Yankees-Twins Wild Card game

[jacksonianmarch]

Ball 4 baby!!

[OH FOY]

Baes loaded walk. WoW! I think its over now.

[jacksonianmarch]

This is the power of the Yankees pen. We can literally get nothing out of our starter and we can put a pen game together to win. We aren’t even looking to use Betances or Warren here

[OH FOY]

That kid Green really impresses me.

[OH FOY]

I've seen 90% of the Twin players playing tonight, in New Britain. Not there anymore, but they got some young arms coming too. Give them credit.

[jacksonianmarch]

I give them credit, but you also need to see the mastery of this pen. 8IP 1ER

[OH FOY]

Mauer took pictures with my Grand-children. Nice kid.

[OH FOY]

AL EAST will be trouble in Play-offs. Somebody is going down either Astros or Guardians....Watch! Maybe both!

[TylerD]

Hats off to the Yanks. Might give Cleveland a decent series. Who knows

[bkzwhitestrican]

That was so dope

[Spudboy]

That kid Green really impresses me.

 

Me too.

[Spudboy]

In case some have not noticed, the Yankees are a formidable team.

 

They will be tough going forward as we lurch toward the cliff.

52 pitches for DRob...wow, that is a ton of pitches for a reliever.

[jacksonianmarch]

DRob is probably cooked for game 1. Probably Kahnle as well. The Yankees won yesterday without even using Warren or Betances.

 

Also, with Severino’s short start, he might be able to go games 2 and 5 vs CLE. Those two are actually regular rest, hence why Kluber is going 2 and 5. What a day. We saw how dangerous that pen can be. Green, KRob, Kahnle, Chapman. 8.1IP 1ER against a hot offense.

[moonslav59]

Kluber is going game 2 (and 5, if needed) NOT game 1.

[Bellhorn04]

DRob is probably cooked for game 1.

 

52 pitches, 3 + innings - under normal circumstances he probably wouldn't even be available Friday. But Girardi may be seeing things differently.

[jacksonianmarch]

With this pen, every game becomes a potential victory. But we have to bring the bats vs Bauer. We need to set the tone in game 1. Whomever starts needs to be ready from the getgo. Nothing left in the tank, go all out. You can go 4 scoreless and be cooked and that’s fine.

[OH FOY]

Wonder if Francona is getting too cute on starting Bauer. He doesn't impress me.

[jacksonianmarch]

He’s keeping Kluber on regular rest.

[Station 13]

He’s keeping Kluber on regular rest.

 

WTF does that mean. Guardians clinch a long time ago and they used him on Saturday? Isn't the damn entire point is having your ace begin game 1.

[Bellhorn04]

They hadn't clinched the best record and home field if they play Houston though.

[Station 13]

They hadn't clinched the best record and home field if they play Houston though.

 

Kluber is on regular rest right now. Why wouldn't he be ready for game 1?

[Bellhorn04]

Kluber is on regular rest right now. Why wouldn't he be ready for game 1?

 

You're right. I'm a little surprised about it too.

[Station 13]

Unless Tito is saving him up for a potential Tanaka match up, there would be no excuse to begin a series with anything less than your ace. And isn't Carassco or whatever his name is better than Bauer?

[Carpin]

52 pitches, 3 + innings - under normal circumstances he probably wouldn't even be available Friday. But Girardi may be seeing things differently.

 

Hope his decision to use him for that long last night doesn't have long term repercussions, he might be cooked for next year

 

Girardi seriously overused him, I hope DRob doesn't develop arm problems in the near future

[Kimmi]

Kluber is on regular rest right now. Why wouldn't he be ready for game 1?

 

Francona wants to Kluber to pitch on regular rest in Game 5, if necessary.

[Kimmi]

Well, I had a sliver of hope that the Twins might be able to win that game after they scored 3 in the top of the first. That sliver disappeared as soon as Santana walked Gardner to lead off the bottom of the first.

Of course. Too much to hope they could hold a three-spot.
