To see life at the plate from Wells and Chisholm tonight.
Let’s take a stranglehold of this series.

Cousin was able to score last minute tixs. Good for him. I think a Yankees-Mets WS would be cool.
Come on vintage Cole  
Stu11 : 6:40 pm : link
And let's put our foot down on their throats. We always win game one at YS and then let up game two. We need the early 2 or 3 run hit. Bibee has been good a lot of the year but he'll have a very short leash. We're not gonna get the chance to string together one of those rallies with a lot of walks and a single here or there. Vogt is gonna have a short leash before he runs all his quality relievers out there one after the other.
Strike early, strike hard, no mercy!  
BH28 : 6:44 pm : link
Bibee hasn't faced the line-up the third time through in his starts as Vogt has leveraged the pen.

So the key will be to jump on them early to neutralize the pen. No more leaving 4 baserunners stranded early crap.
I want to watch Cole do his thing  
RasputinPrime : 6:54 pm : link
and watch the rest of the lineup find their groove. Let's go!
Can't wait

Would love to see the regular season version of Aaron Judge
Thanks for starting a game thread  
Jim in Tampa : 7:27 pm : link
I like to read it the morning after the game and was surprised that no one bothered to start a thread for Game 1 of the ALCS.
I have not followed Cleveland at all this year,  
Mike from SI : 7:27 pm : link
so take this with the hugest grain of salt ever, but Manzardo over someone like Fry seems odd to me.
I hate that TBS

The Yankees vs. Mets 2000 World Series was one of the lowest rated World Series of that era, as the rest of the country was far less interested in an all NY series.

After last year's Arizona vs. Texas snooze-fest, the absolute best WS matchup for the good of the game is Yankees vs. Dodgers.

It would be but it wouldn’t be cool on the wallets. Saw today WS standing room tix at Yankee Stadium were just a hair under $700 a piece! 400 section close to $900!

If it was a Subway Series the secondary market will be insane.
Torres

with a leadoff double. Nice

Why wasn't that an infield fly

1-0 Yankees

IFR was first thing I thought too.
Wells and Chisolm

are practically useless right now. Another two runners left on base with no outs.
Also, what is with Chislom and the

rubbing his eyes every pitch. He's not getting extended time...

Oddly, I have faith in both of them coming around. Wells looks to be chasing a bit, but earlier in the season had a very good eye. Hopefully someone can get him to stop pressing / chill a bit.

Wells is killing them as the fake ass clean up hitter, but Judge is screwing them the worst. Can’t waste all these RISP chances and expect to keep licking your way into enough runs to win
Not hitting with RISP  
Costy16 : 8:06 pm : link
0-7 last night. Another inning wasted here.

Move him down in the lineup and put Stanton 4th.
Not ideal but 27 pitches is a decent consolation  
UConn4523 : 8:09 pm : link
just wear down the SP and get to the hopefully strained bullpen.

Really stepping up
The last time a team walked Soto for Judge

Bye bye Bibee
