quite as much social media buzz as when it is the first game of the season, the home opener nonetheless was the biggest topic this week \u2014 particularly with Olympic gold medalists Jack Hughes and Aerin Frankel on hand to celebrate the U.S. men\u2019s and women\u2019s hockey teams with the ceremonial first pitch.<\/p>\nBehind the NY<\/p>\n
The Yankees\u2019 YouTube account has begun a new series this year, Behind the NY. This past week, the second episode released, titled \u201cThe Standard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sightseeing in Seattle<\/p>\n
While the Yankees took two out of three on the diamond in Seattle, the broadcasters had some fun sightseeing and hanging out with some old friends. Remember, Dave Sims spent 14 years calling games for the Mariners, and he was thrilled to be around to see soon-to-retire M\u2019s radio voice Rick Rizzs.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t Quit Your Day Jobs<\/p>\n
Back in spring training, we got a glimpse of the Yankees engaging in some art behind home plate during drills, but never got to see the results. Well, with the off day on Wednesday, the social media team finally decided to grace us with the video, and, uh\u2026yea, these guys aren\u2019t exactly artists.<\/p>\n
The Game Belt<\/p>\n
The Yankees haven\u2019t quite been as good as the Knicks are at posting their Game Belt exchanges on social media, but we still got to learn that Aaron Judge received the belt for his two-run homer in the first inning during the home opener.<\/p>\n
Somerset Media Day<\/p>\n
The Somerset Patriots shared pictures and videos from their own media day, which took place after the Yankees and their minor league system broke camp in Tampa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s Sunday once more, and you know what that means \u2014 it\u2019s time for our weekly social media…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":665452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2376],"tags":[106,5,66159,1811,620,58,4,1690,62,2548,2547,66,619,3380,142],"class_list":{"0":"post-665451","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-yankees","8":"tag-aaron-judge","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-jack-hughes","11":"tag-knicks","12":"tag-mariners","13":"tag-miami-marlins","14":"tag-mlb","15":"tag-new-york","16":"tag-new-york-yankees","17":"tag-newyork","18":"tag-newyorkyankees","19":"tag-san-francisco-giants","20":"tag-seattle","21":"tag-social-media","22":"tag-yankees"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116354738345163478","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=665451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/665452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=665451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=665451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=665451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
