Man, reading stuff in here makes it seems like it’s 0-2. Just get a split in NY and then hopefully Sale for Game 5 in Boston.
A few things
—Wonderful job by the middle relievers last night. If I’m going to criticize when it’s warranted, I must also give credit where credit is due. Joe Kelly, Ryan Brasier, and Brandon Workman did a heck of a job keeping the Yankees at 3 runs for as long as they did. Cora’s quick hook enabled the damage to be limited to 3 runs and the trio kept the team in the game.
—As bad as David Price was, he can not be buried on the bench. In order for this team to accomplish their goals, he needs to be a contributor. At some point later in this series, he’s going to have to be counted on to get big outs.
—Brock Holt, Rafael Devers, and Blake Swihart need to be in the lineup the next 2 games. Stack the lineup with left handed hitters(Hope Moreland is ready).
—Don’t doubt this team’s mental fortitude. They’ve been a resilient bunch all season.
