This game is going to plan. And not in a good way. Totally feeling this being scoreless after six. Verlander has hit past the century mark, and it's time for the pen. Severino has matched him toe to toe. Bullpens time. Completely predictable at this time. It feels like the Waterford NYE ball: Like Houston, it's going to fall, and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it.

The sheer terror the Yankees must feel entering the sacred ground of the Astors - legendary Enron Field.
Does the choo choo train still run during the game? If so, they need to be careful not to have it run while Quasimodo is at bat as he's liable to hit a mammoth bomb, kill the conductor, knock it off it's tracks and have it land in the stands, killing a few thousand die hard Astor fans (well not anymore)...............

How do you know this?
Of course I don't. It just looks to me that the lineup is silly, Reddick should be further down, and the way they're swinging seems to look like attempts to hit homers. Of course they won games one and two with some small ball. Maybe that's coming. I think the Yankees are showing signs of trying different things, and that's smart, in my opinion.

Wait, what signs are the Yankees showing of trying different things? I genuinely can't think of any, other than they're hitting the ball.

Right; it's called making adjustments at the plate or shaking up the lineup, I guess the Astors never got the memo while the MFY's clearly did as you pointed out via Harold Reynolds (and like you said; yeah, I know, but the point still stands)...........

JV pitches 9, or 120+ pitches. No other possiblity (unless Astorsscore 8 runs)
