    Maybe. Nobody here really knows for sure. I do firmly believe his father is in his ear making sure to give him Sage advice as a former major leaguer. Making sure he keeps perspective on what's best for him and his future as he heads into free agency. There's no structural damage apparently, no need for surgery, but playing through pain is risky, you could end up hurting yourself worse by favouring the knee with that pain. There's no way free agency is not playing on his mind. That's all I'm saying.

    That's especially expected in game 1's. Pretty much nothing but aces and rested ace relievers.

    I wonder how many casuals tuned in wondering, "how the hell is this fatass a baseball player?" And now they are all Kirk fans.

    Or maybe he sees those free agent dollars flashing before his eyes🤑

    While I don't think the Blue Jays will overthink themselves with games one and two, the only caveat I can see is do they really want to start Yesavage on the road at Yankees stadium or Fenway? They are already asking a lot of this kid, but for that to be his major league playoff debut in only his fourth big league game is really pushing it. Especially since it will either be an elimination game or the all-important swing game. I wouldn't necessarily be shocked to see Trey get game two at home and then Bieber gets the first road game. It still gives you Gausman for a potential game 5 and Bieber to start the next series. Like you said there are options, but I just don't believe they'll do the three game rest thing especially since it's probably not really necessary.

    Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday. The only way to pitch them twice is Gausman or Bieber pitch game 1 and on three days of rest for game 4. Zero chance in my mind, especially since you won't have either available for game 1 of the LCS and given the concerns they have clearly shown for adequate rest between outings for both of them. Why do that when you can roll out an effective bullpen game like you did against the Red Sox even if they don't want to start Bassitt? Lauer has been one of our best pitchers. A bullpen game with him being a bulk reliever is a perfect way to use him.

    Gausman and Bieber won't both pitch twice in a 5 game series. It would require the game one pitcher to pitch on three days rest and they are not going to do that with either one of these guys. If anything they prefer to pitch these guys with more rest, Bieber coming off of major surgery and Gausman because of velocity issues related to rest. Besides Gausman and even Bieber right now are not at the level where pitching them is any better than a bullpen game. Neither of them is a Crochet or Skubal.

    I don't think they would go this far. Bassitt's road numbers are highly skewed by two really bad games he had, one especially against Boston. It's not like he hasn't pitched well on the road at all even if he still has been a better home pitcher. I think games 1 and 2 will be exactly who we expect. I think where it gets interesting is games 3 and 4. Will they use an opener for one or both games? Will one of them be a full bullpen game? Do they trust Yesavage to be a starter or bulk guy for one of those games? What role, if any, does Scherzer play? Would you rather give more innings to Lauer over Bassitt? I personally think Yesavage starts game 3, or is the bulk guy after an opener. Game 4 is the biggest question mark to me.

    His last four postseason starts: 14.1 IP, 18H, 7ER, 6HR, 11K, 5BB, two wild pitches and a hit batter. Then of course there's his most recent struggles as his ongoing struggles with the long ball. Father time is undefeated, you're romanticizing him instead of dealing with reality.
  11. Masterbather
    f*** him, I have no interest in him. He could find another team to age poorly with.
  12. Masterbather
    I do, because it would mean that we got there and I'll take my chances from there.

    This administration finally figured out a way to not lose in the wild card round😁
  14. Masterbather
    We all knew with the softer schedule the Yankees could go on a run, and indeed the Yankees ended up winning 11 of their final 13 games to end the season.
  15. Masterbather
    With the off days I think they can use him in Games 2 and 5.
  16. Masterbather
    I'd also like to take a minute to appreciate the Mets collapse.
  17. Masterbather
    Personally, I would take my chances with Cleveland or Detroit over Boston or New York any day. How much more fun would it be if the number one seed got to choose their opponent?
  18. Masterbather
    Take whatever comes. Don't ask for anything.
  19. Masterbather
    It's annoying but what can you do? Seattle basically getting a bye into the LCS.
  20. Masterbather
    Congrats to the AL East Champions!🍾
  21. Masterbather
    Lauer getting some sugar by being the clinching pitcher.
  22. Masterbather
    Flu has proven to have some of the steelier balls on our team. Titanium balls.
  23. Masterbather
    Even better.
  24. Masterbather
    Thank you Yankees. Who knows if some of our guys would have found their rhythm had you not forced them to. Best Regards, Your friendly Northern neighbors.

    They're wasting Bednar lol To the bitter end....
