Happy Yankees Elimination Day!

[cromulence]

Hicks is out for 6 weeks, so there was no decision to be made there - he's done. The question was how he'd be replaced. Some thought they'd put DJ back in there and leave Peraza off, but that never made much sense to me. DJ seems like he's not gonna be himself until next year.

Hicks is a sneaky big loss. He took Pressly deep in one of the 9th Inning comebacks this year.

He also won a 2019 ALCS game against Verlander with a HR off the RF foul pole, but I don’t think current Hicks is a loss.

11 of 12 writers at ESPN picked the Astros. Joon Lee was the lone Yankee vote.

The Yankees are the plucky underdogs. It’s all they have ever been.

I was stunned to see he actually had a 1.8 bWAR this year. A .330 OBP while physically occupying center field goes a long way these days

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

No runs but 22 pitches for Verlander.

 

[phrenile]

Squander.

 

[canderson]

Verlander giving up bombs in the playoffs? I am SHOCKED.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Houston is leaving a lot of runners on.

 

[Ale Xander]

Darling really hates Clemens

Tucker must die

 

[Ale Xander]

$96k for 50/50 is impressive, right Lose?

STFd pornstache

 

[shawnrbu]

Has anyone told Carpenter how ridiculous he looks with that cookie duster?

Crooked number for Astros coming right up

Yes.

F Stanton

 

[Ale Xander]

Too early to Ph CV?

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

6 straight K for Verlander.

 

[Ale Xander]

Bats please

 

[Kliq]

Verlander is a hell of a pitcher. Awesome career.

 

[strek1]

Altuve has had a brutal post season so far.

 

[Ale Xander]

LFG

 

[Ale Xander]

Both strikes loooked high

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Loaded!

 

[Ale Xander]

Huuuuuuuge AB here

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

C’mon Blue

 

[Ale Xander]

Give me a break

 

[shawnrbu]

Not even close.

 

[JOBU]

This ump sucks

 

[ernieshore]

Hey - it’s Enrico Polazzo!

 

[JOBU]

Fuck

 

[Ale Xander]

Tucker must die

 

[phrenile]

That would've been a good spot for both teams to catch pellagra.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Nice squander Astros. I feel so dirty rooting for Houston. Have to keep reminding myself of the greater good. And Dusty Baker.

 

[Ale Xander]

Is there a pitch count? 105? 110?

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

K!

 

[shawnrbu]

11 K’s.

 

[Ale Xander]

STFD

I’m tempted to keep Verlander in for a batter or two.

 

[Ale Xander]

Fuck yes

 

[shawnrbu]

Crawford Boxes.

 

[shawnrbu]

If Tucker struck out or popped out last time, it might be 5-1.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

If Tucker struck out or popped out last time, it might be 5-1.

If he hit a double, it might be 3-1 or 4-1

 

[phrenile]

It just might be 3-1.

 

[JOBU]

Unfortunate turn of events here. Tragic

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Yeah!

 

[Ale Xander]

Spicy!

thank you, Clarke Schidt

 

[Max Power]

McCormick! Spicy!
