Give the O's credit- they came out swinging last night and they beat CC Sabathia at home for the first time in over a year.
Still, I'm not worried about the big man for October.
All eyes on Trenton tonight, as Andy Pettitte makes a playoff start for the AA Thunder.
The Scranton Wilkes Barre Yankees made the playoffs, too. DJ Mitchell takes the mound in Columbus against the Clippers.
The Yankees used to win minor league championships regularly. Year after year, the Boss would sign veterans and career minor leaguers to carry those teams to championships. He felt that a winning atmosphere was important to developing players- I agree it is, but his approach took playing time away from developing players.
What makes this year (and last year's) AA and AAA championship runs different, is now it's happening organically. The Yankees have some incredible talent in the minor leagues. None of them will come to the Show polished and read a la Jason Heyward or Mike Stanton (the Marlin), but if just a couple of those guys reach their full potential, the Yankee roster will be stacked.

Good point about the Yankees' minor leagues
And I sincerely hope there is no further setback for Andy Pettitte. The Yankees have been without him for way too long now. It’s time to come back.

He has to come back healthy if the Yankees want to repeat.

Yup

I think Marlins Mike Stanton should always be known on PA as "the other Mike Stanton"
Even when he’s jacking 40 homers next season.
+1
I always think of the original Stanton when I hear the kid’s name

shout out to the grandy man
for being nominated for the Roberto Clemente Award. It’d be nice to keep it in pinstripes two years running.
congratulations
