Boone and Cashman will have their end-of-season press conferences tomorrow at noon. We already know Volpe had surgery on his shoulder. The bigger question is Judge's flexor. We should find out tomorrow.

So long to Mike Harkey and his elite Players Weekend jersey 🫡

This double play is so ridiculous I'm surprised the Yankees didn't hit into it.

One of the most remarkable double plays you will EVER see 🤯

Real talk: Postseason baseball is much more fun and enjoyable when your team isn't playing.

Roster construction was definitely an issue, but A-Rod picked the Yankees to win the World Series not even a week ago. You don't have to listen to anything he says. His broadcaster/analyst career boils down to going whichever way the wind blows.

"[Aaron Boone] is the one guy I would circle that has least to blame...one of the worst constructions of a roster I’ve ever seen." A-Rod

"I’m pretty sure Aaron’s not the one that’s calling every move that they make throughout the game." Derek Jeter

Eight years is a long time for a good manager who's won a World Series, neither of which applies to Boone.

The Yankees absolutely, inarguably, need a new manager and a new shortstop next season. I think we all know it will be Boone and Volpe though.

Jasson makes the most of his pity at-bat.

It's time for Yankees baseball.

Alternating L/R all the way down (except McMahon/Grisham back-to-back) with the Blue Jays throwing a bullpen game. No obvious lanes to match up.

Aaron Judge homering on this pitch is INSANE!

The PLV result likelihoods of this pitch:

Swinging Strike: 29.0%
Foul: 32.7%
In-Play Out: 13.0%

We aren't talking enough about how crazy this homerun was

The Blue Jays have a bullpen game planned for Game 4. Beat them tonight and wreck them for tomorrow.

Boone left Rodón in way too long here, but what difference does it make? Other than the 11 batters Tim Hill and Camilo Doval faced in Game 1, the pitching just isn't competitive.

If you wanna stretch the comparison, 2001 had the Jeter Flip Play and 2017 had Judge robbing Lindor of a home run

Yankees have come back from 0-2 in a best-of-5 twice: 2001 ALDS vs OAK & 2017 ALDS vs CLE

Game 3’s were similar

2001: Mussina 7 IP, 0 R; Posada HR off Zito; won 1-0

2017: Tanaka 7 IP, 0 R; Bird HR off Miller; won 1-0

At the beginning of the year, Cam Schlittler sat at 93-94 mph and touched 96.

Now in the postseason, he was sitting at 99 mph and touched 101.

Why his increase in velocity is important for a lengthy MLB career: www.baseballamerica.com/stories/to-h...
