    Baseball is played that way in a season. When you have 3/4 games series all year long. That’s what they’re used to. It’s not like any other sport so that’s what makes sense for the mlb

    i think regular season and post season are two different beasts though. But I get it. Just don’t like it.

    In the Who's Your Daddy poll they always take after a TBS game, they listed:

    Gurriel (Chaz was the better choice, however)
    Verlander
    Drury (Padres)

    You would expect Hader to be the 4th choice (or at minimum some other Padre). And if you watched Hader today, you would have him in this poll. He was that electric/dominant.

    But no, they listed phuckwad Harrison Bader (for no GD reason whatsoever).

    That's embarrassing.

    Dusty Baker is now 44-44 in the post season

    He is 1 win from tying Dave Roberts for 4th place all time.

    Maybe MLB should do a 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 format. Then you wouldn't lose home series advantage going 1-1...

    Whatever you do, don't look at what Yordan did in the WS last year.

    Yeah traveling everyday right after a tiring game is what the mlb wants and what players want to do

    You also lose it if you lose one of your first 2 home games in a 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 structure. :)

    Severino's always pitched very well against us over the years, one of the few veterans NYY has left from that 2017 series. Game 2 is must win, don't want to go to the Bronx tied up and one disaster road trip away from elimination.

    The Yankees entire season rests on winning the Severino-Cole-Cortes starts, Astros take two of the next 3 games and this series is over.

    Never underestimate your opponent, hit him hard.

    On a side note, one gripe I've had is Vazquez not getting enough playing time. Serious question. Why did we even trade for him if he's not going to play much? Yes, I know he had 10+ innings in the Seattle game but dude stays on a milk carton with Dusty. Doesn't the front office dictate how Dusty uses players for the initial lineup?
