To be very clear, I will only be eating my hat if the Yankees sweep the LDS, LCS, and WS.

Great series by the Yankees. Boone is a great manager and he knew exactly when to pull the trigger on pitching changes, not leaving starters in too long, situational match ups, etc. He's a great manager. He won't win manager of the year bc of the Yankees payroll, but due to all the injuries and what he got out of this team using replacement players, he should be manager of the year.
Against the Twins, the Yanks managed to come up with the big hits, the pitchers buckled down and got out of jams, and the defense was SPECTACULAR. That was really the key to Game 3. If LeMahieu, Judge, Gleyber and Didi don't make key plays in the field, that game could have turned out way different.
The Yankees need to figure out how to win 8 more games!

I didn't totally agree with all the moves he made, but I disagree I think he's going to win Manager of the Year. I don't know what the payroll has to do with anything. Pretty much everyone making the money was hurt. Or hell, give the award to Cashman for getting guys like Urshela, Tauchman, and Maybin.

I feel bad for him, I really do. One of the best pitchers of this generation, but has never found the truly great success in the playoffs.

The last Yankee manager to win MOTY was Torre in 1998 when they won 114 games I dont even know what they use to determine who gets it but its certainly not wins or payroll or whatever. I feel like they just look at a team that did more than was expected of them in spring training. So the Yankees skipper will never get it since they always just "assume" the Yankees are going to make the playoffs Baldelli or the Rays manager will probably get it this year

It isn't Kershaw's fault at all. Dave Roberts horribly mismanaged the entire situation. I am not usually one that calls for a manager's head (since Don Mattingly is my favorite player of all time it was extra tough for me hearing people complain about his decision making which I didn't think was anywhere near as poor in the postseason as Roberts has been) but I don't see any other way out of this for Roberts.
Kersh should have gotten that last out and then just put in Maeda fresh. Even Joe Kelly who I basically despise after last year's World Series and this long ass season with him pitched a great 9th and he just left him in too long. He used nobody from the bullpen who had the Nats numbers in the previous games. It just makes no sense. He thought he was shutting it down and it backfired terribly.
I can wait for next year but holy sh*t that stings.

We’ll see, but I think he has a good shot.

Not sure if zack Greinke and his social anxiety disorder is the guy you want starting game 1.

Cardinals said the balls arent traveling as far in the post season as they did the regular season. Apparently the Yankees didnt get the memo

If Verlander didn’t notice a difference then there probably isn’t one.

incredibly disappointed with the Yankees last night.
you knock Verlander out, scored a couple runs, and the offense fell flat on their face all night. had chance after chance to shut that insufferable crowd with their ass wiping towels up, and couldn't get it done.

I was hoping it would go a couple more innings. Boone had me on the phone, I was heading to Houston for relief pitching. I mean, everyone else got a turn.

I wouldn't call that "knocking out" Verlander. Basically 7 innings 110+ pitches or whatever it was. It was a typical Yankees vs. Verlander game. Luckily Judge popped him, and frankly I thought he got him again his next AB. For the life of me I don't know why Boone took Chad Green out. He was rolling. Ottavino hasn't been looked the greatest so far in the playoffs, get Green thru the inning and then you can mix/match with Ottavino and Kahnle. Despite that, ain't gonna win too many games scoring 2 runs, so overall it's more on the offense than anything. 3 in a row at home now, at worst we gotta have it going back to Houston up 3-2.
