Well, looks like it's going to come down to the last game like I predicted.

Going into today they were already going to be playing beyond game 162. Just wasn't determined if it would start with the WC game or #163

Unfortunately, even if the Yankees win the Wild Card game, they'll probably just get destroyed by the Rays.

If they don't make the playoffs, Boone is most likely let go so that's not a bad thing.

They could win it all,and hes still probably gone.

Team Chaos let's gooooooooo

 

[Irishguy42]

I prefer a three way tie scenario (if NYY win) because then Toronto has to go through a b2b2b2b of four different stadiums/teams to make it out of the wildcard.

It won't matter if Cashman is still around making dumb decisions left and right.

 

[Adam Fox Time]

The Yankees scare me in good and bad ways. If they play well, they can beat anyone.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Yankees finally came through. We'll see what happens in the wildcard.

The problem is that they are too inconsistent. The bad Yankees will rear their ugly heads eventually.

 

[Adam Fox Time]

Red Sox are now leading 7-5, they'll probably win now.

Fenway Tuesday, here we go

Yikes, poor Toronto. A +183 run differential with an associated expected record of 99-63.

They had their chance but dropped 2 of 3 to the yanks when it mattered.

There is a team with 106 wins that has to play a Wildcard game.

This was an odd year.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Had to do it. This isn't the job for a manager to develop in. There's too much nonsense involved.

Rojas would be perfect for Miami, Kansas City, etc with young teams in markets with low expectations. He is a players coach and a good soldier of the organization, however, he lacks the feel/decision making for the hard call. For example, keeping a pitcher in when he's in a groove or intentionally walking a hitter even if it goes against the analytics based on how that player is currently swinging.

Jays also played the majority of their home games on the road .....they will be fine next year. Young exciting club and losing like this is a lesson. No tears shed here .

 

[I Eat Crow]

Epic fail. I just hope this ends up being for the greater good.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Cole earning that contract.

It won't. Ownership has a high tolerance for failure. Cashman is the only GM in sports with a lifetime contract.

 

[mrmovies779]

Cole isnt healthy,its obvious to see.He hasnt been good since coming back.

 

[ThirdEye]

Please for the love of God take him out

 

[mrmovies779]

Cole couldnt believe it,but he has nothing tonight.They are all over his fastball.
