Happy birthday goes out to Hiroki Kuroda, who turns 39 today. He hasn’t just been the team’s best pitcher these last two years, he has legitimately been one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. On par with guys like Cole Hamels, Yu Darvish, David Price, and even Felix Hernandez if you stick to bWAR. The Yankees will need Kuroda to be as good as ever in 2014 as CC Sabathia looks to rebound from a dreadful season and Masahiro Tanaka makes the transition to MLB.
Here is your open thread for the evening. YES is showing Tanaka’s start against the Yomiuri Giants from last summer in its entirety (7pm ET), if you’re interested. The Olympics are on as well. Talk about whatever you like here. Have at it.
