ALCS: Yankees vs Astros (Non-Yankees Fan Version)
- Thread starter DeadlySplitter
- Start date
I despise the Yankees with every fiber of my being. But I can acknowledge a great catch when I see one.
Bottom line is that Astros D has come through the last 2 games. Even when a dumb disaster could of happened, it didnt.
Might be the reason they pull this off.
That was a routine play in the first inning of a game that the Yankees are going to end up losing by 5 runs. Let it go.
CF is supposed to take charge.
The bigger question--that we'll never know the answer to--is whether Gonzalez really would have caught it. Springer got up pretty good to snag it, and Gonzalez looked very flat-footed waiting for it.
Endos catch was better (per your post yesterday:

Chavez' catch was one of the best of all time. Judge's catch was a phenomenal play but it certainly wasn't historic. But it's not the 4th best play of this game.
Just saw this. SUPREMELY confident, arrogant, cocky, well, you get the idea...
Springer had to leap at an angle, though, didn’t he? 3-4-5 triangle, where the ground is 3, Marwin 4 and Springer 5. Marwin doesn’t have to jump.
Green is unavailable, Kahnle pitched, Warren pitched, Betances sucks. So who?
Nothing moot until these fuckers are toast, as my friend E5 says.
I think I let McCullers keep pitching. The biggest problem I think these Astros have has been mental. McCullers has thrown to 27 Yankees. He has given up three hits and one run. Lots of that in Yankees Stadium. Yes, the one hit was 500 feet to Judge. But McCullers has not wilted under the bright lights. If they beat him fine, but if you're looking for an Astro that won't beat himself with more intense pressure than this team has faced since 1986, at least you have some evidence he is up for it.
Definitely. Bregman's throw was the best play of the game, that was just perfection in a huge spot.
Anyone have a contact at Elias who can find out when was the last time a team was down 2-0 and then lost the series?
That -- the core issue of astro mindset -- has been your point since the end of the alds. I agree with it.
I may look at this game tomorrow, as I just got in and heard an inning or so in the car on the way home. If this score holds, it will be particularly enjoyable to see the Baby Bombers fail to bomb. Or lay a bomb, so to speak. I guess they just haven't "adjusted" to Houston's pitching tonight. The only question I had as I listened was, shouldn't Kahnle have been taken out a runner sooner? (I mean, wasn't it obvious before the outcome?)
Do they have someone waiting in the wings? Watching the Red Sox et al search, don’t seem to be many good candidates.
Why would they fire Girardi? They exceeded expectations with a young team and made it to game 7. (Which isn't over yet).
I think he will definitely get a multi-year deal to stay if he wants, I think there is maybe a 20 percent chance he takes a year or two off to be with his family. He took that media and fan pummeling after game 2 of the ALDS hard.
Yeah, you wonder what McCullers might have done if he stays in after the Judge home run. Maybe he blows the next guy away.
If the wheels come off the bus for the Astors, you and I will know the real reason why.
But now they will say this was an excellent year, they Never expected to get this far. For me this is the abortion of the dynasty. MFY SUCK
