Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 5520899, member: 2350"] Schlittler was clearly the story, it's trite to even say it. Gave them a taste of what Crochet did in game 1. Lot of small ball runs, not the Yankees SOP, but good pitching makes for good D. Not pretty but effective when it had to be. Keystone combo was very good tonight, kudos there. Getting ahead early (okay, the 4th) was calming to Schilttler (I believe). I don't think he expected easy, but they got him a lead and played well behind him. So, one hand washes the other. Well-rested pen going into Saturday should help, they had a lot of work coming down the stretch. Jays will miss Bichette and Berrios, Bassitt is erratic, Yesavage remains to be seen. Curiously, Gausman often gets little run support. I expect NYY will give Vladi nothing to hit, and he's often eager to chase. It's in the genes. They'll also want to keep Springer under control. Big thing is they have no quit in 'em. Gonna be some fun! 🙂 [/QUOTE]
