Imagine if he out-pitches Cole though. That would be hilarious. If I'm not mistaken a few of our starters have bested Cole before, but I'm too lazy to do the research lol. 

I'm more concerned about the other two, really.  It's Cole's first start back and even if he dominates, well he's Gerrit Cole.

The Orioles have the lowest OPS vs Cortes of any American League team (555) and that's over ten games.  The Red Sox have also faced Cortes ten times and their OPS is 819.  That's a problem.

I'd be thrilled to win one in this series.The pitching matchups are really horrendous for us...but you never know. Its baseball.

That sucks.

Never like to see guys get hurt.

Sucks to see players get hurt. I'm sure his AAA replacement will come up and OPS .985 for the next 6 weeks, it's the Yankee way.

It is the Skanks, tho, so it doesn't suck as much.

Yea, that's gross.

Injuries suck.

I'd rather beat a healthy Yankee team.

But if Soto got incurable painful hemorrhoids I might laugh.

Always unfortunate when you find out a guy that had a -0.4 WAR will NOT be facing your team.

Last time I checked we are 3-1 vs. the Yankees this year.  Our guys will be up to play at Yankee stadium.  We sweep or win 2-1.  We are a better team.

How can the Yankee$ catachers being rated above the Orioles.  Is it just a function of how many games Adley has been the DH?

How can we have the second best ERA in baseball and be that far behind them in SP rating?  No way.  Their starting pitchers are very good but for all the complaining done around here about our starters, they're pretty damn good and the gap is minimal.

More like how bad McCann has been. 

I am surprised to see the Yankees have a below average bullpen.

Me either , even if they are rivals

I expect the team to roll over for the Yankees like they did the first time they faced them. Or like they did against the Phillies this weekend.
