Cannot wait for Vandy, Wood and Reddish to return.

3 key players off the bench to help us get better since that is a weakness right now.

I should have bet it on the series. Easy money

How so??

Yankees had such a huge pitching edge that this seems unlikely

And this is about as close of a 2-0 series as you can get

It’s so far like that flukey white Sox/Astros series in 05

Those dudes should be moved

Honestly sending the latter 2 to Portland to get Reath would make a ton of sense

Far from over lol if Yankees win tomorrow then they get a Dodgers bullpen game for game 4

And lord knows what you get out of flaherty

Last series his second start his velo was down 2mph

Plus Yankees could start cole game 4

Not sure I would but I think they will

The only one that can really help is Vandy. I agree the other 2 should probably be moved

Reddick seems like he really like Hayes and I don't think Reddish will be a part of their rotation

Only possibly go that route if they lose game 3. What I would do if they can tie the series is swap Cole and Rodon.

I rather see Rodon get a home game instead of another game in LA

You’re throwing him on short rest and it’s the third game in a row so your pen might be taxed

Plus it means cole is out for game 7 since it’s the next day

This why we paid him the big bucks

Also they have 2 starters they can use in Stroman and Cortes if the pen is taxed

Not sure about the pitching edge. The Yankees definitely have the edge on starting pitching, but I'm pretty sure the Dodgers have the better bullpen.

Overall, very evenly matched teams. I think the Yankees take at least 2 of 3 in NY.

Same with Atkinson.

Cade was dominating in the 3rd. Atkinson called a TO and they locked down after that
I mean, this happened often with the last coach (I also noticed atkinson yelling to refs a lot like every coach does). Not like he ended many games with TOs left.

If nothing else I love that now if we lose it's more likely the blame will fall on the players where it should.

sure you could say that about any good or bad coach ever. The point Atkinson isn’t afraid to make change or adjustments at any point in the game. Bickerstaff rarely did it. Not shitting on Bickerstaff, he did a nice job and brought the Cavs back into the spotlight but he had some clear weaknesses and stubbornness that gave this team a ceiling.

It’s early but the offense has come to life and early on we see he isn’t afraid to change things up in game

Not sure what you mean about blame. It depends on the circumstance.
