Chapman was activated today, for anyone who missed it.
We're pretty much back to full health now. Let's make Boston wait another day to clinch this division.
#LFG
Suck on that, motherfuckers.
Love the Hicksie.
Let them bitch. Andujar's fly to Death Valley was over the Monster in Fenway, but just an out in the Bronx.

But Price continues to not pitch inside to our righties. He’s getting what he deserves.

Yep never hear anything about all the lazy fly balls that turn into doubles and homers in their place. Plus last I checked both teams play in the same park

Exactly
First inning had me a little bit anxious but he’s looked great overall. Huge.
Just talking to my dad. He's clearly the MVP of the Yanks.
Yup. It's been a good night all around but nothing bigger than Sevy's performance. Look d to me like he picked up here he left off last time out when he was pitching well, got into trouble and was pissed to be taken out.
I thought he brought that attitude right back into this one, and seemed to have an edge to him all night. Good to see.
Might not be a bad time to get Chapman an inning tonight. Get some of that rust off.
Man, fingers crossed that he has it solved.
Sevy, Tanaka and Happ is a pretty solid post season rotation. Throw CC and Lynn as a duo in a fourth game, may not be bad.
If only Stanton could turn it around...
That'll work too.
Not a stretch at all in my book. Judge is the heart and soul of the yanks and the best player.

Judge return? May be a stretch but my confidence is higher having him back and I'm not playing.

I think this is true, also..
Then we'll have to hope for a run like last year. Tanaka and Sevy are rounding into playoff form.
While he didn't get the result last time out, Sevy has looked dominate at times in 2 straight outings.
For a while Tanaka seemed like the no-brainer seeing how good and consistent he has been lately. PBut Sevy seems to be rounding back into top form.
Matchup wise, Oakland’s reliance on the longball may favor Sevy as the better matchup.
Overall, I think I’m just a hair more comfortable with Tanaka at this stage. But it’s close.

At this point Happ has to be in the conversation too. Pitched superb for months now and was great vs. Oakland his a few weeks ago.
Assuming that the Yanks keep a 5 man rotation though the end of the season, the staff is set up so that the last three games of the season against Boston would be Happ, Sevy and Tanaka.
IF (big if) the Yanks keep that rotation, since the WC game is on Wednesday, October 3, of the big 3, only Happ would be on normal rest for the WC game.
On the other hand, if the 3 game set in Boston ends out being meaningless- or if the WC home game is set one way or the other before the last 2 games, the Yanks MIGHT play with the rotation.
Option #1- skip Sevy and Tanaka's starts (if the games are meaningless, you can start Sheffield and Adams) and make go with Tanaka in the WC game.
Option #2- skip Sevy and Tanaka's starts and have Sevy pitch the WV game.
Option #3- allow Sevy and Tanaka to make their last starts of the season against Boston and go with Happ in the WC game.
Getting him back was so, so important.
Locked and fucking loaded now. Let's sweep it up tonight and make these assholes wait another day to put up their crappy, lost banner.
