Passing was a big big mistake I was coming here to say that I bet the Yankees regret not trading Frazier for an ace.. especially because he's not even on their playoff roster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant build a team around starters always going 5 innings and hoping nobody in the bullpen has an off night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartica4Real Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 F'ing Clint Frazier was the dealbreaker for Gerrit Cole. You know that stings. They'll have a 2nd chance at Cole in the offseason but I think he's headed west to the Angels or Dodgers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont have a chance because Cashman will get a hard on over fiscal responsibility and offer him like 4 years 80 million 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest difference between these teams is the starting pitching and I wonder what happened there. Luhnow pulled trades for Verlander, Cole, and Greinke and then he extended Verlander. Yankees traded for Paxton in the offseason and.... waited for Severino to return from injury as their big trade deadline "acquisition." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbuff Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Think the series ends tonight. JV just too good. Coming back from a 3-1 deficit against this team with 2 games against Verlander and Cole and 2 in Houston would be miraculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they're playing smooth and the Yankees are the ones with the jitters. Experience exudes confidence. This team has gone thru Yankee Stadium now three times in the last five years, three ALCS' in a row, with absolute killers on the field. They aren't shook by anything anymore. This series isn't over in the slightest but they are in a great spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been even worse than NYY with RISP with more opportunities. Kind of ridiculous to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
