get those arms more rest in the pen. They still need to recover from the Twins game and then into extras on Friday.
I disagree. Bauer is going tonight on 3 days rest. Advantage Yanks. We don't want a rainout.
Either way there are advantages and disadvantages. You want to strike Bauer when he is working on a short rest, but at the same time the Yankees pen has been overused and could use the extra day of rest. I'm still pissed about Game-2, the series should be 2-1 Yanks.
something is not right with Kluber and he doesn't trust him in a game 5. That combined with the lost of Encarnacion has him skeptical of a victorious 5 game series. It's the right move though, the underdog with momentum in a final game is dangerous. He really needed that win last night. He was probably going to ride Miller to the 9th but Bird's hr forced him punt to today. I love watching Francona manage. He's the best in the game by far.
On another note - the Yankees have scored a total of 1 run in this series not via the hr.
But Greg Bird is starting to become that clutch hitter every team hungers for. Hopefully he can stay healthy and carry that through a long Yankees career

Bird is a very different type of hitter from Judge and Sanchez but he could be as good as either of them with his approach and a good stretch of time avoiding injuries
Bird's talented and disciplined enough to hit good pitching.
You can see why the Yankees evaluated him as their best hitting prospect. He may lack the "wow" factor of Sanchez and Judge, but I think I'd rather have Bird in the box in a do-or-die at-bat. All three of them are stars.
How's it looking fellas? Forecast on my weather app seems to indicate the game should get played without much interence. 30% chance of scattered showers. Anyone near the city have any different info?
for the next 5 hours, seems to say that nothing more than the occasional sprinkle should happen. It's been rainy here all day, but never anything more than a light shower, and it's supposed to lighten up as we approach gametime.
Great point!

Me too. When you have momentum you want to play ASAP.

Bauer pitched the game of his life. He's not repeating that. The Yankees can't win if their pen is not rested.
I'd rather face Bauer on short rest.
If it means starting later and ending later, uninterrupted - perfect.
I was at last night's game and the place was on fire - I'd like to see some more of that tonight.
I am hitching my hopes to Bauer not being able to pitch that way again, but also Sevvy can't pitch that way again either. Yanks win, 5-2!!

CC over Gray - interesting...
I'm about half hour away from catching the subway up to YS. I can taste the Budweiser already.
