Let's go Sevy!

We need a first half 2018 type of effort. Hope he has it in him, with help from the shadows.

Biggest Yankee game in a long long time.

Let's Fucking Go.

Absolutely massive. Have to fucking win.

Let's go, Yanks.
Surprised

Maybin is out of the lineup. He’s 4-9 vs Cole career.

Yes, and we need more than a couple of innings from him too

Yep Cole is due to blow up. You can't pitch perfect forever why not today out in the Bronx Zoo?

I do. Ok great thanks
Intrigued to see  
Kyle in NY : 10/15/2019 2:52 pm : link
if we can rattle Cole a bit, pitching in a truly hostile environment, also considering his interesting history with the Yankees. Minute Maid has been friendly confines for the Astros in the postseason traditionally. But the results have been mixed on the road.
Be nice if

Game 3 is not a must win  
Bramton1 : 10/15/2019 3:28 pm : link
But if we're going to have a shot, we need to take at least 2 out of three in the Bronx. And I am not confident we could go back to back in Games 4 and 5.
Roll Call

Every game is winnable and I see no reason to believe we can't win out one game at a time. Let's start tonight.
This isnt the Rays lineup  
Br00klyn : 10/15/2019 3:32 pm : link
its not gonna be as easy as its been for Cole. Have a feeling were gonna put some runs up early against him. Sevy needs to get through at least 5 today
You guys have talked  
dune69 : 10/15/2019 3:47 pm : link
this all out in the past 24 hours and I've read every thread. Great job.

Now let's go win a f*&k'n baseball game!!!!!
How the fuck..

can we win when we're facing the best pitcher in MLB history???

Hurt again. Another player with a mega contract that can't stay healthy enough to play. What a waste.

He has to lose sometime. Might as well be today. Remember, Brady was 18-0 and the unbeatable Patriots lost to the 11-7 Giants. This is not that big of a difference...

Meantime, I'll be signing off until after the game or when the Yanks get up 8-0.
I've got some healthy butterflies for this one

Cheers to that and I hope we do get a positive thread. It's the friggin ALCS and we should all be enjoying this. Save the moaning and groaning for an off season thread.

GO YANKEES!
Sevy and the Pen...  
Jim in Tampa : 10/15/2019 4:09 pm : link
Just have to play Cole even and then get to the Houston pen.

(It should have worked against Verlander;>)

Yup.

He's 18-0 in his last 24 starts so that tells me 25% of the time he hasn't won.
worst thing possible to start.

Crowds out of it now. 1 run feels like a mountain against Cole...
Gerrit Cole spurned the Yankees 11 years ago, now he’ll face them  
Stan in LA : 10/15/2019 4:12 pm : link
Quote:
The day the 2008 MLB draft started, Gerrit Cole, one of the best high school pitchers in the country, went golfing with his friends. He had a fastball that touched the high 90s and all the makings of a front-line starter, but he did not expect to be selected early.

Leading up to the draft, Cole and his handlers had informed every team that he intended to go to UCLA. Scott Boras, Cole’s advisor, had told teams it’d take a “substantial bonus” for him to sign. From what Cole’s camp had been hearing, that message had scared most teams away.

Then the New York Yankees called. Cole’s favorite team had taken him in the first round, No. 28 overall. Cole called his pitching coach, Zak Doan.

“I just remember him screaming, going, ‘What the heck!’ Doan said. “We were all shocked they picked him.”

After much discussion, the Coles decided Gerrit would attend UCLA. He would learn under coach John Savage, work toward a college degree and still be only 20 years old for the 2011 draft. Mark even took out a sizable insurance policy to protect Gerrit in case of injury while in college.

The Coles had been holding firm in that decision until the Yankees called.

“I thought the pick deserved some serious thought,” Gerrit said. “We kind of reevaluated the process after that happened.”

One factor: Gerrit had grown up a huge Yankees fan, with a Derek Jeter poster on his bedroom wall. He had attended Game 7 of the 2001 World Series in Arizona, clutching a sign that read, “Yankee Fan Today, Tomorrow, Forever.” He’d inherited his fandom from his father, who spent part of his childhood in upstate New York.

Ultimately, though, the Coles reached the same conclusion: Gerrit would go to college first.

“We just felt confident sticking with the plan,” he said.

Mark remembers having a conversation with the Yankees about two to three weeks before the signing deadline, and having to break the news. The team wanted to fly to California, meet the Coles, give a sales pitch.

“And I said to them, ‘Since there’s no chance that this is going to happen, Gerrit wants to go to UCLA, there’s no reason to sit down,’ ” Mark said.

He felt as if they would be unfairly leading on the Yankees by even meeting.

“There were never any discussions,” he said. “There was never a meeting. There was never a negotiation.”

Boras said the Yankees made “a very qualified offer.” But Mark maintains that the family never discussed specific dollar figures with the team. In fact, he says, the family never spoke with the Yankees after turning down that meeting.

“There was some disappointment [on the Yankees’ side],” Mark said, “because they wanted to have a chance. But the decision had already been made.”

Boras, Cole’s agent, echoed that sentiment.

“This was not about the Yankees,” he said. “It was really about what’s the best time for Gerrit to enter pro baseball.”
