by my count the Yanks are up by 4 in the team HR race w/2 to play
At the start of September Yankees had the best record in baseball. Now 3rd as Boone has rested and skipped his starters for weeks costing games. Astros and Dodgers keep in regular turn even this week after clinching. Good bye home field advantage. Will this 3 week hangover of basically playing .500 ball carry over into ALDS?
They prioritized health and rest over two potential home games. It might not work-out, but I am okay with the approach.At the start of September Yankees had the best record in baseball.

And there was no guarantee that playing every game balls to the wall to win would have yielded a different result in the end. It's baseball, after all, and winning series as consistently as this team did for much of the season despite the injuries was pretty damn remarkable.They prioritized health and rest over two potential home games.

Thanks for your work here every year.Game #162.
Glad you're all still with us.
If we go to game 5 with the Twinkies, it’s the same night as the NC state game. Hope we get it done in 4
