Last night felt…different…fun again. A little like those years in the old Stadium. Last year was a fun run the the Series for sure. But last night still felt different. Maybe it was the Red Sox being the victim. Maybe it was seeing managerial decisions actually work out. My guess is that it was seeing youth on the mound and a farm product that might inject youth into a pretty old rotation. Whatever it was, it was a blast.
And the crowd was in it from the get go, unlike last year. It was like the crowds of old.
They mentioned it briefly during the telecast....but I've already been salivating at the thought of a rotation next year of Cole Fried Schlittler Rodon Gil/Warren. And that doesn't even include Schmidt coming back to health at some point next year. Injuries happen, we all know that...but boy....that's a rotation.
But let's focus on this month. C'mon boys....keep the train rolling!
And kudos to Boonie for ignoring all of the analytics, trusting what anyone watching could see, and running Cam back out there in the 7th and 8th innings.
When he said to Blake that Cam was staying in right after the 7th, Blake's facial expression.....STUNNED, LOL
I swear I was going to bring that up this morning but I didn't want to jinx them and decided to wait until after the season, but you beat me to it. lol I've got a lot stored up in my mind that I can't wait to discuss. But as you said, that's for later.
I've been saving it too but damn Coney went ahead and brought it up last night so I figured it was fair game, HA
I kept thinking he reminded me of those 70s and 80s players that looked like they were 39 when their actual age was 25 LOL
Among all of the (RIGHTFUL) discussion of Cam...and McMahon's catch, etc etc etc....
Let us not forget that the 4 run inning was started by Cody Bellinger being a true BALLPLAYER and busting his *** out of the box knowing there was a chance his blooper/bleeder/texas leaguer could fall in.
Just a helluva baseball play based purely on HUSTLE

The thing with Schlittler is how effortlessly he throws 100 mph. When Chapman came in, he was throwing 100 with maximum effort. Schlittler does it so easily.
so…our rotation likely goes:
10/4 (Sat.) - Gil (at Toronto)
10/5 (Sun.) - Fried (at Toronto)
10/6 (Mon.) - Rest Day
10/7 (Tues.) - Rodón (at home)
10/8 (Wed.) - Schlittler (at home)
10/9 (Thurs.) - Rest Day
10/10 (Fri.) - Gil or Fried (at Toronto)
Have to believe that Fried throws Game 5 if the series gets there.

I guess my silver lining is that, even though Boone should have known by the way Weaver closed the regular season and by his ERA of infinity in the ALWC series against Boston, he now has to know that Weaver again in the ALDS…or the ALCS if we find our way there…or the World Series…is not an option. Weaver is done for 2025. Might as well leave him off the roster going forward.
Same thing as the regular season, can't hit a lick with the bases loaded and no outs. And why did Boone think he could get through this game with a chance to win going to the pen in the 3rd inning? lmfao
I have been critical of Weaver for some time now. I just read where the Yankees have changed his mechanics and have him trying different things while on the mound. WTF? The post season is not the time to be doing this and why would Boone even bring him into a game if that is what is going on? Weaver said after the game that he is ditching all of this and going back to his old way of pitching. Might be too late now.
Boone seems to predetermine who is gong to pitch instead of using the current situation in a game. I'm sick of Cruz as well. He brings nothing to the table except to let inherited runners score then add a few more runners of his own before leaving a game cheerleading.
It's only 1 game but the Yankees better start some situational hitting or this will be over in 3 games.

I wouldn’t call Weissert “talent”
And the Yanks lost Whitlock as a Rule 5 guy 5 years ago
You get Fried out at some point early to make sure he’s as fresh as can be for a Game 5 (which looks completely unlikely at this point but you still need to plan for it).
Let the Blue Jays board a plane…let them play on the road again (where they had a losing record)…let them go through customs and sleep in a hotel…and find a way to win two against some crappy starters for Toronto…and then let’s see what happens in a Game 5 with Fried on the mound again.
Did you watch him strike out with the bases loaded and no outs in a 2-0 ball game? He’s paid umpteen millions to produce in those type of situations.
There is a lot to complain about on this team but Judge is not one of them.
When that happened I knew it was not going to be our day again. Toronto has killed our pitching but they have also had quite a few weird hits and lucky bounces. Time for that tide to run.
I thought the very same thing. Damn ball bounced 30 feet into the air and over the pitcher. Just ridiculous.
Bright spot? Weaver finally recorded an out....on a single pitch. So his ERA is no longer "infinity"
It's just 135.00

Fried let us down big time, in a must-win game.
Compare that to what Andy Pettite used to repeatedly do--win game 2s of playoff series when the Yanks had lost Game One.

For some reason we play like **** in Toronto. I wanted the home field advantage bad. That's why I get upset about losses to weak teams in June.
Well, Yanks aren't the only ones laying an egg. See Cubs and Phillies.
Phillies, lol, home fans are booing them. Last year losing to the wild card Mets (from their own division) and now gonna lose to the wild card Dodgers. Schwarber on a 0-22 streak or something.
