Around the Empire: Yankees news - 3/31/25
Briefly

The Yankees showcased a remarkable offensive performance in their opening series against the Brewers, leading to discussions around their innovative "torpedo" bats designed to maximize contact. While some conspiracy theories surround the bats, their legality is confirmed. Aaron Judge notably shone, hitting four home runs without using the new design. The Yankees also made history, tying a record for the most home runs in the first three games of a season,though defensive lapses were evident with multiple errors committed, raising concerns for future performance.
"Despite some conspiracy theories, the bats are entirely legal, and just how much of the Yankees' outburst was due to them is up for debate."
"It ain't the wand, it's the magician," said Brewers Manager Pat Murphy, highlighting that talent matters more than equipment.
"Following their franchise record-setting nine home runs on Saturday, the Yankees launched four more on Sunday, marking a total of 15 for the season."
"Considering what happened in the season-ending loss in Game 5 of last year's World Series, it's certainly worth keeping an eye on how the defense performs."
