POLL Who SHOULD the Yankees start tonight?

[Mike A. S.]

I know Severino is starting, but who do you think the Yankees should start at pitcher in tonight's AL Wild Card Game?

 

[bksballer89]

Clearly should have been Happ

 

[nynasty]

I thought it would be Tanaka, but apparently, Oakland's #s against fastballs over 97 mph are dreadful.

Didn't seem to bother them too much when they hung 5 runs on him in 2 1/3 last month, but hey.......

 

[nynasty]

I think he lets it all hang out tonight-2 pitches, fastball and slider for 2 maybe 3 innings, then turn it over to the pen.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Domingo Germán

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Fuck the Yankees.

I don't think the starting pitching will be the game maker. Bring the bats.

JA Happ for sure. If this were the same Sevy from the first half of the season, they I'd be more confident in tonight's game. But as the 2nd half as gone the way it's gone, wouldn't be surprised if this is our last game of the season. With that said, the A's are starting a Liam Hendriks? Don't know much about the guy but I do know he's only pitched 24 innings this year for the A's and didn't look too terribly good with them.

Well if you can't hit the ball, it doesn't matter what bats you bring lol

Too late, Yankees...I placed a large-ish wager on the Bombers tonight, thus assuring your demise

Should've parlayed with the over

1.1 IP, 5 hits, and 3 ER

He's only going an inning. If they follow their past patterns, they'll bring in Mengden for the 2nd inning and beyond.

I don't know what that means. All's I know what to do with my gambling money is to blow it

Probably will put something on the over though, because I still have money to waste

McCutchen
Judge
Gregorius
Stanton
Hicks
Sanchez
Andujar
Voit
Torres

This exact line-up has only been started 4 times so far, and they've averaged 7.5 runs per game.

The o/u number is 8.5.

Looks like a gift from the gambling gods to me.

Twins had those same dreadful numbers last year.

I really don’t get starting Severino even tho it could work

That escalated in a hurry.

The Yankees should never get a pass. With what they spend, the attention they receive? If they fail to win a world series or for that matter any series they should be called out for it
