Trea Turner tries to bunt to leadoff the first inning, and gets thrown out by Yamamoto on a pitch that was way inside

Toronto gets their much needed insurance runs

Boone is trusting the young man Schlittler to pitch the 6th 

He's had 2 good starts now in the playoffs  , lots of young pitchers pitching important games , that Melton kid with Detroit , Misiorowski with the brewers ,  all are young and with little major league experience  and doing very well ...

Yesavage with Toronto too ...

Must be nice to have a real pitching pipeline

Go Blue Jays. Blue Jays/Mariners ALCS would be fun, but the Mariners will have to get through Skubal on Friday. Anything's better than another Dodgers/Yankees world series.

Yankees on the ropes right now…

I know I'm supposed to hate all things Dodger, but Mookie Betts is a treasure.  Who moves up the defensive spectrum in their 30s?  Now getting the party started with a triple

[Vanimal46]

Devin Williams is absolutely blowing this game for the Yanks. Can’t say I’m too upset about this development

Yamamoto/Nola is a good pitching matchup. Glasnow/Sanchez tomorrow would be fun also if Phillies force Game 4.

I hadn't heard of Schlitter before the playoffs, but he looks legit.

He pitched twice against the Twins:

8/13/25 - 5 IP, 1/1 R/ER, 6/2 K/BB; MIN 4 NYY 1. Clemens hit a 2 run 2B and Lewis hit an RBI 2B in the 6th

9/16/25 - 4.2 IP, 4/4 R/ER, 6/5 K/BB, 1 HR; NYY 10 MIN 9. Outman hit a 2 run HR. This was the game that Rocco allowed Zebby to give up 9 runs in 3 innings and the team almost came back to win...

[Permanent Twins Fan]

Wells almost got that one out.

hoping they do

When the Yankees added Doval and Bednar at the trade deadline, they were supposed to have one of the best bullpens in baseball. Their bullpen is really having troubles today, and towards the end of the year.

I hate giving any compliment to the Yankees, but Boone rode the hot hand tonight as long as he could in Schlittler. I respect him for that

If a ball is hit so hard and far that it stays in orbit and never lands, is it technically a homer?  Asking for a Schwarber

Gonna be fascinating how much money he gets this offseason. One of the all time blunders for the Cubs to non tender him

And maybe for Phillies fans to boo him... at home.... in a play-off game....in a series that Turner and Harper are struggling....(though so is he to be honest...)...

[The Great Hambino]

I hope y'all learned from last night not to dance on the Yankees' grave before they're actually dead

Edit: bullet dodged.  Still gonna wait for that 27th out

[Vanimal46]

All of those empty seats near home plate... Bunch of loser Yankee fans

[Vanimal46]

I don't think this is a hot take but you tell me... October is the best month of sports watching in the calendar year.

Alrighty then ...

[Vanimal46]

The Yankees are officially dead

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Wow! Didnt think it could happen! Must have been nice to pitch to Judge in the 9th 😁
