I am just very surprised at the lack of offense among teams who scored lots of runs during the regular season; and no, it isn't just the plethora of aces that have been on the mound....
Hell, let's just get it over with and have a reverse jinx shootout. I see a Verlander perfect game with only 81 pitches, all swinging strikes, with the last one being whiffed at before the ball even leaves Verlander's hand.
Also Robinson Cano's leg is broken on a take-out slide by the ghost of Ty Cobb.
Hell no, it'll be Nix, indirectly leading to a spectacular unassisted triple play turned by shortstop Alex Rodriguez.

*I know technically Ernie Harwell isn't a "hall of famer" by virtue of not having a plaque, but I'm counting the Ford C. Frick Award, because I said so.
Will that last at-bat include the batter swinging three times at that one pitch?
Because that would mean only 79 pitches.
Upon which Kate Upton formally inducts Verlander into the Perfect Game Club and then asks him to marry her.
A man can dream...
As a Yankee fan, if this results in an impromptu on-field Kate Upton cat daddy...I can't be mad at that.

Well, Chavez is hitting .000 in the postseason, so he's due right?
Chavez: .360/.360/.560/.920 in 25 PA
A-Rod has looked completely lost against righties lately, of course.
I'm surprised he didn't pick the lineup out of a hat.
I'll add something in like "A-Rod gets a hit," since redemption is such a loaded concept and he has done so many things lately that there's no way he can redeem them all.
ODoes this mean A-Rod has a date tonight?
I finally have to ask. What the hell is this?
The Bruce song that's the MLB "playoff theme".
Wait, how would this be at all like the 2004 Red Sox?
Who exactly is he supposed to put there? Nix has started all of 27 games at shortstop in his career. I doubt the Yankees have a better defensive shortstop on the roster. Maybe Chavez.
Some football teams have a "Hands Squad" for certain situation where they can't afford a fumble or turn over.
This is Coffee Joe's "Legs Squad".
He got a couple AB's. He was 0 for 2 in SB attempts in the second half and had a .666 OPS, he's due!
This assumes:
a) Hughes keeps them in the game
b) Rod/Swisher actually can hit towards the end
It's a hell of a defensive alignment in the outfield.
I don't know. Hughes, as a flyball guy, could conceivably not give up any groundballs to short. Although there are still double plays and attempted SBs to consider.
I don't know. Leading off Gardner totally cold, sitting Alex when he's had good and recent success against Verlander, and relying so heavily on a platoon split that from Verlander's side doesn't really exist seem crazy to me. They had a day off. I would put the best hitters in there. And for better or worse Rodriguez is one of their nine best hitters.
What's the over/under on the number of errors Núñez makes at shortstop today? 1.5?
Even when he fails, he wins!
It'll be okay, just look at the baby walrus.
I was thinking this exactly. For NY to win, they'll need to get Verlander out of the game by the 8th AND since NY can't score before the 9th inning anyway it gives them a chance to EXPLODE against the pen. What a cunning, cunning plan.
*plan not guaranteed if Verlander throws 110 pitch no-hitter.
I'm just pleasantly surprised he's unlikely to set the SO record.
Yes, but I am not a monster. I will show the mercy.
Yankees starters ERA: 2.25
It's something.
I'm gonna use that
Hee hee! Good one!
