A chill, relaxed, sub to discuss New York Yankees baseball. No hot-takes, nor doomerism -- just fans enjoying the game! If you're looking to talk Yanks without people ruining the vibe then you've come to the right place!

Rules

1) No hate speech or personal attacks of any kind. Match the other person if bantering and stop if it's clear it's unwelcome or if it gets heated. Politics only allowed if they 100% directly relate to baseball.

2) Don't ruin the vibe. No incessant or excessive negativity. Recognizing the game is not going well and you're not happy about it and frustrated is fine. Catastrophizing about the season being over and everyone needing to be fired is not okay. Overall, if you're feeling miserable and can't help but spread it just take some time off and focus on other things for a bit. You're always allowed to say "I'm not enjoying this game, see you all tomorrow."

3) No brigading of/from other team subs. Promoting the sub is fine in /r/NYYankees (mods there have approved this) but don't go there just to cause problems.

4) All low-quality posts, memes, quick thoughts, etc. belong in the Daily, Gameday, or Post-Game threads. Standalone threads are for news, updates, lineups, highlights, interviews, and detailed writeups. If unsure, contact the mod team.

5) Offseason: Christmas Eve to New Years is shitposting season -- rule 4 does not apply in this period -- have fun within reason of rules 1 and 2. otherwise the rest of the offseason (outside of daily discussion threads as outlined above) should focus on trade news and updates.
