  1. Game over- Yanks win.
  2. Just curious why you are so down on any chance of us winning, yet so optimistic about the Yanks. Not throwing stones, but just curious...
  3. The ledge was empty, not long ago.
  4. Rays just left a man on base with 1 out. Still 0-0 in the 8th.
  5. Travis freakin' Shaw in the biggest moment of his life.
  6. We can score 5 runs easier than our pen not letting up one more.
  7. Pivetta is a pretty decent and low cost 5/6 starter. The others, I agree.
  8. Excuse me for having a different opinion. Our defense has sucked, all year. To me, it is fitting that one major reason we just let up 3 runs to a s***** team was due to poor defense. Go ahead and forget this team. I enjoyed the season, and after 162 games, we will still be playing. That memory will not go away.
  9. Is there a single poster who would give Richards the $10M option? I think everyone wants to give him the $1.5M buy out he did not earn and say good bye.
  10. It's a fitting way to end the last game of the regular season. It's who we are.
  11. The game is far from over, but it does not look good..
  12. I don't blame him, either. I think he may be at or very near 100% by opening day, 2022.
  13. As scary as Sale looked, he did have 7Ks in 7 outs. I find Sawamura and Richards way more scary.
  14. I think the exact opposite.
  15. That's a great reason.
  16. 6 Ks, 2 "contacts", losing 1-0.
  17. Trouble in the big city... https://yanksgoyard.com/2021/10/02/yankees-chants-fire-boone-gleyber-torres/?a_aid=01234&fbclid=IwAR3OyF_CgzKBIWlKldJgcHQjaR80_tGlghAiSt_RH2tp3kpizO3TUpxz6Nw
  18. It was not an elimination game. Sale is probably the last of our starters ready to try going short rest with. I'm not babying Sale. The system in place is babying all starters. I never said I support the plan, but I'm not for making a radical change to a pitcher's routine at such a critical time in the season. In an elimination game, sure- you throw caution to the wind. Yes, it's just my opinion, and you have yours, but I think you are wrong to think Sale is stronger, right now, than before the surgery. It takes time to build back strength and durability/stamina. You can complain that they have babied him up to this point, but the fact is they did, so you should not suddenly mess him up by asking something of him way out of the ordinary. Yes, just my opinion.
  19. I think the Rays would rather play anyone than the Yanks, and they have some rest days before their first playoff game, so I think they will come to play, today. The lack of pressure on the Nats is one thing that worries me. Being looser at a time like this might be an advantage. That being said, I like our chances better than anyone else, before game 162.
  20. Yes, you did, and more and more people are seeing that as the best possible option. We need a closer, next year. We have a limited budget, and good FA closers are very expensive. We want to avoid trading young players for anyone, maybe more so for an established closer. We have a young, inexpensive pitcher who might lack the pitching repertoire to be a great starter. Makes sense.
  21. I never said you were the only one for firing Cora. You might be one of the very few that double down on that position, as some others are just lashing out in a moment of frustration. I'm fine with pitchers going on short rest, and I agree that starters are being babied, too much, but I don't think choosing a time like yesterday to suddenly change the philosophy was appropriate, and if it was to be done, it would be better with someone like Eovaldi or ERod and not a guy that hardly pitched since mid 2018, and has been given extra rest in 6 of his 8 starts, so far, this year. Yes, that's just an opion and not a statement or fact or proclamation of a crystal ball reading, but I think my position has merit. What makes you think choosing Sale and yesterday was the exact time Cora needed to deviate from a system that has been in place for years? By starting Sale on Saturday, it would also pretty much force going with Eovaldi, today on short rest, too.
  22. Trusting Eovaldi might be one reason he could be used, today in relief.
