October 27, 20241 yr Author The only other option there was Dominguez...Volpe missing his Jeter moment in Yankees' lore.

October 29, 20241 yr Author Five ex Sox pitchers in the game...good for them. Kopech struggling a bit recently. Postseason ERA up to 3.38 now. 4-2 Dodgers win, 3-0 series lead....Yankees still haven't recovered from G1 disaster. Edited October 29, 20241 yr by caulfield12

I see the same old Kopech that can get away by being on a much better team. He has control issues. The last 2 weeks the manager might have 70% confidence as him being a closer. If he wants to be a starter for the Dodgers he has to cut down on balls.

As I pointed out in the KC series, Yankees can't hit. They can work the count and strike out, though.

He's a decent reliever but basically just another guy in terms of a bullpen piece. Good at times. A HR machine other times. Probably worth about 10 mill a year.

Blake Treinen has kind of settled in as their main guy, though...although sometimes he has been deployed in high leverage before the 9th/10th.

October 29, 20241 yr Old man thing to yell about, but clearly freeman was hurting bad in the NLCS. In the WS? He's looked fine. Nightengale cannot stop writing that he's on one leg, but pretty rare to get triples when you are hopping to third. For example, kirk gibson - clearly limping his entire home run trot. Swings with all power on one leg. Freddie freeman - normal swing, runs normally. This doesn't take anything away from freeman, he's clearly the MVP and is delivering a world series on a team that has mookie betts and ohtani. You don't really need to add drama on top of that.

Baseball is not that predictable. It's more about timing. Wrong time for Judge to slump. The list of great players failing in the post season is lengthy. The Dodgers have such a great approach at the plate.

I guess if you don't want to be a Yankee it could be all about the money. Reinsdorf would snicker saying he's not gonna sign him while expecting to be treated serious asking IL for over a billion dollars.
