Yankees vs Houston ALCS

[Carpin]

Tanaka is dealing

This series's over. Amazing what happens when you get some pitching and timely hitting.

Not yet, this game is far from over and they have Verlander for Friday

Yankees have all the momentum

[Carpin]

Yankees have all the momentum

 

They have the momentum, but still a long way to go, specially against a team like Houston

How long will Hinch stick with Reddick? He has been helpless in this series.

[illinoisredsox]

Too bad these Astros didn’t show up in the Red Sox series. Yeah the Yankee pitchers have been good but they are missing hittable pitches as well. Against the Sox, they were squaring up everything, in and out of the strike zone. Their defense has sucked this series as well.

The astros are pressing. All they needed was one win in those 3 games and they likely won't get it.

Our pitchers where hanging pitches left and right.

There were several hard hits on balls well outside the strike zone as well. Like I said, the Yankee pitchers have been good but there have been mistakes that the Astros have just flat out missed. They weren’t missing them against the Sox.

[d-money]

A party in the bronx.

[Northern Star]

I thought the Astros were supposed to be unbeatable? What a disaster.

I thought the Astros were supposed to be unbeatable? What a disaster.

 

The first two games where competitive. Yankees really have taken advantage in their place.

[Carpin]

Amazing start by Tanaka

[Northern Star]

Pathetic showing for this Astros offense. Three goddamn hits.

[d-money]

Pathetic showing for this Astros offense. Three goddamn hits.

 

They're getting destroyed. Dodgers vs Yankees WS? Wouldn't the Yankees even have home field advantage in that series?

[d-money]

Astros basically hoping that going back to Houston will give them the energy to try and push this series to a game 7.

[jacksonianmarch]

We are rolling now. Judge and Sanchez have awoken.

Verlander gives them a chance but the way these three games have gone, I doubt they win both. They HAD to hold on and win yesterday.

[Carpin]

The Yankees Win

 

Let's see if we can get to Verlander on Friday

[TylerD]

The Yankees won again...... I'm gonna hide for a while

[Northern Star]

So now might be a good time to revisit and debate the concept of "Home field advantage" because the lesser team has 3 of the first 5 games. I know they want to limit travel, but is it worth it to switch to 2-2-1-1-1?

[Thunder]

I'm not concerned yet. While the Yankees are now 6-0 at home, there are no more home game in this series. Yes, they only have 1 road win in the playoffs, but it was Game 5 in Cleveland. On the contrary, Houston is 4-0 at home in October. I like those odds. Joe Buck will be out of breath by Saturday night

Yeah he really is working hard bag lapping things Yankee.

[jacksonianmarch]

Our run differential is +12 in the series and we lost twice. Our pitching has been absolutely magnificent. Verlander won’t be as good as he was last time out, so the Stros better bring their sticks and their relief arms if they plan to see game 7. What a series. This Yankees team is special. Shades of 96 all over again

I understand your enthusiasm and the Yankees are playing well.

 

But how can you say that Verlander won't do as well?

[jacksonianmarch]

So I should expect Verlander to go 9IP and 1ER again? We usually hit Verlander

He also said the Yanks "can't hit Keuchel."

He is on a tremendous run.

I'm fine with 2-2-1-1-1, but no day off between all the single games.

 

Play game 4 and 5 in the afternoon and game 6 and 7 at night. (No day off between 5 and 6)
