Tonight has convinced me the Yankees are winning this shit. It has an air of inevitability around it. Trump in the White House and Yankees in the WS for the double whammy.

Please don't put that guy in a sentence next to my Yankees
I'll reserve my political opinion
If they win tomorrow they will take the series.
We have to win 1 of the next 2. I think we can beat them in a game 7, but we have to beat Keuchel or Verlander
That was soooo dope
Proven!
My friends and contacts list is empty - No Shit - I'm a Yankee fan on a Red Sox forum!!
LOL.
Shake my head at the jinxing jinxers on this thread.

I would not bet against the Yankees if I were a betting person.
"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Yankees are tough to beat at home. Fantastic series so far. Glad I didn't have to bet on a winner. Wow
This series has been excellent. Only one game was out of hand (Game 3). The rest have been nail biters to the very end.
One very big thing happened yesterday. The umpire stopped calling low ball strikes on Judge. The media has finally come around to the fact that Judge is getting murdered on those pitches and then he has to expand the zone. When they actually call his strike zone, he can settle in and hit. Another thing I saw yesterday with both Judge and Sanchez was that they went center cut on two hits yesterday. They’ve been pulling the ball all series. Then Judge hits the restaurant to center and Sanchez wins the game with his double to RCF. They need to keep that approach vs Keuchel who will wear them out away and down.
Our starting pitching has been excellent this series. Gray was done in by Girardi’s quick hook and by a mistake by Romine. In fact, when was the last time a team won a game late in the playoffs when they’ve allowed 2 or more unearned runs? I’m honestly not sure. Our pen was solid as well, even with Robertson hanging his curve to Gurriel
Noticing Judge this year, when he hits HRS he hits them in bunches. Too bad I have to work tonight, this is a huge game. Tanaka I think tonight, 3 great starts in a row, against a Yankee killer. All runs will be important, Defense is huge in games like this.
I doubt Keuchel is off his game. We need to adjust our approach and hope Judge gets another umpire who calls the actual strike zone. Giving Keuchel 2-3 more inches off the bottom of the zone is death to this Yankee lineup. After such a nice comeback, I wonder if Joe will game plan or let his guys hit? I would seriously consider giving the hitters the take sign until they are either in a 2 strike count, 2-0 or 3-1. Keuchel throws the most pitches out of the strike zone of any pitcher in baseball. Force him into the zone and we might get to him. If we don't force him into the zone enough, but run his pitch count up, we can feast on that pen
Hal sucks
Tanaka is the key tonight. Yanks likely are not going to hit Keuchel, so Tanaka needs to keep pace with him.
Yankees already winning.
