  1. IKF starting tonight over Straw, Lukes and Barger is the right call. 1. Lefties have a .209 xwOBA against Rodon's slider and he throws it A LOT against LHB. Lukes and Barger cannot hit LHP sliders. IKF at least has a .272 xBA against LHP sliders. Straw has similar numbers. 2. Bieber is a groundball pitcher. This is probably why they are prioritizing IKF's infield defense over Straw's OF defense.
  2. Agreed. If we beat the Yanks this will be a season we can look back on fondly. But the Mariners and Tigers are beatable and we will have home field advantage. Gotta get it done and get to the WS.
  3. This is a fascinating start from Bieber today. Former ace coming back from TJ pitching in a big game. His next contract could be heavily impacted by this game as well. The Yankees will probably stack the lineup with lefties but he's dominated them this year on the strength of his new change up. With the offday and the Yanks being at home, they will be as prepared as they possibly could be. Bieber has given up some loud contact this year so it will be important to keep the ball in the yard. I wouldn't mind a quick hook for him, but with tomorrow being a bullpen game will we try to push for an extra inning?
  4. Let’s hammer these a$$holes. I want Vlad launching a nuke in the first inning and I want him to pimp it so hard that the boos start raining down before he even hits first base. I want Yankees fans to watch ball after ball clank off the wall while their infield boots routine plays. Their strikeouts piling up, the scoreboard flipping like a slot machine for the visitors. And I want nine full innings of the broadcast camera glued to Aaron Boone’s face as he slowly, visibly realizes this is it. This is the night it all ends, that he’s watching his last game as Yankee manager unfold pitch by pitch. Run wild on the bases. Pound the zone. Make the plays. Break their spirit. Let’s bury these frauds. Go Jays.
  5. Jays bats will feast on this Dodgers bullpen in the World Series
  6. Ok that last point is a very good illustration lmao
  7. Fangraphs LDS Odds as of today: Jays: 85.1% - Yankees: 14.9% Mariners: 58.4% - Tigers: 41.6% Dodgers: 74.7% - Phillies: 25.3% Brewers: 67.7% - Cubs 32.3%
  8. I'm just kidding around but it's not just the Yesavage comments. He's been blasting you for your Yankee fluffing too.
  9. The Yankees are gassed. They are all at home planning their Cancun vacations. Put them out of their misery tomorrow with another blowout and let's end this thing. It's best for all parties involved.
  10. Wow, normally I feel like I'm the one who has to Sheriff the Masturbator and his poor behavior but Max is doing such a good job I no longer feel the need. Well done sir!
  11. Should have taken Yarbrough over Blackburn, if nothing more than they needed another lefty in the pen. The Jays have tons of lefty bats and the only lefty in the Yankees bullpen is Tim Hill who is mid. Luke Weaver has reverse splits so they rely on him against lefties but he sucks. But I suppose it's more of a roster construction issue more than anything. They traded for a bunch of relievers but none of them were lefties.
  12. "Hopefully Trey The Savage can settle in as a #4" is only said by a man who just got burnt by Alek Manoah lol
  13. A-Rod's quote was hilarious coping. Glad Papi called him out. Paraphrasing: "Hey, if Fried pitches well we win that game." Lmao he didn't pitch well and on top of it that's not even true.
  14. Hopefully yesterday's bullpen performance was just guys knocking off some cobwebs after not pitching for over week. I expect us to play very well tomorrow but if the Yanks pull that game out, we've got a bullpen game for Game 4. I am pretty confident in our bullpen games. We've got a deep pen with a lot of good options to mix and match throughout a game. But that requires using some of your B relievers and they shook my trust a little last night.
  15. Me on my way to my Yankee fan coworker’s office this morning to ask him how his weekend went
  16. Yeah the Jays are out for blood. This thing ain’t getting back to TO.
  17. This isn’t little league where kids are tubing 60 mph fastballs down the pipe lol Guys are throwing 98 so if an injury affects your swing it makes you ineffective
  18. Kind of digging the choices they made. Jays pitching is going to get weird this series.
  19. Yeah I had just assumed they would be going with Warren. Gil has had maybe 2 good starts all season.
  20. We are pretty balanced against both righties and lefties. our short-side platoon guys are better fielders they are also better baserunners Vlad, Springer, Kirk, etc. gain the splits advantage Barger and Lukes make for great pinch hitters against the Yanks righty-heavy pen
  21. Sadly, it won't really matter because the owner is the true GM and he's still around.
  22. The Yankees will need to play better against the Jays than they did against the Sox. The Sox aren't very good right now. They have one playoff caliber starter and are effectively going with bullpen games in their other games, with a bullpen that isn't very deep. Despite this, they took the Yanks to the brink and in Game 3 the Yanks were lucky to score the runs they did with an xBA of .185. The Jays aren't going to be booting the ball all over the field like the Sox did. With that said, the Yanks do have a good lineup, a good rotation, and a good closer. Not going to be an easy series for the Jays.
