Way back in the 20th century, Bill James wrote the first essential book about baseball managers. Chris Jaffe has just written the second.

From now on, whenever I have a question about a manager, Jaffe's book will be the first and last one I reach for.

John Brattain Memorial Fund

The Hardball Times has set up a memorial fund for John Brattain's family. He left behind a wife and two teenage daughters.

Four years ago, I found from personal experience how generous the online community can be to its own in their hour of need. I am now literally begging you to be even more generous than you were to me.

Game 1: 1:05 PM ET

TB: Matt Garza (25, RHP, 7-9, 4.01 ERA, 4.27 FIP, 2.8 WAR) vs NYY: CC Sabathia (28, LHP, 16-7, 3.48 ERA, 3.39 FIP, 4.5 WAR)

Yankee win probability: 63.8%

Yay, Brett Gardner’s back.  Derek Jeter is three hits away from tying Lou Gehrig’s Yankee hits record and with two games he just may get there today.  Also, the Yankees can’t lose in Gardner’s return, so that makes this game important.

Go Yankees.

 

Game 2: 7:05 PM ET


TB: Andy Sonnanstine (26, RHP, 6-8, 6.62 ERA, 5.48 FIP, -1.3 WAR) vs NYY: A.J. Burnett (28, RHP, 10-8, 4.29 ERA, 4.51 FIP, 2.3 WAR)

Jose Molina, C (.223/.293/.282, -0.4 WAR)
Total,  (.288/.364/.491, 20.1 WAR)

Yankee win probability: TBA

Whatever.

I would be shocked if Sonnanstine does NOT pitch well in this game, despite those ugly numbers.  As every Yankee fan knows, A.J. Burnett’s going through a rough patch.  The Yankees need an effective Burnett for the postseason, so this is an important game for him.  That therefore makes it an important game for the Yankees as well.

Go Yankees, once again.
