The Official 2024 New York Yankees Thread

Giancarlo is insane. 15 career playoff home runs, a home run every 8.3 at bats.

I think that last one is still coming down.

Rizzo should've caught that. He used to be so good at first but his reaction to everything sucks right now.

Rizz redeemed himself starting off the 9th and Kahnle gets the save.

That was way too stressful.

Very stressful. I thought the Leiter to Rizzo flub was the breaking point.

So did I. Cleveland is relentless and I'll never get over the Joba game where he was being attacked by midges.

The Yanks are an imperfect team, but they've played with a lot of heart this post season. Even the game 3 loss included them clawing back to take a lead. Fingers crossed that they get a solid start from Rodon and score enough runs that they can give the high-leverage bullpen guys a night off. Couple that with a hope that Mets/Dodgers goes seven so that the Yankee bullpen can get some rest before the World Series.

Also need to give kudos to Verdugo for playing solid playoff baseball and making Boone's confidence in him seem like a good decision.

Pen is a bit beat up but so is Cleveland's.
