OT: NY Yankees 2025 Season Thread
- Thread starter WhiteBus
- Start date
Let’s see if Boone sits Jazz and Rice like Game 1 LOL…such a moron.
Game three will be a huge test given who the NYY starter is and likely having Chapman ready for Boston.
I imagine there will be some "quick hooks" with the pitchers from Boone.
Imperative Yanks get an early lead.

I’m sure Boone and Cashman already have the pitch count set 12 hours before opening pitch and exit velocity will dictate line-up.
Really miss the days when you could throw Cone out there for 130 pitches and be ready to go on short rest if needed.,,
Boston has an inexperienced rookie starter going tonight as well. Plus I doubt Whitlock will be available after throwing close to 50 pitches last night. Cora managed last night like it was an elimination game for them and worked his bullpen hard and early. Could be a disadvantage for them tonight.
Game moved to 8pm instead of 6pm btw with the Dodgers closing their series out last night.
Boston has more guts and a manager that is lightyears better than Boone. Tonight will be tough unless the big bats go boom.
Pretty unusual that two playoff teams wouldn't have better options for a Game 3.
Giolito down obviously should help, but Boone apparently doesn't trust Gil or Warren.
One could surmise a high scoring game.
First time 2 rookies with less than 15 MLB starts are facing each other in a playoff game. Schlittler has 14, Early has 4.
I saw that. Also the 4th youngest combined pitchers in a playoff game.
I'm looking for elimination games.
When I look at the fact that Schlittler is the third starter, it kinda indicates that this year's team wasn't constructed to win the WS, just a chance to get there.
With Cole and Schmidt out, Cashman wasn't willing to part with top prospects for one year #3 or #4 starting pitching.
I guess we'll know soon enough if that approach was correct.

Rice in the lineup tonight at 1B instead of Goldschmidt. Right decision in my opinion. Now go out and win it!
Constructed nicely but injuries can get in the way…
The team is constructed with Cole, Fried, Rhodon, Gil
And now you have a rookie good enough to start this game..,
Cam motherf’ing Schlittler! Dude just wrote a chapter in Yankees postseason history that will last forever.
We're going to remember this performance for years to come. Especially since it was against the Red Sox.
Kid just had the game of his life. Kind of cool for him in the ironic way that it was to knock the Red Sox out of the playoffs- who was his favorite team growing up. Cole/Rhodon/Fried/Gil/Schittler/Schmidt is one hell of a starting group.
Judge
Judge and Volpe had the most hits in the Series. Stanton had 1 hit in the 3 gamesSurprised Boone didn't put Williams in to close the 9th. I guess he got overruled.
But Judge and Stanton need to start hitting.
Stanton yes, Judge hit like .360 so I'm not sure how much more hitting he needs to do.Surprised Boone didn't put Williams in to close the 9th. I guess he got overruled.
But Judge and Stanton need to start hitting.
Judge's only meaningful "hit" was a clear error by Boston. He needs to lead the way against Toronto.
Weird series...Volpe, who struggled ALL season, with a couple fantastic defensive plays and a key hit last nite.
A bit concerned with sloppy defense from Chisholm.

Runners left in scoring position with 2 outs - Bellinger 4, Grisham 5. Judge only has 2 runners LOB overall.
Unfortunately we're going to have to live with Chisholm's shaky defense. He is who he is. I'd like him to make better decisions before trying to make impossible throws like on Wednesday night.
Not about Jazz, but if George was alive, Boone would have never become manager and Cashman would have been long gone.I can only imagine if George was alive what the reaction would be.
I don't want to see Weaver for whatever is left of the post season!!!!!
This bullpen is truly dogshit.

I was expecting a loss in game 1 with the disadvantage in starting pitching, but wasn't expecting that. You tip your cap and turn to tomorrow. I do like the matchups the next 3 days.
The Judge/Stanton Ks with the bases loaded decided the game.
It certainly made a difference heading into the later innings. Things might have played out differently if the Yanks score 3 instead of 1 there
