HELP!!!! Can someone please explain to me why with, Judge in a deep slump, do they move Chisholm ahead of Stanton to bat right behind him in the lineup????

While you're at it, please explain why Cole is not starting an elimination game? Why they hell are they paying him $36M a year. (Sorry, I don't care about his elbow.)

Over / Under: Gil lasts 1.5 innings

Odds Stroman pitches tonight: 0.0001%

Potential last game in Yankees uniform? Torres, Soto, Holmes (where's the party), Cole, Leiter, Rizzo, and I'm sure I've left out a few.

This World Series experience is going to make Austin Wells and Anthony Volpe dynamite major leaguers in the regular season next season and in all future seasons.

Austin needs a little media training

Anthony Volpe and Austin Wells high-fived each other so hard after that grand slam that I thought they were going to break each other's hands.

Replying to

The problem is, he doesn't have any better arms, unless he uses the ones he has on short rest. The Dodgers pitching was severely weakened when they lost Kershaw and Glasnow for the season.

"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."
