??? vs. Bauer

Lineups to follow...

 

[Lillie]

I'll try to find out later who the Binder is going with.

 

[Messiah717]

I'd imagine Tanaka then Sabathia in game 2.

 

[yankeesince59]

...I think I read Sonny Gray would get the start and CC in game 2.

You are correct Ron I just found it.

 

[yankeesince59]

...just spit balling, if Gray gets hit hard early in game 1 like Seve did last night, should Joe consider bringing in Seve in a long relief role?... I was just thinking about it and it's not like Seve threw a whole lotta pitches last night and historically, Seve has performed much better on the road than at home.
...I know it's not a conventional move but I was just wondering and as it is now, Seve probably would not get his next start for another 4-5 days anyway, which would end up being another home game.

 

[mrmel29]

Don't be surprised seve goes game 2. Tanaka sucks on the road and I'd be surprised if CC gets game 2

 

[Lillie]

Tanaka will start Game 3 and Severino Game 4 as per Sweeny Murti.

 

[yankeesince59]

Gray and CC for games 1 & 2

Okay your forgiven... Maybe it's that time of the month.

...are you referring to the full moon or, uhhh, uhh, the other ?

The other.

Possible Lineup for tonight:

Gardner -LF

Sanchez -C
Gregorious -SS
Headley -DH
Bird -1B

Nice line up, but with Gray pitching I'm as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Most seem to be of the opinion that the Yankees have no chance but opinions are like assholes everybody has one. I'm rooting for the Yankees and am expecting a good showing. Note to Severino: get over that Wild Card game and when called to do so pitch.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

No doubt the Indians aren't going to go down easy; and tho' I'm pulling always for the Yanx, I don't foresee Chief Yahoo giving much mercy.... Hope to hell it's not a scalping; and the Yanx show up to make this an exciting series...

Hope Keuchel out performs Sale as well.... I can't see the Bosox getting past the Stro's, but then anything can happen on any given day...

 

[yankeesince59]

...simply put, in this very short sided and abbreviated best of 5 series the Yanx simply must win tonight's game...if they do, I like their chance to actually win this series...on the other hand, if they lose tonight they then have to face Kluber in game 2 and if necessary, again in game 5...and in that scenario I do not like our chances.

...Gray has been either very good or very shaky.

...here's to hoping the better version shows up tonight.

 

[Lillie]

What a Fucking loser....Take him out now Joe.

 

[Lillie]

All Rise and here comes El Kracken.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Sanchez GIDP, Gregorius strikes, 4 inning no hits. Guess the offense is out on coffee break.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Gopher Boy strikes again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lillie]

Jesus Christ you never learn asshole.

 

[Messiah717]

We can't take ever starter out in the third inning or at any hint of trouble.

 

[Messiah717]

I would've went Tanaka or CC in the first game. Granted they don't have a hit but this was a big game.

 

[Lillie]

We can't take ever starter out in the third inning or at any hint of trouble.

And if they don't they will lose again......Sorry Vic just my opinion.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Where are the david cones and andy pettites.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Gray goes 3.1 innings, losing 3-0, now if the offense were battling back maybe you could leave him in.
