I heard Carton talk about this on the Morning Show today. He called this the TCB Homestand. So that's what we're going to call it. And taking care of business is exactly what the Yanks have done so far. Three straight wins against the Twins and now four games to feast on the Indians. Yea I felt similarly heading into Cleveland last week but now they're in our house where we're a much more dangerous team. Time for a little payback.
The Indians will be without 3B Chris Johnson after he hit the DL but they'll have Jason Kipnis this time around. That's not the best news in the world. Including Brantley and Carlos Santana that makes three very dangerous bats swinging from the left side at Yankee Stadium over the next four days. I can live with one of those guys doing a little damage this weekend but if fucking Jose Ramirez and his 54 wRC+ start driving in runs again I'm gonna lose it.
Somehow the Yankees are gonna miss Corey Kluber again this series. It'll be Nova against Josh Tomlin tonight. He hasn't pitched much this year due to injury but for some reference he had a 4.76 ERA last year and his best fastball doesn't top 90mph. Tomorrow you'll get Tanaka against Carlos Carrasco who only gave up two runs (both solo shots) in eight innings last week against the Yankees. They're probably going to have their work cutout for them again. The Saturday matinee features the kid Luis and flamethrower Danny Salazar. You'll recall Salazar also worked over the Yankee offense last week to the tune of one run in 7.1 innings. Then Sunday afternoon you get CC and Trevor Bauer. The Yanks tagged this guy for six runs in 3.1 innings last Thursday. If you watched that game you saw this lunatic crow-hopping during his between inning warmups like he was doing long toss out in right field. First time I ever saw him do that. Weird stuff. Whatever gets you to that place man. Unless of course you suck. Then maybe stop doing it.
