I sent Farrell a text begging him to bat Holt either 1st or 2nd, just for funsies.
I thought 8 innings was unnecessary in my opinion. Wasn't it 6-0 after 5 innings? That's a pretty comfortable lead to give to our bullpen. But it is what it is. It's getting away from the original point that I'm still scared to see Porcello in the playoffs. I hope the man shuts me up and plays like a boss though.
Should have pitched the Sale game then.
Can we find a better starting option for
Porcello?
If we do, are we able to trade porcello?
See and I have been thinking about this too. But it's sometimes scary thinking like that off one bad year. He was so good last year that I would like to see him next year....... maybe. I really don't know. Lol. I guess it just depends what kind of performance he has in the playoffs. That is what matters to me right now. He has been better in the second half of the season. The first half was absolutely atrocious.
Why not Marrerro?
Dumb.
I think that would have been a waste. Instead of which he helped us win a game last night.
Ya I'm fine with the decision. Still don't get why Porcello was pulled so early though ? After the first inning he started to settle down.
I was okay with the decision to leave Sale in the game, for reasons I've already posted, but I can understand the reasoning behind not leaving him in the game. Also, I share your concerns about Porcello.
I'm all for offloading him asap, but only if there's a better, viable alternative to take his place. Good pitching is a rare commodity in the majors nowadays.
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
I'd like to see Yankees drop couple more games right away in order for us to clinch the Division. Set up the rotation for the playoffs. Hopefully Sale can skip his last start or at the very least pitch him only for 3 or 4 innings.
Gotta get him going.
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose

It looks like Sale won't be needed in the last game. But I think he's going to need a session in between the start before.
How does that work. The day the season ends, the next day the one game wildcard game is played? Then the next day the playoffs start?
If that's the case...... he's throwing on 7 days rest I think....
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
The first game is October 5th. That's 3 days off after the last game of the season.
Had we started Sale the first game in Cincy, we could have given him 1-2 days off before pitching a (short) game vs HOU and then 1-2 days off before game 1 on OCT 5th. Now, he's going to get a super long rest of lopsided rest.
