Carpenter's 0-7 with 7 strikeouts in the postseason, so naturally he's the DH and batting 5th. And Stanton is playing LF at the Stadium. And after making several great defensive plays in game 2, Peraza is on the bench. It's the Yankee way. The ALCS is a tough place for a rehab assignment, which is essentially what this is. |

I think Carpenter was a man for just that short time we saw earlier this season. He had been essentially finished for three years. Discovered a way he could change his swing that worked for a little while. I don’t look for him to continue to be productive going forward. It was a nice story, but it’s over… sort of like Mike Ford and Tauchman, oh… and Maybin in 2019… The difference is that Mike Ford, Mike Tauchman, Cameron Maybin were never on the level of Matt Carpenter, and they had their runs all in the juiced ball year of 2019. There is nothing wrong with Carpenter's swing or approach, it's his timing, and to think that he could get that back after so long a layoff with a handful of simulated at-bats or minor league games was unrealistic. I really like Matt Carpenter, but he should not have been on the playoff roster. In the meantime, the Yankees had a rookie with a great glove at shortstop who in 50 at bats had an OPS+ of 139, hit .306/.404/.429/.832, able to put the ball in play, and steal a base: EXACTLY what the Yankees were looking for, yet they left him off the playoff roster. Then, leave him on the bench. Inane. I agree!!! |

Then, leave him on the bench. Inane. I agree!!! The lack of power off the bench is a big issue. They are looking for that with Carpenter. Though Peraza did have a few HR towards the end of the season. They could have Peraza and Carpenter on the ALDS roster there was no need for Marwin who is off this roster and Hicks being out puts room for Carpenter on this roster. |

Judge swings at ball 4 and then pops a very hittable pitch. He needs to get going.

Mancini gave that one a ride but Bader catches it on the warning track.
