Judge was on it but on top. Didn't want him to set the record in Toronto.

Rest tomorrow and do it at home.

Not sure if you’ve paid attention, but these aren’t exactly “critical late innings”. This game means less than nothing in the standings for the Yanks. The goal is to get Schmidt right.

The Blue Jays are incredibly talented offensively but they are an absolute dumpster fire when it comes to doing the other things. They are mentally weak.

They are, and it's been a problem spanning more than just this year. Even when Montoyo was there, they had all sorts of clusterfuck issues running the bases.

They can slug with anyone in baseball but they don't do the little things and that's why they aren't a championship team.
Wow, Aroldis actually

That was actually a quality outing for Chapman. Best I've seen from him in quite some time. Toronto isn't mailing it in here, either - a win would have clinched their WC spot.

Hopefully that's something he can build off.
I think Chappy is the postseason closer

I think Boone is really just going to ride the hot hand(s) come October. If one of these guys starts nailing down saves early on, he'll probably stick with it.

But right now, I wouldn't be surprised to see anyone from Loaisiga to Effross to Peralta (when he's back), etc. in 9th innings.

We have a bit of a time luxury here where we're pretty locked into the #2 spot and not in any danger of being passed. Between the remainder of the regular season and the bye, the Yanks have a couple of weeks to try and get this figured out a bit and get some players healthy.

Sounds like LeMahieu is activated Friday, we'll see what he's got.

1-0 in the Anthony Rizzo era.

Kind of weird that Hicks fucked up on the bases  
adamg : 9/28/2022 10:39 pm : link
and ended the day with 3 hits and a walk. Very anomalous behavior out of that guy.
Good to see the team be really hot again.  
Dave in Hoboken : 9/28/2022 10:41 pm : link
The first couple of months after the All-Star break was not good at all, but this team has really picked themselves up in a big way the past month or so. I feel good about this team again. Only team in either the AL or NL that I'd be worried about is the Astros. I think if the Yanks can get to the World Series; they can win it. Dodgers would give them a run for their money and would be a great series, but outside of that, no other team in the NL or AL (outside of Houston) will stop them, IMO.

There is also something to be said for winning the best Division  
Dave in Hoboken : 9/28/2022 10:45 pm : link
in baseball this year; which was without a doubt the AL East. Not even like they had to wait until the last day of the season to win it, either. Really impressive. Get past Houston by any means necessary and they can win it all, IMO. Houston will be their toughest challenge all post-season long, and that includes IF they get to the World Series. Nothing against the Dodgers or anything, but this Astros team gives this Yankees team fits more than the Dodgers would, and certainly more than anyother team in the NL not named the Dodgers.

Hehe, always knocking on wood. Also made sure to say "IMO," which it is, just my opinion.

Guys I know we're all homers and love those Yankee teams from the 90's  
Stu11 : 9/29/2022 12:14 am : link
But maybe you can help me out. It's coming up again because of the HR record and steroids. Yankee haters always throw this out there: "well we all know those 90's Yankee teams were filled with steroid users so if you complain about Mcgwire or Bonds then it taints those championships " It always seems to go unchallenged. Who exactly are they talking about? Jeter? Bernie? Tino? O'Neill? Straw? Posada? Bernie? Mariano? Cone? Wells? Jeff Nelson? Scott Broscious? Seems to me those teams were the antithesis of big hulking sluggers. Clemens didn't come till '99 and was hardly a factor that year ( Wells was much better in '98) the only title he really factored in was 2000. Arod wasnt here till 2004. Giambi not till 2002. Pettite admitted to HGH use with the Astros and I doubt he was doing it as a young player but even if he was that's one pitcher. Hardly a team loaded with them. I don't get it, never have.
A very big day for Yankee fans. Congrats

I never heard anyone accuse the late 90's Yankees of being full of 'roiders. Later, Pettitte was with the Astros when he used. Clements and A-Rod were after.

Some guy on twitter when I asked rattled off a bunch of guys who came after Like Melky Cabrera(LOL) and Sheffield/Kevin Brown. Then said Knoblauch (Had his worst years doing roids) ,Pettite and David Justice. besides Pettite not exactly a daunting list seeing as Justice was here 1 year (2000). However I have heard people like Mad Dog Russo and others say it ad nauseum. Obviously its a Yankee hater theme, but it always seems to go unchallenged and I never got it.
As I said in the thread last night Cole has to be treated  
Stu11 : 9/29/2022 10:45 am : link
as just another SP in the playoffs. No more ace treatment/he'll work his way out of it nonsense. When Nestor or Sevi gets into trouble in the 5th or 6th they get the hook. That has to be Cole now too. Hopefully with the Pen arms getting healthy we have the depth to handle it. Not to mention you usually don't play more than 2 or 3 days at the most in a row in the playoffs any way.

He has to pitch every third day.

Too late in the season is a problem for a guy like Britton.
He needs time to get his act together. Now if it was July or August, that would make a big difference. I mean he came in with one out, got the first batter, then proceeds to walk the next two, His first appearance he walks three guys...
I know he is rusty, it just takes him a long time after a long layoff, we have seen this numerous times. I am just glad that him and Chapman will be gone next year!

I would start Nestor game 1, even if he doesn’t have his best stuff he battles. Cole has the ability to absolutely implode and lose you a game in one inning.

No doubt. That is why I think they should play him as much as he can handle. Yes it was basically the same as his 1st game. Ok for 1 batter, then lost his control. There is no penalty for trying to sort him out. He is a big add if he can be close to himself.

Get ready to be happy.

For the month of September, he has played 17 games, 10 of them in AA. Over those 17 games, he's posted a triple slash of .313/.413/.716, hitting 7 homers, knocking 18 RBI, and stealing 3 bases without being caught.

Still just 19 years old. I don't think we're going to see those "Jasson Dominguez is a bust" articles again.

Not only this, but he hit 2 HRs in the deciding game to win Somerset the title. After hitting a bomb over the CF wall in the previous game to tie the series. Stud.
