new york's hottest new club is yankee stadium

 

it's got everything: dozier dongs, starters with only one out, buxton robbing extra base hits, even brett gardner home runs

[Ding Dong Johnson]

the twins are going to lose like 15-4

[CubinNY]

I love these types of games when I don’t care who wins.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Please Maples become our Green

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The Twins going from 100 losses to deadline sellers to playoffs is pretty awesome.

 

it's pretty much that punchers chance that you and i and nobody else held out hope for in like 2013-14

 

IF THEY WEREN'T TRYING TO WIN, WHY WOULD THEY SPEND MONEY ON JAXON

 

It coulda happened too. They just needed some breaks dammit

these one-game playoffs are so good

Paul Molitor is awesome and all but my god does he bathe in beer? His skin looks like horsefeathers.

[Sammy Sofa]

I really like the Yankees chances against Cleveland. I wouldn't bet on it, as I'm not that gutsy, but as good as the Indians are, the Yankees can really shorten down games, and their bullpen is that deep. Now, they'll need some innings out of their starters,but assuming nothing is as train-wreck bad as Severino was today ...

 

I think an interesting decision for the Yankees will be when to pitch Severino. with such a short outing, I guess they could bring him back Game 2 and have him lined up for Game 5. As bad as he was, the whole body of work this year grants him a mulligan now that they've won. Of course, Game 2 and 5 is also Kluber ... and obviously the chances of winning go down. I wonder if they hold him off until Game 3 ...

 

Either way, it's going to be a tantalizing series in terms of matchups. If Giradi can get say ... 3 out of his starters, he really wouldn't be blamed if he turned it over to the pen that early, with all those off-days.

That was fun but playoff season is the season to appreciate how spoiled we are with Kasper and Deshaies.

 

Completely agree.

[Boris]

The Diamondbacks are going to beat the Dodgers.

[cl smooth]

that home run by goldschmidt omg

[Brian]

well this is getting interesting

[woodchip2153]

Just when I thought I might be able to turn it off and get to bed early!

[Cubswin11]

Zack Greinke lacks the clutch gene

[Ding Dong Johnson]

seems almost criminal to hit a ball that far and get a double

[TMan92]

Hanging a slider to a pitcher not a good idea. Even a reliever.
