 opportunity you know it's been such a challenging year on so many fronts you know kind of all going all the way back to February and all that we've been through as a team individuals have been through personally what we've been through as a nation what we've been through as a world it's been a long ride to get here and we're honored and privileged to be able to still be playing this game and everyone's on equal footing now and we're in control of where we go with this and we're excited about the opportunity the Yankees roster is indeed set they opted for 13 pitchers with Nick Nelson making the cut you could see Jordan Montgomery out of the bullpen he is on the roster as well Aaron Boone said should there be a game three they're leaning towards Jay Hap Mike Ford got the nod over Miguel and Doohar and they'll carry three catchers to give Aaron Boone some flexibility especially late in games as far as tonight's lineup is concerned it's pretty much business as usual with the exception of left field Aaron Boone opted to go with Brett Gardner in left instead of Clint Frazier he explained that decision you know we discussed a lot I've thought about here a lot over the last couple days about which way I wanted to go really feel good either way I would have gone just feel like you know the way Guardi's really I feel like started to swing here over the last few weeks and and down the stretch here and obviously what he brings defensively in this ballpark you know and just to give a different look in there with all our righties against Bieber you know to get at least a second lefty in there a little bit of a different look I just felt like that was the way ultimately I wanted to go left field can be a little bit tricky in Cleveland Gardner is familiar with the dimensions there and you heard Boone mention how he's been swinging the bat the last 13 games at 394 average and 667 slug and he scored nine runs the Yankees are still waiting for Aaron judge and John Carlos Stanton to find their power stroke since coming off the aisle but Luke Voight has been a constant when it comes to power all season long Aaron Boone feels fortunate to be able to pencil his name in the lineup on a daily basis yeah it is really nice having them and having them you know healthy and obviously you know a lot's been said about you know the MVP type season that he just completed you know he's another one of those guys pillars in our lineup that obviously makes it very difficult on the pitcher you know the power presence that he brings I think he brings a little bit of energy to the game with with just the way he is and who he is and the intensity plays the game with so I'm glad he's in this position this year after kind of finishing the season last year a little bit banged up to go in and having him in the middle of our lineup I'm looking forward to seeing him go play
