2019 ALCS - Yankees vs. Astros - General Gamethread

[staz]

So much for that new rule about not stepping out of the box whenever you want.

Gurriel: 0.156 OPS
Yordan: 0.230 OPS

Ouch.

Chirinos doesnt even have a hit yet.

 

[sean1562]

do we think the yanks fans screaming "upton" is classless? or is this my "hate everything yankees" bias coming out

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Astors will score plenty tonight. It's all about how many more the MFYs score

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

It's not classless, but it also isn't clever or interesting. It's simple and stupid, true to what they are.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

There are albatross contracts, and then there is the Giancarlo Stanton abomination. Oof.

It's annoying, not original, and dumb.

and THEN there is Jacoby Ellsbury haha

 

[sean1562]

come on Yordan, you are overdue

 

[RedOctober3829]

The wrong people are coming up with men on base tonight.

 

[soxin6]

Could the Astros give getting hits a try?

 

[snowmanny]

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.

But that Devers HR was a cheapie, said the announcers, about five times.

Haha you’re married to a supermodel!!!

I guess?

 

[Ale Xander]

Marisnick sucks

 

[E5 Yaz]

The Astros lineup after Bregman is a dumpster fire

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I submit that Bob Dylan's The Man In Me is perhaps the unlikeliest song to receive major airplay in both mainstream movies and commercials.

 

[Al Zarilla]

The Astros lineup after Bregman is a dumpster fire

Correa?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Correa?

.222 in the series, punctuate by two key home runs

 

[E5 Yaz]

Seriously, though ... all those who expected Houston to win all three games in the Bidet ... raise your hand

 

[sean1562]

to be fair the yanks bottom half has been pretty bad as well. the astros are still up 3-1

 

[Harry Hooper]

Throws him another questionable slider, but just a ground out this time instead of a tater.

 

[BigSoxFan]

F that. We’re not going there yet. C’mon Houston!

There have been a handful of teams that have won 7-game playoff series on the road in recent memory: 2016 Cubs (World Series), 2004 Boston Red Sox (ALCS), and the 2003 Florida Marlins (NLCS), but this Yankees team is completely finished. The Astros are a good, good team, much better than any of those 3.

I think the Astros are going to annihilate the Yankees tomorrow night.

Nats/Astros World Series. It's what we deserve as baseball fans.

I'll give you the other two, but the 2016 Cubs were a fucking monster team. 107-win pythag, +252 run differential. They were a peer of the 2018 Red Sox. This Astros team matches the 2016 Cubs' pythag at 107.

 

[E5 Yaz]

F that. We’re not going there yet. C’mon Houston!

I mean, I grant you, they got our hopes up ... but then the bitter stench of reality sinks in

 

[BigSoxFan]

They’re definitely in deep doodoo. No chance of a comeback tonight.

The Astros are done scoring for the night

 

[BigSoxFan]

The Astros are done scoring for the fortnight

FTFY

 

[sean1562]

[kartvelo]

[patoaflac]

Paxton will be destroyed in this inning.

 

[aksoxfan]

Mark Carlson strikes again.

 

[FenwayFrenzy]

Let's hope he's done for the night. Give me some Ottavino.

 

[shawnrbu]

Paxton earned his pinstripes tonight.

 

[InsideTheParker]

What are the fans chanting? It's so annoying.

 

[patoaflac]

What are the fans chanting? It's so annoying.

This is the last time they will sing in 2019 (supposedly their year).

 

[Al Zarilla]

Good thing Judge was sleeping on strike 1.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

 

[shawnrbu]

Judge catches everything.

[BigSoxFan]

Seriously, bench Yordan now

 

[InstaFace]

I'm really going to enjoy the 2-run bomb now.

edit: dammit. so close.

 

[Al Zarilla]

come on kid remember how to hit

He needs a break. Until March.

 

[aksoxfan]

Why the heck isn’t Reddick playing?

 

[PseuFighter]

[sean1562]

[LesterFan]

Gone with the juiced ball

 

[BigSoxFan]

Yup. Yankees/Nationals will be a fun series.

 

[DeadlySplitter]
