Yankees 2022 playoff thread

[notin]

Congratulations, Yankee fans. You had to sweat that series out a bit. The ALCS could be a beauty.

And the World Series will be seeds 1 or 2 vs 5 or 6….

Yankees should send Tito some Christmas gift cards. My goodness boone outmanaged francona these last two games.

How did he outmanage him in game 5? By remembering Gerrit Cole was on his roster?

The ALCS could be a beauty but we are already behind the 8 ball. Taillon is a good middle of the rotation starter, but he now has to start twice instead of once. Also, the ALCS schedule is total bullshit. Its 2 games, one day off, 5 straight. Thankfully game 3 starter is Cole and if there is anyone I trust on 3 days rest, it is him. Should go..

Game 1 Taillon
Game 2 Sevy
Game 3 Cole
Game 4 Cortes
Game 5 Taillon
Game 6 Sevy
Game 7 Cole on 3 days rest

I thought he should hace left quantrill in the 6th when he was finding a groove. Instead he took him out and put Morgan who gave up that extra run.

Taillon looks terrible

[jacksonianmarch]

Montgomery who??

[jacksonianmarch]

Please pull Taillon.

Josh Donaldson sucks

Josh Donaldson sucks

The opposite of Rizzo.

Boone is really making some head scratching moves. German not being used but Schmidt coming in all the time makes no sense. I like Schmidt, but he’s been scuffling in the POs due to inconsistency of his best pitch (slider). Donaldson is a no power auto out. Cabrera has more upside. Astros clearly did their homework on Carp. As he didn’t have a rehab assignment, he’s rusty and literally isn’t seeing the breaking ball. No point in starting him.

The game was 1-1 in the 6th. Your pen is mildly tired but still could go inning by inning. No reason to try and get more innings out of the scuffling kid. Should have gone to Trivino in the 6th and take it inning by inning. Really shitty loss. We had verlander on the ropes and let him off by having nothing after Stanton

All or nothing offenses don't typically go far into October, when really good pitching usually beats really good hitting. Yanks have scored 82% of their playoff runs on homers (18-for-22), just ahead of the Stros' 76% (13-for-17). Who has the better staffs? Houston hasn't even thrown Javier or Urquidy yet, and both are postseason battle-tested...

Conversely, the NL finalists are much better balanced offensively: Pads have scored 35% on HRs (14-39), Phils 33% (13-39).

German has a 6.23 ERA in a SSS 21.2 IP vs. the Stros, with 6 dingers allowed.

I think Boone has good reason for being shy about him.

Maybe, didn't realize that

Sometimes, just sometimes, managers do know more than we do.

They had Verlander on the ropes ? I think I missed that part. It must have happened between all the strikeouts.
