Jazz Chisholm Jr. believes the Yankees still have the World Series “in the bag” despite their Game 1 loss

With Friday's loss in Game 1 of the World Series still fresh in their minds, the Yankees must now do their best to forget the game that slipped through their fingers in the 10th inning and get into gear for Game 2 change.

But despite the tough loss, third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. remains confident his team will pull off a series win given the adversity they have faced this year.

“I think we’ve been doing this all year,” he said. “I feel like nothing has changed between us in our clubhouse. We still feel like we have this in the bag. (It's) not cocky, but we're confident about going out and winning four games.”

It's the mindset required in the Fall Classic, especially after a tough loss like the one New York suffered on Friday Freddie FreemanThe Walk-Off Grand Slam-Off Nestor Cortes – the first of its kind in World Series history.

Before that, Game 1 had a little bit of everything: great pitching, heads-up baserunning, good defense, bad defense and lots of drama.

“We’re enjoying the moment as much as they are,” Chisholm said. “After that loss, I didn’t feel like it was quiet in the clubhouse. We talked to each other and said, 'Hey, that was a fun baseball game. Let's do it again tomorrow, but let's emerge victorious tomorrow.'” So it's amazing.

Chisholm had a strong hand in New York, entering the bottom of the 10th with a 3-2 lead – three outs away from stealing Game 1 in Los Angeles – by going 2-for-5 with a run scored and two steals went. He had both bases stolen in the start of the 10th inning, where he made the go-ahead run and scored Anthony VolpeThere is a groundout.

The 26-year-old, who finished the season with 40 steals, had 18 stolen bases in just 46 games with the Yanks and brings them a spark on the base paths.

“From first base, I feel like I’m in scoring position,” the third baseman said. “…just being able to keep going, reading the ball and reading the game, keeping everyone on their toes and making sure everyone is awake out there.”

Chisholm, acquired from the Miami Marlins at the trade deadline to become New York's third baseman, is back in third place Saturday and is in fifth place as a manager Aaron Boone goes with exactly the same lineup as game 1.

Boone, Chisholm and the rest of the Yankees are hoping Game 2 ends a little differently.
