Hopefully Cole gets the ridiculous strike zone that Snell has gotten......Strike 3 on Stanton was criminal......
That wasn't a strike?
Let's go!!!!!!!
Not saying it's an auto loss or anything. But why are the Yanks starting that Garcia kid??
Why not?
Throwing a rookie who has been meh at best allows uncle Mo to shift to the other side quickly. And it sounds like Happ/Montgomery are on call for the game.
Throwing a more playoff experienced Tanaka allows you to go for the early killshot.
I think it's quite brilliant, actually, and about time Boone started thinking like Cash.
Rays start their lefty line-up, Garcia gives them 2 or 3, then Yanks bring in Montgomery and force the Rays to pinch hit up and down their line-up.
If it works, then you have extra-rest Tanaka (.628 OPS against on 6+ days of rest) for the true killshot. If it doesn't, then you still have Tanaka for the crucial 1-1 swing game.

I like it as well, kid shows poise for such a young age.....Deivi vs Goliath tonight.....needs to land the first stone on Glasnow
No doubt. He's extremely tough-and unlike Snell, has a history of pitching well against NY.
I also expect Meadows will be starting. He's been hurt and struggling, but that guy scares me more than anyone else in the TB line-up.
I still can't believe they got them both for Chris Archer. What an epic swindle.
I haven't checked, but I would assume the Pirates GM got a one way ticket to Palookaville......What a disaster and I believe we all mentioned we wanted no part of Archer back then.....
