I’m scared I think Yankees outmatch us. Although the jays Yankees is like royals jays from 2015. Maybe our small ball can beat their all or nothing homers.

They’re clearly the better team from a talent perspective and it’s not close

All comes down to 2015 Royals like devil magic

Yankees bullpen is a weakness, Schlitler is making them look better than they are. Just need to get past their SP

Same think on offense, Yankees aren’t that dangerous offensively when they’re not hitting HRs. It’s the Red Sox defence who’s made them look better

Red Sox are frauds outside of Crochet and Chapman

They were only scary because those two can basically single-handedly win 2 games in a 5 game series

When they’re hitting home runs, yes. They have like 40 more HR than the next team.

But they’re not hitting HRs. That 4th innings should’ve been 1 run max, Red Sox poor defence is what allowed things to get out of hand

Chapman being wasted on Boston. Of all the playoff teams we have to have the worst pitching staff top to bottom. Starters are meh, Hoffman has to be the worst closer of all the playoff teams…

Jays pitchers have the 6th highest HR/9 in baseball this year, highest of any playoff team (Boston is 27th, lowest of any playoff team)

Whether they’re hitting home runs may change quick

Hoffman is the worst reliever in our bullpen right now so yes

Even a normal game by Schmadolf would have been good, but wow, he really saved the pen today. Glad at least that Bednar is pitching three in a row, I guess.
