Lots of moving parts to this game:
- Philadelphia defeats Atlanta to take the series. Energy seems in place for the underdogs!
- We have Gariel Arias at first base tonight. Naylor DHs and Miller and Brennan sit. You know the old joke about mixed emotions being watching your mother-in-law drive off a cliff in your brand new Cadillac?
- McKenzie on the mound. I think we need to score 5 to be sure as the best HR team in the majors may run into one or two against a pitcher who gives up HRs.
- Baseball in Cleveland in October is a dicey proposition, but it looks like we will have good weather tonight.
I love that we are in the playoffs and we have been playing well. I have questions about why Arias is on the roster, why Nolan Jones is not playing 1B SOMEWHERE right now and why we didn't pull the plug on Owen Miller in the playoffs sooner and how these decisions have made it so Will Brennan is not in the lineup but those questions are for another day. Every team has guys they would rather not be starting at this point in the playoffs including the Yankees so we will just have to go with it and hope Arias does well defensively and runs into one....or two, in contradiction to his year so far.
Go Guardians! (and a couple of well-placed, well-timed midges attracted by midge pheromones we spray on the balls the Yankees pitch with).
