WIN METHOD YANKEE BASEBALL 2024 PLAYOFFS
Hello YANKEE fans and baseball fans from around the world. The YANKEES are in the playoffs, and finished the American League regular season with the best record in the league, earning the the number one seed in the AL playoffs. They will start the playoffs, as of now, on Saturday October fifth at YANKEE Stadium and will play the winning team from the Kansas City Royals and Baltimore Orioles playoff round.
It was a long and hard journey to the playoff, with many ups and downs along the way. The YANKEES started off the season very strong, faltered in June and July, then finished strong in September to earn the top spot in the playoffs. It must be said again, only the best players and best teams are in the playoffs, and through the playoffs the best players and best teams will win each round and move on to the ultimate goal of being the World Series winner.
As with every other team, the YANKEES had their injuries. Injuries to start the season, through the season, at the end of the season, and yes, in the playoffs. As fans, all we can do is root for and support our team, stay positive and leave the negative comments to all the 'loser' forums and fans on the internet. LETS TO YANKEES. Win of lose, LETS GO YANKEES.
As always I would like to thank you, the fans of this blog. You have reached record numbers for views of the WIN METHOD blog this year. The views of this blog have been overwhelming - over these last few months, reaching higher and higher monthly views than ever before. To be honest I believe the Presidential race has something to do with the large number of views. THANK YOU fans, everyone of you who comes here to the WIN METHOD YANKEE baseball blog, the best in the world, with the smartest, most knowledgeable, and intelligent baseball fans.
Remember, baseball is not played on paper with meaningless stats that some not so smart fans live and die by. Baseball is played on the field by teams of multiple players doing the best they can. The teams, with all the players on each team, who win the most, by producing when it counts and matters the most, always win. All the players on each team contribute to the success of their team. That is the WIN METHOD. The WIN METHOD is baseball at its best.
In a few days the YANKEE will get to show what they have in the playoffs. Producing when it counts and matters most will make the difference. WIN METHOD baseball is the difference. WIN METHOD baseball will determine the best players and the best team when the playoffs are concluded. Only wins and winning will ever define the best players and teams.
LETS GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!

Tigers beat Astros 3-1. Great game.
Coincidence? After watching the KC-Houston game came here. Saw the new blog post by WIN METHOD, and heck, didn't it fit to a tee, the game I just watched. KC produced and the Astros failed to produce. KC wins the game. Great blogpost WIN METHOD. Thanks.
All I can add, is thank you WIN METHOD for all the compliments, and thank you for the WIN METHOD blog. It is the only baseball forum worth coming to. LETS GO YANKEES.
Ray Freeman, it was Detroit playing Houston.
KC beats O's 1-0. KC produced one time when it mattered most, the O's had chances and never did. End of story, the team who produced won, the team that didn't lost.
Mets and Brewers in a battle. Brewers up 4-3 after four.
Mets lead Brewers 8-4 thru seven. Whole lot of producing when it mattered most by the Mets.
Mets take game one over Brewers 8-4.
Halfway thru VP debate. Vance destroying Walz on every issue.
Padres 3 Braves 0 after six innings.
Final, Padres over Braves 4-0.
Four more playoff round games today.
The best players and the best team win each game, each series, all the time.
CBS pulled an ABC last night. It is hard to have an honest and fair debate when the moderators are one sided and corrupt. Moderator questions were biased and often the preface to questions attacked Trump while not even one question attacked Harris. Moderators even muted Vance's microphone when he challenged a moderator comment about a Vance correct answer to a question. Liberals and manure are hand and hand.
Fort Liberty formerly Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, NC has a base full of helicopters that could be used for aide to western NC towns, villages, and cities bringing water, food, fuel, medical supplies, and evacuations. But the Biden/Harris/Cooper triumvirate of criminal liberals have not given the 'go ahead' for there use. No comment from the three stooges.
Conclusion, they are likely MAGA voters, to hell with them.
Detroit leads Houston 1-0 after six innings.
KC early 1-0 lead over Orioles after two.
Tigers knock off Astros 5-2. Tigers will face the Indians in Cleveland for next round of AL playoffs. Astros go home.
Kansas City eliminates the O's with a 2-1 win. KC heads to New York to face the Yankees Saturday. The O's head home to watch.
Mets on top of Brewers 3-2 thru five.
Brewers down Met 5-3, even series, final game tomorrow, winner moves to next round, loser goes home.
San Diego Padres knock out the Atlanta Braves from the playoffs with a 5-4 win. The Padres move on to the NLDS round and play the LA Dodgers in the next round of the playoffs.
Rubber game today between Mets and Brewers. Winner advances to next playoff round. Loser's season is over.
The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration has no money for American flood victims. They gave it all to Iran, countries that hate America, terrorists, illegal criminal immigrants that are over-running America.
So, are you stupid enough to vote for the liberal, progressive, radical left-wing democrats again? ARE YOU REALLY THAT STUPID????
SAVE AMERICA ---- VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP AND MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
Update: Met-Brewer game is 7PM tonight on espn.
First two games of ALDS with KC at Yankee Stadium are Saturday and Monday. Cole starts Saturday and Rodon Monday.
Pitchers duel, Mets 0 - Brewers 0 after six full innings.
Mets down 2-0 score 4 ninth inning runs, 3 on a when it matters most HR from Pete Alonso for a 4-2 win and a trip to the NLDS.
Down to eight teams in the MLB playoffs, and New York City has two of them.
I do not like bringing politics into the devastation of hurricane Helene, but sometimes oddities and coincidences are not what they seem. Could there be a reason? Hurricane Helene has taken the lives of people is six states in the southeast. Florida was the state that the hurricane struck first with all its force and surge. Georgia was second to face the wrath of Helene, next up was South Carolina, then North Carolina, Virginia , and last Tennessee.
Now look at the death toll by state. Five states have republican governors, smart, sane, and for the people governors. One state has a democrat governor. Now look at the death totals by state.
The one state, the one with a democrat governor, had more deaths than the other five states combined. Again, ask yourself why. Oddity? coincidence? or policies and incompetence?
Here is a state-by-state list showing the number of confirmed deaths as of this morning, according to CBS:
North Carolina: 111
South Carolina: 41
Georgia: 33
Florida: 19
Tennessee: 11
Virginia: 2
Woody/Atlanta, interesting post. Using common sense and reasoning. I would think that the worst death tolls should have occurred in Florida and Georgia, the first two states that hurricane Helene passed through and while being at its most powerful stage. Hurricanes do not get stronger when traveling over land masses. So, it looks to me like it may malfeasance on the part of the governor of North Carolina.
No deaths are acceptable, but I would not use Virginia in the numbers at all. The two deaths in Virginia to not sway the death total and percentage to any significant degree.
I also find the number of deaths in NC telling and unusual. Likely most due to unpreparedness. If that is the case, being unprepared falls on the head of the governor.

You all know the drill. Great pitching, when it matters most hitting carries the day.
LETS GO YANKEES
I'm not asking for much, but would love everyone on the team to out from this break hitting and pitching as best they can and win the next three series.
Five left bats in lineup, out ace starting, get off on the right foot and play to win. Think and do.
Cleveland leading Detroit 7-0 playing the top of seventh.
Lets go Yankees.
Yanks down 1-0 after 2.
Mets take game one of their series with the Phillies 6-2.
Cole not sharp, struggling, and getting hit hard. Has given up 3 runs in 4 innings and trails 3-2.
5-5 after 6.
Verdugo, two out rbi single gives Yankees 6-5 lead after seven innings.
Yankees win a nail biter 6-5. Cole kept the Royals in the game, pitching a clunker. Off day tomorrow.
Tough win, bullpen did their job, earning the win and the save. 6-5.
Yankees take game one 6-5. Verdugo game winning hit, Weaver four out no drama save, Holmes the win. Cabrera brilliant defense at first base all night. Now the bad, Cole pitched a garbage game giving up four runs in four innings. Stanton totally useless. Judge a bad game. Volpe run costing error. So, the Yankees played a bad game and still won.
Yankees played like they played all season. You never know what you get from them, from game to game. Got the win, 6-5. Starter, Cole had nothing giving up 4 runs and only going 4 innings. Volpe an error giving KC runs. Then the bullpen was sparkling.
Down, up, down, up down, even, up, win. That is how the game went for the 6-5 win.
Weaver got a four out save, struck out three and a weak roller to first base. He does throw strikes, and his pitches seem to move, not much hard contact off him. Every once in a while, which happens to every pitcher, but he is doing something right.
And one more time, Stanton should not be playing, nor on the team. Long term contracts tend to bite franchises.
Great win. Gotta tip my cap to Verdugo, two big hits including the game winner, and a nice sliding catch. Torres and Soto were good, Wells, Cabrera, and Jazz all had contributions. Cole, Judge, Stanton, and Volpe came up empty.
Holmes, Kahnle and Weaver shut down the last 3 1/3 innings.
Dodgers lead Padres 7-5 thru seven.
LA 7 SD5. Last at bat by Machado with two on and two out, one of the most pathetic I have seen. Very Stanton like, swinging into thin air and the ball not near the strike zone.
A squeaker yesterday. Yankees just 2-13 when it mattered most. That kept KC close and in the game. The win is what counts, everything else is just numbers.
Mets lead 2-0 thru four innings.
Mets 4 Phillies 3 starting the 8th innings. Come on guys, hold on.
Phillies win 7-6 on walk off rbi single. Series even at 1.
San Diego leads Los Angeles 3-1 after three innings.
Padres lead Dodgers 4-1 after 7.
Final - Padres 10 Dodgers 2. Series tied at one game each.
October, 7, 2024, today marks the one-year anniversary of when middle east Islamic terrorists with the support of the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration sneak attacked and slaughter over 1200 Israeli citizens in Israel and captured hundreds more and are holding, the ones still alive hostage. The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration is a disgrace to America and the American people. Their reign of terror must be ended. This can be done with your votes on November 5, 2024 or anytime you vote in the early voting time period in your state.
I would like to see is Dominquez at DH but I know that has no chance of happening unless Stanton pulls another hammy which is very difficult to do when walking around the bases. Having someone in the middle of the lineup who can’t move is not sustainable unless he is putting up monster offensive stats, which he clearly isn't.

Grieving North Carolina families blast FEMA for hurricane 'cover up'
©REUTERS / AP
Grieving families in North Carolina have been forced to bury their loved ones in their backyards - and are accusing authorities of downplaying the damage caused by Hurricane Helene. The official death toll rose to 227 over the weekend - half of whom were from North Carolina - but state and federal officials told The Spectator that this number is woefully inaccurate.
Many bodies haven't even been recovered amid debris and flooding with some not even identified. They are being transported all over the state in hopes of finding open morgue space. 'According to folks on the ground - fire, medical, law enforcement officials - they’re way underreporting the numbers. All the morgues are full and they’ve hauled a ton [of bodies] to Greensboro,' the state official said. 'People are starting to bury them in their yards because they have no place to put them.
One individual who was in Asheville when Helene hit told The Spectator: 'It's so much worse than they're saying...I think there's a massive cover-up.' The destruction from Helene, and the immense multi-state death toll, comes just days before Category 5 Hurricane Milton is set to barrel into Florida's coastline. Helene made landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida at night on September 26 before laying waste to Georgia and the Carolinas with record storm surges and tornados. North Carolina alone had six confirmed tornados on the morning of September 27, two days before 500 members of state's national guard were deployed to help with rescue efforts.
Locals say they are 'pissed' at General Major Todd Hunt, director of the North Carolina National Guard, for waiting a whole 48 hours to get boots on the ground. There were 5,500 national guardsmen deployed around this time, some of them from other states such as Florida. 'That’s why you saw the Florida National Guard and other units out there - and why private citizens stepped in, even as state and federal officials tried to shut down their efforts,' an anonymous source familiar with the situation in North Carolina told The Spectator.
The small mountain town of Swannanoa dealt with flood levels not seen since 1791, and locals have said their community was ' entirely erased .' This comes days after a whistleblower wrote a letter to Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., that details how the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has wasted and misappropriated funds in the wake of Helene and is now ' exacerbating the emergency.'
The letter to Gaetz also alleges 'hundreds if not thousands' of first responders and service members have been 'without deployment orders' with some waiting around in hotels while others 'have sat idle' as Americans throughout the southeast are in dire need. Last week, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted that FEMA ran out of money to make it through the hurricane season , after it handed out more than $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to give housing assistance to illegal migrants over the last two years.
YOU VOTE FOR A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT EVER, --- YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
Tigers and Indians 0-0 thru 8 innings, BUT in the 9th the Tigers Kerry Carpenter, when it mattered most, hits a 3-run home run for a 3-0 lead. Playing the bottom of 9th now. Popfly out to center, strike out, strike out. Tigers win, series even at one game each.
Handllemanforwhatisright, listen to the people who lived through the hurricane. Forget the lies the liberal left wing tells. The people helping those in need are neighbors, and the many groups of charities who are doing what our government is NOT doing. These volunteer men and women are saving lives and lending a helping hand to anyone who needs help. These are true Americans, who have nothing to do with left wing politics.
0-0 after 2.
Yanks score 1 in bottom of third for a 1-0 lead and then Rodon implodes in fourth giving up 4 runs. Will not be happy if Yanks lose tonight.
Yes, I am evacuating tomorrow.
Yanks down 4-1 after six. Not producing when it mattered most. Have three innings left to right the ship.
Too little too late. Chisholm hits solo HR in ninth, but Yanks go down 4-2. Series even.
Rodon gave up 4 runs in 4th inning and that was all KC needed for a 4-2 win. Yankee lineup could not deliver when they had the chances. Series even and head to KC for the next 2 games.
Dull effort from lineup. Rodon over-hyped to start game and was fine for three innings. In the fourth he went flat giving up all four Royals runs and took the 4-2 loss.
Schmidt to start game three Wednesday in Kansas City.
With Yanks loss tonight, all for league division series are tied at one game for all eight teams.
I expected more than what I got tonight from the Yankees. Oh well, this is how the regular season went. They can win or lose any game, the can look great one day and look horrible the next day.
Rodon killed himself last night. Fist pumping, screaming and yelling, over hyped in the first couple of innings. You would have thought he was closing out a game in the last inning or two to save a win. After three innings of his theatrics he had nothing in the fourth inning, allowed four runs, and lost the game. He brought on his own demise.
Mets 2 Phillies 0 after 4 innings.
My Mets win 7-2. Lead NLDS 2 game to 1.
Slugfest in San Diego. Padres 6 Dodgers 5 through four innings.
6-5 after 4th inning. Zeroes on board for the rest of game, Padres win 6-5 and take 2-1 lead in best of five series.
Yankees in KC tonight for two games in which is now a three game series. Always good to win the first game. Got to get five innings of shutout ball from Schmidt and four more shutout innings from the bullpen. Get a few runs from the offense and win it tomorrow all tomorrow.
When the scum sucking joe-bama/commie MALADY administration and their will cronies and cohorts call something mis-information, you can bet your bottom dollar that what they are calling mis-information is the God honest truth. VOTE TRUMP-VANCE AND FOR ALL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES ALL ACROSS AMERICA. SAVE AMERICA.
In the first two games of this series the Yanks had a great chance to score first but Judge let them down with two poor at bats. I think that caused his teammates to press even more. After Rodon's solid first inning last night and with Ragan looking flustered after two walks, if Judge came through with just a single it might have been a totally different ballgame.
In my opinion Rodon was waaaaay too pumped at the beginning Monday night. I have to wonder if he just exhausted himself quicker than usual because of it. He sure does show a lot of emotion, and he may even be a basket case deep down inside.
Tigers lead Indians 2-0 after three.

It is what we got and it is what it is. Players just have to do it when it matters most on the field.
Tigers down the Tribe 3-0, taking a 2 game to 1 lead in series.
From what I have seen the American League has better teams overall.
Yanks up 1-0 after 4.
Congrats NYMetfan1986. Mets their NLDS over Phillies 4-1 and will play winner of the Padres/Dodgers series in the NLCS.
With two outs and no one on in the fifth innings and with a 2-0 lead Schmidt folds and allows a single, double, and triple for a 2-2 tie, and then is taken out of the game. A massive failure when it mattered most.
2-2 after 7.
Yankees win another squeaker 3-2. Stanton the offense and hero. Bullpen brilliant once again, with Kahnle earning the win and Weaver the save.
Yanks win 3-2 and take 2-1 game lead in series. Can take series with a win tomorrow night in KC.
Yankees win a nailbiter. Stanton rbi double and solo HR the two big hits of the game for Yankees. Schmidt gives up two runs for the only blemish on the pitching ledger for the Yankees. Yanks can take this series tomorrow in KC. KC must win to force a deciding fifth game.
Dodgers lead Padres 5-0 after five innings.
Dodgers lead Padres 8-0 thru seven innings.
Dodgers trounce Padres 8-0 to even series at two. Final game of series tomorrow in LA. Winner goes to NLCS to play Mets, loser goes home.
Cole gets a chance to redeem himself tonight. All goose eggs and a win or another failure?

Four righthanded batters against a lefthanded pitcher, that's a small change.
Detroit leads Cleveland 3-2 after six.
Yanks lead 1-0 after three.
Indians nip Tigers 5-4 to force a winner takes all fifth game back in Cleveland with series even at two games each.
Soto, Torres, and Stanton rbi singles have Yankees on top 3-1 after six innings.
Theeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnn, 3-1.
Yankees win 3-1and advance to the ALCS to play the winner of the final Detroit/Cleveland game.
Yankees win 3-1 and advance to the ALCS. Cole gives up 1 run in seven innings for the win. Holmes pitches and easy 8th inning for the hold, and Weaver pitches the 9th inning with no drama and earns the save. Stanton, Torres, and Soto each with a rbi hit for all the offense.
Solid outing from Cole tonight. Any start for seven innings and allowing just one run is a great start. Three run producing singles from Soto, Stanton, and Torres for the Yankee runs. And then there is the bullpen, only two innings needed tonight and Holmes and Weaver delivered for the win.
Barack HUSSEIN Obama, the terrorist sympathizer and enabler, is joining COMMIE Harris on her "Death to America" campaign trail this final month leading up to election day.
VOTE TRUMP-VANCE and all REPUBLICANS. Bury HUSSEIN and COMMIE, the scum.
As of now and barring and rain event delays, the Yankees will open the ALCS against either Detroit or Cleveland on Monday night at home in Yankee Stadium with the second game scheduled for Tuesday night.
I would think Rodon will start game one of the ALCS. Hope it calms down and just does his job.
Dodgers 1 Padres 0 after 3 innings.
Six inning pitching duel in LA. Dodgers lead 1-0.
Final. Dodgers win 2-0 and advance to the NLCS. The Dodgers will host the Mets for the first two games in Los Angeles.
Detroit Tigers - Cleveland Indians game today has been rescheduled to 1 PM today instead of the original 8 PM start due to weather front moving into Cleveland area. The Yankees will play todays winning team in the ALCS starting Monday in New York.
Three innings complete. Detroit and Cleveland scoreless.
Cleveland scores 5 runs in fifth inning off Tiger phenom ace Skubal and take 5-1 lead after five innings.
Indians up 6-3 through seven.
Cleveland tops Detroit 7-3 and earns a trip to New York to play the Yankees in the ALCS.
Bummer for me.
Cleveland 7 Detroit 3. Final four teams decided for MLB playoffs. The ALCS and NLCS will be the best of seven series and the two winning teams will play in the World Series.
Cleveland Indians will play the New York Yankees in the ALCS. New York Mets will play the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS.
OK Yankee fans, the Yanks have move to the next round and will be at home in Yankee Stadium to face the Cleveland Indians Monday night at 7:30 PM. As of now Yanks are determining who will start the game, Schmidt or Rodon. Cole will likely start game two on Tuesday night.
The MLB league championship series are sort of a subway series. The Mets and the Yankees are both playing in the series, but not each other.
Lets go Yankees
The Indians may have momentum and confidence on their side coming off a big win over the Tigers and a top pitcher, but each series is on its own with a different opponent. Lets go Yankees!
Yankees still haven't named game one starter. Cole will start game two. Each time will likely need and start at least four different starters. First game Monday night in the Bronx.
The Yankees will start Rodon in game one of the ALCS against Cleveland tomorrow night.
With Rodon and Cole starting games one and two, logically Schmidt and Gil will start games three and four.
Dodgers have scored early and often, leading the Mets 6-0 after four innings.
Dodgers destroy Mets 9-0 to take 1-0 lead in their best of seven series. Don't fret Mets fans, it is only one game and the best way to lose any game. Better than losing by 1 or 2 runs. Win tomorrow and the series is even.
Dodgers beat Mets 9-0 in first game of their NLCS.
Yankees - Indians game one tonight. LETS GO YANKEES.
The Yankees have added Rizzo and Stroman to the ALCS roster while dropping Rice and Ellis.
Three weeks to vote. Vote TRUMP of don't vote at all. TRUMP loses, we all lose, and America is gone, as we knew it.

Rizzo back at first base. Five lefthanded bats. Rodon at his best tonight, hope so. Lineup produces when it matters most tonight, hope so. LETS GO YANKEES!
Would like to see Rizzo contribute. Just not sure it will happen.
Quick and very nice turnaround by the Mets. Lose 9-0 yesterday, lead 6-0 after two innings today.
Mets 6-3 after six. It ain't over.
Mets even season with Dodgers at one game each with 7-3 win. Head to NY for next three games.
0-0 after 2.
Soto solo HR and Judge scoring on wild pitch followed by Stanton scoring on a wild pitch gives Yankees 3-0 lead after three innings.
Cole comes up brilliant tonight. Goes six innings allowing just one run on a solo home run. Leaves game leading 4-1.
Yanks up 4-1 thru six, but I have a bad feeling. Let me be wrong.
Stanton Ballantine blast gives Yanks 5-1 lead thru seven innings.
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnn, 5-2.
Yankees win game one 5-2. Rodo, Holmes and Weaver fantastic for 8 2/3 innings allowing just one run. Hill horrible over 1/3 inning allowing one run. Soto and Stanton each with a solo HR. Yanks score twice on wild pitches and once on Judge rbi sac fly.
Taking the first game of a best of seven series is good, then winning the second game is even better. Rodon pitched like a true ace tonight. Calm slowed the game down, and through strikes. His slider was devastating. Rodon got the win and Weaver a five out save, striking out four batters, the first one when it mattered most cleaning up Hicks mess.
A win tomorrow would put pressure on Cleveland going home in front of their fans down two games.
Lets go Yankees. Wash, rinse, REPEAT.
If Cole matches Rodon outing from game one, Yanks should be in good shape for another win.
Cole tonight. Rizzo looked good at the plate last night, had some good swings.
Three weeks people, three weeks left. Vote, and vote for Donald Trump and all republicans. A vote for harris/walz is voting for a family of rats into your home.
It is truly amazing. The Yankees are winning and the sniveling, crying, and whining continues ad nauseum at the nyyfansforum. The worst Yankee site on the internet with the worst, dumbest, lowlife posters on the internet. No thanks to the moderators there who encourage sniveling, but God forbid a poster says another poster doesn't know what they are talking about.
How Rodon calmed down, controlled his emotions and dominated game one last night.
1. Rodon said that he studied how Gerrit Cole handled his ALDS Game 4 start at Kansas City, remarking that the ace right-hander looked “like a robot” until his final inning, when he unleashed a primal scream coming off the mound. That provided a template Rodon aimed to emulate.
2. “Mentally, I was taking notes on how he was going out there and going about it,” Rodon said.
3. Said Cole: “That’s a compliment from Carlos. I appreciate that. I think that’s what we’re all trying to strive to do, is get in the competitive mindset and stay in there as long as we can.”

Yankees using exact same lineup as last night. Haven't seen this in a long time > Cleveland is using eight left handed batters against Cole. Does Tribe manager know something from his time with the Yankees?
The Indian 8 lefthanded lineup scares me. Short right field, and their hitters may go to opposite field a lot. I hope Cole mows them down. Because if he can't, the Indians will use the same lineup against Scmidt and Gil.
Lets go guys, fly high to Cleveland 2-0.
