After this game, I've suddenly lost much of my confidence about those 4 games in the Bronx. I'm thinking now that the Wild Card is indeed our single goal. And that will probably a barn burner between 4-5 teams
NO SALE: no buyer either. And you can't use a 150 million dollar pitcher in relief. We either assume that he'll adjust and be ok, or we're once again, in deep trouble with a bad contract... one that hasn't even begun yet.
Wow!! Now that's Breaking News! 2 for one. I don't know which is more startling to me. But I'm sure glad the Yanks aint getting Stroman. As to Bauer, I'd suspend him.
We have no closer. So, Cora just plays his hunches according to the situation. Until we settle on one, this current no-closer deal will continue... possibly to the end of the season, if no obvious closer is here by next wed.
I suspect the Mets will not move Wheeler if they can trade Syndegaard, which I'm quite sure they will do. He's got two more years of team control, so I suspect Houston will not pass this up.
Why would Smith be available??
Of course, these Yankee starters are partly responsible for the Yanks 29+ record. And they don't have to face hot Sox bats every day. But come playoff time... that's our opening.
