[Lillie]

You and me Both.

[cagedlion]

BaBoone’s managerial moves, even with this 5 run lead, makes me uneasy. He acts on impulse....
something that prevails throughout the game.

 

[cagedlion]

Urshela tacks on run #8 with sac fly.

 

[mrmel29]

Gleyber with another rbi and needs to be batting 3rd for the rest of the playoffs

 

[cagedlion]

Gleyber is El Fuego! Singles in run # 9. This kid comes thru big time! Now, if somebody
with a brain can convince this manager to bat Gleyber in more prominent lineup position
and give Mr.Stanton a deserved rest, alongside Sanchez, on the pines!

 

[mrmel29]

And gardy goes yardy

 

[Lillie]

Gardner goes Yard. 11-2.

 

[Lillie]

And gardy goes yardy

 

[cagedlion]

Who lit a fire under Gardy? Hits HR for a romping 11-2 lead.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Yep, you thought he was gone but that old Cockroach Gardner stepped up for his team, again!

 

[cagedlion]

I would never have imagined that this team put on such an offensive show against Bieber & Co.!

 

[cagedlion]

Yep, you thought he was gone but that old Cockroach Gardner stepped up for his team, again!

You are right. I wanted him off this team.....since Day 1. He’s surprised me tonight.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Bieber with the worst start of the season.

 

[cagedlion]

Cole has 11 SOs, most by any Yankee pitcher in postseason history.
Cole accomplished this evening’s game with Yankee postseason record of 13 Ks.

 

[cagedlion]

Bieber with the worst start of the season.

Never thought it would be tonight!

 

[Messiah717]

Cole set the tone and gave everyone confidence and a lift.

 

[yankeesince59]

Cole set the tone and gave everyone confidence and a lift.

Yup, Cole came up huge when he needed to...of course when the Yanx went up 2-0 versus Bieber after just 4 pitches, that was also a big confidence booster.

 

[mrmel29]

And Stanton with the “clutch” 11-2 homer

 

[yankeesince59]

Cole has 11 SOs, most by any Yankee pitcher in postseason history.

Clemens had 15 Ks in 2000 vs Seattle during game 4 of the ALCS.

 

[cagedlion]

And Stanton with the “clutch” 11-2 homer

Atypical hit by this dude. Not impressed. And totally meaningless.

 

[yankeesince59]

And Stanton with the “clutch” 11-2 homer

"Stat padding".

 

[Rangers94]

Atypical hit by this dude. Not impressed. And totally meaningless.

Those hits and HRs are what I call “A-Rod hits,” because they always come when there’s no pressure and the win/loss is already sealed.

 

[Messiah717]

Tanaka needs to help end things tomorrow.

 

[yankeesince59]

Tanaka needs to help end things tomorrow.

Agreed, we sure don't want this series to go to a winner-take-all, game 3.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Those hits and HRs are what I call “A-Rod hits,” because they always come when there’s no pressure and the win/loss is already sealed.

During the '09 season the Yankees played Boston Beckett vs AJ Burnett. A-hole won the game for the Yankees hitting a walk off in the bottom of the 15th. That is the only somewhat cool memory I ever had of A-hole Yankee Performances.
