I attended the first two and are going back for the rubber match tonight.
what a game last night! ... in addition to Bautista's arm and the dramatic dingers ... how 'bout those inning-ending bases loaded strikeouts of Arod, Encarnacion & Donaldson? exciting stuff!
tonight was shaping up to be another classic but too bad Tanaka has to be skipped against Stroman.
(pitchers hitting is a joke.)
Agree on all counts - since I always focus through a Yankee lens (Arod K in big spot), I forget the same happened on the other side (twice).
Yes, having the pitchers hit is dumb, and even moreso when the AL has to do it since they're not conditioned.
Tanaka pitching could have made this race a real tension builder. However, although I know in one game anything can happen, I do not like Nova's chances of winning. He has no out pitch against this lineup.
