The past, in this instance, has no impact on the present. It can and should be ignored.
There is no coin flip blather about odds and five times out of ten or one of two.
There is only these earthly, non mathematical, considerations;
1. What will Stanton do with the bases loaded and one out, the Yanks needing a run in desperation?
2. Did rest "cure" Severino, or is he again hurting but afraid to say?
3. Is it going to be the right move to use Luke instead of Ford?
4. Will Gary rise to the occasion or flame out?
5. How will Judge perform, now that he has been surpassed by a Met's rookie?
6. Will Gio have fire, speed and agility, or is he too banged up ?
7. The Big Maple or Carl Pavano?
8. And the bullpen, right or wrong. We need to get back the spit and fire.
I hope we don't wind up blowing in the wind.
I know I'm a broken record, BUT
ReplyDeleteWHY did they rest everybody when they knew we'd have five days off?
After The Astro's clinched home field on Saturday the last game meant nothing.Actually, I don't think Saturday's game meant anything because the game started after the Astros beat the Angels in an afternoon game. Maybe more people are banged up than they are admitting?
ReplyDeleteAlphonso....I think you have captured the source of most Yankee fans anxiety with those questions.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Carl, I think they are very, very banged up.
ReplyDeleteDidi, Gleyber, and Gio have barely produced in a month. Voit is openly struggling. I hope they are all spending the four off days in a whirlpool bath,
ReplyDelete1. Answering in the context of the entire series. He'll get a clutch hit in one of the earlier games in that situation, get all our hope sup, and then go oh-fer for the remainder.
2. The latter.
3. No, but Boone will do it anyway.
4. The latter.
5. Like a guy with a nagging oblique injury.
6. I believe in Gio, so I'll be optimistic on this one. At the least, he'll have fire and agility.
7. ANYONE but Carl Pavano.
8. Agreed.
You get an "A," LBJ!!
ReplyDeleteParticularly on Giancarlo. Even if he keeps up his rate of not-sucking in every 2 of 9 games, Stanton will contribute something maybe once in each series, assuming we get to two of them.
And of course, being up against better pitching, he won't do that.
PINPOINT.
ReplyDelete#1. STANTON
#7. PAXTON OR PAVANO.
THOSE 2 WILL MOST LIKELY DETERMINE THIS WHOLE POST SEASON.
I THINK I'M GONNA BARF.
