    You know, he was actually going ok in Game 3 until that bullcrap 3-run homer by Frazier.

    not necessarily but going 5 means he will have done well though.

    morton caught a lot of bad luck in game 3. just like bregman, he is due for some good luck.

    We're done. Yankees are going to the Series. Morton is pitching and he's going to lay an egg, sadly.


    I don't trust that guy. He better be on a two inch leash.

    mccullers on short rest and still not that far away from health concerns has a lot of boom or bust potential. I'll get behind it and trust HInch if thats who he starts but I believe He will start Morton (who is usually very good for the first 3 ish innings) then will eventually turn to lance in the bullpen.

    we'll see. I don't envy the job hinch has with the pitching calls tommorow. he will get second guessed to death no matter what he does.

    I have this really weird feeling that somebody will be an unlikely hero for us at a point in the game. Would be cool to McCugh be that hero.

    Unless you have the luxury of giving McCullers a long warm up, I think McHugh has to be first out of the pen.

    And I don't care if Morton will have a perfect game after 5th innings, AJ must pull him after 5.

    His limit is always 5.

    Good win. Will stay away from this thread during Game 7 like I did today. Hopefully that works again.

    Yes 1 time through the order, 2 max. Then you have McCullers or McHugh ready to go.

    Eddie don't throw in the towel so easily bro! remember the derek jeter game this year when morton struck out like 8 of those bishes in a row?

    It's the most sensible decision to start morton it seems. We will have plenty available to work with after that. lance, mccugh, devo, harris, gregerson, peacock, giles, liriano, and maybe dallas? (did i miss anyone else?)

    unlikely hereoes are born and unexpected people show up in game 7. hopefully its some of our guys who are the unexpected heroes!

    We've got what winning 101 brought us.....HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE ! I'm not jumping for joy on Morton...hopefully, as said, he's due.

    It would have been money if Verlander looked at his wrist to look at his "watch" after that pitch.

    Props to struggling McCann with go-ahead hit.

    Ryan Anderson is the Dennis Rodman of rebounding. His offense reminds me of curry.

    Such a dumb move using Giles in the 9th.

    Sadly, might not have a choice.

    If the offense doesn't decent, we win without 9th inning ABs.
