Yanks are playing with house money this season, so if this enthusiastic young group can scrap out a couple wins and make it competitive versus the reigning AL champs, that would be cool.
I hope to see Severino rebound in the DS; if he settles his nerves and trusts his talent he will be ok. I can only imagine what it's like to be on a stage like the playoffs, let alone at Yankee stadium— which dovetails with a big round of applause for the likes of Chad Green and D-Rob, who performed under enormous pressure.

I had a great time watching that game. What a playoff debut for Judge. It doesn't get much better than that. The Indians will be tough but I'm looking forward to seeing how Judge and the rest of the Yankees do. I think they have a chance to pull off the upset.
