"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Take it to the Bridge

Yanks one win away from a date with the Dodgers in the Whirled Serious. Man, would that be sweet or what?

Lot of work to do before they get there.

We’ll be here—as always—root-root-rootin’ out boys on.

Never mind those Houston Astros:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

let's go team! 6 is better than 7.

2 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 6:59 pm

Let’s do this! Go Yankees!

3 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 6:59 pm

Let's Go Yankees!

4 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:03 pm

All up to Sevi. I feel good about our bats tonights—Gary Sanchez, looking at you.

5 mhoward120   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:04 pm

Fuck FS1. They're making the Astros out to be the lovable underdogs. And barely naming the team they're playing.

6 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:08 pm

SOOOOOO ready for this game. LETs go YANKees!

7 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:09 pm

LET'S GET THIS ON!!!

8 mhoward120   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:09 pm

I have a black tie wedding tomw night. I doubt that the parents of the bride would be willing to reschedule the wedding in the event of a Game 7.
So....Go Yankees!!!!!!
(Been rooting for them for 60 years.

9 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:10 pm

Run, Gritty, run!

10 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:11 pm

Atta boy, Brett!

11 mhoward120   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:11 pm

Brettski, not Gretzky.

12 thelarmis   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:12 pm

I'm in a freaking rehearsal. Have a GG tomorrow night

Yay Brett, not yay Judge.

13 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:12 pm

Blech

14 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:13 pm

12 GG?

15 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:13 pm

At least a couple of good swings on JV.

16 mhoward120   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:14 pm

Verlander has a small dick. Kate Upton could do so much better.

17 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:15 pm

Shite!

18 thelarmis   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:15 pm

Crap. And only 10 pitches. I was hoping Gritner was gonna try to steal early in the count.

Really hope Sevi is on...

19 mhoward120   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:16 pm

(12) and (14). Exactly.

20 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:16 pm

Come on, Sevvy

21 mhoward120   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:17 pm

Seriously, has any living sane New Yorker ever had a Domino's pizza?
Pizza Hut? Papa Peyton's?

22 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:18 pm

(8) went to a black tie in 2009. Wore a Yankee jersey as a vest.

23 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:19 pm

21 I once shouted at some tourists about to walk into a Pizza Hut "why are you even in NY?"

24 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:20 pm

I'm impressed that the wife caught that I'm wearing an away jersey.

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:20 pm

I’m confused. Since when is the DH used in an NL Park?

26 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:22 pm

Solid, Luis!

27 thelarmis   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:22 pm

Yes!

28 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:23 pm

St. Altuve grounds out. Amazing.

29 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:23 pm

Good start from Severino

30 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:23 pm

Nice frame from Luis!

31 51cq24   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:25 pm

[21] pizza hut is actually kind of good in a really gross way. or at least it was the last time i had it, which is like 15 years ago. dominos is terrible.

32 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:27 pm

I’ll take that line drive in the box score

33 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:27 pm

Don’t see that every day.

34 mhoward120   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:27 pm

Taco Hut? Wendy's?
Of course, respect MUST still be paid to White Castle - the burgers, not the fries.

35 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:27 pm

JV is robbed of a strike.

36 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:29 pm

It’s a catcher at first, no need to throw over

37 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:29 pm

Not going to hit that high cheese..

38 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:31 pm

[31] I rather like the mini-size Pizza Hut pizzas you can get at the ballpark because of the ratio of edge crust to everything.

The regular sized pizzas, though, not so much.

39 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:32 pm

This ump Fucking sucks. If you can’t call a curveball right down the middle a strike you should not be in this spot.

40 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:33 pm

Well, I have a feeling this is going to be a long, short game ...

41 mhoward120   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:37 pm

Sevvy, I hope that you realize that games like this make you a Yankee Legend.

42 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:39 pm

No walks!

43 mhoward120   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:43 pm

It went into the dirt because the bat never touched it.

44 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:44 pm

Nice! Call in The Score Truck!

45 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:44 pm

Ok Luis. Now, get some runs.

46 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:45 pm

[43] Agreed.

47 51cq24   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:46 pm

did gurriel almost do a bat flip on a bases empty walk?

48 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:47 pm

Somehow smoltz is making it sound like Sevy is doing poorly. Impressive actually.

49 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:47 pm

[47] not almost. He did.

50 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:48 pm

They seem to be swinging at the first pitch every AB..wise?

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:50 pm

That’s Headley.

52 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:50 pm

Lamar!

53 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:50 pm

Headley gets on base

54 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:50 pm

[50] If they're swinging at strikes ...

55 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:51 pm

Oops, remove the space in the url

56 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:51 pm

swinging early against JV makes some sense. don't let him go up 0 and 2

57 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:52 pm

54 I guess but..need to get into the Stros pen...

58 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:52 pm

[50] Mike Axisa at thinks it might be a good approach. I have no idea

59 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:52 pm

Ugh..automatic K now

60 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:52 pm

Like I said ... long, short game.

61 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:53 pm

the judge looked really outclassed.

62 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:53 pm

[50] Not when they have zero runs through 3 and v’s throwing 11 pitches an inning.

63 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:55 pm

62 Yes, even with one hit an inning he is only at 35 pitches. NG..

64 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:56 pm

The problem with swinging early is our best shot against him is probably fatigue.

65 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:56 pm

Gary does have soft mitts.

66 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:58 pm

Of course the best way to get to the soft underbelly of Astro’s BP, is to put some runs on the board

67 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:59 pm

Luis! Filthy fast!

68 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 20, 2017 7:59 pm

Luis. 101 k.

69 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:01 pm

JV is ready to throw 120
don't sweat the count, BE AGGRESSIVE

70 51cq24   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:02 pm

i don't mind that they were swinging early the first time through, but verlander obviously can see what's going on and won't keep throwing fastballs first pitch. so i think they have to adjust now.

71 51cq24   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:05 pm

[70] or he will and they'll keep popping up

72 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:05 pm

He’s still throwing fastballs to get ahead.

73 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:05 pm

If that is a strike high and outside at 97 the batters have no chance!

74 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:06 pm

They aren't breaking through - but they don't look awed or uncomfortable either. Pitch count is only one kind of stress, and they are making JV work IMHO.

75 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:08 pm

I Fucking hate verlander.

76 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:09 pm

Verlander is filthy tonight.

77 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:10 pm

Hardest hit balls so far are judge and Castro. Both happened to be ours which hurts.

78 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:11 pm

76 Yep, but they can break through. Luis is right there with him.
BTW, what is the Banter Approved nickname for Luis? Not Sevy..

79 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:13 pm

Siddown, squirt.

80 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:14 pm

Shut the F UP Altuve, you got owned in that AB

81 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:14 pm

Siddown, St. Altuve

82 51cq24   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:15 pm

have we missed the first pitch of the bottom of every inning? what the hell?

83 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:18 pm

great to get thru the heart again. SCORE SOME RUNS

84 mhoward120   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:18 pm

Sevvy is handling things very calmly.
A run would be so huuuuge.

85 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:21 pm

Why am I flashing back to Pettitte Smoltz in 1996?

86 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:23 pm

[78] I hate "Sevvy" as a "nickname" so much ... just as lazy as L-Sev or some dumb crap like that ...

87 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:24 pm

What do they call him in the clubhouse?

88 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:25 pm

87 The call him MISTER Severino ;)

89 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:25 pm

[86] les savy fav?

90 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:25 pm

:)

91 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:27 pm

Embarrassing swing. Geez.

92 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:27 pm

That last pitch was brutal.

93 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:27 pm

Ugh, what was that swing..

94 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:27 pm

well that sucked

95 51cq24   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:27 pm

they keep saying "verlander doesn't get the call" on pitches that their own stupid graphic show as balls

96 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:27 pm

[87] Not sure that should matter, Girardi just adds a -y to everyone's name ... doesn't a nickname make.

I'm going to guess that 3-Finger Brown wasn't commonly addressed as "3 Finger" by the guys ...

97 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:27 pm

If Verlander's "just TOYIN' with 'em" then how bout the guy matching bagels with fewer baserunners?

98 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:28 pm

verlander is in their heads. Badly.

99 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:31 pm

Walking this clown is bad news. Fucking shit!

100 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:31 pm

Sevy was a bit wild there

Show/Hide Comments 101-200
101 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:31 pm

Funny how TV shows Upton cheering but never says her name, at least that I've heard. Some brand / corporate issue?

102 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:32 pm

Do not like leadoff walks.

103 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:32 pm

Lead off walks = bad

104 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:33 pm

101 Model or not, I really hate seeing cutaway shots of family memebrs, etc. Olympics are unwatchable because of that.

105 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:34 pm

Oh, boy.

106 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:34 pm

If this were the Olympics we'd miss an inning so they could air a mini-documentary on how they met :)

107 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:34 pm

Alright Luis ... bear down here!

108 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:35 pm

[104] Only because every cut-away shot in the Olympics isn't to a model!

109 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:36 pm

Don't give in

110 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:36 pm

Nithing like walking the 6 and 8 batter.

111 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:37 pm

Ok, DP here

112 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:37 pm

Okay Mac is someone you can double up.

113 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:37 pm

Danger....

114 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:37 pm

Here comes McCann with the 3 run job.

115 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:37 pm

That's ok ... sets up the DP ... bear down, Severino.

116 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:37 pm

Uh, thanks Blue!

117 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:38 pm

Again!

118 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:38 pm

116 What goes around..

119 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:39 pm

Those were gifts, but "ball he couldn't do anything with" is a bit rich.

120 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:39 pm

Shit

121 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:39 pm

Well,fuck

122 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:39 pm

Close enough. Motherfucker.

123 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:40 pm

I said double... him up

124 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:40 pm

That could be the ballgame

125 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:42 pm

The unraveling.

126 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:42 pm

Gulp, now a DP

127 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:43 pm

No it’s the wide pitches dummy.

128 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:43 pm

sure need a DP niw

129 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:45 pm

I’ll take that

130 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:45 pm

That works.

131 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:45 pm

But it’s St. Altuve

132 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:46 pm

Severino should not have been left in to face Altuve there

133 thelarmis   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:47 pm

Um...FUCK!

134 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:47 pm

Modammit! L guess we’ll all be here tomorrow night

135 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:47 pm

His pitches just weren’t breaking anymore. It was very sudden.

136 51cq24   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:50 pm

that was a hanger but even so it was so obvious what he was going to throw, so annoying

137 thelarmis   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:56 pm

Why is Fucklander this good? : /

138 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:57 pm

H/T to Joel Sherman over on Twitter : If we're all back here tomorrow, all this early swinging and low pitch counts could open the door for JV to pull a Randy Johnson and ride in as a relief hero.

139 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 8:58 pm

137 HOF pitcher. Got to get a run back here before too late

140 thelarmis   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:00 pm

Fucking fuck fuck

C'mon, Sanchize!!

Ugh

149 thelarmis   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:04 pm

FUCK!!!!!!

Crap

151 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:04 pm

Uh ...

on 3-0?

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??!?!?!

152 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:05 pm

Awful.

153 knuckles   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:05 pm

That may have been the worst swing of the playoffs right there.

154 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:05 pm

Gary blew it there. Only swing 3-0 if you are on it.

155 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:05 pm

That check swing is a kick in the fucking balls. Gonna be a hard game to fucking win here.

156 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:06 pm

No idea what kind of swing that was. on 3-0!

157 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:07 pm

Expecting fastball and got a curve.

158 51cq24   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:07 pm

i don't like giving him the green light when it's so obvious he's not gonna get a fastball down the middle

159 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:08 pm

Need a quick sit-down here

160 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:12 pm

Is it Sabathia tomorrow then?

161 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:14 pm

Yes

162 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:14 pm

Mr. Donaghy says he didn't put you in to nibble at the corners.

163 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:15 pm

161 I"m very worried..

164 iyasu   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:15 pm

Sweet K

165 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:15 pm

Ok, get to work

166 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:15 pm

Sabathia. Or tomorrow could still be a travel day! Buck up, little camper. :)

167 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:18 pm

166 Weak espresso this AM, may need a redo to get energized..

168 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:19 pm

Seems no doubt that Verlander throws a CG shutout now though

169 iyasu   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:20 pm

Nice BB

170 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:20 pm

Good job Bird. Try to run extra fast now, okay?

171 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:21 pm

Hrs fatigued. Last two innings a lot more balls. He’s not 30 anymore. Recognize that.

172 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:21 pm

Way to wear it, Starlin

173 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:22 pm

How many times do we get hit but not get the call and then they get phantom hbp?

174 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:23 pm

You must break him

175 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:24 pm

C’mon, Hicks!

176 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:24 pm

THIS WILL NOT BE A MEATBALL

177 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:25 pm

No pressure

178 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:25 pm

Justin not so sharp now

179 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:25 pm

Or maybe

180 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:25 pm

Got to make this hurt.

181 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:25 pm

HOW IS THAT A STRIKE?

182 yankintexas   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:25 pm

Unbelievable

183 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:25 pm

His fastball has been slower too

184 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:25 pm

Oh fuck you blue

185 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:26 pm

Make him throw a strike

186 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:26 pm

Well ... garbage call, but this ump's been shiite all night

187 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:26 pm

Guess he won't be seeing that pitch again.

188 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:26 pm

I hope JV just shit his pants even a little

189 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:27 pm

Rip!

190 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:27 pm

186) At least he's equal opportunity. Been killing both sides.

191 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:27 pm

Got to go with a breaking ball to punch him out, right?

192 knuckles   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:27 pm

The 4-1 pitch is yanked foul.

193 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:27 pm

[186] For both sides, if that wasn't clear enough

194 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:27 pm

Wow, so confident in the heater.

195 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:28 pm

Hang in there Aaron!

196 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:29 pm

Fail.

197 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:29 pm

Great pitch.

198 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:29 pm

Crud

199 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:29 pm

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

200 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:30 pm

I believe in the Toddfather!

I would take a Toddfather knock, a hook, and 2.2 inn of Not Verlander.

202 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:31 pm

Whelp.

203 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:31 pm

Oh fer crying out loud!

204 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:31 pm

I hate Springer very much.

205 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:31 pm

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

206 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:32 pm

[204] Nah, any decent CF would make that.

207 knuckles   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:32 pm

Fucking fuckety fuck.

208 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:32 pm

Didn't say otherwise. Just hate him at the moment.

209 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:33 pm

Hit one in the seats, Head!

210 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:33 pm

They have had their chances, cant complain.

211 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:33 pm

How does Bird not tag on that? If it drops he scores.

212 yankintexas   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:33 pm

How many lives does Verlander have?

213 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:33 pm

Springer likes to slow down and then jump for those.

214 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:34 pm

Shite

215 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:35 pm

To be fair Altuve bobbles half of those.

216 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:35 pm

That"s it then..

217 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:35 pm

Brutal.

218 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:35 pm

Hopefully they keep Verlander in.

219 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:36 pm

213) Yeah, that was a bullshit jump. Gimme a break, guy.

220 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:36 pm

The Yankees strategy to swing early tonight completely backfired, Fuck! Hi killed them again! Fucking Bollocks!

221 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:37 pm

[220] classic overthinking. Verlander isn’t 30 anymore. We could have knocked him out 2 innings ago.

222 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:42 pm

Oh goody, the soft, soft underbelly that is the Astros BP. Which will show “heart” and “guts” tonight.

223 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:42 pm

Warren gotta be Warren

224 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:42 pm

221 Yep, ball 4 not called to Hicks also changed everything.

225 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:44 pm

[220] Nonsense. We had our chances, didn't get it done.

We knocked him out 2 innings prior from the last game ...

226 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:48 pm

[224] no doubt. Though the ump has been all over on that location...

227 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:49 pm

Yeah, I feel disappointed but not cheated.

228 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:49 pm

Blech!

229 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:49 pm

All Rise.

230 iyasu   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:49 pm

A shot!

231 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:49 pm

Well .. ALL RISE!

232 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:49 pm

Oh, my!

233 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:49 pm

Solo crack in the armor has been the winning formula before!

234 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:50 pm

Hell yeah beast of a court system!!

235 thelarmis   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:50 pm

Judge!!

236 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:50 pm

Now you Didi

237 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:52 pm

Goodness, Judge..that was majestic.

Thank you Hinch for bringing in Peacock instead of Giles or Devenski!

238 knuckles   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:52 pm

My word, that was a well-struck base ball.

239 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:53 pm

Dammit,Didi.

240 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:54 pm

Dammit, Gary.

241 knuckles   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:55 pm

These guys are all or nothing right now. Like Rob Deer Baseball on PlayStation.

242 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:55 pm

Gary has some rotten at bats.

243 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:55 pm

Ugh

244 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:57 pm

Gary is not finishing these at bats well: he worked that but then he’s guessing 3-2?

245 knuckles   ~  Oct 20, 2017 9:58 pm

PS- Altuve is annoying as fck.

Not sayin’ everyone has to be Barry Sanders, but c’mon, guy...

246 iyasu   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:00 pm

Wow...

247 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:01 pm

Oh fuck. I hate that little shit

248 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:01 pm

Fucking Terror Tot.

249 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:02 pm

Who's bringing the nachos tomorrow?

250 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:02 pm

Well, Game 7 tomorrow is going to be...tense...

251 yankintexas   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:04 pm

Let’s wake up every Houston bat before game 7

252 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:04 pm

Ugh, Hammer getting nailed tonight ... bring on Betances ...

253 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:04 pm

Given that I didn’t think this team was making the post season, this has been an enjoyable season. Hate this game though. And this Astros team

254 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:04 pm

Shoudnt they be saving Robertson for tomorrow??

255 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:05 pm

[245] as my fiancé noted like many shorter persons (comparatively to peers) he turns to cockiness to compensate. Just comes across as a Dick.

256 rob_smith_51   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:06 pm

Bring in Garcia. Save Robertson for tomorrow.

257 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:06 pm

I thought it was pretty obvious Robertson doesn’t have good stuff tonight

258 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:06 pm

Sigh. Goddamn fucking verlander. The dragon lives.

259 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:07 pm

Ok, see you all tomorrow for the 決定戦!

260 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:07 pm

Oooof ... bad time for a terrible game from the Hammer ...

261 thelarmis   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:07 pm

This is not good. Reminding me of the 15-2 drubbing in Game 6 in the desert. I can't watch tomorrow. Now, I'm worried.

262 rbj   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:07 pm

Night all

263 yankintexas   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:08 pm

Nice to see Sanchez worked on his fielding.

264 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:09 pm

When you settle a cantankerous child down to sleep, you better hope it stays that way. If the kid wakes back up, you're fucked. The Astros offense is jumping up and down in the crib tonight.

265 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:09 pm

[261] I’m definitely worried. But we do have the favorable pitching matchup. Hitting flat pitches isn’t too surprising I guess. Girardi simply wasn’t playing to win at this point or the quick hook would have been in play.

266 iyasu   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:12 pm

Helluva K by Big D.

267 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:13 pm

Alright ... Gn'ite!

268 Alex Belth   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:19 pm

CC has been so clutch in big games. But I fear he will get ripped tomorrow. The Astros were due to break out, now they are confident. Consider me extremely concerned.

269 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:27 pm

6 runs now would be fun.

270 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:31 pm

The booth Hates when the stros get squeezed.

271 thelarmis   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:31 pm

This sucks.

272 thelarmis   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:31 pm

Tomorrow is NOT going to be easy...

273 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:32 pm

Bummer.

274 thelarmis   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:33 pm

Feh.

275 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:34 pm

[270] it’s really bad. Even my baseball less knowledgeable fiancé who isn’t a Yankees fan is confused by how stupid they are.

276 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:37 pm

Bummed win tonight but alas.

277 seamus   ~  Oct 20, 2017 10:39 pm

Ugh sorry was distracted. Bummed that we didn’t get the win tonight. But this was always going to be a tough game. My biggest concern is that Robertson looked very fatigued.
