Yanks Advance!

Severino was squeezed but dominant into the 5th, Judge followed a Cutch walk with a blast in the bottom of the first, and it was just counting down the outs after that.  The A's kept switching pitchers, effectively, but Judge lead of the 6th with a double, and Hicks doubled him home, Stanton walks, Voit  tripled and Didi hit a sac fly to finish the scoring in a 4 run inning.  Britton pitching in his first playoff action gave up a two run bomb, but Stanton answered with a bomb of his own and it's off to Boston we race! Let's go, Yankees!

I turned the game on at work during their big inning and was pleasantly surprised to not see RISPFail so I changed my username back.

Still trying to figure out how they got Voit for Shreve.

They are slowly getting back to where they were earlier in the season.

I was expecting our best season since 98, with Judge and Stanton, but Judge got hurt, and was constantly screwed by umps, and Stanton had troubles adjusting and muscled through a bad hammy. Plus, Sanchez was rarely Sanchez and Bird lost another year. But I think we are embarking on a laser hot streak.

Boston will be tough to beat but think that is doable.

Sale looks hittable.

Price can't pitch in the Bronx.

No bridge to Kimbrell.

Betts and Martinez need to be contained.

Sanchez looked very good behind the plate.

I’ve read several people compliment Sanchez’s work behind the dish. (I only watched the latter half of the game so I didn’t get a full picture.) That tells me the ability is there. Question is, can he maintain focus consistently?

Boston will be tough to beat but if they don’t win that first game, it could be trouble for them.

His fundamentals were better too. He was in position to block balls or at least have the best chance to do so since once a ball bounces it can go anywhere.

Although the error was on Andujar, a good first baseman would have had his throw since the bounce was true.

If Voit had turned over his glove, he would have caught it. I really felt the error was his.

Happ

James Kaprielian's first inning today: 89-91, still nasty in on righties.
Slider 83-85 with inconsistent shape & release feel. Obviously we're im wait-and-see mode as far as the stuff is concerned but it's clearly not back yet.

Happ spit the bit. The ump’s strike zone for Sale was a disgrace but Happ’s pitches were way way way out the zone.

Just a shit the bed outing by Happ when it mattered most.

Stanton’s all-or.-none approach get freakin annoying.
