WIN METHOD 2017 SEASON - INJURIES - PERSEVERANCE - BLOOM AND GROW

Hello WIN METHOD  fans.  This season, as so many youngsters bloom and grow, has had far too many downs.  To be contending for the division title with all the injuries our players and team have sustained is remarkable and displays the character of our players and team.  We will overcome no matter what is thrown at us.

The 2017 disabled list (DL) has included Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, Tyler Austin, Starlin Castro, Didi Gregorius, Aaron Hicks, Jacoby Ellsbury, Matt Holiday, CC Sabathia, Adam Warren, Aroldis Chapman, James Kaprielian, Gleyber Torres, Clarke Schmidt, and Dustin Fowler.   Several of these players have had their season ended.   For a few of these men recovery will take many months and they can only look forward to 2018.   The others can still contribute this season.  I just want to give a special shout out to Dustin Fowler whose injury may be the most devastating.   I have had a special liking for Dustin for a long time now and I will pray for his healing, full recovery, and return to the YANKEES in 2018.

It is truly hard to believe, that with all the injuries, this team is still right in the thick of the pennant race.   The character of these WIN METHOD players is their crutch, the attitude they display when challenged with adversity is magnificent.
They play with one goal, for the TEAM to WIN.  Everyone contributes, and they win or lose as a team.   The goal is always the playoffs and beyond, in the past, now, and in the future.   These WIN METHOD men will fight to the end.

With every setback, the door of opportunity opens for another player.   Hopefully another youngster will race through the door and seize the chance before they expected.

As WIN METHOD fans, unquestionably the smartest and most knowledgeable baseball fans in the world, we support or team, ownership, management, players, and coaches.   We don't whine and cry, and we don't criticize and blame.
We leave that to, yes you guessed it, the stat fraud losers of the world.

There is most of the season left to play and we will persevere, playing the best we can.   We will continue to bloom and grow.  The draft was wonderful and the WIN METHOD got what it wanted in several draftees.   Our number one selection will be something to look forward to.  LETS GO YANKEES.

Yanks up 6-1 after 2.

will-i-am said...

Observation, MLB umpires are not very bright nor are they very good at logic, common sense, and the rules.

Steve said...

will-i-am... If you are talking about the play a few minutes ago, you are totally correct. The runner interfered with play and broke several rules which any sane umpire would have easily called. He deliberately ran out of the baseball trying to interfere with a throw to a fielder and then he slid into second base illegally by not sliding to the base but at the fielder. Then the umpires throw Girardi out of the game for pointing out how stupid they are.

candycane said...

Yanks up 7-1 after 4.

candycane said...

Yanks up 8-1 after 6.

yankeeclipper said...

Tanaka still in starting the 7th up 8-1. After tough 1st inning has looked pretty good.

Steve said...

To you stat frauds who hate Joe Girardi and his lineups. Castro at DH today goes 4-4 and gets pinch hit for in the 7th with the bases loaded and 1 out. Bird singles when it counts and knocks in 2 runs for a 10-1 lead. Now, we as WIN METHOD fans know better. It was not technically when it counts because being up 8-1 in the 7th the runs are just icing on the cake. The stat frauds don't know that because they con't know baseball.
Looks like Girardi is a genius today. He even got himself kicked out of the game to go have early dinner with his family. Now that is great managing.

Yankeeforever said...

Steve, that is really funny. But in a sad way because it is true.

Hal Jenks said...

Yankees get the laugher and lead 10-1 after 8.

candycane said...

Yanks up 10-1 after 8.

Hobbs said...

Caleb Smith pitches the 8th and 9th innings today and that gives the rest of the bullpen the day off and well rested going into the new week. Smith, by the way goes 6 up 6 down.

will-i-am said...

Final 10-1 win handed to Yanks in first inning. And a series win.

jimbo said...

We needed a game like this today. Now the Indians for 3 and the sux for 4. Big week has be enter the home stretch run.

Hobbs. said...

Steve, you seem bitter regarding stat frauds. You are just one of who knows how many here banned by the fake baseball forums who can't stand nor accept the truth. Good post guy.

Steve said...

Hobbs, no question about being bitter. You go to their forums, present your opinion and they ban you for expressing your opinion because they can't defend their garbage stats in a debate and they can't defeat wins in a debate. They are asked to post here where they will not get banned, but don't because of the same reasons as above. They have nothing but lies and convoluted made up formulas that mean nothing.

Izy Hernandez said...

Three with Cleveland in the Bronx starting tomorrow. Louie Louie, Garcia, and CC projected Yankee starters.

bigbadwolf said...

Been there done that Steve.

Sharon/NC said...

Silence is golden Yankee fans.

Jill Byrnes said...

Sharon/NC --- Agree, let the men on the field do the talking.

yankeeclipper said...

This is the most honest most fairest forum/blog I have ever posted at bar none.

Raul Vasquez said...

Keep playing one game at a time. Louie Louie hopefully can get us a win tomorrow with some help from his friends.

Tommy Lee said...

No word yet on when Romine and Sanchez suspensions will happen.

johnsondc said...

I won't bore you with the obvious. Everyone here knows what needs to b e done and how it can be accomplished. ----- LETS GO YANKEES -----

Quay Ho said...

In any case, the pennant race will be solid building block for the youngsters.

Domenic said...

How about going lefty tonight against Kluber and maybe a couple of guys hit the seats.

Gardner lf Ellsbury cf Hicks rf Bird 1b Headley 3b Didi ss Castro 2b Sanchez c Judge dh or even sit Judge.

Great call Domenic. They sit Judge and use Frazier 3b (for defense) and he is hitting just as well as Judge.

Steve said...

Domenic, great thinking on your part. Almost identical with the professionals. You make my point of smart knowledgeable fans posting here, while I am sure on the fake stat fraud forums they will whine about the lineup and demean the manager.

Wilsonsway said...

Just have to produce when it matters, get solid pitching, and win as many games as we can.

Phil Jenkins said...

Louie Louie hopefully gives us a gem tonight.

Teena/Bronx said...

To my team. I am proud of you and what you have accomplished this season no matter the outcome. Play the best you can. Lets go Yankees.

Jen Vitter said...

Teena/Bronx, That is sweet.

YankeeMike said...

Lets go Louie Louie, lets go Yankees.

White Knight said...

Stay in control, don't over throw Louie Louie.

Stan the Man said...

1-1 thru 4. HR for each team.

Yanks23245 said...

Yanks go down 3-2 in 7th as Louie Louie gives up 3rd solo HR.

jimbo said...

Yanks down 5-2 after 8. Louie Louie out pitched tonight.

Wilsonsway said...

Bullpen gives up a couple of runs late putting Yanks down 6-2 mid 9th.

will-i-am said...

Final 6-2 loss. Recoup tomorrow.

sid greenberg,nyc said...

Today is another day. Move forward don't look back.

Patricia Piper said...

Garcia starts tonight. Hope the bats are alive with the sound of music.

Teena/Bronx said...

Rain moving into the city and it looks like an all dayer.

sid greenberg,nyc said...

I agree with Teena. Lokking at radar and it looks to be an extensive rain. Pouring right now. I would cancel game and not reschedule if I were Yankees. Also skip Garcia in the rotation. Win win.

Gus Papa said...

And don't play two games tomorrow. Only play the canceled game 'if necessary'.

NJYANKEE said...

Tonights game canceled, doubleheader tomorrow.

Cory said...

Hopefully we get some innings out of our starters and long relievers. There is not much reason to hold back anyone. Friday we can bring up whatever is deemed necessary.

Ben Rosen/Israel said...

Hope the Yankees can win two today.

Kenny Sheperd said...

Garcia and Monty slated for today.

Harry Stavris said...

Can we win two today. That would be enormous.

Eddie OConnor said...

Today is not a day/night double header. One admission lets you see both games. There is usually about a half hour break or so between game one ending and the start of game two.

Guy Padikian said...

Wednesday 8/30 1:05pm

Same lineup as last nights canceled game which is now this game.

Walt Belamy said...

The bats need to come to the rescue. There are nine bats and only one pitcher. We need runs and and good pitching to create wins.

Augie Defonce said...

Garcia instantly puts the Yankees down by 2 in first inning.

yankeelover said...

Yankees down 2-1 after 4.

bigbadwolf said...

Today is the ninth anniversary of the WIN METHOD blog, the best Yankee and baseball discussion forum/blog in the world with now over 226 million views.

Mike Smith said...

Six complete. Garcia goes five innings and gives up two runs. Yanks down 2-1.

Wilsonsway said...

Down 2-1 after 7 and have failed every time when it mattered including a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs early in the game.

will-i-am said...

I am going to try to change our luck. Here we go. Bottom of 9th, down 2-1 facing Indian closer Cody Allen. Castro leading off. Castro strikes out swinging. Ellsbury grounds out to third base. Two out Judge pinch hitting strikes out swinging, swinging at the last two pitches there were both balls. Oh well, I tried.

Final, loss 2-1, yet another one run loss. The bats are again impotent.

jimbo said...

Yet another one run loss. 2-1.

9. Austin Romine (R) C
Second game lineup and we really need a win of this game.

Saul Irving said...

If the lineup doesn't produce runs it may make no difference how well Monty pitches. Just have to win this game.

Linda Rice said...

On the positive side we don't have to worry about Monty pitching a good game as he gives up four first inning runs and the Yanks are playing from a hole again.

NJYANKEE said...

Yanks down 4-1 after 2 but continue to fail when it matters.

Mike Smith said...

Yanks down 4-1 after 4. No ones hitting.

Patrick Healy said...

Down 6-1 after six. If we lose tonight we MUST take 3 of 4 from the sux.

Victor Grandozi said...

Yankees embarrassing themselves, down 9-1 after 8. One run in each game is not good by any means. If they play like this against the sux the division race is over and they are jeopardizing their playoff chances.

Warren Hammond said...

Happy anniversary to the best blog in baseball.

Hal Jenks said...

Bird hits a meaningless 3 run HR in the bottom of the 9th when it doesn't matter and Yankees go down 9-4 instead of 9-1.

will-i-am said...

Final, another loss, but at least it wasn't by 1 run. 9-4.

jimbo said...

The Yankee pitchers announced for the four game sux series starting tomorrow night at Yankee Stadium are CC, Gray, Tanaka, and Louie Louie.

Harry Stavris said...

The big series starts tonight, we need to win it.

Augie Defonce said...

Can we pull out a miracle and win all four games. One at a time.

Judge and Bird batting 6th and 8th. The bats need to produce when it counts, today, tomorrow, and the rest of the season.

Linda Pardo said...

Lets go guys, step up, never give in.

muchomachoman said...

Guy Padikian, your comment is so correct. Lets hope they do what you said.

yankeeclipper said...

If Jeter was leading this team they would be in first place. Leading by example. He lived it and produced more than any other player in baseball over the last 25 years. Produced more WINS. WINS determines the best players and the best teams.

Ted Lilly said...

Weird first inning. It took 30 minutes to play. Five men were left on base (sux-3, Yanks-2).
Only one man on each team put a ball in play (sux-bunt to pitcher, Yanks short fly to left). Neither team scored. 0-0 after one.

candycane said...

0-0 after 2.

candycane said...

1-1 after 4.

jimbo said...

Yankees fail again to score runner from third with less than two outs striking out on a ball that bounced before home plate.

Yankeeforever said...

CC goes six gritty innings allowing just one run and leaves leading 2-1 with the Yankees coming to bat in the sixth. A lot of character from CC.

Sal Mineo said...

First pitch to Headley in bottom of 6th, double off of the right center field wall. First pitch to Bird 2 run HR into right center field bleachers. 4-1 Yanks. Finally! we hit.

candycane said...

Yanks up 5-1 after 6.

Steve said...

Yanks take 6-1 lead after 7. However the bad is that MLB umpires are doing their best and no question they cannot get every call right. BUT, MLB has replay and what is sad the replay umpires with several conclusive views and all the time they need to get a call right, are unable to be right. Which should NEVER be the case. They missed one last night that was very obvious to the world, but them in their world of MLB incompetence. Still waiting for the home plate umpire in the Detroit brawl to be fired for gross incompetence and failure to control the game.

candycane said...

Yanks up 6-1 after 8.

jimbo said...

After Robertson pitches two scoreless innings and Yankees build lead Betances in for the 9th and starts off with a walk and then HBP the next two batters. Bases loaded no outs. What the heck is going on? Some of our guys need to get their head in the game. K's next batter, one out. Walk, score now 6-2 and the tying run for the sux comes to the plate. Infield popup, two out. Fly out to left. Yankees win 6-2.

will-i-am said...

Final 6-2 win. Need more wins.

Gloria LaCorte said...

CC gave us a good start to this series. It matters and each pitcher must do his job and earn the win. Glad to see some production from the bats. If Bird is truly back that will be a big shot in the arm.

Walt Belamy said...

Sabathia set the bar last night. One run over six innings. Sonny Gray has his turn tonight.

Eddie OConnor said...

Should be lefty lineup tonight again. Ellsbury, Gardner, Hicks in outfield. Bird, Castro, Didi, Torreyes or Frazier in infield. Sanchez catcher, Judge dh.

okiened said...

Wade a possibility? I would not think so to answer my own question. The roster is now open to 40 today.

White Knight said...

Expanding the roster might turn out to be an advantage for the Yankees since we have the best bloom and grow kids in baseball.

Tom Loughlin said...

I find it interesting that when we come into the last month of the baseball season and teams are competing for a playoff spot the stat frauds start talking of wins. Wins is the only thing that ever counts in baseball from game 1 thru game 162.

Guy Padikian said...

Friday 9/1 7:05pm
Sonny Gray (R)
vs. Red Sox - Doug Fister (R)
1. Brett Gardner (L) LF
2. Aaron Judge (R) RF

5. Starlin Castro (R) 2B
6. Greg Bird (L) 1B
7. Chase Headley (S) DH
8. Jacoby Ellsbury (L) CF
9. Todd Frazier (R) 3B
Hicks out and Headley in as designated hitter. The lineup is very strong again but it up to the players to produce when it matters that will win the game.

yankeedoodledandy said...

After winning last night this becomes a very important game to win for the obvious reasons.

Sal Mineo said...

Yanks trail 2-1 after three.

Yanks23245 said...

Yankees down 3-1 after 5 as Gray can't come close to matching yesterdays Sabathia effort.

Dave Mathews said...

The Yankees scored a run in the first inning on Gardner lead off double followed by Judge RBI double. From then on they have down absolutely nothing and trail 4-1 after seven complete.

will-i-am said...

Final 4-1 lifeless loss.

Stanley Chin said...

Tanaka goes today as our wild card lead is slip sliding away.

Teena/Bronx said...

There is the possibility of precipitation issues today.

Guy Padikian said...

Saturday 9/2 1:05pm
Masahiro Tanaka (R)
vs. Red Sox - Drew Pomeranz (L)

5. Didi Gregorius (L) SS
6. Chase Headley (S) 3B
7. Matt Holliday (R) DH
8. Greg Bird (L) 1B
9. Ronald Torreyes (R) 2B
Holliday is back and Castro is out with Torreyes in at 2b.

Raul Vasquez said...

Headley home run gives Yankees early 1-0 lead after two.

yankeeclipper said...

Holiday 3 run HR in 6th puts Yanks up 4-1 after 6.

Stan the Man said...

Yankees lead 4-1 after 6.

Yanks23245 said...

Tanaka has gone 7 innings and has given up 1 run. CC went 6 innings giving up 1 run and Gray went 7 innings giving up 4 runs. Louie Louie gets his chance tomorrow.

CC and Tanaka > Gray.

will-i-am said...

Final 5-1. Still breathing. And still in front for the wild card. Only losses can hurt us.

Fred Slube said...

Strong outings from CC and Tanaka for wins. Mediocre outing from Gray for the loss.

Nick Polito said...

WINS are all that matters.

Victor Grandozi said...

The win today guarantees the season series with the sux. We are 10-8 with only one more game to go.

Lori Kelly said...

We now have a chance to win this series after having guaranteed a split at minimum. Never give up and never give in. Yes we can.

Izy Hernandez said...

Almost every game in baseball comes down to which team produces the most when it matters. Runaway games really don't matter.

Hobbs said...

Izy, you mean when it matters hits once the game is a rout don't matter?

Val Avery said...

Louie Louie goes tonight for the series.

Xavier Young said...

It was sure nice to see Holiday come up with the game defining hit yesterday. I wonder if he would have been in the lineup if Castro did not have his tooth issue.

Barry West said...

The espn Sunday night game is a cancer on MLB baseball, one of many stains on a poorly run organization with the best game in sports.

Guy Padikian said...

Sunday 9/3 7:35pm

7. Matt Holliday (R) DH
8. Todd Frazier (R) 3B
9. Jacoby Ellsbury (L) CF
Hicks out with an injury. Need Louie Louie to shut the sux down like CC and Tanaka.

johnsondc said...

Hicks likely out for the rest of the season with oblique strain again.

johnny said...

Lets go Yankees.

candycane said...

0-0 after 2.

sid greenberg,nyc said...

Headley Ballantine blast for 1-0 lead after three.

Yankeeforever said...

Headley solo HR in 3rd puts Yanks up 1-0.

will-i-am said...

Holiday and Frazier with back to back homers in 4th give Yanks 3-0 lead and still batting. Yanks making Sale work, up to 90 pitches.

candycane said...

Yanks up 3-0 after 4.

candycane said...

Yanks up 9-1 after 6.

Cory said...

Yankees load the bases and score 6 runs with 2 outs when Sanchez beats out an infield RBI single, Castro hits 3 RBI base clearing double, and Judge hits 2 run HR. Take 9-1 lead.

Tommy Lee said...

Severino goes six complete allowing one unearned run. Leaves leading 9-1.

Yankeeclipper said...

Kahnle in for the seventh.

Matt Cooper said...

Kahnle and Shreve with six consecutive outs in 7th and 8th.

jimbo said...

Galegos in for the 9th.

Eddie OConnor said...

Galegos with a shaky 9th inning allowing a run but closes it out for a 9-2 win.

will-i-am said...

Final 9-2 win which allows the bullpen a good rest. Keep it going guys.

yankeelover said...

Take 3 of 4 from the sux and on to Baltimore.

reinvaldez said...

The lineup may have come alive and maybe at just the right time. Hope it lasts for a while.

Gil McKenzie said...

Monty starts today in Baltimore. Hope it does what CC, Tanaka, and Louie Louie did in their last starts.

Lou Lis said...

Last nights game ended at 11:30PM. Shower, grab a bite to eat, bus to airport, fly to Baltimore, bus to hotel. In bed by maybe 5:00AM? Back to ballpark by noon? for a 2:00PM game. Yes we can.

Romine catching. Headley dh. Sanchez out for series serving three game suspension.

Phil Jenkins said...

Game time fans. Lets go Yankees. A WIN is all that matters.

Benny Pake said...

Yanks down 3-0 after 2. Monty has surrendered 2 HRs.

Benny Pake said...

3-3 after 4.

yankeedoodledandy said...

Monty goes 4 2/3 innings and is relieved by Green with a man of first. Green gets 3rd out to finish inning with Yanks up 5-3 after 5.

Tony Manchu said...

Yankees leading 7-3 after six with seven unanswered runs after falling behind early 3-0.

Yankeeforever said...

Betances gives up HR with 2 out in 9th to spoil the bullpens shutout, gets final out and Yanks win 7-4.

will-i-am said...

Final, Yanks win 7-4. Monty kept it close and Green earns the win in relief with 2 1/3 perfect innings.

bigbadwolf said...

WINS cures all.....when you win no one can gain on you and each day brings the end of the regular season closer as the finish line nears.

Deb F said...

Winning the first game of a series is always good. Now to not let up. CC goes tomorrow and all we need is wins.

yankeedoodledandy said...

The lineup produced against a good pitcher today without Holiday, Sanchez, and Hicks in it.

Nathan Riley said...

The one thing about playing in Baltimore, our pitchers may give up a few more runs, but our lineup scores a few more runs. Just need to keep earning wins as a team where everyone contributes.

Victor Grandozi said...

The Sanchez ban was reduced from 4 to 3 days. Sanchez now will only miss the Oriole series. We have won the game he has missed, just need to win the other two.

Gary Shrieber said...

I would like to see Bird start hitting the ball hard with more consistency and become a force the opposing pitchers have to deal with.

Zack Norris said...

How about this WIN METHOD fans, all of the Yankee major minor league teams have made the playoffs this season. Scranton, Trenton, Tampa, Charleston, Pulaski. That portends well for the future as so many players are blooming and growing at all levels.

Boston/Yankee said...

Producing when it counts win games, win enough games and make the playoffs, nothing else matters.

NJYANKEE said...

The Yankees with the stealth direction of WIN METHOD have built the best minor league system in baseball.

John Hartnett said...

NJYANKEE, that is without doubt. Plus the team is contending this season.

Carl Hooks said...

Not only is the WIN METHOD a great evaluation tool, but the entire philosophy of playing for the team to win rather than for individual statistics is what sets it apart from anything else in baseball. Plus there is nobody better than WIN METHOD at what he does.

Guy Padikian said...

Tuesday 9/5 7:05pm
CC Sabathia (L)
@ Orioles - Jeremy Hellickson (R)
1. Brett Gardner (L) LF

7. Todd Frazier (R) 3B
8. Jacoby Ellsbury (L) CF
9. Austin Romine (R) C
Another solid lineup. All they need to do is produce when it counts.

jimbo said...

It is what it is. The WIN METHOD is the greatest evaluation tool baseball has ever known.

Deb F said...

Headley gets the day off today. You can't play everyone. Hicks and young Frazier are on the DL. They both could be in the lineup. Sanchez is serving suspension.

FACTOID::::---- The WIN METHOD since its inception has never had a losing season.

Also it has the highest win percentage of all teams in MLB over its tenure.

reinvaldez said...

Anonymous...Mucho bueno.

Quay Ho said...

Just about game time. Lets go Yankees.

Stan the Man said...

Rain delay. Looks like it should be between 1-2 hours.

Mike Smith said...

Taking tarp off field. Projected start time @ 9:15.

Yanks23245 said...

Game is starting now. Over two hour delay.

jimbo said...

Yankees leading 6-3 after five. For some reason I have bad vibes about this game. Hope it is just the hour of night.

Yankee lead down to 6-5 after 6. CC goes 5 1/3 and allows all 5 runs.

KevMac said...

Chapman pitching the 8th in a 1 run game. And gets O's out 1,2,3. Yanks clinging by their fingernails to a 1 run lead as they haven't been able to push over another run with several chances.

jimbo said...

Betances blows game in 9th giving up 2 out 2 run HR. I told you I had bad vibes about this game.

Final 7-6 loss after being up 6-1. Another blown game by a closer. And another one run loss.

Tony Gigante said...

Another sleepless nightmare filled night last night. But I am at work.

RLA said...

I can't be happy about things for more than a couple of days. As soon as things are seemingly going great the Yanks snatch defeat from the jaws of victory to make things bad again. It's uncanny.

Phil Jenkins said...

Sonny Gray tonight to win a series we should have already won. This season has been a roller coaster ride.

Saul Irving said...

We gave the game away last night as a team...from CC's poor effort...to the lineup poor production but for one inning that was helped by a dropped fly ball...to Betances utter failure again to save the game.

Larry Kennedy said...

Yes it is raining in Baltimore. We need to win every time we play.

Norm Jackson said...

Every game from the first to the last has the same value. The difference of what creates pressure is in April and May when you are 10 games out of first place you still feel you have time to make them up because you know there are well over 100 games to be played. In September when you are a few games from making the playoffs and there are only 25 games left each one is very important because you either win and make the playoffs or go home because there are no more games of value once you are eliminated.

We need to win and win and win.

Sam Anderson said...

The only way we miss the playoffs is by losing. We can't be caught if we win. Nothing else matters.

Tonights game rained out. Afternoon game tomorrow on scheduled off day.

jimbo said...

Almost glad for rainout tonight. Need a rest after last night.

Domenic said...

Same lineup from yesterdays rained out game. Still need to win today.

Jack Gordon said...

My personal feeling with baseball is that players are inordinately overpaid. Too many players do not have the passion to win. The worst part of all this is the fans pay through the nose if they want to go to the game, especially with a family.

Cal Fuerst said...

Yankees take early 3-0 lead in first on Gregorius 2 out RBI double followed by Judge 2 run HR.

yankeedoodledandy said...

Yanks build 7-0 lead after four.

NJYANKEE said...

Adam Warren on DL with back pain.

Billy Tedder said...

8-1 lead after 6 creates a laugher win for a change. Gives us this series which we should have swept.

Cory said...

9-1 lead after 8. One more inning and one more win.

will-i-am said...

Final 9-1 win. Wire to wire. Bullpen flawless.

Augie Defonce said...

Now on to Texas and win another series.

Hobbs said...

Tanaka, Louie Louie, and Monty likely for Texas series.

Robert Mandel said...

Warren out hurts more than you may think. He and Green do the same job. And in back to back games they complimented each other. Now there is no Warren.

yankeeclipper said...

Heller looked great pitching the 9th today and closing out game. BUT, pitching with a 9-1 lead doesn't put pressure on the pitcher as coming in with a 1 or 2 run lead.

Gloria LaCorte said...

All out drive to the finish on now to make the playoffs. Only wins will get a team there.

Zhaire said...

Tanaka pitches well and the lineup produces when it counts tonight = a win tonight.
