NYY 8, CLE 6

Another wild one I was trying to listen to on the train; I would say John Sterling sounded flummoxed by the twists and turns of the late innings, but that's not really news, is it? Hee. (It IS nice to hear him back; glad he's apparently well.)

And another one where you might expect more points from the line score -- but there are a bunch. Also, there's another Naylor! What a time to be alive. 

Naylor The Greater 3
Ramírez 3
Thomas 0

Judge 1
Soto 4
Stanton 4

Probably our last two-game day of the postseason, although you never know. The standings going into the NL's travel day:

81 Bauer OMG
73 MArbour 2
70 Shotwell and Bauer Snooze

65 JArbour Winklepleck LLC
64 Cameron 2

58 Quinn

Everyone else after the jump...

53 Johnson
52 Stempel
50 SDB Safe

49 SDB Sorry and Wonsetler
48 Shotwell 2
47 Tormey

45 Cameron 1 and Drake
44 Dunn
41 Bingham 2 and Fell 1

38 Fell 2
37 Reid 2
35 Reid 1
33 Bingham 1

25 MArbour 1
24 Brady

It's kind of crazy how different this would look if a couple of popular picks -- Hernandez T; Judge -- weren't sort of muddling along. Of course, THAT could look different if it's a Yankees/Dodgers World Series, but we're not going to know that for a couple of days yet.

Today, the NL's on a plane, and the Yankees try again to put the Guardians away tonight, 8 PM ET on TBS. A loss like yesterday's could be fatally deflating for Cleveland, but the Bombers' pitching is...variable, so we'll see! Until then, have a look at my math, make sure it's correct, and good luck to all.

::Morpheus Voice:: What would you say if I told you there’s a Naylor-in-Waiting? Something in that Missasauga water! I need Baby Brother Naylor to get traded to the Guardians (not for one of his brothers) so all 3 can play together.
