Cecilia M. Tan @whyilikebaseball.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Meanwhile, the Trop is so loud that I can't even hear what these announcers are blathering on about.

Cecilia M. Tan @whyilikebaseball.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The Yankees had the better team than the Red Sox. But are they better than the Rays? I feel like both the Yankees and Rays have deficiencies, but I went into this series expecting the Rays to probably pull off the win. I'm still rooting for the Yankees to find a way to do it, but jeeeez. 000
Cecilia M. Tan @whyilikebaseball.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Remember how the Red Sox took out their starters kinda early and then their bullpen got victimized? The Rays took out Peralta and the Yankees loaded the bases... but couldn't break through. Meanwhile the Yankees went to their 'pen and... *facepalm* 000
Cecilia M. Tan @whyilikebaseball.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I feel like the Yankees ought to consider all wearing acoustic filters when they play in the dome. It's so loud, that affects adrenaline and biomechanics. Wearing Loops or similar ear filters that reduce the dB but still let you hear might help some of the sloppy play from "nerves." 021
