We can use media logic as well they want to brag about how Cole hasn't lost since may well the Yankees haven't lost a home series since April they win this home series and they will be up 3-2.

Its true that several times balls almost went out. They may not have gone out because we faced ace pitchers or it may have been bad luck. I don't know. When a hitter gets a great pitch to hit and just misses it, I don't it's relevant who the pitcher is, It's just bad luck for the batter. If it was a great pitch to hit. Maybe it was a great pitch to make contact with and not drive it out of the park. Some pitchers give up very few home runs. |

I am though enjoying your increased participation on the forum during the playoffs. You got it. Always been my #1 team my entire life. I just can't believe last week the discussion overall was ok Yankees will be behind 2-1 after 3 because they'll lose to Verlander/Cole and beat Grienke. That's exactly what happened and people are like what a sorry excuse for a team etc! |

FWIW they broke Cole's double digit strikeout streak so the media can shut up about that.

Lack of control is a frustrating item to take to bed with you after a start. You have to have at least a fragment of doubt in your head until the next start... |

Lack of control is a frustrating item to take to bed with you after a start. You have to have at least a fragment of doubt in your head until the next start... I think the rain could really help the Yankees. It puts some decisions on Houston if the Yankees win game 4 and tie it. Do you go to Verlander in Game 5 on the road when he is homer prone this year and take away the chance of him starting game 6 or 7 since there are no off days? If you go Verlander in Game 5 and you lose do you go Cole on 3 days rest in Game 6 with your season the line or do you trust a bullpen game on Game 6? Save Cole for 7*? The Yankees then get Tanaka in Game 4, Paxton in Game 5, and the bullpen game that would have been game 4 is now maybe game 6 which gives the yankees the advantage. This all hinges on the Yankees winning game 4 of course. |

Now the problem is after tomorrow's game is rained out, we will play 4 straight games in 4 days and none of our relievers have pitched 3 days in a row all season. Sure, Houston faces the same problem but they have starters that will give them more length. I think we can win Game 4 with Tanaka vs Greinke on Thursday. Then we can get to Verlander on Friday. That will put us up 3-2 going back to Houston. My guess is then, back's against the wall, Houston pitches Cole on short rest in Game 6. We will have to win one in Houston with a tired bullpen to eek out this series. Things are about to get very interesting.

That's exactly what happened and people are like what a sorry excuse for a team etc! I have always been bemused when arguing the Yankees are making bad decisions is seen by those who disagree as a mark of not being a fan. I stuck with the Yankee for a very long time, I am almost certainly the longest member on this board and for years I did the baseball game threads pretty much alone. I simply do not agree with many of the present strategies and theories of management. It is true that I am pessimistic by nature - and that influences my comments. I think that is also true of those who see no problems with the Yankees. Either way it has nothing to do with being a fan. |
