And let's put our foot down on their throats. We always win game one at YS and then let up game two. We need the early 2 or 3 run hit. Bibee has been good a lot of the year but he'll have a very short leash. We're not gonna get the chance to string together one of those rallies with a lot of walks and a single here or there. Vogt is gonna have a short leash before he runs all his quality relievers out there one after the other.
Cousin was able to score last minute tixs. Good for him. I think a Yankees-Mets WS would be cool.
The Yankees vs. Mets 2000 World Series was one of the lowest rated World Series of that era, as the rest of the country was far less interested in an all NY series.
After last year's Arizona vs. Texas snooze-fest, the absolute best WS matchup for the good of the game is Yankees vs. Dodgers.

It would be but it wouldn’t be cool on the wallets. Saw today WS standing room tix at Yankee Stadium were just a hair under $700 a piece! 400 section close to $900!
If it was a Subway Series the secondary market will be insane.
are practically useless right now. Another two runners left on base with no outs.
Oddly, I have faith in both of them coming around. Wells looks to be chasing a bit, but earlier in the season had a very good eye. Hopefully someone can get him to stop pressing / chill a bit.

Wells is killing them as the fake ass clean up hitter, but Judge is screwing them the worst. Can’t waste all these RISP chances and expect to keep licking your way into enough runs to win

talking about what they want to happen vs what is happening. So Vogt brought his 2nd best reliever. Not unusual there. Smart move. As Darling said, if it is 5-0, game virtually over vs Cole.
Getting Ramirez was huge. He is a great player.
For us all series. You fall behind to these guys and their pen it's a long night. Detroit got to them a bit in game 5 but that's because they had to pitch so much.
again. Judge did that earlier in the season - too much upper cut swing. That is what Torres does also.
Needs to wake up soon. Going to need his next 2 at bats
just is swinging up on the ball instead of through.
Someone needs to speak to Chisolm. How many times this year has he been picked off or made a bad decision. Are these guys ever given instructions in base running?
By September I didn't even get upset anymore at these fucking
Mind numbing gaffs in the bases. I came to expect it as part of watching Yankees games. But come the fuck on this is the ALCS! It's gotta stop at some point.
Yeah that infield fly drop, and the record number of passed balls last night. Some really sloppy baseball by both teams. Butyl inning by the yanks, just throwing away runs.
other than leaving Cole in 1 inning too many, Boone has been pretty fucking good this postseason about not overextending his pitchers.
it would have also been completely wrong to pull Cole after 4 innings today
he was tiring and had loaded the bases in the 4th. Playoff baseball is harder and takes more out of a pitcher. Either way good on Boone for having a short leash on Cole in the 5th.
Yeah I think Kahnle & Hamilton may have to take care of the 8th

I know he's played in more playoff games than Stanton, but they have the same number of homeruns. Yes, I realize Stanton's pace is better, but the amount of post season HRs Judge has isn't insignificant.
He un-retired for the end of the year and for the postseason run. He still likes calling games he was just sick of traveling and being forced to dress up and go to work every day, and at his age, I don't blame him.

To put some numbers to that, Judge has now hit 14 post-season HRs in 189 ABs: one every 13.5 ABs.
Mantle hit one HR every 12.8 ABs in compiling his record 18 World Series HRs, in 230 ABs.
but a couple big moments were enough. Old friend Clay Holmes was huge limiting the damage in the 5th. Volpe, Rizzo and Verdugo were 5-10 with 2 walks. Judge getting loose could be monstrous
The broadcasters aren’t slobbering George Brett’s knob…but them seem desperately eager to root for the Cleveland Whatevers. Newsflash guys - the Yankees have been to the playoffs a couple times here and there, don’t be afraid to mention it
I was thinking the same thing. He hit the ball hard four or five times that at-bat. After all the strikeouts, that leaves me hopeful. If he and Judge get hot, they are gonna score a lot of runs the way Gleyber and Soto are going.
And let’s give some credit to Gleyber, who has been the #1 target of fan complaints for a few years. He’s been great.

Torres is one of the most pleasant surprises this year. Since moving back to the leadoff spot, he has been pretty good and his fielding hasn't been as bad.
And, who would have thought 2 guys make baserunning blunders bet. 2nd and 3rd and neither was Torres?
RE: This narrative that judge can't hit in the postseason is BS.

It's not BS. First of all, it's not in comparison to Stanton, it's his overall post season performance. But, if you want to compare, Stanton hit 13 HR in 33 games and Judge hit 14 in 50 games. It's the other metrics where Judge's performance really suffers. .206 BA, .314 OBA, .455 SLG, . 769 OPS, and only 5 2b and only 29 rbi across those 50 games. It is not a good October resume.

Small sample sizes is the problem with October. Literally half of Stanton's production was that ridiculous 2020 playoff. All it takes is one hot streak in October to correct to the mean. I think you have to trust the historical stats that the more playoff ABs he gets, the more likely he will get to his historical numbers.
Pre boombox in Boston and post boombox. It’s staggering. Pre boombox he had like 7 hrs in about 50 abs, prior to this year since the boombox he was hitting like low .100’s in his last 115 AB’s or so with 6 hrs.
Yankees:
So the key will be to jump on them early to neutralize the pen. No more leaving 4 baserunners stranded early crap.

Me too, why do they do that?

Runner on 1st and 3rd

with Judge ruled out?
Runner on 1st and 3rd
Duh. I knew that. Brain fart. 1st and 2nd or bases loaded.
IFR was first thing I thought too.
Oddly, I have faith in both of them coming around. Wells looks to be chasing a bit, but earlier in the season had a very good eye. Hopefully someone can get him to stop pressing / chill a bit.

Move him down in the lineup and put Stanton 4th.
Yup and Cole looks locked in again.
knock on wood, quickly!
Judge better nut up and get a hit.
See what Rizzo does the rest of the night. But this is a good idea.
Getting Ramirez was huge. He is a great player.
Nobody. I turn off the volume
WTF was Chisolm doing?
Hope the big fella settles down.
I fear Holmes sinker here for a cheapy grounder that he sometimes gets hit with.
Hope the big fella settles down.
Cole nibbled around the plate while throwing 96-98. Really uninspiring outing.!
Darling called it. He let Gimenez goes to get to the catcher.
Needs to wake up soon. Going to need his next 2 at bats
I take it back.
Ode to Joe Judge.
Same here and hopefully Boone moves him up to cleanup next game.

Yeah, Cole can have a bad inning and then come back strong. You kind of have to him go as far as you can and then one more.

Was he wrong?
That's funny...and true

...Sterling said the Yanks ran the bases like drunks last inning, lol.

Not at all...it cracked me up.

I wouldn't mind all the porch talk as much if they didn't treat the Green Monster like a sacrosanct national treasure 99%+ of the time.
Day off, well deserved.
Two months ago who would have thought the pen would turn out to be a weapon?
