2019 ALCS - Yankees vs. Astros - General Gamethread

[trekfan55]

Didi got Truped by Sterling:

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

caught at the wall.

Fox latin guys all but called the HR

 

[Fratboy]

This has to be Cole's last inning.

 

[Fratboy]

Bregman with a nice grab there.

 

[gedman211]

watching the last 2 AB makes me glad the Sox aren't facing this buzzsaw

 

[phrenile]

Quality start.

 

[StuckOnYouk]

Let him start the 7th with a guy warming behind him

 

[gedman211]

Hope Osuna's got it

 

[E5 Yaz]

Time to do damage, Houston

 

[gedman211]

no way he doesn't start the 7th. that was his best inning so far

 

[Wallball Tingle]

This has to be Cole's last inning.

Will Hinch push his starter like Martinez did yesterday? Both teams accused of poor bullpens, but Martinez had the benefit of a large lead...

Personally, I'd go with the starter till one guy gets on.

 

[RedOctober3829]

I'd start Cole in the 7th with the top of the order up. I'd seem to trust him moreso than anyone they have in the pen.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Not sure I want a tiring Cole against the top of the Yankee order

 

[Fratboy]

Ottavino? It feels like the Astros could break it wide open here.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Hicks=Pair of Shoes.

 

[mauidano]

Beautiful hit and run!

 

[shawnrbu]

Hit & run.

 

[BornToRun]

Watching other teams beat the hell out of each other is fun when you already had your historically awesome run the year prior and finished it off with a title.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Glorious Sterling Trupe job on the Didi shot from a couple innings back. Glorious.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Curse of the Bambino on Ottavino, who asked for it.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Altuve’s bat control is fantastic.

 

[BornToRun]

Brandon Workman > Ottavino just for the record.

 

[Wallball Tingle]

Watching other teams beat the hell out of each other is fun when you already had your historically awesome run the year prior and finished it off with a title.

Amen.

 

[mauidano]

Altuve’s bat control is fantastic.

He is just one of those “stop what you’re doing and watch” guys. Such a good hitter.

 

[patoaflac]

What would little Ottavino say of big Ottavino?

 

[BornToRun]

Should’ve just taken the two.

 

[mauidano]

Could have been worse.

 

[RedOctober3829]

What smart baserunning by the Astros.

 

[gedman211]

Boston would have managed to get 2 guys thrown out on that

 

[shawnrbu]

Sanchez!

 

[patoaflac]

As always umpires help the MFY.

 

[RedOctober3829]

SANCHIZE

 

[brandonchristensen]

Wow. Haha.

 

[mauidano]

At first if you don’t succeed throw it in the dirt again!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Garrrrrry

Garrrrrrrrry

 

[Fratboy]

BWAHAHAHAHA

 

[gedman211]

Release the Kraken!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Sanchez is not very good at catching.

 

[mauidano]

Huge sac fly!

 

[shawnrbu]

Tack on runs.

 

[Wallball Tingle]

Hell yeah.

 

[brandonchristensen]

4-0

Uh ohhh

 

[Fratboy]

SWEEEEEEET.

CALLED IT.

Kinda.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Little bit of breathing room

 

[shawnrbu]

Time to bring out Ronan for GBA.

 

[patoaflac]

Little Ottavino would be crying now because of Big Ottavino, what a shame.

 

[shawnrbu]

Little bit of breathing room

Even leads.

 

[gedman211]

I was just thinking the other day how much better Sanchez looks behind the plate the last few months

 

[RedOctober3829]

I was just thinking the other day how much better Sanchez looks behind the plate the last few months

He made no effort to block either ball. Tried to catch it in his glove.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Keeping him out?

 

[RedOctober3829]

Keeping him out?

With this lead, why not?
