We’re all having so much fun in here
Yeah, I'm surprised we haven't seen UteChief in this thread. He was so vocal here during the divisional series cheering for his Yanks. Wonder what happened?
(Just checked: he was on here at 9:30 last night, so he's been keeping track, just not wanting to jump into the discussion for some reason) [Reply]

Odd. I’m sure he’s been enjoying reading all the takes in here [Reply]

He’s a great hitter. I think he is just a choker and now it is completely in his head. I don’t think pitchers just found a magic formula this playoff series.
Royals would have been a way more interesting matchup. The Yankees just don’t have the pitching and they are so reliant on a few big bats to hit dingers. [Reply]

He's a historically good regular season hitter. He's also an historically bad choker based on his playoff performance in his career. Closest comparable in baseball for me would be Kershaw, but even he wasn't quite this bad. [Reply]
