Mystique & Aura Have Finally Made The Move Over To The New Yankee Stadium

With three walk off wins in three days, it is time for New Stadium Insider to take a [not so] serious look at the circumstances surrounding this sudden return to glory at Yankee Stadium.
  • The Yankees relaxed their batting practice policies, and real fans are now able to give the players some encouragement before the games. Mystique and Aura approve.
Devil's advocate says: For all three of these walk off wins, there was no batting practice, due to bad weather.
  • The Yankees have played three games at home this season with A-Rod in the lineup. They have won all three games in walk off style. Coincidence? We think not.
Devil's advocate says: He only won Saturday's game. With his salary, he should hit a walk off home run every single game.
  • We weren't at the games. We are clearly bad luck for the Yankees.
Devil's advocate says: We actually were at the first second walk off win in Yankee Stadium history against the Angels, so we are no strangers to late-inning heroics.

Jokes aside, the Yankees have received stellar bullpen work this weekend, along with timely hits. Sprinkle in quality starting pitching and suddenly the new Yankee Stadium is a haven for magic moments. Let's hope the Yankees can make it four walk off wins in a row tomorrow night when the recent college graduate Nick makes his long-awaited new Yankee Stadium, regular season debut.

I'll be there too. Hopefully we won't jinx them.
Wasn't the first walkoff win in the new stadium against the A's on 4/22?
"Devil's advocate says: For all three of these walk off wins, there was no batting practice, due to bad weather."

WRONG. There was, indeed, BP today

He'll get this season, and if they don't make the playoffs, he'll probably be gone. That is my take.
No doubt about it that A Rod's return really put some life back into the team. I'm not saying he directly did this, but I think pitchers just have one more thing to think about with him in that lineup. They seem to be playing more relaxed. They're clicking right now.

A ability to win the close games is a sign of a great team...and pays off come stretch time/playoffs when every pitch is huge. This time is going to be fun to watch all year.
Didn't A-Rod also take the walk that ended up scoring the winning run in Friday's game? Maybe it was not as dramatic as Saturday's HR, but it still got the same result - Yankee win

I'm an avid A-Rod supporter through thick and thin, so I support your
assertion that he was the reason for Friday's win as well.
