The Yankees kept scoring and then they kept giving the game back to the Guardians...
But, in the end, the Yankees prevailed.
They have a 3 games to 1 lead in the ALCS.
The Yankees need to win one more game to reach the World Series.
One game away.....

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post
"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."
—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life
"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

when we consider the performance of the Cleveland team's pitching and defense
we should remember that the yankee offense averaged 5 runs/game during the season.
in the 4 games of this series, Cleveland has held the Yankees to only 24 runs in total
The Yankees own Clase in this series like the Sox owned Mo in 2004. (If you scroll through the comments in the Game Thread, you'll see where I said I was glad to see Clase again.) Clase had a lot of success this year, but in 2023, IIRC, he blew something like 8 saves, including one against the Yankees. For whatever reason, they know how to approach hitting him. So in this series, 1.1 IP. 4 ER, 27.00 ERA, 1 Loss, 1 Blown Save.
I think both bullpens are gassed. Tomorrow it's Rodon, 5.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R vs. Bibee, 1.1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER. I'm liking our chances. If Bibee goes 2 or 3…
one win to go?
seems to me that that Boone's guys won tomorrow's game tonight.
Vogt's Guardians fought as hard, as well as they could and give their last full measure
