I loved having that power bat in the lineup, even if he was striking out half the time. The outfield cupboard is pretty bare. Hope Hicks can come back soon.
yeah, but the K's were too much of a liability.
Does that mean Sanchez, in the finest traditions of the Yankees v. Cubs, will call his shot, too?
He'll do it this year in the World Series.
Did you get Kaiser's permission to post in this thread?
If Kaiser hasn't cleared you, you'll need a note from Cali.
That would work.
Seven games left with Boston, four with Toronto, and three each with Tampa and Baltimore. Probably need to go at least 11-6. A tough road, but not impossible.
we will let him in, but chances are he will end up with his tooth missing and a tysonesque face tattoo.
That game pissed me off, but I still believe. Every time this team looks ready to go down, they bounce back.
wow, you're really going out on a limb
I've seen every top closer, including Rivera, experience a rough stretch at one time or another. As Yankee fans, we've also been spoiled by what we've seen from our late inning guys over the years. Take a good look around baseball and you'll see a lot of teams struggling to close out games.
castro catches that, the inning is over. for even with that drunks double, betances goes to 1st instead of his 20" high shotput to Sanchez and its the 3rd out.
maybe, im sure the weight of closing in a playoff race is something that nobody really counted on, but hes done pretty good. id say after this audition, he gets the job for real next year.
I knew that TO game was his 3rd night in a row, maybe JG just needed to find out where that line was.
Girardi was managing like it was a game 7, which is his M.O. And as Kaiser said above, if Castro makes that play, everything is different. Still no guarantee they win, but Betances is likely out of the inning.I'm sure there's quite a difference between pitching the 7th with Miller and Chapman behind you, and closing the ninth regularly with only September call-ups behind you.
