If anyone can get the Yankees a win it's Cortez. 

 

Great call.

Ok so find 10 teams west of Texas.

But just to be safe the Yankees should get 5 or 6 more runs.

BTW I can't help but compare some of these wasted at bats by the Yankees to the Angels. Lead off double in the 2nd and they don't move runners, they swing at junk, Judge has become all but silent, I can't believe there hasn't been a conversation from Boone that they must make more productive at bats.

It’s almost like most teams have the same hitting philosophies.

Well apparently Cortes is injured so...not really the same thing. 

The Yankees are playing like they don't want to win. 

I've never seen a Yankee playoff team suck as much as the Yankees are sucking the last 4 games.

Not sure if sarcastic but...no. 

See: Astros. 

[CaliAngel]

Astros 4 run inning, lead 4-3 with 1 out in the 3rd...Yankees look exhausted like they're ready to go home...or...stay home but get this game done so they can stop playing baseball...

[fan_since79]

Phillies may be in for a rude shock. Astros look unbeatable right now.

Ok.  See Angels, Yankees, Braves and others.  Those others constitute many or most.

Yankees a score 2 in the first and 1 in the second. If it’s 3-0 still,  they came out showing fight, since they’re down, they want to go home

Harper sucks

And who wins the most? 

See: Astros, Dodgers. 

You want to win? You swing at strikes. 

I don't know what others plans are at the plate, but working the count, looking at pitches down the pipe, swinging at junk is not a recipe for success. Screw the count, screw the situation, go up to the plate waiting for the pitch you can drive.

The Dodgers saw the second most pitches this season, so they work the count.  The Yankees saw the 4th most pitches.  They work the count.

Yeah sure, watching balls. 

Not watching strikes. 

[Lou]

50% of the Yankees' outs this series have been strikeouts.

They had to take plenty of strikes.

So a team consisting of 50% Brandon Marshes...sounds about right...

No argument from me. He’s gotten out more times than he’s reached base. 

[Stradling]

Dodgers watched 25.7% strikes

Angels watched 25.5% strikes

So again, no. 

[CaliAngel]

Rizzo is the best player on the Yankees. 

[CaliAngel]

Stanton ain't gonna do nothing.

Adell for Harper 

[CaliAngel]

Didn't pitchers use to go to the clubhouse to ice their arms after they pitched? 

They seem to hang out in the dugout now.

No way. Adell will be elite in about 3-4 years. After he learns to hit a fastball and catch a ball in left field.
