Yankees vs Houston ALCS

[OH FOY]

I keep looking at that 7th game, and Sabathia vs. Morton. Severino doesn't get excited and get flustered, could end, but I'm giving it to the Vet. Besides I want to watch it.

Tanaka has been nothing but a unsung hero in both series, that 1-0 win against Cleveland to me was the biggest win in all Play-off games. That game brought the Guardians down to earth. And again tonight, Astros just needed 1, at least, and they didn't get it.

Tanaka probably just had the biggest win of the series, (of course all are big) Astros on their heels now. Have to think about it now, Yanks can play loose.

We don't have to beat Verlander. That being said, a well rested Sevy vs Verlander who is coming off a 120+ pitch outing in game 2 might be a story line. Listen guys, I thought our team was going to miss the playoffs in ST. The fact that we are one win from the WS is mindboggling to me. I believe this team has the talent to win it all, I just couldn't have thought in my wildest dreams that these kids would come up and perform at All-Star levels so quickly. I didn't think Bird would come back from two major surgeries to be such a professional hitter in the playoffs. Gardner has been old man river showing experience and determination. Didi has just been nails. Frazier has seemed to be the glue that has helped keep this team together this postseason. The rotation has just been incredible. The pen ridiculous. I really do like this team and going forward, this team has a LOT of winning to do. This is just the beginning

Don't worry, soon Planet X will reveal itself and put us all out of our misery. Seriously. NASA says there's likely another planet lurking out there.

I’m working tonight, but here we go

[a700hitter]

I am hoping that Girardi gives Severino a premature hook.

[d-money]

We might actually just get a game 7. I think this would be tough for Yankees fans if they don't pulled this off.

[d-money]

Bad pitch by verlander there.

[d-money]

Wow verlander really trying to give the game back. In trouble

[Bellhorn04]

Is DRob wearing down?

[Slasher9]

Girardi is an imp.

[a700hitter]

Verlander was brilliant and clutch.

[a700hitter]

CC for the Yankees in game 7

? For the Astros

[Bellhorn04]

Verlander was brilliant and clutch.

 

He did rise to the occasion.

[Bellhorn04]

So Girardi will be relying heavily on Kahnle and Chapman in Game 7.

[d-money]

20 plus pitches for the astros closer. I don't understand why he didn't bring someone else to close it.

[a700hitter]

The key to beating CC is to get him early. I would have the first 3 guys bunt on him. They are all very fast. Make him get his fat body off the mound to get the ball and twist and throw. That could affect his gimpy legs and it will definitely piss him off.

[Slasher9]

Verlander has an insane clutch pitching stats when pitching in an elimination game.

 

Hinch over managed last night by bringing in Giles. Terrible move that may cost them the ALCS.

 

Agree 100% with a700. Need to bunt on CC early.

 

CC has a chance for an improbable run in the postseason with a dominant performance tonight.

 

Gun to my head MFY win.

[jacksonianmarch]

We can hit Morton and we feast on that pen. I have to assume Keuchel is their long reliever. CC probably has Gray or Tanaka as his long reliever. KRob fell apart yesterday, but I bet Joe has him in there for an inning if needed. Green is probably cooked. Warren and Kahnle can go multiple. I’d assume Aroldis is in for 2 tonight. Betances also returned to form last night too, but I’d assume he’s left out in a pivotal game 7 unless it’s out of reach. Sucks that I’ve got to work tonight, but if this is the last rodeo of the 2017 Yankees, then it’s been a hell of a ride. I never presume to know which team will win a game 7. Go Yankees

[Bellhorn04]

We can hit Morton and we feast on that pen. I have to assume Keuchel is their long reliever.

 

Keuchel threw 86 pitches Wednesday night. What about McCullers?

[d-money]

Keuchel threw 86 pitches Wednesday night. What about McCullers?

 

 

McCullers could come in on 3 days test and give you 5 innings at least.

[jacksonianmarch]

McCullers is assuredly in their pen. He’s a guy who has fatigue issues, though. He threw a lot of pitches in game 4 and coming out on short rest would have to be a true short stint. He’s a boom or bust kind of guy as well. This is going to be interesting for sure

[Kimmi]

Wow verlander really trying to give the game back. In trouble

 

Play of the game last night was Springer's catch near the CF wall. He doesn't catch that and it might have been a completely different ball game.

[Kimmi]

He did rise to the occasion.

 

Verlander has been awesome since being traded to the Astros.

[OH FOY]

Love 7th games. Yanks knocked off Cleveland, and now brought this to 7th game, against tough team, who really had no problem with us, I'll go with the Vet Sabathia and Yanks BP.

One last thing, Judge hits HRS in bunches, he has hit them in this series, and 1 last night, I predict, he hits one tonight.

[Divinity]

CC is 10-0 after a loss, Lets go Yanks!

[a700hitter]

I may mush them tonight.

[d-money]

Astros letting sabathia off the hook.

[OH FOY]

Astros have to hit in those situations.

[d-money]

Charlie Morton has been rolling thus far.
