In that case we sit Brennan, which probably makes enough sense because it'd allow Naylor to DH again. I do feel like though Brennan while he hasn't been good, has faced Cole already just a few days ago so something about putting the same G1 lineup out there feels right rather than a fresh guy who has never seen him before. But if Naylor has benefit DHing then it's kind of a moot point because we wouldn't have any 1B if Brennan was to play.

Brennan was also clutch tonight coming off the bench. If Naylor is truly hobbled/gassed we should give him a day off and use him/Miller as the bench bats.

Sooo, man, I don't know where to start.
I guess I'll start with the motherfucker I hate most, well, the motherfucker rally killing SoB I LOVE to hate most. But Myles Straw came through when it mattered most and made up for ineptitude in the beginning. It also doesn't help that the opposing CF is outplaying him at the dish.
But that bloop double started the whole thing and gave everyone in that dugout a JOLT. He was confused at fist but made the correct call at getting to 2nd late.
The place stood tall after that and it was House of Pain time.
Kwan comes up and rips one. (Very unfortunate hitting with RISP tonight by the way, Hits didn't produce it seemed.)
Place goes nuts for Kwan.
Now's the time I look at my dad and say ahh fuck Boone is going to the pen and try to get Amed induce a double play ball.
He laces a groundball single. The stadium is on the verge of blowing away.
Now José steps up and I swear the José chant was electric. I'm already horse but I gave it all. Then he rips a hard play hit. Total bonkers. It's in the air at this point. The G's are going to pull this off. Yankees fans are sitting down and not heard AT ALL.
Naylor... man is struggling. Total letdown of an AB. But then...
The whole fucking stadium including my 52 year old father is singing SPONGEBOB FUCKING SQUAREPANTS. Like dad, I didn't even watch that show, I watched Rugrats, Hey Arnold and shit, how the fuck do you know these goddamn lyrics?? But crowd amplified it and sung it into existence, whatever, I joined in with the juices I have left at this point. Voice is fucked. Too many Fuck the Yankees chants.
Oscar takes a pitch or 2, fouls a couple, then the greatest in-person game I ever attended becomes complete and I say that for the lone reason because I never hugged so many complete strangers in my life. I high fived at least 5000 people. I trolled every Yankees fan telling them don't worry its a 5 game series. Some bad sports, but fuck them.
There were a couple fights as the game winner took place, my dad said a fat Yankees shoved an 140 pound soaking wet Guardians fan at least 8 feet. While he was what the fucking at that, I was getting bro hugged and feeling some boobs chest to chest. Dudes, chicks, grandma's, grandpa's, just a total ball. The greatest man. You'd have to be there to feel the energy, it totally felt like once in a lifetime and everyone took advantage of that.
Cleveland is a special place, the day we win a ring in baseball will be everyone's classic life moment. The amount of happiness in that bitch, you'd never know we happen to come up short a lot of times. I still have to catch up in this thread and find my Hammy plays.
Congrats though guys on witnessing one hell of a win and let's do it again tomorrow.

139 wRC+ vs RHP this year and the "heart and soul" whatever blah blah, don't think we can even considering sitting Naylor if he says he's ready, but taking him off 1B does seem wise. I'm fine with today's lineup... just would prefer Brennan's bat over Arias with the G1 experience but not a big deal either way. Arias looks locked in.

I'm sure everyone in that clip had a few beverages, and the main characters were all acting like assholes. Yankee fans were in their 50's? and should know better. Every other word being F'ing explains a lot about a person. At least the Cleveland fan can partially claim youthful ignorance. Yes, they should all be thrown out.
One thing I learned traveling to other ballparks is there is a way to wear your gear and root for your team and still be respectful of the opponent and their fans and it is 99% of the time reciprocated. And then there's an entitled Yankee/ Cowboy/ Steelers/ Patriots/ Warriors/ Celtics fan way of being a dick. Don't be a dick.

Who did Arias strike out against today? In that highly important sample size of ONE.
0% K against RHP, 100% K against LHP, I'm a genious

No way they can outright sit Naylor with a right handed pitcher on the mound who he's nearly guaranteed to get at least 3 ABs against.
And it's beyond clear at this point that they're not pinch hitting him against left handers either.
Maybe they will next year, but not this year.

It feels special... Not sure we're supposed to say that. Sounds like an amazing time.
I dont agree that their outfield was aligned poorly. Unless the CF was standing 20 feet behind second, there is no outfielder in baseball that could throw out Amed in that situation.
Two outs, huge secondary lead, going on contact...
Amed goes home to first from the RH box in 4.17 seconds. With a running start he moves a lot faster than that.
The Yanks had to make sure that a deep fly in either gap didn't drop.
