ALCS: Yankees vs Guardians

[Helobious 9448]

People can roll their eyes all they want, if there’s a feel-good story in the MLB it’s the Yankees. Zips had us finishing last before the season started, I think fangraphs had us second to last. No one believed in us yet here we are, taking on a Cleveland team with the best bullpen in the game. Vegas has the Yankees favored to win tonight but has Cleveland favored to win the series. Underdogs yet again but who’s counting.

I hope you get swept and lose every game by 70 runs.

We'll give you Leody Taveras and a World Series Champions t shirt for Judge.

@@ <-- me, rolling my eyes.

The Yankees were 91.5 in the Vegas O/U preseason, you can check the thread.  They won 94.  Huge congrats on all that.

And I would love to get action with whatever bookie has NYY as the underdog in the series, because mine has:

No you idiot. + is good. That means that Cleveland is +165 Vegas Points better than an average team. NYY are way below that at -200 Vegas Points.

Sorry for not having a gambling addiction

The RGV is behind the Yankees. Aaron Nixon is still in the system.

The only feel good story involving the Yankees is when Kramer got Paul O’Neill to hit two homers for that sick kid.  
 

FYI, Helo… Paul O’Neill played for the Yankees in the 90s.

That's being scored a triple for Paul O'Neill and a throwing error for Martinez.

All these players look not so distantly related to Italian mobsters.

I'm not saying no one showed up but it only looked 80 or 85% full early on. 

Still looking at the same empty seats behind the plate that were there early on.

Those seats cost 17 million a piece and most of those people hang out in the lounge anyway

It wasn't just those seats. But it's a big stadium and it's cold and a Monday and G1. 

[Rip76 4925]

You’re better than that Spike.

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

Weaver, man. 

[Helobious 9448]

Whole lot of “Fuck You” from Weaver there. That game was big for the Yankees chances of winning this series. 

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Those underdog spunky Yankees, what a feel-good little team that could.

Good job Vogt, Hedges was your last sad out.

Shit, I flipped over and was like, "That looks like Austin Hedges, but there's no way he'd be batting in the 9th if they're losing."  Lulz...

I didn't see the 8th, someone please tell me Bo Naylor was hurt. Because you never, ever PH with Austin fucking Hedges, period. 

[ztejas 43418]

World Series Champion* Austin Hedges

Wow.

[Surly Bevo 24908]

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

That was a nice play though. 

[TonyTexas 10510]

Only Judge can hit such  towering pop up with such crazy spin. He’s the best pop-upper evah

[AbeFroman 2156]

To get out of that shit giving up only 1, they should be high-fiving in the dugout.

[Scraps 13561]

Gimenez swinging at some dumb shit

[Scraps 13561]

Nice throw Thomas jfc

Just put NY in the WS now

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

Anytime you'd like to join the series, Cle. 

[AbeFroman 2156]

What are you doing blue?

[Scraps 13561]

Haha at intentionally walking bases loaded for Judge

[Carl Spackler 3480]

Cleveland, you're disappointing me.  I thought I warned you about that.

[WBT 20561]

Way to jump on that first pitch
