Still assuming the Wildcard, I think Severino actually ranks 4th behind Tanaka, Happ, CC to get that start

If this team trots him out there, I'll quit baseball forever, maybe sell the bar to Pure Steel

I hereby issue a retraction for this post.

We need to scare Boston.

I have to imagine if this lead gets down to 3 games in the next couple of weeks, there will be sweaty palms in Boston

Really sucks the Sox will win every game this week, shocked if they don't

Yanks can play great, lose one game and lose in the standings

Yeah we'll see. Sweeping a 4 game set away from home is pretty tough so I'm praying the White Sox take 1

Koepech goes in one, maybe he wants to stick it to em

The 10 game roadtrip starting next week will make or break the Yankees season (in terms of the division) IMO.

Gotta try and go 7-3 IMO

Looks like new found confidence in Yankee land after an amazing sweep of the worst team in MLB.


Too bad you guys couldn't have done that to the Orioles before . . . might not be trailing.

Didja know?


On August 27, 1978 the Yankees were actually further out of first place (7.5 games) than the 2018 version on the very same date (6 games)

Kinda fascinating, eh?

Dropping three and a half games in one weekend is definitely not a good look. How many more games do the Yankees have against the worst team in baseball?

They go West, Boston stopped going West in June

The Yankees have the AL all star team on the DL

But their scrap heap pick ups like luke voit have found the fountain of power.


Weird how all the Yankee scrubs and prospects miraculous find never seen before power.


"It is weird."

Tampa is no joke in that abomination of a ballpark. Really tough to win there in 2018.

"Pinstripe bump"

It's real, and it's glorious.

Greg Bird's gonna find himself in Scranton if this keeps up.

That Rays "opener" strategy looks like they may be on to something. Not sure whether the Rays are just hot but the Sox starters looked like shit all weekend. Need to get Sale, Erod and Wright back asap.

It does make sense considering the numbers do support the fact that starters ERAs do make a noticeable leap 3rd time through the order

I like the idea most in a short October series

I think he keeps a roster spot and sees an occasional start. The Shane Spencer imitation by Luke not likely to last, but there's an energy in that dugout this guy is bringing I haven't seen since Judge went down

Saw a hilarious tweet yesterday:


"Yankees new 1B platoon, Null & Voit"

Prolly not as funny if you're null.
