    Well, looks like the Yankees are going to try to win the ALCS with one pitcher. I have no confidence
    in Yankee pitchers who demonstrate difficulty trying to pitch into the fourth inning; in a Yankee manager
    who rather be a player’s friend than their field general; in a GM who never obtained the needed pitching
    to get to a World Series. A Yankee win tonight is a must......but still it guarantees nothing, especially with
    the way the other starters have failed........so far!

    I wonder if there will be any wind-blown HRs tonight? Cannot wait to hear Fox broadcasters call the
    home runs “flukes”.

    Plain and simple: Josh Reddick is a wuss with a short memory. He should know all there is to know
    when it comes to “disrespect”........he started out with the Boston RedSux. Now there are fans who
    defined “disrespectful”.

    And to add on to those sentiments when ones confidence level in this Yankee team has sunk too where you pray they win one more at home so that if the series is in fact lost it won't be on home grounds. Judge stated "We've been in this spot before". Right on Aaron and you lost in '17, '18 and on the verge of '19. Where is that hunger you spoke of?

    Management expects these players to pick up before their injuries. Boner & Trashman again showing
    their moves are based on some damn analytical sheet of paper, and not the reality of players’ present
    performance. This duo is proving that they can lead their horses (players) to water, but have no way (plan)
    on making them drink the water! Outcome: another series loss.

    The reality of the series outcome will again depend upon the pitching........though Yankee hitting has been
    silenced since Game #1, it is Yankee starters faltering to a very good Astros offense. It looks like these
    Yankee teams are made for the long season and not for playoff baseball.

    Another gem from Boner I just heard on MLB Network. Boner stated that Stanton was "trending in the right direction and wants to be "in it". What Stanton needs is a one way ticket out of New York. Harold Reynolds once again seeing which way the wind is blowing and commenting in that direction ditto Amsucker.

    Girardi is supposed to break down Sanchez's defense, on the MLB channel here within a couple of minutes.

    Girardi on Sanchez as a hitter.

    His Timing is off !!!! Where have I heard that??

    Girardi stating Sanchez when he first came up was one of the best changeup hitters he has ever seen.

    Girardi breaking down Sanchez's 2019 season month by month injury by injury, spray chart by spray chart, especially coming back from an injury and time off.

    Obviously his timing is off when he comes back from having time off- okay Joe,
    I would have never known so without your breakdown [sarcasm] :blink: :hcp:
    Girardi must be addressing fair weather weekend warrior casual viewers.

    2019 postseason spray chart 4 Sanchez horrific. 3 pop-up foul ball outs. Everything hit weekly around infield. Nothing at all hit squarely or driven deeply, 2 for 21.

    Why in the hell do I want to see video of John Turturro pulling his shirt off in his living room and playing cheerleader.
    Afrog Arod must be enjoying himself.

    Geezzzzuuussss....
    for once in my life I am hearing Common Sense coming out of A-Fraud and Shrek Pappy's mouths. Probably the first time in their lives too.

    "[ Shrek stating I have a problem with this lineup. Your best hitter goes in the 3-hole that would be GT or LeMahieu." Wow Novel concept...

    A-Fraud following up with -
    "I couldn't see Paul O'Neill leading off and Bernie Williams batting second".
    That's cuz Torre was a real Mgr.

    Once, Just Once ...!!!
