Ask Pinstripe Alley 10/8/18: Using an opener for CC Sabathia, Giancarlo Stanton’s batting spot, Game Five starter

On Sunday I placed a call for Yankees mailbag questions. It was a short turnaround considering the team’s postseason position. You delivered, however, by supplying over a dozen questions! I’m going to answer a few this afternoon. If I didn’t get to yours, don’t feel left out. Another editor may get to it later in the week.

nooooname asks: Obligatory “Should they use an opener for the CC game?” question. It would depend on how rested their bullpen is after tonight, but the Red Sox do have a front loaded lineup, and it is the only inning where you’re guaranteed to face their 1-2-3.
