10/14 - ALDS Game 2: Bieber vs. Cortes

[jon abbey]

Taillon relief career going well, big shocker.

 

[jon abbey]

As bad as Jeff Weaver in 2003.

 

[DukeSox]

At the game - fans are STREAMING out right now

 

[jon abbey]

Now Schmidt comes in, well done.

 

[EvilEmpire]

It should never have gotten to Taillon.

Pitching was good enough today. The hitting, well, it looks like a lot of day games. Wish I could understand it.

That's kind of surprising, still no one out but just 2-0 and Clase already at 17 pitches (season high 23).

They maybe need Carpenter for Cabrera in LF tomorrow, they have to get him in the lineup somehow.

Hope he was really out there...

 

[jon abbey]

Close.

 

[jon abbey]

That would have been Effross or Marinaccio if either were available but it still should have been Schmidt, bad decision making by NY management in the clutch as usual.

 

[jon abbey]

Good job Clarke, get one more.

Someone has some splaining to do as to why Taillon was in for the 10th. Schmidt is the easy answer as he has pitched out of the pen most of the season. Plus, you save Taillon for if Sevy can't go distance.

Instead, Taillon won't be available until game 4. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Also, why did Locastro bat for himself? Seemed like a perfect spot for Hicks.

 

[Brand Name]

Teams are 4-34 (now 4-35) when entering a home extra inning down 2+ in the playoffs.

The only AL team ever to win such a game was the 1972 Tigers.

 

[AMS25]

That was a tough loss for the Yankees.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

IKF looked like he was running in quicksand.

What a ridiculous loss. Terrible job by the offense throughout. Suspect bullpen management. Shitty defense. Alas.

 

[jarules1185]

The only positives I guess are that Karinchak and Clase will be tired tomorrow, although probably still available in some form if needed.

Judge is going to get some loud fan reactions and very close media attention in the Cleveland games.

 

[Wingack]

I think Cleveland made the wrong move leaving Clase in for that second inning.

I said the same in the other game thread. No more days off this series.

Edit you mean the 3rd inning right? He finished the 8th

 

[terrynever]

It’s one game in a short series. Cleveland led the 1998 Yankees 2-1 in a 7-game series.

cabrera has got to lay off high FBs.

Those were high sliders in that last Clase at bat, mistake pitches. Cabrera was completely lost in that one.

They decided before the series to essentially give Taillon Effross’s role, which seemed pretty stupid but they have a lot more info than I do. Also they miss Marinaccio who I believe is healthy but just not eligible to come off the IL yet.

 

[jon abbey]

I’m going to take tomorrow’s game, if there are no objections.

Yeah, it was just unnecessary IMO.

 

[jon abbey]

This is why this team was never going anywhere, give Carpenter a start.
