That means Boone will probably use his entire pitching staff regardless of how well Tanaka pitches. At this rate, I don’t want this team to go after Cole in the offseason. Why pay someone 35-40 million a year just to pitch 5-6 innings.

So different than the Yanks: great starters, awful pen, scoring runs the old-fashioned way. Still hoping to see them face the Yanks. Bryce Who? Happy birthday to Ted Lerner!(and please resign Tony Two-Bags!)

I also know that Cashman’s death star still isn’t fully functional and we just saw Altuve, the ewok put a big hole in the side of it.

As for the offense, you can’t win championships just by hitting homers. DJ, Gleyber and Judge always puts forth strong ABs even when they fail. In other words, they don’t just pad all of their numbers against weak opponents (see Gary).
