5/3 OFF-DAY THREAD: The one about The Yankees

Starting tomorrow, we're in for a 3-game set against the New York Yankees. Yes, it will be contentious. Yes, feelings are going to be hot. Yes, the urge to trash talk will reach exponential levels.

So let's take this opportunity to go over a couple of things:

1.) Under no circumstances is it okay to go to the Yankees sub and trash talk, troll, downvote, etc. Brigading is explicitly against Reddit's TOS and will lead to further action against your account. Just don't.

We have already reached out to the mods at NYY and have expressed the desire to work together and keep this series as civil as possible. If we receive modmail from them that you were reported for breaking a subrule, you will be banned here as well. This has been a long-standing rule in all baseball-related subs. 1 strike and you're out, so don't be that Redditor.

2.) DO NOT ENGAGE. Responding to trolls in our house only feeds them and gives them what they want. Downvote, report, and move along. If you report bad actors, the mods can see it much faster than by scanning the threads, meaning we can take action faster. And we will be reporting back to the NYY sub as well.

This does not mean report for anything and everything. Help us make this sub great.

3.) MLBstreams is gone. Yes, there are other ways to find streams. This ain't the place to ask for them. Offering streaming links or asking for them will get your comment removed, and subject to further penalty. This stuff breaks TOS as well, so be smart.

4.) Be nice to each other. In games like this, emotions run hot. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. It's May. The playoffs are not going to be determined this week, for either team.

5.) Remember- Yankees fans are just like you, but wearing different colored laundry. They're baseball fans and people as well. Try to remember that.

Okay now that that business is out of the way- let's have a little fun.

STRAW POLL:

• Who's the team MVP/Cy Young so far this season?
• Who's been your favorite/surprise player so far?
• Who is the best broadcast team in baseball, and why is it TK/Blummer/Julia?
• What other team(s) in baseball are you currently following or interested in?

Have a happy Monday y'all!
