The Astros really need to get their offense in gear....better pitching couldn’t hurt, either.

it is crazy that hitters as good as bregman and alvarez can be so bad in such an important series. imagine if betts AND JD had those lines last year

 

[stp130]

Buck always sounds so disappointed when the Yankees make outs.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Really sucks that Forrest Whitley couldn’t figure it out this year. He would have been perfect for this role.

 

[PseuFighter]

saturn balls.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The once-great Aaron Judge goes down with a whimper.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Smoltz scouted for that AB

 

[Ale Xander]

More runs, Astros hitters, please.

 

[patoaflac]

New york K-man.

Really sucks that Forrest Whitley couldn’t figure it out this year. He would have been perfect for this role.

He gave up two homers today in Arizona, although he has been pitching well there. They will likely need him next year, even with McCullers back.

 

[curly2]

If Greinke can pitch, doesn't he have to come in for the fifth? Get him for the fifth and the sixth and have Harris and Osuna split the last nine outs.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Need runs now, but the bottom of the Astros lineup has been dreadful.

 

[patoaflac]

What kind of name is Urquiddy?

Basque.

 

[Ale Xander]

Cessna is a great name for a Yankees pitcher.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Need runs now, but the bottom of the Astros lineup has been dreadful.

Top of lineup hasn’t been great either. They just can’t string together hits.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Take it easy with the Arenado comps.

 

[teddywingman]

Cessna is a great name for a Yankees pitcher.

Nice.

 

[InstaFace]

How long does Peacock go?

Google says this:

Indian peafowl: 10 – 25 years

These are the kind of insights you just don't get from Joe Buck.

 

[BigSoxFan]

You don’t even need to throw strikes to Yordan

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice.

Great compliment coming from a username such as yours.

 

[patinorange]

Keep running him out there. jeesh.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Pathetic

 

[Ale Xander]

Alvarez is as lost at the plate as an Uber driver on Beacon Hill.

 

[patoaflac]

Alvarez is as lost at the plate like an Uber driver on Beacon Hill.

As most Stros .

 

[BigSoxFan]

Alvarez is as lost at the plate like an Uber driver on Beacon Hill.

Hinch should have benched him tonight. Complete liability.

 

[shawnrbu]

Crooked number inning incoming.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

No fucking shit this game is big for Houston, Smoltz.

I’m waiting for him to drop a ‘this game is big for the Yankees but it’s REALLY big for the Astros.’

 

[Al Zarilla]

Hinch should have benched him tonight. Complete liability.

Like if Devers was 1 for 20 in his first ALCS, I think we’d be screaming even for Nunez, and Cora would oblige.

 

[patinorange]

Buck is just fascinated by the Hicks story.

 

[Ale Xander]

It's a waste of that seat giving it to Russ.

 

[curly2]

Buck is just fascinated by the Hicks story.

Yes. It's good, but Kyle Schwarber's was better.

 

[phrenile]

Sit.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Yes in-goddamn-deedy, Mr. Urquidy!

 

[staz]

Sit bitch

Encarnacion is more cooked than lunchroom meat.

 

[staz]

SAFE

 

[PseuFighter]

[patoaflac]

Safe

 

[RedOctober3829]

Jake Taylor Maldonado

 

[shawnrbu]

Sanchez too cool for school.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

That replay will be candy for Maldonado.

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

What a bad call

 

[Al Zarilla]

Best bunt by a catcher ever.

 

[Ale Xander]

Good time for a crooked inning with top of the order coming up

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

A HR now would demoralize the Manhattan Yankees of the Bronx.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

How does the first base ump miss that. It's a pretty basic, easy call

 

[BigSoxFan]

So many missed pitches

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Reddick is too cool to bunt.
