10/9 ALDS Game 4 at NY

[Slasher9]

So when Sale starts game 1 of the ALCS we can call it a bullpen game...

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora dodged a bullet.

 

 

Still, no excuse for not pinch hitting Vaz with Holt. Completely makes no sense.

[Maxbialystock]

Even if this works, it's dumb.

Why is it dumb when it worked perfectly? Win this, and Sale doesn’t start until Saturday, 8 days after his last start.

 

So far Cora has been letter perfect in the ALDS.

That was bad.

[Slasher9]

Yankees just stopped hitting. Started near the end of game 2.

 

Or you can give credit to Boston pitchers.

But respect for coming to the GT

[redsoxrules]

Yankees just stopped hitting. Started near the end of game 2.

 

Yeah because the Sox pitching performance

Because the potential reward wasn't worth the risk.

Not PHing holt for vaz was negligent.

Ichiro with the Yankees always seemed wrong to me. And on your topic, the fact that McCutchen's career is already winding down is sad. He was electric, but he seemed to decline out of nowhere.

 

Yeah, I agree completely. Ichiro in a Yankee uniform was just so weird. I've always a big fan of the guys who play the game the right way, and seem like genuinely good people off the field, which is why I hate seeing those guys in Yankees jerseys, they are actually hard to hate lol.

 

Another guy I liked before he was a Yankee and hated to see him go there, and even though it wasn't the end of his career was Curtis Granderson.

[Maxbialystock]

Still, no excuse for not pinch hitting Vaz with Holt. Completely makes no sense.

 

I’ll give the best excuse possible. He’s been great behind the plate tonight which is a big reason we are winning. Why change catchers when you don’t need to?

[Slasher9]

Btw...I’m going to give credit to price. He came back to the dugout to watch the rest of the game after he s*** on the mound. CC is nowhere to be found on The Yankees bench.

[bmattioli]

My worst to see go to them was Boggs, I loved him growing up and always wore 26..

[Maxbialystock]

Not PHing holt for vaz was negligent.

 

 

Nope. Vazquez has been great behind the plate. See what the Yankees have scored? He helped make that possible. Why change catchers when you don’t need to?

Nooooooo heeee’s aaaaaaaa roooooookieeeeee

[S5Dewey]

It's not like you or I am going behind the plate. Leon is probably as good as Vaz.

 

If he's not going to do that why are we carrying three catchers?

[TylerD]

Well here we go! This is it!

[Jasonbay44]

Btw...I’m going to give credit to price. He came back to the dugout to watch the rest of the game after he s*** on the mound. CC is nowhere to be found on The Yankees bench.

 

Price is a great teammate and good for the clubhouse, that is something no one can take away from Price. Same with Nunez, and some of the other guys who are s*** on a lot.

[mvp 78]

Hit up the buffet while the lines are short.

[RedSoxNC84]

3 more outs

[Slasher9]

Nope. Vazquez has been great behind the plate. See what the Yankees have scored? He helped make that possible. Why change catchers when you don’t need to?

 

2 reasons.

We have a gold glove catcher on the bench that is sales catcher

The potential run was worth whatever perceived risk by swapping in Leon for Vaz

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's right up there with my dog ate my homework.

[a700hitter]

Just get 3 outs before giving up 3 runs.

[jacksonianmarch]

We are a year too early and too right handed.

[d-money]

Si is kimbrel closing the game? He better throw strikes!

[StephenCurry30]

red sox have a great group of guys. is there honestly anyone on this team who we find to be douche and don't like? we don't really have a john lackey or carl Crawford right now.

[Maxbialystock]

Because the potential reward wasn't worth the risk.

 

What risk? That his shoulder would go bad? Better to find that out tonight than the first inning Saturday. This inning was great for his confidence and it helped the team. I saw no downside.

[a700hitter]

Nope. Vazquez has been great behind the plate. See what the Yankees have scored? He helped make that possible. Why change catchers when you don’t need to?

Then don't carry 3 catchers.

[illinoisredsox]

He also has 3 hits in these 2 games, including the homer tonight. Plus I’m guessing Holt goes in for Pearce for D right now.

[d-money]

We are a year too early and too right handed.

 

Lol making excuses already. This division won’t be any easier next year. The rays will get better,

[Jasonbay44]

Then don't carry 3 catchers.

 

This. There is no reason to have three catchers if we don't PH for one in that situation.
