Yankees vs. Rays, Game 3, win or go home. It's time for Yankees baseball.

The Yankees should be down like 5-0. Instead, it's 1-1. Please don't waste this miracle.

Interesting article with some good info/quotes about how Cole's stuff plays in the controlled environment at the Trop. Cole's fastball vertical break numbers by park this year (data from Pitch Info): 1. TB, 17.4" 2. BAL, 16.9" 3. DET, 16.8" --- 9. NYY, 16.3" --- 13. CHC, 15.2"

No Aaron Judge again. Not surprising considering "moderate" calf strains typically don't heal in 2.5 weeks. Judge has hit the last few days but he still hasn't done much running.

Something you simply, positively, hate to see is the Yankees waltzing into the ALDS while the Red Sox clubhouse revolts against their manager and the Astros get booed all the way to Cancún. Just terrible really.

Special moment for the Bellinger family 🥹 Clay Bellinger threw the first pitch to his son Cody Bellinger ahead of AL Wild Card Game 2 at Yankee Stadium! Clay was a member of the Yankees 1999 and 2000 World Series championship teams.

I'm delighted by the Yankees' 16-hitter wild card roster. If you have enough position players with even one big league quality skill you have to be nuts to take more than 10 or 11 pitchers to a best-of-three series

Everybody Except the Yankees Is Doing Wild Card Roster Construction Wrong
Only Cashman and Boone are bold enough to design a roster fit for a best-of-three series, rather than a best-of-162.

A thing I sometimes look at: pitch count prior to final inning, as it reflects the manager's decision to send a guy back out better than raw pitch count. Schlittler's game yesterday (107 before the 7th) was second-highest in the Boone era, behind only the Gerrit Cole shutout in Houston in July 2021.
Pitch count going into final inning graph, Yankees since 2018. Schlittler's game yesterday (107 pitches heading into the 7th) is the most in a Yankees game since Gerrit Cole (112 heading into the 9th).

Jack Curry says that Aaron Judge will not be on the Yankees’ Wild Card roster. Stinks that he’s hurt but this is for the best. He wasn’t hitting while impaired anyway and we don’t need to risk an Achilles injury.
