Tuesday Night Open Thread

Over at MLB.com, friend of RAB Mike Petriello used some #math to rank 2017’s top platoons. The Yankees first base duo of Greg Bird and Tyler Austin come in third, behind Cubs left fielders (Kyle Schwarber and Ben Zobrist) and Dodgers right fielders (Yasiel Puig and Andre Ethier). Who knows whether Bird and Austin will actually platoon this year, but it sure seems possible, and given what they’ve done in their limited MLB time, they could be quite productive. Bird crushed righties and Austin crushed lefties. Could be cool.

Anyway, here is tonight’s open thread. The NHL All-Star break is over, so all three local teams are back in action. The Knicks are also playing and there’s some college hoops back on as well. Talk about those games, the Bird/Austin platoon, or anything else right here. Just not politics or religion.
