It may be hard for Lance to find steak post game, even beyond Seattle's Autonomous Zone, between the vegans in charge and the Labor Day Holiday.

The calls of the demise of Big Lance were jusssssst a tad premature. 

The bullpen gonna be aight tonight?

Marco's probably gonna have to wear it tonight due to yesterday

What a ridiculous lineup. If Robert is back, hit him where it matters. Andrus leading off isn't really a long term sensible move.

And again, why bring Yoan back, to sit on the bench?

If Yoan is back he should be playing 3 rd base today. Our defense has been bad.  Today Vaughn is already looked bad again now in RF, and Grandal has been bad behind the plate costing us a run.

Andrus, while hot, has awful numbers against Marco. I'd put Romy at SS and Harrison at 2b. Elvis batting .158 over 38AB's. 

Have a feeling this game will be pretty low scoring. 3-2 type final. They're going to have to rely on Marco a bit today as they used their bullpen for 1ip at a time yesterday night. Both teams had to travel late to west coast for this game. I'd guess that Mariners didn't get to their actual homes until like 3-4am. 

Let's hope we win this first one to keep momentum. We've got Gilbert and Luis Castillo ahead ... we can definitely split those, but makes this first game very important. You lose tonight and split the next two and you're losers of 3 of 4 after your nice momentum. Game 1 here is likely the most winnable and we need to show urgency here and play our best game of the series.

Vaughn needs a day off.  Struggling to hit it in the air.

Vaughn has hard time getting big hit 

vaughn been pretty worthless all week

 

not to mention a horrible outfielder

Andrew messing up isn't  Grandal & Moncada's fault.

It's LaRussa's fault.

Dammit, Tony!

Ballgame Over. Yankees Win. Thhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Yankees WIN!!!

 

The Twins fortunately did not circulate the memo to not let AAron Judge beat them.

Looks like Lance has decided that there are more pitches to throw besides fastballs.

Tony was pulling for Jake Lamb during that at bat.

Would have liked Robert hitting second instead, to also hit and run with Abreu if feasible.  Two slow guys back to back takes the running game out of the equation.

I like Elvis

Andrus, have yourself a game.

The fraudians and Royals could be a good pitching matchup for sure.

I like Andrew but would be fine if he never played another game in the outfield in his career

Andrew is the worst defensive outfielder in modern Sox history that I can recall.

I'd hate him for it but I doubt he's politicking to be out there

I'm just here to say....I'm all for this version of Lance Lynn.
