For sure, I don't think you can ever win that way but it is 2020 where anything goes.Unreal! Live and die by the long ball tho...
I was watching the Celtics and then caught the Yankees highlights after. It’s amazing how their bats have come alive the past few games. I knew they were too good to keep struggling, but I obviously didn’t expect this.Thanks, that's wild. In the fourth inning tonight they hit 3 straight homers on three straight pitches, HIcks struck out and then Stanton and Torres went back to back.
My only concern and roadblock of what's keeping them from winning another championship. They need one more hitter outside of DJ who can put the ball in play and hit situationally. Torres can be that, Frazier is showing he can be that too and Andujar, one day, could be that...but likely for another team.Unreal! Live and die by the long ball tho...

Hicks has a great eye and takes a lot of pitches which is huge in the playoffs when you want to spoil the starter. Despite his low BAA, he doesn't have many "bad" at-bats.Tanaka going back in after the rain delay was questionable, even though he was pretty good.
Still don’t get why Hicks is playing, he’s god awful on defense and can’t swing the bat. Frazier and Tauchman are just sitting there...
Very true I just don’t like him and Gardner out there, even tho they do take good ABs.Hicks has a great eye and takes a lot of pitches which is huge in the playoffs when you want to spoil the starter. Despite his low BAA, he doesn't have many "bad" at-bats.
Looks like Boone is benching Gary Sanchez again for tonight's game. Can they try a "fresh start" next season or is this it for him in NY? I'm a Sanchez fan because the upside is so much higher than with almost any catcher they replace him with, but I guess Boone/Cashman have finally seen enough. Can't imagine he holds much trade value right now.
What is his contract status?No matter what he does in the playoffs, I firmly believe that it's time to cut Sanchez loose. The starters don't trust him, his defense sucks even if he once in a while manages to cath teh ball and throw out a runner, and his work ethic at teh plat is abysmal. I think honestly think he needs to get out of the New York lights.

Mike Stanton took 5 pitches and takes the backward K.

The Yankees starting pitching going into the playoffs:Never understood the reason to sign Stanton outside of platooning him with Judge, one may get a full season between the two. The Yanks had Judge (and Sanchez) at the time. The need batter to get on base more often to both maximize the damage done via the HR and to get runs in when the big bats are quite, like they were last night. DeMathieu is that. Frazier could be that. And of course, they could spend more money on pitching because there is never enough pitching and pitching rules the playoffs, just ask Tampa.
