AL East Thread

This As team is so much more dangerous than that Twins team


Not only are you not gonna just shut them down after a good first inning, like last year, the As can mix and match their pen far better than the Twins, and better than the Yankees

I agree on the A’s offense, but it’s not like the A’s have the pitching to contain the Yankees offense, either.

Yup, if they win, he looks like a genius.

If he loses though....oof

This is all Cashman. If the plan is to win the world series rather than just the wild card game it's a sound move. And it will only be an issue if Sevy doesn't pitch well. If he goes 6 and gives up one run and they lose 2-1 so be it. My bigger concern is Sanchez catching. If they lose because he can't catch the ball.....

Has Oakland announced yet?

Bull pen game, I forget who the "starter" is

 

[chappee11]

BTW...what would it have taken for the Yankees to get Gerrit Cole before the season? Anyone recall?

F*ck Gerrit Cole and the horse he rode in on.

Gleyber and Andujar

Yanks offered Frazier as a centerpiece. I read scouts say Frazier alone was better than what the Astros gave up

Appreciate it. I know they weren’t trading Torres this year, but Andujar might have been worth it. Frazier might be good if he can ever get on the field. Not sure on him.

Liam Hendricks starts

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Melvin on now admitting it's a bullpen game

Hendricks for an inning or 2

Looks like Barry Zito is getting the nod with Rick Honeycutt to follow. How do you win 97 games with no pitching staff? Amazing.

And you are saying the Yanks are one-and-done????

Yeah he's going an inning

The BP approach scares me, lineup never see a guy twice or 3 times

It's a good approach vs this all or nothing offense

Why they would want any part of that doosh after the stunt him and his dad pulled in 2008 I have no idea.

I hope the Yankees run into him in a couple of weeks and make him cry like a bitch.

You might be right. And anything can happen in one game, but it’s crazy that they don’t have anyone good enough to be a real starter in an elimination game.

It was a good fun boys

Either way, you always have your Miami Heat.

 

[nynasty]

Here's hoping the noise from last October shows up again and early. Yanks won all their home games last year on their run to game 7 of the ALCS, and that crowd was a huge part of it.

Big facts.

Pitched 1 inning against the Yanks in 2018, 3 up 3 down.

However, career numbers are pretty crooked. Yanks have a 1.004 OPS against him career, 1.107 in Yankee Stadium
