Man I wish Lukes was 26. Would be such a nice five year piece. -
I guess at this point they are just down there as a bluff... Or for extra innings
-
Thank you Austin Wells

Omg this is nuts
-
I would almost let him face Judge if he's throwing well. Just so Judge gets a completely different look. Nibble and walk him if you need to
-
Good luck then bad luck
-
Sounds like Yesavage might actually be the secret weapon tonight. And why they pulled him at 70+ pitches. I would guess they only burn him today if the circumstances dictate. Something like, late lead and for whatever reason all the trustworthy relievers are spent.
-
Everybody thinks the Yankees have a huge pitching advantage tonight. I am sorry but did you ever take statistics? These two are about as even as it gets. This is straight from MLB official website.
-
Barger 4th is interesting. He doesn't really deserve it. HOWEVER they might have a matchup idea. Maybe they like his chances of jumping a Schlittler fastball more than those of Varsho and Santander (who I could see just getting destroyed by high velo up)
-
Varland 1.1 IP Lauer 2.2 IP all we need
-
Lauer is a better matchup for NYY than Scherzer IMO. Lauer behind an opener is objectively a better option than trying to get innings out of Scherzer or Berrios. Probably also Bassitt, but he might have been hurt and not an option anyway. Whether it works or not is a different question. We are talking about picking your favourite dildo, here. Odds are they all hurt, just differently.

Last night was SO ANNOYING!!!! wind f***ed Barger IKF sucks how did Judge even hit that why did it stay fair? wind f***ed Santander? Or he just sucks was it two solid liners right at Judge?
-
I know it doesn't seem like it today, but the bullpen game is STILL probably a better idea than just rolling out Scherzer, Bassitt, Berrios, or Lauer as a traditional SP. Even if Bassitt was on the roster and starting, the correct thing to do is probably to remove him once he starts letting anybody get on base after the first two innings. So it's a bullpen game anyway.
-
Gausman has a history of being bad on short rest, or being better with lots of rest. Not the guy I would throw on short rest at all.
-
Series odds: Toronto 65% New York 35%
-
I still feel good. Not expecting to win tonight, but there is always a 30% chance in baseball. Game 5 Toronto would have the edge. Rogers Centre. A good SP going.
-
He was a spin doctor before he got hurt. Now his breaking balls aren't even there. It's not Shane Bieber.
-
They made this plan to use Varland as the opener in game 4 before the series started, and they haven't given themselves any other options on the roster, really (other than Lauer as a normal starter). It's definitely suspect after what happened last night and the Yankees are going to be swinging for the fences.
-
I think they wanted to leave Santander in for one more PA. Making a defensive swap for Straw in the 3rd would have been a bit bold. They should have done it. By the time Santander got that extra PA (the 5th) the game was tied. 6-1 with a 90% win probability, should have went all defense from then on even if it was the 3rd inning.
-
I guess there is that remote possibility that Lauer fools them, crafty lefty style, for 3+ innings in the middle of the game and that is a difference maker. Cannot start Santander or IKF, that s*** was embarrassing. Barger I don't blame much for that missed catch.
-
Hard to see Toronto winning today unless Cam Schlitts his pants. Bullpen game and New York has seen every reliever, recently, some multiple times. If the Jays win it will need to be like 9-7 lol
-
timeout so we can all read this sentence out of context
-
Yes they all project to suck tbh so just go with the infield D
