All series talk goes in here. Non series talk goes somewhere else. No PBP, that can be found from other sources if you need it. All games are broadcast on AT&T Sports SW unless otherwise noted. 8-3 Cristian Javier (R) vs. Clarke Schmidt (R) 6:15 FOX Only 8-4 Hunter Brown (R) vs. Luis Severino (R) 6:05 Apple TV+ Only 8-5 TBD vs. Nestor Cortes (L) 12:05 MLBN (out-of-market only) 8-6 TBD vs. Carlos Rodon (L) 12:35
The Yankees are so nervous that they rushed Cortes back from his rehab assignment. He gets to face Verlander on Saturday.
I can't imagine any world where they let down in Yankee Stadium. The fans will keep everyone's anger up. Sweep and win each game by 5+
No official lineup, but I'm hoping France gets Sunday to keep with his schedule. Urquidy can pitch 2nd game against Baltimore.
I actually prefer France vs Balt. Astros should wreck Cortes and Rodon. Use our better starters in more difficult and important games
We've picked up players (guys are more than able to perform their role now), familiar chemistry, and momentum. Besides, we own them...or, should I say...we ARE them. (have been for years) The Astros are shiifting into that gear... I say they win at least three out of four...maybe sweep. If I was still a betting man, it would be a consistent diet of Houston, Tampa Bay, and Cincy from here on in.
It's High Heat on the MLB Network. Usually on around noon or 1 pm depending on what else is scheduled on the network.
