seems that once again the Yankees have a team that is built to win in the regular season,, but not the post season... They scored right at 50% of their runs via the home run,,, and for the most part - because you face better pitchers in the playoffs #1,,,, and #2 - teams do not let their starters hang around for a 3rd and 4th time thru the line up = you see the better relievers... so that equates to less home runs,,,
ok - there is still at minimum two more games to play.... in Cleveland,,, win them both and get a day off - then travel to Houston (or Seattle - NOT) to play in the ALCS. Split and travel back to NY to play a winner takes all GAME 5 - Yankees have Severino .vs Guardians McKenzie.... then in Game 4 it's Cole .vs the Undecided - and I wonder if the yankees change up Cole to Game a potential Game 5 IF they win today...... and start Tallion ion Game 4 - he threw 18 pitches yesterday, gave up 2 runs on three hits,,, and did not record an Out.... I will say that for the most part - starters do not do well coming ion as a Reliever.... Hard to ask someone that started all year... 32 Starts - to then come in as a reliever,, ok - its to start the inning,, but still not what they're 100% used to doing...
The Astros (read that as CHEATERS) are up 2 games to none on Seattle - gotta believe they win that series today or tomorrow ,, and go home to await either NY or Cleveland....
Surprisingly - the Padres lead the Dodgers 2 to 1 ,, and can close out the Series today at home in San Diego.
Same for the Phillies - they lead Atlanta 2 games to 1 and can win that series today also....
elimination games are always great as you have the possibility of one team going home... If they can both get to a Game 5 - thats even better - as its Winner takes all,,, loses goes to play golf till Spring Training...
