These next four games in Boston are huge! Huge for the Yankees, if they win 3 of 4, they’re right there, again, when a lot of folks have been counting them out. If Boston wins 3 or 4, its proof they are a lot better than this blogger thought, and its salt in every Yankee fan’s wounds.

For the Yankees, its simple. They need to pitch. Just pitch. No nibbling, no tenativeness, just fuckin pitch! Jordan Montgomery, you wanna be here, pitch in New York? Own it and Prove it. Aroldis Chapman? You feelin better? Bring the heat and mix your pitches. Stop piping 99 down the middle.

It’s a big ask but 3 of 4 would be nice. The bottom line is the Yankees can’t beat themselves. If you wanna steal, commit to it, if you want to bunt, bunt. No running yourselves out of innings, no tentative swings, I’m looking right at you Giancarlo!!!! No huge errors that lead to like 6 run 6th, again looking at you, Gleyber!

It’s going to be one of those fun, exciting weekends, full of excitement and painful anxiety and moments of thankfulness that Im not drinking. It’s Yankees against Red Sox at Fenway. Something about it being Fenway and the Yankees being underdogs just makes these games special . As a fan, we can’t ask for more than that.

I hope the Yanks take 3 of 4, but see a split being likely.

Back tomorrow with a recap of game one.
