Yanks starting pitchers are mess outside Tanaka. Pulling Paxton after 2 innings because he was “tipping” his pitches is bizarre. Severino never goes more than 4 these days. Game 4 will be bullpen by committee according to Boone.  The bullpen is ok, but it isn’t good enough to win a 7 game series. Without some starting pitching, the yanks are going to need their bats to win this series. 
 

Get used to 4 hour plus game with all of these pitching changes.

A “bad” Gerrit Cole start and the Astros are still up 4-0 in the bottom of the 7th. Feeling pretty good, but the Yanks have a great lineup so it could change quickly!

Didi’s hit with two men on would have been a homerun regular season. Without the juiced balls, the yanks lineup isn’t as dangerous. Ultimately, Yanks don’t have the starting pitching to win. Nate just proved how important SP is

I admit, I pooped a little when Reddick kept backing up!

Well, I think Hinch made a bad call regardless of how it plays out. He just announced that Verlander will start game 5.

 

The doomsday scenario now is that the Yankees win games 4 and 5 and force the Astros to throw Cole in game 6, and then go Urquidy/Bullpen in game 7. 
 

If they win game 4, I can at least see the thought about trying to close out the series in game 5 with JV, and thinking Urquidy will be more likely to get a win at home than in Yankee stadium.

 

But right now you have a guarantee of a game 6 start by Verlander on regular rest, and if need a game 7 start by Cole. Why get so cute with it?
