I have faith they will.

 

Severino was good against Cleveland this year. I expect a rebound tomorrow from his WC start. Betting against 4 straight garbage playoff performances from the top 3 pitchers in the AL.

 

Has anyone here listened to The Infinite Inning podcast? It's beyond good. It rivals peak Ben and Sam from Effectively Wild.

 

Bauer starting game 4. Doubt he'll repeat his performance.

 

He only pitched against us twice. 1-1. Both games he pitched 6 1/3 but the last outing he gave up 3 home runs (4 runs total - 3ER) but his first start against us he only gave up 1 ER

 

I thought the Indians hitters looked silly last night. There weren't more than a handful of good at-bats. Tanaka's splitter was unhittable, but the Indians kept chasing it and weren't coming close to hitting it. I thought Girardi did the Indians a favor by taking him out before the 8th inning. Really don't know why Tito burned Lonnie to pinch-hit for Perez. It did two things, it forced the Yanks to go to Chapman (who owns us) AND you lose Lonnie for Gomes and didn't save a pinch hitter for who you really needed to pinch hit for: Urshela.

I'm still trying to get over Judge robbing that 2-run homerun by Lindor. I thought that was the obvious turning point of the night. I really, really hope it doesn't turn into the turning point of the series.

Still like our chances with Bauer going tonight and Kluber for potential Game 5. I highly doubt Bauer will be as dominant as he was on Thursday, but wouldn't be surprised if Tito turns the game into a bullpen game starting in the 4th or 5th inning.

Also, really hope they get the game in today. From what I'm reading/hearing, sounds like it'll get postponed.

 

Yeah I'm thinking it will become a pitch by committee type of night, I just hope the game doesn't get out of hand before we get there. Very nervous for tonight. I always am though.

 

Tanaka was rolling with the splitter last night. Definitely giving him props for that performance. Would have been nice to score Kipnis on third. It also would have been interesting if someone with better speed hit that ball. Yankees took care of business. Hopefully the Tribe can close it out today if they are able to get the game in.

 

According to the site below, the game has a "zero percent chance' of being postponed.

What do you think Chapman’s availability is for tonight? In an elimination game, I’d think that he may pitch. Probably not 30-35 pitches though.

 

My guess is that he will be available, but that they will try to avoid using him if possible. You have Green and Betances ready to go and can also use Robertson.

 

Yeah, if I'm the Yankees, EVERYONE is available in an elimination game.

 

I know. 3 hr in a game isn't ideal obviously but they were all solo at least. Seemed like no Yankee got Ramirez out during the season lol. 2.70 era and 18 so in 13 innings is still pretty respectable.

 

Jesus H Christ, no, no, no, please no

Phillies considering Ruben Amaro Jr. as manager?

 

No Beltran, that’s a good move

Please just don’t use liriano or gregerson either

 

I'm pretty nervous for tonight, to be honest. This series is a blown HBP call away from Yankees being up 2-1 and I'm not sure how much faith I have in Kluber considering the Yanks just drilled him out of the game in 2 innings on Friday. I'm sure the Yankees would feel pretty confident going up against him again.

I still think we win tonight and get it over with, but I'm really nervous.

 

Have faith in the land my friend.

 

I think people just like to keep it at "Believeland."

 

Predictions for today:

Red Sox win 5-4
Nats win 5-2
Yankees win 7-6
Diamondbacks win 4-1

 

Fixed

 

Moreland didn’t swing, not even close.

 

announcers sound agitated when the Astros score

sucks

 

Are we listening to the same broadcast?

 

good call

Altuve has such a great eye

 

I better see no slander for joe Davis if he is calling this.

He is a treasure.
