OT: 2024 NY Yankees Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Full disclosure, I've been complaining about him for years too, just like everyone else
It's the postseason. There are no easy victories.
Must say Stanton being second to Babe Ruth in any stat, let alone postseason HR rate is crazy.
Yankees have been great at plate discipline all year, especially Soto/Judge
Cole has already been a great Yankee- but this is the game he puts a stamp on it
That’s the Gerritt Cole we need in the playoffs. Judge waking up and Stanton with another solid game.
He’s actually been more than solid in whatever role he’s been needed since being taken out of closer. Says a lot about him.
Gotta know your role. Some pitchers are not closers. Nothing wrong with that.
I just hope this is the last we hear from Bob Costas. What a snoozefest.
I actually thought Costas was OK other than some of his reference to baseball players from 100 years ago. Darling was a tough listen.
I think people get used to their local guys since the season is so long and then become overly critical of postseason announcers.
Honestly, that's a no for me. Costas never shuts up. He keeps yapping away as if he has to fill every second of airtime. It's the playoffs and sometimes the story on the field writes itself and does not need announcer fillibuster.
You nailed it IMO.
I don't dislike Costas. He just sucked as a play-by-play guy last night.
I rarely have issues with announcers. Very few are worth listening to. Pissed that Sterling came back for the playoffs. Just background white noise until there is a big homer.
Doesn’t bother me at all. That wasn’t a very exciting game and it required some fill. There wasn’t a great story on the field last night. Boring game but the Yankees are a workman-like team that did what they needed to do.
Unknown to us as of now. I would speculate that it depends on how high his pain tolerance is. There's no way he's healed.
The Indians last win was so huge for the Yanks. Possibility of facing Skubal three times in a secen game series is no joke, no matter how weak the Tiger lineup is. He's at a level no other pitcher is currently at.
