Big hit.
This is definately a team you need insurance against

Big inning here for Britton vs the heart
Wow what was that 5 pitches?  
Stu11 : 8/25/2019 9:36 pm : link
Nice!
Now Britton  
Percy : 8/25/2019 9:36 pm : link
Sets them down with ease.
2 lefties due up in next 3  
Neckbone1333 : 8/25/2019 9:37 pm : link
Should leave Britton in right now after 3 pitches.
Sorry, 5 pitches

Yup. Had to be the easiest inning by a Yankee pitcher this year. Considering who he faced made it even more impressive for me.
Gardner!

Got to keep an eye on that guy at all times!

5-1

Yes!
Fuck yes!!!  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/25/2019 9:45 pm : link
I love this team!
So Chapman comes in  
section125 : 8/25/2019 9:53 pm : link
and throw all sliders except for ball 4?
I know I'm overly cautious  
Stu11 : 8/25/2019 9:56 pm : link
But with Chappy having not pitched in a week I'd have left one of Kahnle or Otto to back him up in case he didn't have it. I know that's nitpicky
Boom  
adamg : 8/25/2019 9:58 pm : link
series win baby. Let's keep it going tomorrow.
BIG SERIES WIN!!!!

pitching impressed me
Nice! Best thing about the weekend was the starting pitching  
Stu11 : 8/25/2019 10:00 pm : link
Where are the ass clowns who come on here and whine that we can't shut down good offenses?
He seems to lose the zone  
section125 : 8/25/2019 10:00 pm : link
after about 12 to 15 pitches, then gets it back at about 20.

So the take 2 of 3 from the Dodgers at home, but lose 3 to the As...

Bill2 was saying weird stuff happens to them on the West Coast.
German was good  
dune69 : 8/25/2019 10:01 pm : link
after the first pitch. Great series win after the fiasco in Oakland. This team is ok. Hope Didi is good to go.
Big statement series win.  
Eman11 : 8/25/2019 10:02 pm : link
Beating two of the NL's best starters and holding that lineup to five runs over the three games is one helluva great job by the Yanks.

This flushes the nightmare series in that Oakland shithole right away for me.

I love this team.

Sometimes the do, sometimes they don't.

Dodgers didn't look so hot to me. Indians and Astros are better than LAD.
German beat Kershaw

After I bashed German the other night. He proved me wrong tonight and I am glad he did.. he should be the starter game 1 of the playoffs.

Probably game 4 after Severino, Tanaka and Paxton.....
German was equal parts good and lucky.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 8/25/2019 10:25 pm : link
Gardy and Tauchman caught balls early with multiple men on that both could've ended in disaster.

The bullpen dominated the entire series. 9.1 IP, just ONE hit!
I made a mistake... they actually gave up 2 hits

That was a great win  
Marty866b : 8/25/2019 11:03 pm : link
Beat Kershaw where he WAS unbeatable. Great pitching from all four pitchers, great defense and doing what we do best, hit the long ball. Great to see this team rebound after the debacle in Oakland.

The family really enjoyed it Friday night. The kids said it was their favorite game ever live (of course my daughter bein a huge Didi fan helped). Hadn't been there since 96 and they really made improvements. The concourses/conscessions are great. They have these self serve kiosks where you order the food and pay for it yourself and then they bring it over at another window. Way faster than any stadium I've been in. They need to bring this system East. Of course the scenery and sightlines from the upper deck there are excellent. Was a great night.
Beat Ryu & Kershaw  
GruningsOnTheHill : 8/26/2019 1:16 am : link
but lose to that other rat-boy and drop 3 of 3 to Oakland?

That’s baseball, Suzyn.
Didi update  
JPinstripes : 8/26/2019 3:46 am : link
X-rays were negative, he is listed as day to day per Boone.
Adam Ottavino...

...who throws a LATER breaking curve ball than this guy? Whoa, that is one SOB pitch to try to hit!!!

Aren't we all day to day, LOL.
Good series win, they needed a Ford, not a Chevy or a Buick.
A pleasant surprise off the bench.
That curve that Kershaw hung to Judge was quite possibly
the worst curveball I have seen this season, just hit me!

As older stadiums go, I like Dodger Stadium and also
Kauffman Stadium in K.C.

I love how Twitter exploded with "WHY IS HE TAKING OTTAVINO OUT?!!" after two batters to bring Kahnle in against the lefty... and all it took was 3 pitches to understand why.

Kahnle has been fucking tremendous this year.

And what else can you even say about Ottavino. The guy throws a wiffle ball that is almost impossible to track. The delivery and release point is nearly identical; and yet the break of the ball near the plate is too hard for hitters to pick up. They have to basically just guess. Usually they guess wrong.

Great bounceback series. Guess the usual suspects who whine about the pitching won't have much to say after 3 fantastic performances in a row by the staff and bullpen. Paxton and German were both excellent - and if we get to our "A" relievers (Ottavino, Kahnle, Britton, Chapman) with a lead, good luck.

More 10pm games coming... ugh. Can't wait til we're back home.
The usual..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 8/26/2019 9:10 am : link
suspects don't grasp that the playoffs will be an effort to keep the game close or leading through 5 and then let the bullpen close the games out.

The Dodgers series should show that not only can low-scoring games happen, but that we can win them.

Just a fun team to keep watching.

I don't think Sevy is going to get a game 1 start because he will need a lot of bullpen innings behind him. Given that the minor league season only has a couple weeks left, he doesn't have time to build up a significant pitch count- he might only get 2, maybe 3 rehab starts before the minor league season and playoffs end. That MIGHT get him to 45-60 pitches- not enough to go deep into any start.

My best guess right now would be that the Yanks would use Tanaka in any game 1 as the playoff experienced SP, go to Paxton in game 2 for a sharp contrast, then go to German in game 3. Then, game 4 might be Sevy as an opener, followed by a long guy (CC?) and the bullpen arms. Just a guess, but its probably the most effective grouping.

I agree with just about all of this Rich except I think they'll want to throw German at home. I think it'll be Tanaka, German and then Paxton in game 3. Or if Paxton lights it up the rest of the way similar to how he pitched the other night I can see him flipping with Tanaka.
I can see Sevy  
UConn4523 : 8/26/2019 12:09 pm : link
being the "long reliever" after Green is the "opener". Lets Green power through the top of the lineup and lets Sevy come in and gain momentum against lesser hitters.

I actually kind of like the intrigue and unknown.
