I’m sure this will fall on deaf ears, but we really shouldn’t overhype this series. Sure it’s important, as any division series is. But the season isn’t over if we sweep or get swept, and doing backfl

Based on how the Skanks rotation had been going, Poteet, Cortes, and Gil were lined up. They took advantage of the off day and moved Cortes up a day and will be inserting Cole. 2 weeks ago when Hyde went to a 6 man rotation he could have made some tweaks, but didn't. No, it's not the end of the world if we lose 2 of 3 or get swept, but every win against them counts. Like I said, hope the offense is ready to score a lot of runs.

The Yankees have great pitching to date. With the exception of two players they aren't exactly the scariest lineup on earth and shouldn't be elevated to the '27 Yankees status.

With Soto and Judge, the Yankees would have a AAA lineup.  Looking forward to when Judge's toe starts bothering him.

Well the Orioles are I guess you can say “downplaying” this series not moving Grod up a day. 
 

They really value him getting another day of rest and/or not bumping anyone else back a couple of games.

I know we as fans put extra weight on this Yankee series but the pitching matchups tell you it's not of much if any extra importance to either club. Both are locks for the playoffs, playing an extra two or three games in a wild card series is not going to matter much. You have to win in the playoffs regardless.

"I hope we win one" is such weak energy, They're a good team but so are the O's.  

I totally agree. Some are still stuck in the mindset that we're a bad team.

I’ll agree and disagree. It’s not so important with this number of games left to juggle pitchers around since you are still playing the long game.  
 

Bye teams going 3-5 in the DS have shown it’s not an impossible hill to climb. That said I think both teams still value winning the division.

Rizzo just got hurt. Bad throw by 1B caused a collision at 1B. Rizzo while safe bumped into P and fell on ground. 
 

He was grabbing his wrist/hand. Left game. 
 

Red Sox are also in process of blowing the lead.

      This is a mix of hitting two really hot teams, our pitching attrition, and just some bad luck. Everything is not going their way right now.  Sure, I think the rotation needs some help after losing Bradish, Means, Wells and Kremer and yes, Elias should have done more this offseason to sure up this pen (I was saying that all offseason and through spring), but when the team pitches good it doesn't hit and when they score a bunch, their pitching stinks.  This team was not going to continue on a 105-win pace with their pitching injuries, but luckily, the Yankees have not been playing great either after being lights out for awhile (while the Orioles were red-hot).  No this team is not going to go into a giant tailspin where they end up under .500 and yes, they will eventually break out of this. We saw in the schedule this was a tough stretch of opponents and lack of off days and it's just kind of caught up just as they hot two teams getting hot.  They're going to be fine when it comes to making the playoffs. Now, do they have a deep playoff caliber rotation and bullpen? No, I think they need to make moves, move that are going cost some players people don't want to see go, but when you have never drafted and developed a major league pitcher in 5 years of drafting, this is what your strategy was devised for.  Develop the bats, trade/acquire for the arms. Now it's time to see if Elias is able to fulfill his strategy.

      Not addressing the bullpen other than a stopgap closer in the offseason is kinda coming home to roost now. Doesn't help that Cano and Perez haven't been very good either. The rotation has just been pure bad luck. When your 2/4/5 plus Wells are gone, sooner or later you are going to feel it. Irvin and Suarez have pitched above expectations but you gotta assume they are going to settle into mid-4 ERAs sooner or later. No idea what the front office is going to do by the deadline. It's a sellers market it seems. I will say I hope major moves are made between now and the start of the 25 season, because it is pee or get off the pot with a lot of these guys on the farm.  And if Burnes isn't back, there is a TON of pitching that needs to be added.

      It sure does feel that way.

      They'd probably trade Witt for Gunnar. Then they could just offer Gunnar Witt's contract and we've been told a dozen times he would never turn it down. Win win!

      It's weird, I think some people have been spoiled, in a weird way.   People on here were making fun of the streak...glad it's over, tired of hearing about it...well, this is the flip side of the coin.   It's like people here think this team is above any kind of struggle, any kind of adversity...injuries shouldn't happen to us, can't happen to us, won't happen to us.  We've had it really good since Adley's call up and we've been one of the best teams in the game. 5 game losing streak has some people here on tilt.

      Maybe Witt, he's signed for 11 years.

      All those Yankees fans running their mouths about Volpe being better than Gunnar last year are awfully quiet this season.
