Just have to keep winning. And it would be nice to be healthy with Severino and Stanton going into the postseason.

I know. Betances too. Unless he has a setback, Stanton for sure should be back. Severino/Betances I haven't heard anything about recently but last I heard, they "should" make it back.

Severino is pitching in the minors on Sunday.

Mets started off great but not doing well right now.

4-1 CHI

I saw that. Hope it's successful!




They're still giving the Mets a higher chance to make the playoffs than the Phillies (who are ahead of them in the wild card race).

The Mets schedule must be perceived as easy. I think they will get in as 2nd wild card. Will be a great race.

Boone said that Clint Frazier will be called up soon. Great news, I heard he’s been lighting it up in the minors.

Glad to hear it! Wonder if they're gonna bring up Garcia too since we've heard so much about him recently?

Would like to see Garcia in action. It’s best if he’s reliable because yanks need starters to they can depend on in the playoffs.

The As have been a thorn in the yanks side. Just have a hard time hitting their pitchers this season. Taking 2 games here could lead to a boost of confidence.

Yup, Oakland has had their number recently. Glad they won yesterday but are down 3-0 right now. Plus Urshela and CC got put on the DL. Frazier got called up and Liasignia is taking over for CC. I hope Urshela isn't on the DL long. They need this kid and unfortunately, with the time missed, he may not qualify for the batting title (won't have enough ABs).

Stanton should be coming back soon and I think he can really take us to another level. My only questions is how Boone is going to get everybody playing time once everyone is healthy.

That's a good problem to have. Encarnacion came back last night and hit a homer. Plus, Severino has another rehab start on Sunday and if all goes well, rumor is he could be on the major league roster after that (plus Betances might not be far behind him either).

Urshela should be playing soon. LeMahieu and him are great line drive hitters. Torres is as well but he swing out of his shoes for the fences sometimes.

Can't believe they lost to Boston last night! I think German may be burned out. He hasn't pitched well his last few times out. That's not good. Gotta get him rested for the playoffs!

Boston let Dave Dombrowski go!?

Yanks are getting Severino and Staton back on Tuesday. Plus they may get Jordan Montgomery back on Sunday (pitching out of the bullpen) and Betances may not be far behind either! Glad we're getting all of these guys back at the same time and with a few weeks left in the regular season before the playoffs start.

We will be in very good shape heading into the postseason. If we have to face the Astros at some point, how do you see that playing out?

As long as we have home field advantage, I think we've got it. The Yanks are 53-22 at home and 42-29 on the road (whereas Houston is 39-33 on the road and 56-19 at home).

I think I like our chances. Another loss against Houston would not sit well with Yankee fans.

Not at all, especially after we've weathered the storm for the entire year but now Encarnacion (strained oblique) and Sanchez (left groin tightness) are both hurt again!

I agree on the home field advantage deciding that series. Houston will be tough with their staff

Relief pitching will play a huge role for the Astros and Yankees if they play each other. Yanks need to keep pressure on the Astros pitching.

Houston has the better rotation but New York has the better pen in my opinion.

We all can agree on that. I think it should be a great series. But the Yankees have more pressure to win than the Astros because if they lose to the Astros again the fan base will be in a frenzy.

Severino looked great. I look forward to Boone pushing his limits by letting him go deeper into games.

Mets Win!

Yanks Undeniably the Best.

Now that they’ve clinched the division home field advantage would be great

Stanton is back and he looks great.

Going to be a tight race for #1 seed in the MLB.
