I don't think the Yankees advance without breaking a sweat. Sox lefties will need to hit lefties. That's the main concern for me. Also Bregman is sick and Giolitto will miss the series.

Bregman should be ready to go by all accounts.
 
Who's headed to a game? I picked up 2 for Wednesday, meeting a friend at the park. My first playoff game in NY since 09

Boone pulls Fried after 7 1/3 shutout innings.

Weaver gives up a walk and a hit.

Mound visit...

Weaver left in.

I knew this would happen. Fried is throwing a gam then Boone says hold on I have to try and get in the way to show how much of a genius I am I'm pulling Fried.

Starting pitchers should not have pitch counts in the postseason. It's not like Fried was gonna be throwing 140 pitches you go batter to batter.

I think Boone is awful but had no problem with him pulling Fried. He was struggling to get outs and his tank was looking pretty empty. If the bullpen can't do their job the team obviously isn't going anywhere. It is what it is.
 
Yankees 7th allowed the Sox outfielders to take a nap.

Fried was fine it's the postseason, you go to the pen when you need to you dont do it because the analytics tell you too. Crochet is dealing, Fried needed to stay in to at least go batter to batter.

Yankees with bases juiced, nobody out. Stanton up

Bases loaded with no outs and I told my friends they have no chance. It's the same thing year after year for like 15 years. Totally incapable of getting the big hit. The good thing is the losses don't bother me one bit anymore.

Yankees are a hr or nothing lineup trying to do nothing but swing for the fences the bases loaded were loaded. I wasn't fooled by the fake hustle effort in the last month.

Or at least a productive out.

They feasted on crap teams. They should've put a lineup of contact hitters who get on base to surround Judge many years ago. It's a joke of an organization since The Boss passed away. The thing that stinks is Judge is hands down the greatest hitter of his generation and he'll never win one because of the clown show running things.

Fried had been walking guys, couldn’t find the strike zone and had two on each of three prior innings. He was done. Not having a lefty RP was the problem. Once you let Boston bring the actual lineup off the bench things change.

He wasnt perfect so what he's paid 240 mill to pitch through the 7th at least take it batter to batter. An ace is paid to pitch when they're tired it's what makes an ace an ace. Fried wasn't being asked to throw 120-140 pitches.

Boone went with the binder instead of haven't a feel for the game, Weaver hadn't been the same since ce he was on the IL earlier in the year. It was a questionable decision at the time.

Fried said he had more left in the tank after the game. Of course he’s a gamer so he’s going to say that but he looked legit pi$$ed sitting there watching Weaver implode.
 
Boone did have a feel for the game and that's why he took Fried, who was showing signs of fatigue, out. He was at 102 pitches and put two guys on in the 4th, 5th, and 6th. Duran is a lefty batting 7th for some reason so it made sense to bring Fried out for the L/L match up. Rafaela has a flare for the theatrics but a Major League Playoff pitchers should have no worries in getting quad-A 28 year old retiring.

BTW For all the boasting about Aaron Judge's defense and how no one runs on him in the MVP thread, I think that any other right fielder literally keeps Sogard at 1st base. He doesn't score from 1st on Masa's base hit.

Husky25- - Judge hasn't been 100% since he came back to RF! The Yankees knew he couldn't throw as he normally can but figured a 70% Judge is better than the alternative!
An on the play mentioned Judge should have let Grissham field it and make the throw since he was in a better position to make the throw!
Judge won't be 100% till next season!

Boone has a feel for the analytics. Fried was fine, he wasn't too fatigued to sprint to 1st base on his final batter. Wasn't too fatigued to finish the inning. Fried has won a World Series he can handle throwing over 100 pitches.

I normally say that your everyday fan isn't equipped to "know better" than an mlb manager, but last night Cone and Ravech both said that the yanks will jeopardize things when they go to the pen and its what the Sox were waiting for. They even said that every Yankee fan in the stadium felt the same and the wind was knocked out of the place. All were correct
