I know what you're trying to do.. Our starting pitching is in shambles. Our bull pen the same. The only chance we have to to win in high scoring games.
Sale can't break 90MPH right now. His shoulder is shot. ERod has been dreadful since the injury. Price has a shot in Boston I guess but Porcello is so inconsistent right now. he either pitches well or gets shelled. Nothing in between. I'd rather see Wright get a start over any of these guys.
If the Yankees are going to win this series, they're going to have to win it in four games or less. If there's a game 5, then Red Sux in five.

This AL playoff is stacked once again. The same 4 teams.
Boston 108 Houston 103 New York 100 Cleveland 91
The Indians had 4 pitchers get 200Ks this season. That is unheard of. If their Bullpen is healthy watch out. They have a great shot to knock off the champs.
Yankees obviously broke the record for bombs this season with 267. The power is there. Plus, most their starters are young guys on controlled contracts.
Red Sox get a team high 108 wins and win the division for the 3rd time in a row, first time they ever did that. They have 2 MVP candidates IMO in Betts and JD.
Astros bounce back with a franchise record 103 wins. Tons of pitching and tons of hitting talent. They are have a chance to repeat and be the first team to repeat since the 99-00 Yanks.
Going to be a very fun playoff.
NL should be fun to see too.

Not sure the Brewers have the pitching. Definietly have the pen though. That Hader kid is special.

Just like defense wins SBs in the NFL, I'm a big believer in "good pitching shuts down good hitting" in the baseball playoffs. So whomever has the 2 best pitching staffs in the playoffs could very well face off in the WS. Regardless, I'm hoping for Yanks vs Dodgers.

Lets hope that applies more than ever now to, good "relief" pitching.

So who’s going to throw the ceremonial first pitch in Boston? I’m guessing they will pick the knucklehead fan who threw a ball onto the field that bounced and hit Stanton. Go Yankees...

It could be you. I didnt see any Red Sox garb on him so he could easily switch sides back and forth.

Wow. Brewers up 2-0 all game, giving up 1 hit thru 8 innings.
Colorado just got 2 singles to start the 9th. And a double that got called back down the line!
Wow!
Brewers left bases loaded in the 8th too.

Hopefully Chris Sale still can't reach 90mph on his fastball.

dont like Torres taking on 3-1 .... he takes a called strike 2 on a very juicy pitch to hit, and swings at the next pitch would have been ball 4. hitters need to stay aggressive, they jump to the conclusion too soon pitchers are struggling w/ control and will walk in a run

Bases loaded and no outs. Strikeout, fielder's choice, and then a groundout. I have seen that story 100 times this season for the Yankees. RISP has been an issue all season long. I'm not surprised that they did minimal damage in that situation.

We made it as close as we could with their best guy on the mound, and not ours. Judge showed he's got some Jeter in him hitting the tough righty closer hard. Looking forward to game 2, can definitely Y see us taking it back to Bronx tied. Which is what we wanted out of this.
