Yankees vs Houston ALCS

[illinoisredsox]

Astros defense looks rough.

 

Yeah, certainly nothing like they played against the Sox. They get Headly like they should have and this inning is a lot different.

[d-money]

Yankees didn’t show much the first two games of this series either. Funny what good pitching can do.

 

Well they play very well in that bandbox and to think that game 5 will also be in the bronx.

[d-money]

Boy they're teeing off on astros pitching right now.

[Carpin]

Astros defense looks rough.

 

You want rough??/ look at Castro and Romine, it's a miracle we are back in the game

[illinoisredsox]

Ump missed a called strike 2 on Judge that changed that whole AB as well.

[d-money]

What an implosion by the astros. Brand new series after tonight.

Giles is worthless

[Carpin]

I can't believe it

[jacksonianmarch]

No quit in these kids!!!

[d-money]

Giles is worthless

 

He probably looks like a stud against us. We need some boppers in our lineup. Guys that can hit for power. Hanley sucked.

[Northern Star]

Giles is worthless

 

This new guy is not much better.

"It's only a game, it's only a game...."

[Carpin]

Series moment just changed

[d-money]

Game 5 will be big now. Keuchel vs Tanaka.

[Carpin]

let's just win tomorrow and get ready for Friday

Series moment just changed

 

I hate it when that happens.

[Northern Star]

Tonight has convinced me the Yankees are winning this s***. It has an air of inevitability around it. Trump in the White House and Yankees in the WS for the double whammy.

Please don't put that guy in a sentence next to my Yankees

 

I'll reserve my political opinion

If they win tomorrow they will take the series.

[jacksonianmarch]

We have to win 1 of the next 2. I think we can beat them in a game 7, but we have to beat Keuchel or Verlander

[bkzwhitestrican]

That was soooo dope

[BudLight]

A guy on my floor convinced his dad to buy tickets to Game 5 as soon as they found out the Yankees were moving on. I tried to tell him that the series won't get that far, but hey, prove me wrong.

 

Proven!

[Northern Star]

Proven!

 

LOL.

 

Shake my head at the jinxing jinxers on this thread.

[Spudboy]

I would not bet against the Yankees if I were a betting person.

[TylerD]

Yankees are tough to beat at home. Fantastic series so far. Glad I didn't have to bet on a winner. Wow

[jacksonianmarch]

This series has been excellent. Only one game was out of hand (Game 3). The rest have been nail biters to the very end.

 

One very big thing happened yesterday. The umpire stopped calling low ball strikes on Judge. The media has finally come around to the fact that Judge is getting murdered on those pitches and then he has to expand the zone. When they actually call his strike zone, he can settle in and hit. Another thing I saw yesterday with both Judge and Sanchez was that they went center cut on two hits yesterday. They’ve been pulling the ball all series. Then Judge hits the restaurant to center and Sanchez wins the game with his double to RCF. They need to keep that approach vs Keuchel who will wear them out away and down.

 

Our starting pitching has been excellent this series. Gray was done in by Girardi’s quick hook and by a mistake by Romine. In fact, when was the last time a team won a game late in the playoffs when they’ve allowed 2 or more unearned runs? I’m honestly not sure. Our pen was solid as well, even with Robertson hanging his curve to Gurriel

[OH FOY]

Noticing Judge this year, when he hits HRS he hits them in bunches. Too bad I have to work tonight, this is a huge game. Tanaka I think tonight, 3 great starts in a row, against a Yankee killer. All runs will be important, Defense is huge in games like this.

[jacksonianmarch]

I doubt Keuchel is off his game. We need to adjust our approach and hope Judge gets another umpire who calls the actual strike zone. Giving Keuchel 2-3 more inches off the bottom of the zone is death to this Yankee lineup. After such a nice comeback, I wonder if Joe will game plan or let his guys hit? I would seriously consider giving the hitters the take sign until they are either in a 2 strike count, 2-0 or 3-1. Keuchel throws the most pitches out of the strike zone of any pitcher in baseball. Force him into the zone and we might get to him. If we don't force him into the zone enough, but run his pitch count up, we can feast on that pen

[bkzwhitestrican]

Tanaka is the key tonight. Yanks likely are not going to hit Keuchel, so Tanaka needs to keep pace with him.

[d-money]

Yankees already winning.
