I'm not going to say this series is over. The Yankees know they can win 3 games. The Yanks are 2 for 4 when trailing 2-0 in 5 five-game series.

All the punters picked the Yankees to win ALCS creating a long shot situation. Naturally I wagered against them, they don't watch the Jays in ShitholeSA.

I see Teoscar had a big game yesterday.
When I went to LA this summer, my family that works for the Dodgers gave me a Dodgers Hernandez bobble head. It's on my TV stand in my living room lol. He is the man.

I was thinking he pulled him to save his arm for the future games. Not to give the bullpen a workout.
While stumbling his words in the post game press conference, Schneider came up with "I wanted him to get a standing ovation for the job he did" regarding why he pulled him. What the hell are you talking about dude this is the ALDS buddy.

Have a friend who's into basketball bigtime, he finds baseball boring, told him baseball is not boring, its a game within a game within a game, a chess match between managers and between pitcher and batter, not borin at all.
When I was first on the Internet, I posted often on the message board for the TV show The Mole. I was writing about 'the game within the game within the game', and I expressed that in mathematical form:

{ga[ga(game)me]me}

and several people thought I was coming out as gay.

So embarassing!

Tony Soprano said revenge is best served with cold cuts.

Vlady is in the same place as Erling Haaland. He signed with Manchester City to spite United. Roy Keane tore up his father's knee Inge Haaland with a scissor tackle. The elder Haaland played for City, Erling has been punishing them ever since. Vlad Sr was set to sign with the Yankees, they reneged and Sr signed with the Angles. Vlady loves hitting against the Yankees, home and away.

Because it's the playoffs is exactly why you pull him. He also said that the top of the order was coming (third time through). He wasn't going to pitch a complete game no-hitter. Why keep him in for a couple of extra outs? You want him at his best in case the series ends up going to game 5.
Ummm perhaps because he was untouchable? I just feel it was a premature pull. And having to use a number of bullpen arms was pointless when you have such a good outing from your starter. Not to mention this is a 22 year-old phenom and he only threw 77 pitches. The kid was making history and I don't agree with the move. The Yankees have a potent offense and they can put up runs in a hurry. There needs to be a bigger sense of urgency in the ALDS. There's a lot on the line here.

Seriously, Schneider should be walking on eggshells at this point regarding who he pulls in the playoffs and when. The Yankees scored seven runs as a result. Imagine Vladimir didn't hit that grand slam? This could have turned out very ugly. And we all know about the epic fails from the past where Schneider's pulling of pitchers has been under very close scrutiny. Schneider touches things too much in the playoffs and he needs to chill out and let things ride. Like Buck Martinez has said in the past regarding Schneider being a little too quick to pull the trigger and pull pitchers, "trust your eyes." Yesavage is the miracle Cinderella story that might carry this team into a World Series. Give the analytics a rest and let things just happen.

I didn't see that post-game interview. I was just sharing my opinion of why I thought they took him out early. Also, I was watching it on a Fox feed and the commentator said the same thing.

The Jays were up 11-0 when Yesavage got pulled. I don't know in what universe a team blowing an 11-run lead is ever the manager's fault
Pulling Savage was absolutely the right move

tues: Rodon vs the Biebs
Rodon has a loss and a ND vs jays this season
Wankees havent seen the Biebs since 2023.

Judge is 0 for 7 against Biebs , career
Stanton is 2 for 9 against Biebs, career
Cody iBellinger s 0 for 3 sgainst Biebs , career
Jazz Jizzum jr is o for 3 against Biebs, career
Trent Grsham has never faced Biebs
He owns them.

I am confident Biebs will take care of business on Tuesday
Our bench players' hitting and defence are better than the Wankees

Thank goodness they got the lead that they did. Pulling a kid 22 year-old with 11 strikeouts in 5.1 without giving up a hit… I don't agree with that. I understand the bullpen needing to get work. I get all that. But I really do think Schneider overthinks things in the playoffs. Sometimes he just touches things a little too much. After the last two playoff appearances, and some of the bonehead moves he made you would think he would be a little more careful now..... I understand it's hard to argue with a manager that finished first in the American League east, but I don't agree with that move. At least let the kid go until he gives up his first hit. This is a best three out of five series and you're almost up two games to none heading to New York with home-field advantage for a game five if possible. This is not the time to start farting around by giving people playing time. He is managing that game like this is High Park house league.

Imagine if that move lost the game?

I think Schneider will think about it twice in the next games.
