Bullpen isn't an issue though.

 

[Teagz]

Yankees are squandering these opportunities 

 

[Phil The Thrill]

It's unsustainable af. 
 
The only light at the end of the tunnel is that Tanaka and I think Sabathia are going next.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Where the fuck did Luke Voit come from. He was mediocre af in St. Louis.

It's called Yankee Stadium.

 

[Teagz]

Playoff Rick Porcello!
 
This should be a treat

 

[Phil The Thrill]

It's called Yankee Stadium.

 
He hits us both at Fenway and Yankee Stadium.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Fuck. Kimbrel can't do 4 out saves to save his life.

Tanaka, Severino, Sabathia. Happ in Gm5

 

[Teagz]

That's a totally legal substance on Kimbrel's hat I'm assuming

 

[Teagz]

NY media is gonna skewer Giancarlo. Just no yankee pride.

 

[Teagz]

Revised prediction: Yankees in 4

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Called us getting at least one.

 

[Teagz]

This interviewer just asked the DH what it's like to play behind Chris Sale.
 
 
Do better

What a performance by the Braves offense in this series.

 

[catman]

Thusfar, I would say the playoffs have gone pretty much as I expected them to.  Milwaukee doesn't seem to have a lot of trouble with Colorado.  LA is doing well against the Braves.  Its too early to really tell about the Yankees/Red Sox matchup, but the Sox needed this win in the worst way.  You cannot lose a 5 run lead in the playoffs.  Cleveland needed to win Kluber's start to have much of a chance against the Astros.  I expect them to win a game at home, but only 1.  
Milwaukee could sweep the Rockies and LA could do the same with Atlanta.  The Red Sox pen scares me a lot.  They need to get more than 5.1 innings out of their starters, or leave Porcello in the bullpen and tell him to let it fly for 20-25 pitches.

 

[catman]

Jansen comes out for the 9th, after Kershaw throws only 85 pitches.  Jansen is not as good as he has been, and we'll see how he does tonight.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Red Sox fking suck

 

[Mexi]

Is Kershaw's playoff ERA under 4 now lol

They cant do that with Porcello -- he's the Game 3 starter. He went 2/3 yesterday because he doesnt start until Monday so there is some time for rest, but hes not going to be available today. If Price cant go 6 today, I'd expect Steven Wright to come in for long relief before you hand it off to Barnes and then Kimbrel (assuming we have the lead).
 
Still dont get why we removed Brazzers, or even rostered Workman...

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Wright is off the roster. He has a bum knee.

And we took out Braiser because he was pitching like complete ass.
