2019 ALCS - Yankees vs. Astros - General Gamethread

[brandonchristensen]

Cole's a beast.

 

[strek1]

Cole's a beast.

Right now he's a beast who's lost the zone.

 

[brandonchristensen]

He's okay now.

 

[phrenile]

Found it long enough.

 

[staz]

Sweet, beautiful squanderidge

 

[InsideTheParker]

Too bad, I liked the ump.

 

[gedman211]

That explains the ball 4 call to Hicks

 

[The Filthy One]

I'm surprised they are bringing Severino out for the 5th. I guess Boone feels he's settled down, but it's the third time through the order. Feels like a gamble.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cole’s at 70 pitches. A bullpen game later makes me nervous.

 

[E5 Yaz]

for those of us following here, ump injury?

Having to wait while the ump gets dressed, shouldn't help too much either...
Intersting decision

 

[The Raccoon]

for those of us following here, ump injury?

Yeah, took two good pitches to his face mask, finished the inning but seems to be shaken up.

 

[staz]

I could have donned a full hazmat PPE suit by now.

edit: and taken an epic dump

 

[RedOctober3829]

Why would Severino stay in this game yet he pulled Paxton when he did on Sunday? It makes no sense whatsoever.

One pitcher looks like shit and the other one doesnt? Severino has locked it down since the 2nd.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Severino is pitching well and the Astros offense has been meh.

 

[Fratboy]

Ignorant Yankee fans chanting "Who's your daddy?" at David Ortiz.

Really?

 

[RedOctober3829]

One pitcher looks like shit and the other one doesnt? Severino has locked it down since the 2nd.

He's already past his season high in pitches, he's sat down for this length of time, and the middle of the lineup is due up.

 

[Rough Carrigan]

Are they flying an ump in from out of town and having him get a full sports massage before continuing? WTF? That was ridiculous.

 

[gedman211]

let's not throw it up to the studio any more

 

[Fratboy]

let's not throw it up to the studio any more

That was painful to watch.

 

[Murderer's Crow]

He's already past his season high in pitches, he's sat down for this length of time, and the middle of the lineup is due up.

The season high wasn't because of an innings limit, they're still working his pitch count up. Boone has said a couple of times that he can go to 100.

 

[staz]

Smoltz: Severino getting stronger.

(base hit)

Buck: We'll see how long they stick with Severino

 

[shawnrbu]

Yankees are +340 on the moneyline. I smell money.

 

[gedman211]

Not good for Boone

 

[staz]

Standing ovation for 13 outs

 

[sean1562]

eh he has had a rough season, i get why theyd want to give their ace some love

 

[shawnrbu]

Alvarez has no chance to get a hit.

 

[RedOctober3829]

If he can ever connect...

 

[shawnrbu]

Bench Alvarez already.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Yordan is Soriano’ing

 

[shawnrbu]

Cole has not thrown a pitch in 30 minutes.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Yordan Alvarez looks like a rookie.

 

[jon abbey]

Cole has not thrown a pitch in 30 minutes.

They said he went inside with a ball during the delay to stay loose.

 

[shawnrbu]

Judge tried to ambush the first pitch.

 

[shawnrbu]

New ump has a wide zone to lefthanded hitters.

 

[E5 Yaz]

They said he went inside with a ball during the delay to stay loose.

I also would think he'd study some video of the first four innings to see if he could pick up something

 

[gedman211]

why throw offspeed to Edwin

 

[BigSoxFan]

Welp, no chance of 7 now. Just get out of this.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Didi says where the fuck is my juiced ball?

 

[canderson]

Normal pop up scary in that shithole.

 

[mauidano]

Whew! Guess that’s not out in The Toilet!!

 

[LesterFan]

Holy shit thank god for the postseason ball

 

[RedOctober3829]

Didi is just missing those Calm Eyes to will that ball out.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Astros probably aren’t scoring again

 

[Fratboy]

Didi got Truped by Sterling:

IT IS HIGH... IT IS FAR... IT IS...

caught at the wall.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Astros probably aren’t scoring again

Your lack of conviction concerns me

 

[BigSoxFan]

Your lack of conviction concerns me

Always leave yourself an out. I learned this from Astros hitters.

 

[shawnrbu]

5 runs in 25 Innings for the Astros offense.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Yup definitely different balls.
