German placed on administrative leave under joint domestic violence policy... not good.
Better news.. the Yankees can clinch the ALE with win #100 tonight - just as they could have last night. But, they did not, and TB won a late game against LA, so that was that.
Tampa is off tonight and the champagne is still on ice. So, let's take care of business this time.
6-1
Nobody put's Gardy in the corner. It's CF now son.
Be silly to do it, too.
They know that champagne is still on ice and the Rays aren't playing tonight. Can't let those bottles sit another night!

That's step 1.
The real work starts soon... but boy, it's been some fucking ride this regular season and this first mission has been accomplished.
LFG.
I'm sure her looks were a big part of why she was hired but she knows her stuff.
In order:
1 - get Judge back ASAP
2 - secure best record in the AL
3 - get German back before the playoffs
4 - get Encarnacion back before the playoffs

Something tells me we're not going to see German again this year...
Also, can't forget El Gary.
For comparison I think she asks much better questions and gets more respect than Suzyn who has been at it awhile.
Also treated with decent respect by Paulie and Cone which takes being a consistent worker who knows her job.

Meredith's also a good follow in Instagram...posts neat pics of different cities they visit, snippets of good moments with player interviews, and very little of the 'look at me' vanity common to so many public figures these days.

I don't care for her and I still miss Kim.
More work to be done but this is a very nice accomplishment. If Boonie isn’t MOY someone has some ‘splaining to do.
Meredith has improved and become credible in a job that's often a joke filled by a gushing personality instead of a person trying to inform viewers
Not sure the pitching is good enough to take us all the way, but what a ride it’s been to this point! Awesome.
I think if the Yanks don't sweep Toronto @ home, that will kill their chance at home field throughout.

I doubt it because it would mean the Stros have to lose 4 of their last 9. We can't end up tied with them as they have the tie breaker based on head to head so we'd have to have a better record by a game. In effect we're two games behind the best record right now.
Boy losing German is tough. German after CC looked like a winning combo. But that is/was a 4th option anyway after Paxton, Tanaka and Severino. Guess Happ will take his spot if the biceps is ok.

Astros clearly have the easier schedule, 7 against the angels two against Seattle.

Yea I think the ship on having the best record in the AL may have sailed after this 9 game stretch vs the awful Tigers/Jays/Angels(no Trout) where we went 5-4. Can't blame them. Literally in the past 10 days alone we have lost Betances/EE/Gary/German and rested Judge like 3 games. What they have done this year is amazing. Finishing 2nd in the AL may be a blessing in disguise for the ALDS if Oakland gets through the play-in game because they are a nightmare to face for with the Stros or us. They give us both fits, not to mention the travel part. I'd much rather play Minnesota and their pitching. I agree that if anyone else besides Boone get MOTY its just disgusting naked anti-Yankee bias. I mean this team is gonna win 105 games or so while literally setting an MLB record for injuries!
The Twins manager(Brian Baldinger?) will be right there and will be deserving should he win. I agree that with all these injuries Boone should win it, but BBWAA is a strange group and may not look at all the injuries as such and point to the depth of the organization.
Brian Baldinger managing the Twins would be interesting! :)

That would definitely be a scoop!
Goal one accomplished by the Yanks, moving on now to
other goals!
