Not me, Tanaka is a money pitcher that loves the moment

Severino is the opposite

Tanaka has been better in September but he's struggled in August. I would be mad is Tanaka gets the start but Happ is my #1 choice.

Two disappointing days. I thought they would clinch the last night .
too finish it tonight.

It is so damn tough between those 2.

Tanaka with a 0.43 ERA in 3 starts this month.

Happ at 0.50 ERA in 3 starts this month.

I still think a dominant Tanaka start tonight and he is a lock to pitch in the WC game

I'd agree with that. if Tanaka looks amazing tonight, no way he doesn't get the WC game start. I think the idea of Happ getting the WC start is just a pipe dream to be honest. Think it's down to Tanaka and Severino.

Severino shouldn't be in the discussion. If Happ isn't in the discussion then this organization isn't about winning.

His ERA is 2.39 in 9 starts since coming to the Bronx

I completely agree. Should only be down to Happ and Tanaka. I don't think that's how the organization sees it though, unfortunately.

Speaking of the Red Sox, are you dare starting Happ/Sevy next weekend in Boston assuming Tanaka gets the ball in the WC game? Not sure how I'll feel about Boston seeing those guys 2x in about a 10 day span prior to a possible ALDS matchup vs Boston

Allll about the importance of the games, if we are locked into homefield, I'll let Greg Bird pitch

Maybe he's good at that. Gotta be something he's good at.

I have to imagine left off the postseason roster and tossed in a trade as a throw in this winter

So ESPN bought one of my favorite sites a year or so ago: hittrackeronline. Instead of continuing it they basically scrapped it and substituted their own shitty version. In any event, does anyone know whether any of the homers the Yankees hit yesterday would be homers in any other parks in the league?

He and Joe Kelly can have a playoff watch party somewhere in Connecticut.

agreed, I really miss that site.

I would go with Tanaka. He was great in the playoffs last year and if all goes well Happ would pitch game one in Boston and he's been really good against the Sox.

Unfortunately it isn't baseball

Another one I noticed just took a turn for the worse. Bostondirtdogs hadn't been updated in about 3 years, BUT they still had that nice twitter feed of various boston and national sports writers. Could get breaking info on basically all major sports without having to sign up for twitter and follow everyone. Well they removed that twitter list sometime last week. So basically what used to be a great site is just a shell.

I'd probably guess not

But JD broke my heart with a homer in that exact spot this season when it was still a race

So fuck Boston

Wonder if Gardner's gonna make it? Probably over Bird, but I think the writing is on the wall that these are his last handful of games in pinstripes.

He'll look good in Royal Blue.

Was that the one Judge should have had but didn't?

Best site ever was Baseballraces.com. You could track any pennant race in history day by day. Gone now, unfortunately.

Gardner will be on it for sure I would have to think, but relegated to pinch running, bunt situations
