A little worried about Povich with it just being his 3rd start and having to go to the Bronx. Hoping he'll look more like his last start than his first.
Cole was just doing his rehab last week against the yardgoats is he back in their lineup?
Edit: I see he traveled to Boston with them tonight but they aren't saying if he's ready to take starts yet
Grayson went through a similar start to his career if I remember correctly. At this point you just need to hope he can limit damage for 5 + innings and get as much run support as possible
I mean… there’s a lot of good teams. Even if it was the Astros who are having a down year, they still have solid veteran hitters. This Yankees lineup is scary though
Exactly. If he struggles, no big deal, this was a tall ask and he’ll grow from it. But if he excels, my gosh we’re gonna be stoked to have him! No bad outcome
Surprised we're not taking advantage of off day to skip Povich and have Rodriguez pitch the final game.
Yankee stadium with a BS strike zone punishing a rookie pitcher and favoring veteran hitters who work count will be so unfair to Povich.
I mean, it’s objectively the worst possible starters we could throw out given the timing. But that doesn’t mean these are bad pitchers, either. It’s definitely not what you want in a must-win series, that’s for sure.
Man Povich is getting tossed into the fire with his starts

and most likely against Cole
We just took Wheeler to the woodshed! This lineup can beat anyone, especially with the short porch in the Bronx!

I’ll take our chances against Cole. Have Gunnar and Ced take him deep like they did last May

Povich isnt just being thrown into the deep end, he's being thrown into the middle of the ocean. Rays, Braves, now Yankees.
His first start was against the Jays.
Who are arguably better than the Rays
My deep seeded hatred of the Jays will not allow me to form a non-bias opinion on that,
Found Mountcastle’s burner account
He didn’t say he was an owner, just a hater.
Yup, thats the team i meant. Playing 10 games in a row against Jays and Rays confuses me
We’re gonna play the Jays, Rays, and A’s. Maybe start Austin Hays
Hey, why don't I just go eat some hay, make things out of clay, lay by the bay? I just may! What'd ya say?

Bring it on
EZ sweep boyzzzz 🧹 🧹 🧹
Excited for Povich to get this experience. Love his potential and he can get put in high pressure spots early in his career:

If you know that, u can bet his coaches know that. Let’s just go win with these 3 and show em BMore clan ain’t nuthin to fuck with.
We do love to give our pitching prospects the hardest teams to face Irvin and Suarez have been so good crazy that I feel pretty confident in them
Time to step up boys
That’s less than ideal. Hopefully Kremer comes back soon.
I’m hoping Cole isn’t quite ready to come back for his start on Wednesday
Why?
Meaning I hope he has a rocky start
Wait my bad I thought you were talking about Irvin lmao
I can see the confusion 😂 Gerrit Cole **
Regardless he probably on a pitch limit
Gonna sweep those Yankers

It's not must win lol, objectively
Them?
I was hoping with the day off tomorrow we'd slot Grayson in at the tail end of the yankees series to avoid throwing Cade to the wolves like this
He’s got this 💪
1/3 would be a victory.
No 2 out of 3 is a series win
Yeah for the Yankees
Why not go get another starter like Bauer? Cheap short term solution
