2019 ALCS - Yankees vs. Astros - General Gamethread

[E5 Yaz]

Seriously, three ropes, in three batters.

Any whistling from the Yankee bench?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Stanton, LOL. Sit your over-matched ass down.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Hope Hicks whiffs, too.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Show Justin’s wife once when it isn’t going well.

Another K now, please.

 

[donutogre]

Wow, this is not the start I was hoping for from Verlander. Really hope he settles down after this inning.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Its hard coming back so soon against a good team. I know, Gibson, Lolich, Bumgarner...

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

He Bellhorned it. Goddamn.

 

[soxin6]

Way to come up small

 

[canderson]

Well game 7 will be fun.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Weak, Justin

 

[johnmd20]

Well, if the Yanks were going to get back into this, this is a good start. Bleh.

 

[sean1562]

that was crushed. verlander looks like trash. keep running him out there or what?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Hooking, would have gone foul anywhere else. Well...

 

[Flynn4ever]

Goddammit! Did yesterday's reverse jinx not work? 4 won't be enough though if Verlander bears down.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Ah, the old Verlander bugaboo, the longball. Somewhere, Michael Napoli smiles knowingly.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

as flat as he was in Tampa. interesting.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Springer and Correa are the only ones hitting in this Astros lineup. They aren’t coming back from a 3 run deficit.

 

[Al Zarilla]

JV fading? Getting old? Should give TB12 a call.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Series is over; Astros gave it their best shot.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Springer and Correa are the only ones hitting in this Astros lineup. They aren’t coming back from a 3 run deficit.

They will come back to win this.

 

[sean1562]

or you could say they are all overdue to break out and destroy paxton. im gonna run with that for a bit

 

[Al Zarilla]

I think you’d say Altuve is hitting.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Springer and Correa are the only ones hitting in this Astros lineup. They aren’t coming back from a 3 run deficit.

Bregman just hit a 300 foot rocket to left not 15 minutes ago.

 

[PseuFighter]

props to jared carrabis seated next to marlins man.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Yordan sucks ass

 

[InsideTheParker]

I recall the Sox beating Verlander in the ALCS. Is this so different? (My memory is a sieve).

It was a very low scoring game in Detroit. They didn't jump on him like this.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Chirinos could strike out walking to the plate from the on-deck circle

 

[RedOctober3829]

Tying run up. Come on Springer.

 

[sean1562]

they are fouling off a ton of pitches. just cant catch up with the fastball or what?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Yordan sucks ass

Reddick was .309/.345/.491 this year vs. lefties. 110 ABs. Play him.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Weak effort from the Spring Man.

 

[sean1562]

Alvarez was .307/.389/.649 against LHPs. The guy raked during the regular season

 

[patinorange]

Hey Houston, free advice. High fastball is coming. Lay off it.

 

[Al Zarilla]

He didn’t strike out the side Joe. Go back to football. Actually, you’re meh in that too.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I was referring to last year. I ought to look it up.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Doubt if he’d hit underhand lobs right now.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Has this crowd seen a game in person? That was a lazy 220 foot pop up.

Three-run home run in August

 

[uncannymanny]

Woulda made it if he wasn’t carrying around 85lbs of cranium.

 

[sean1562]

at least paxton has over 50 pitches through 2 innings?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Three-run home run in August

A fair point, to be sure.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Astros need to score this inning to make Boone over-think his bullpen usage

 

[RedOctober3829]

I was referring to last year. I ought to look it up.

We lost 7-2 in Game 1 to him but won Game 5 4-1. JD hit a HR off of Verlander in the 3rd and Devers hit a 3-run HR in the 6th.

 

[canderson]

NY is gonna get 14+ straight innings of the Houston pen. This is going 7.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Tough play?

I mean, he made it a tough play, sure.

 

[uncannymanny]

Live shot of James Paxton

 

[BigSoxFan]

Gurriel: 0.156 OPS
Yordan: 0.230 OPS

Ouch.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Gurriel: 0.156 OPS
Yordan: 0.230 OPS

Ouch.

You don't get it ... the whistling from the dugout gave all their hitters better

 

[InsideTheParker]

We lost 7-2 in Game 1 to him but won Game 5 4-1. JD hit a HR off of Verlander in the 3rd and Devers hit a 3-run HR in the 6th.

Thanks, much appreciated.
