Sabathia vs. Kluber

Lineups to follow...

 

[cagedlion]

It’ll be tough to win this game. Indians have lost 3 consequetive games to one team twice, Minnesota
and the A’s, in the first half of their schedule. Second half they were ‘lights out’. Big question is............
will Biggie be on his game? Do not expect Kluber to be off in back to back appearances. I’m still hoping.

^^^the good news for the Yanx is that it will be "all hands on deck" if CC starts to falter.

...the Yanx have faced 3 elimination games in the last week...and they won ALL of them.

OT....I just woke up to the most awesome sunrise the sky was bright red. Did anyone else in the Northeast see this???

 

[yankeesince59]

...note to CC and anyone else who pitches tonight; pitch Encarnacion low and away all night...make him put pressure on that tender ankle.

...glad to see Ellsbury is back in the lineup and Headley is sitting.

Well that is the "A" line up, now if CC & Staff throws and "A" Game the Yankees stand a pretty good chance.

...yeah, this will either be his last game as a Yankee or his most defining moment as a Yankee.

Sweep the leg...yes sensei.

As awful as this sounds, I'd also throw low at his feet to make him not feel comfortable planting at all on either foot. Make him have to hop away from some pitches.

 

[yankeesince59]

...why in the hell would Gardner wanna bunt to the right side vs a RHed pitcher ?

 

[yankeesince59]

...DiDi !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Messiah717]

Great first inning. On the board first and CC with an easy inning. Keep it going in the top of the second.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

DIDI...CC...PERFECT FIRST INNING

LET'S GO YANKEES

 

[yankeesince59]

...Yanx doing a good job of working the count and making Kluber work hard.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

cc looks very smooth...crossing fingers this can keep going

 

[yankeesince59]

...Judge is clearly hurting his team by being overly aggressive.

 

[Rangers94]

Judge is too god damn far off the plate so low and away is wide open for him to swing and miss. He needs to move in and crowd the plate. Unreal how this keeps happening during his slumps and our coaches can't fix it.

 

[mrmel29]

DIDI goes deeeeeeep

 

[Messiah717]

Sir Didi Part II

 

[yankeesince59]

...DiDi again !!!...3-0 good guys !

 

[Mattingly23NY]

D-D-!!! C'mon Tito pull the seal clubber.....

that's what ya' get for not throwing the Judge a pitch to hit...

He has to change his approach for sure or his nightmare will continue. If he's not going to move in the box he has to shorten his swing and think more about contact and less about power.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

All Rise..substitute Judge DIDI IS PRESIDING

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

He needs to just dive to the outside and slap it to right field..it will happen next at bat

^^^^ especially back home in t/Bronx, become the next bleacher creature God-!!

 

[Stepupstepan]

Didi is the man. Who needs Jeter when you have Didi G...LOL

...remember earlier in the year when Judge was taking those outside pitches to RF instead of stubbornly trying to pull them?

Yup, he's trying to pull everything and he's missing the same exact pitch over and over.
