  • Unload anyone/everyone in a 1 gamer and then worry about the BoSox
    This is what I am getting at. Can't plan for anything if it won't happen if you don't win
    Game 1 = Game 7.  Gotta throw the kitchen sink at it and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.
    With that lineup the Yankees can beat any team if they get hot - it does not matter if their SPs are great.  Not saying it is likely, but it is a possibility that they just hammer their way through opponents
    It's what they did last year.  Stay in the game and let the bats bat.
    If the bats fail you need pitching to help then.

    We will see what happens here is a few days.

    So I say start Tanaka, is everyone else on board with starting Happ?
  • I thought Severino was the ace?
    I think you start your best, whomever that is.  Haven't been watching them closely as of late.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    You have to treat the wild card game like game 7 in the world series.  Use anyone and everyone.

    Yankees tie the Mariners home run record. And that's with both Judge and Sanchez missing over month each.

    Without the wild card game the Yankees are in the alds. 

    I think the yanks can beat you guys, not saying they will, but they can. But they could also easily get beat by the A’s

    Oh, I agree with you on beating the Sox. They’re rising and not peaked yet. They played through the slump. My money is on the Yankees in a one game series at home and you have to like their odds in a 5 game series. And I do think the Sox pitching is spent. Not the way you want to go into the playoffs and all the pressure is on them.

    That's baseball now. They'll take a low average and high strikeouts if you can hit homeruns. And it's not an idiotic stat. It's just saying that high pct of his hits are for extra base hits.  It's a minimum of 300 PA. If it was 30 PA then it wouldn't mean anything. He also missed a month at least and is 12 away from 30 hr.

    The only player that I can recall that made a career out of this "baseball now" hit a HR or strike out was Kingman.  No one else had longevity.  So if this is the new norm I don't see a bunch of players lasting.

    Also players have a lot of SO's but they also are hitting for average.  Players like Renfroe, Schwarber and Calhoun won't be around much longer.  Eventually you need to get on base and manufacture runs unless you're the Yankees.  That team was amazing this year with their HR's...

    Why do you think teams aren't able to hit with the bases loaded anymore? They're all trying to hit homers

    Get past the one game and anything can happen.  This one game makes me nervous but that stadium is gonna be wild and this team can hit.

    I want to play Boston so badly.

    The A's bullpenning this game is making me nervous.  Not a huge fan of these guys not getting multiple at bats against a pitcher.

    It's the new "metrics" and analysis of the game now.  The Yanks can do it too with starting pitcher, Betances and Chapman.  You cann throw Justus in the mix too.  No one has really seen him yet?  He is supposed to be a big arm.

    The Yanks can, and I expect them to have an incredibly short leash on whoever starts, just makes me nervous for the Yanks bats. 

    Sheffiled I guess could make this roster for the one game just because they don't need all the starters, but if he pitches, the Yanks are in big big trouble.
