    I just hope this COVID-2 season does not lay the ground work for this incomprehensible playoff
    system! If this be the case, why play 162 games, and just play a 60 game season for the millions
    of uninterested baseball fans. I just fear today’s fans have very short memories & can only deal
    with a condensed baseball format! Scary thought.

    This group looks like it will be out early. I can't see the offense suddenly getting off the ground against one of the best pitchers in baseball.

    A FEW NFL teams allowed fans. So should it be with MLB. People want some normalcy again.

    Cleveland faced some pretty good offenses like the White Sox and Twins so I can't see the streaky Yankees striking fear into their (Clevelands) Staff. Ceveland I felt had a better Staff than the Yankes in '17 but lost. Don't think that will happen this yearr. Sad too say but I have very little confidence in the '20 Yankees.

    Batting order I would like to see as opposed to the usual shit alignment would be:
    Lemehieau, judge, gleyber, Stanton, voit, gio, Frazier, Hicks and hishioga

    Yankees will have tough time scoring runs tomorrow, regardless of their rah-rah manager cheering these
    frustrating hitters.

    Whatever Gerrit Cole wants, he’s going to get (it)......regardless of the manager & GM’s thoughts.
    Cole wants Higashioka to catch him & bingo!....he gets his wish. Management’s favorite, Gary Sanchez,
    will be watching Game 1 on the pines......and I say, “Gary, well deserved”.

    DJ LaMahieu (.366)will become only the 4th Yankee in the team’s long magical history to win the AL batting title.
    He joins the fantasy trio of Mickey Mantle .353 BA in 1953, Joe DiMaggio .381 in 1939, & Lou Gehrig .363
    in 1934.
    Note* It took 67 years since Mantle’s feat for another Yankee to win the batting title.
    That’s a long time and LaMahieu, and the kicker here, was obtained in free agency.
    Why has it taken this long for Yankee managements to develop contact hitters?
