“#Yankees preparing for bad blood to intensify against Rays<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Finally.<\/p>\n

After four days of probing about the bad blood between the Yankees and Rays, the ALDS gets underway Monday night in San Diego\u2019s Petco Park, where every game<\/a> will be played.<\/p>\n

Game 1 of the best-of-five affair pits Gerrit Cole, the Yankees\u2019 right-handed ace, against lefty Blake Snell. The Rays will go with Tyler Glasnow in Game 2 and the Yankees haven\u2019t decided on his mound opponent.<\/p>\n

While players in each dugout have preached the focus is on winning and advancing to the ALCS, the Yankees\u2019 belief that the Rays pitchers throw up and in too much is real as is the Rays being agitated over Aroldis Chapman buzzing Mike Brosseau\u2019s head with a trip<\/a>le-digit fastball on Sept. 1 at Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n

Aaron Judge has enough postseason experience to understand even a normal regular season of 162 games is a dress rehearsal for October. And this year with 16 teams getting in that mindset that is even more true.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven the regular season is like spring training. The real season is the playoffs,\u2019\u2019 said Judge, whose team dropped six of its final eight games during the regular season but erased that stain by beating the Indians in the wild-card round. \u201cYou want to see a team show up. The team that shows up in the postseason is the team we are going to see. We kind of showed that in the first two games in Cleveland. We were able to put up runs and had guys hitting in big situations, guys move runners over and hit sac flies to get runners in. That is the type of Yankee team you are going to see.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Yet, it won\u2019t be without intensity. And each side hasn\u2019t fully deleted the bad blood.<\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly, especially in the postseason,\u2019\u2019 Cole answered when asked if the intensity level rises in the wake of the ill feelings each team has toward the other. \u201cThere is already a baseline of tension there as we app<\/a>roach any game at this time of the year, and with the history there will be some people playing on edge.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
