Description:

In what may have been his last start dawning pinstripes, Masahiro Tanaka allowed the Rays to back the Yankees against a wall. But despite emptying the tanks of their elite relievers, the Yankees managed to force a Game 5 with one goal in mind: give the ball to Gerrit Cole.The richest pitcher in baseball history will get his shot Friday night, pitching on three days rest for the first time in his career against what will likely be a tag-team of the Rays top tier pitchers, starting with Tyler Glasnow. In other words, the Yankees will try to repeat their Game 1 performance and the Rays will try to follow the script from Game 2. It doesn t get much better than this. It s the biggest rivalry in the American League these days (sorry, Boston fans, but you lost that honor when you traded Mookie Betts). It s do or die. It s the most expensive lineup in baseball vs. a stable of guys who throw 98 miles per hour. And with that, let s preview what we re going to see tonight.Do or Die: Yankees Look to Ride Cole Train to ALCS2020-10-09T16:12:00-04:00Lenny Neslin2020|Gerrit Cole|Playoffs|Tyler Glasnow|Yankees|CommentsBefore I get into this year s predictions, I just want to say I wholeheartedly agree with Sean Doolittle s thoughts on playing this season: Sports are like the reward of a functioning society. That being said, it s Opening Day and I made these predictions with the assumption that they will finish the season (even though I don t think that will happen).With the help of a Cy Young performance by Gerrit Cole, I have the Yankees finally returning to the World Series but not able to get past the loaded Dodgers. Two words: Miguel Andujar. Put him in left field or at first base and let him rake.AL East 1. Yankees2. Rays*3. Blue Jays4. Red Sox5.

The interview even foreshadows some rule changes that Major League Baseball announced in spring training for the 2020 season. Why should other fans buy your book?This is an overview of all the ways that baseball has changed in the last 20 to 30 years. And when things happen gradually, as many of these have, it s easy to miss thing. You just sort of wake up and you look at the game, what s going on out there? Well, it s sort of gives an overview of what has gone on out there and how we got here.
