Today will likely be rained out, giving Tanaka a chance to come back Thursday and tie the series.
Yet, there seems to be a failure of will on the part of Boone/Cashman to make needed changes. It's not April; patience is not a virtue now.
Romine should be playing on Thursday. He makes contact, hits better in the clutch and will block more of Britton's balls.
Gardner hitting third and protecting Judge is simply gross incompetence. Torres should be hitting third.
Encarnación did double yesterday but he is having a miserable series and like Sanchez frequently strikes out. He should be moved down in the lineup and Urshela should be moved up.
Apparently Tauchman is ready to play again. Not cutting Stanton in the hope he is ready for the World Series is foolish. Activate Tauchman (or Ford) and get some hustle and a clutch contact bat in the lineup.
The high RISP lineup that brought the Yankees far this season is not on the field. Time is running short.
