I love it, but probably no Weaver tomorrow 24 pitches with a day off. we'll see. He'll be available tomorrow in the ninth for the save. You heard it here first! Don't forget your Green Stamps! How are you fixed for blades? There's nothing like an Aqua Velva man! |

I love it, but probably no Weaver tomorrow 24 pitches, he might have an inning in him. Tactically, Vogt sacrificed this game by emptying his bench early, and using none of his top relievers. He's better set for tomorrow with Bibee or Boyd. Against that, the Yanks if the Yanks can get another solid game from Cole, 6-7 good innings, they'll have Holmes, Kahnle and probably Weaver available for an inning. I concur. |

Yankees win!
Great job by Rodon, Holmes and Weaver!
Tip of the cap to Vogt for using Hedges as a pinch hitter in the 8th, the Yankees got 2 free outs in the last two innings.

I haven't seen a reliable ("ace") closer in the Bronx, like Weaver, since Mariano Rivera!

OK, Yanks ride a great 6 innings from Rodon, great relieving from Holmes and Weaver, 2 solo HR and metric bleepton of walks and wild pitches to a 5-2 win. Guardians probably won't shoot themselves in the foot nearly as much tomorrow as they'll be using their good relievers, maybe from the 3rd-4th inning again. Bibee tomorrow for Cleveland. He's good, but the Yanks should be able to do some damage. So Cole is the big deal. The Guardians will be freewheeling if they head back to Cleveland with the series tied, so, in to paraphrase Dean Wormer from Animal House:
"The time has come for someone to put his foot down, and that foot is Cole!!".

And let's hear it for Holmes, who's suddenly turned into one of the best setup relievers in the game!

Hedges should NEVER be pinch-hitting for anyone, even lefty vs. lefty, especially for a lefty power hitter in this park with the Porch. |

Wells may have not done anything offensively, but he certainly outplayed the Guardian's catchers defensively.

Also, he matched Boone questionable move for move by emptying the bench prematurely, while Boone took a risk letting Hill into it with a 4-run lead. |

alright 1-0 with our ace tomorrow. not much offense. continued the walkathon we've been on the this PS. helped by a couple wild pitches and bases loaded walks.
rodon pitched like the pitcher we thought we got. 9 Ks and 25 swing & miss in 6 innings. definitely potg.
honorables include soto whose HR started it off. another hit. on base 3 out of 4. weaver also honorable w a 5 out save when the game could have slipped away. stanton makes the list w an insurance HR, a walk and 2 runs scored and 2 other just misses as he continues his hot PS hitting. holmes also threw another scoreless inning. some great catches by judge. and wells for throwing out a few strike 3s and just keeping rodon settled.
