not counting the garbage runs in the 9th today, Yankees scored 4 runs in 3 games against Cleveland
thats not the way to put the division leaders on their heels going into a weekend series

What a time for Verlander to be traded to Houston, eh?

I figured for sure Betances was going to blow that game last night. And how awesome was it that when the bases were loaded in the 9th they had Kahnle warming and not Chapman. It just shows you that the team has totally acknowledged that he is 100% unusable.

Yankees need to step up their game. I have a feeling judge will get hot if he gets to play October ball.

The Dodgers are on a bigger losing streak than Curt Hawkins

i dont think Chapman is useless....the problem is that Chapman is no longer any different from a TON of relief pitchers, hell even most starters. everybody throws 100mph now, the difference is location. Chapman and the Yankees apparently still think he can get by just because he's Chapman. he cant be "overused"....he's throwing 103, 104 mph. It's that 50% of pitching is mental, and he's failing big time this year so he's just throwing 103mph over the strike zone thinknig that's going to beat most hitters, but it doesnt. ing Joe Kelly throws 100mph and he sucks. Severino was throwing 100mph the other night and he's a starter. Chapman needs to learn how to pitch, instead of throw. Same way CC did when he lost his velocity. Become the guy who can hit a corner at 103 and you're unstoppable. You gotta adjust.....and he just hasnt done that. Its too early to declare it a lost cause

and my point is made, Kimbrel comes in throwing 99/100mph
and he's hitting spots. changing zones. then mixing in a changeup or two. pitching is about deception, throwing 100mph down the pipe doesnt do that

So... are the Indians ever going to lose again? Yes, in the playoffs against the Yankees. Are the Dodgers ever going to win again?

I would love for my cubs to repeat as champs but with numerous injuries and a weak bullpen I don't see it happening

Hmmm... I'll say, Cleveland over Washington in 6.
Also, I'll say the Twins upset the Yanks in the WC game. Why not.

Forgive me but maybe you really are or another planet In all seriousness, I can't see the Yankees getting passed the ALDS. They have awfully inconsistent pitching and have all year. Even Tanaka hasn't been completely dominant. He embarrassed the Jays the other day but god they suck. They'll definitely beat the Twins. Not even sure how they managed that one, but I guess so many other teams were garbage this year they squeezed through. Diamondbacks and Rockies will be really fun to watch but agree, Diamondbacks over Rockies. Astros/Red Sox will be tight but I say Astros in 5. Dodgers usually choke and have been lately, so yeah - Diamondbacks will run through them. Cubs will run over the Nats 3-0 and the Diamondbacks - but that will also be a great series. Astros v. Cubs? Cubs in 6 or 7. Gotta love baseball playoffs though because anything I say is probably wrong because there will be so many surprises!!!

He hates the Yankees so every year he predicts them to win 130 games and sweep their way through the Playoffs to win the World Series. It's like a superstitious jinx attempt thing. lol

The Yankees have 6 starters that can be an ace on any other playoff team (Severino, Sabathia, Gray, Tanaka, Montgomery, Garcia) although I find it $u$pect CC is having a Championship Career season at 37.
