Robinson Tejada pitches for KC while Joba is on the bump for the Bombers, who look for a sweep after taking last night’s game in a surprising fashion, like wearing white after Labor Day.

El capitan cares!
I have an amusing scenario. It’s almost taken for granted that the Yanks will take the 3-pitcher schedule.
Okay, Twins and Tigers tied the last day of the season, Verlander starts. Presumably, he’ll start game 2 of the ALDS instead of game 1. Do you choose the 4-pitcher schedule to not face Verlander twice?
Lar, I think you need to pitch to your team’s strengths instead of your opponent’s weaknesses. Having said that, I’m not the one who has to face Verlander once or twice.
I agree with Atheose. Trying to force a different teams hand rarely works as planned.
Not watching tonight – is it true, as it seems to be, that Joba put up yet another confidence-un-inspiring performance after finally having a good start in his last outing? Disappointing. Girardi hinted at Joba going to the bullpen for the ALDS. If tonight convinces Girardi that this is the only/best way to use Joba, I’d imagine he’d want to throw Joba into one or two pen-outings in the next 7 days.
Ya, I guess it’s probably overthinking it on my part, and Joba didn’t exactly inspire confidence today..
You know, if the Yankees line-up has to face Verlander twice, that means the Tigers line-up has to face (a well-rested) Sabathia twice. Not exactly a cake-walk for Detroit.
Joba was atrocious again IH. I’m starting to think he’s going to be fine in the playoffs. He seems to need the challenge/energy/excitement of a big game to pitch well…
Rex: Not necessarily.
