The Yankees should take the next game as CC has been coming up big, unless the Astros lineup breaks out.
-
I would be all for that, but do you think a pitcher with a chronically bad knee and Chavis can get us atop bat?
-
Don't whine. Your team got outplayed. Astros made some tough plays on defense and Gardner pulled a rock getting thrown out at third for the third out. Judge missed the cutoff on the final play and Sanchez was too busy trying to block the plate with his foot when he had plenty of time to come out to meet that throw and go back for the tag.
-
No, it isn't. He had the right to the base and he didn't alter the throw as he ducked.
-
I was surprised that you said this, because Verlander has been in one of the best stretches of his career. Not only is he not giving up runs, but he is going deep into games and putting up wins everytime out.
-
Put me in coach, and I can hit righties and lefties equally as good. Oh, and my bursitis is almost completely gone.
-
So, I am guessing that you have no interest in Machado. LOL!
-
Otani is getting ankle surgery. I would be reluctant to sign him. But Stanton interests me very much.
-
It was a terrible misstep by Pedroia when he did that. It could not have sat well with the rest of the team or with the coaches or manager.
-
I have a feeling that one of these two teams is going to erupt offensively tomorrow. I hope that it will be the Astros.
-
I always liked Ellsbury. I still do. Thanks for k'ing

There was nothing more disgusting than watching David Well shoot his nose rockets.
-
Unusual this post season -- 2 aces in the same game with excellent outings.
-
It was too easy for their hitter in the ALDS.

Quote of DD from Speier's article; Maybe he was alluding to the lack of sound fundamentals. -
Pitching can't seem to stop offenses this post season.
-
Oh, I misunderstood you. I think you are right.
-
What do they deserve?

I didn't blame Farrell. But I didn't apologize for his managing throughout the year either. -
We can dither about which stats are most relevant, but other than the injuries to Pedroia and Hanley which significantly impaired their performances (and it was predictable as they have had chronic problems), the other performances were not uniformly and drastically down. This type of performance was not totally unforeseeable for an offense without David Ortiz. Instead, there seems to have been an expectation that the remaining group would elevate their performances. To me that is not reasonable.

Which Tanaka will you get? On Jeter Day, the Astros torched Tanaka for 3 or 4 HRs and 8 runs in 2 innings.

Down years are not uncommon early in a player's career after having success. There is no smooth career trajectory. It is a game of adjustments. You have some success and the league adjusts to you, then you decline and have to make adjustments. Early in a career, these adjustments don't happen very quickly.
-
And they weren't human at 21-22? I don't understand that comment.

You disliked him but nevertheless were an unabashed apologist for him? Such inconsistency just confuses me. -
With short termers, no season should be dropped. Otherwise, it is just playing games. Edit: Haven't you heard of the Sophomore Slump? It is a common thing for players to take a step back after some success.
