ALCS- Astros vs Yankees


Recommended Posts

Yanks got the breaks last night.  The Astros had chances but couldn’t get the big hit.  That’s baseball

I didn’t like all of the changes to the lineup.  I wanted Gattis to hit instead of Correa, but no way he needs to be catching in the playoffs.  I don’t care if McCann doesn’t get a hit the rest of the year.  With the way he handles the staff, he has to be in the game.

AJ blew this one.  McCullers was dealing when he gave up the homer to Judge and was yanked.  He gave up 2 hits in 6+ innings with 81 pitches and was pulled.  If he did need to pull him, Peacock should have gotten the ball there.  He’s been our 3rd best pitcher all season and hasn’t seen the field this series.

 

6-4 Yanks after 8

This!! Knowing the bullpen is atrocious, and McCullers has just given up his second hit with a low 80's pitch count, no way you pull him there.  To much micro-managing.

Agreed.  And you don’t trot Musgrove out there for the 8th either.  Once you make the first mistake, go with either Gregorson or Giles in the 8th.  

Bringing Giles in with 2nd and 3rd with no outs was pretty brutal.  He looked rattled from the get go.  Missing his spots badly.

Giles hasn't been real good since they got him.  We might be better off coaxing Dave Smith out of retirement to be the closer.

Tough loss after McCullers and Yuli stepped up, but it's nice knowing Keuchel & Verlander are going in the next 2. Offense is due for a big game!

Don't like the short rest for Keuchel, I know he has handled it well in the past.  The offense needs to put up around 8 runs with this bullpen.  Has got to be the #1 issue in the off season!

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.
