The other thing about the Yankees' playoff chances ...

... this is the Yankees' starting rotation right now.

Tanaka
Pineda
Sabathia
Green (Chad?)
Cessa (Luis?)

The bullpen is still quite strong, though weakened relatively since the trade deadline. This relative weakness could negatively affect their .690 winning percentage (20-9) in one-run games ... a few devastating blown saves in crunch time vs. one of the four teams ahead of them in the wild card race.

There is no reason to give up ... it's illogical. May as well try hard and see what happens.

But if Gary Sanchez really is Babe Ruth, then the Yankees could probably use his pitching more than his hitting.
