2019 ALCS - Yankees vs. Astros - General Gamethread

[StuckOnYouk]

The number of liners right at Yankees fielders in this series seems amazing. Whoever is in charge of positioning should get a hefty bonus.

3 of 5 Houston outs have been hard hit dammit

Houston will eventually capitalize. As bad as Grienke was, Tanaka isn't so sharp either.

 

[shawnrbu]

Tanaka is what we wished Dice K could have been from 09 to 12.

 

[StuckOnYouk]

Is Correa aware that Tanaka never throws heaters in the strike zone on purpose? If it's 3-1 and 3-2 you're still getting splitters or sliders.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Tanaka is what we wished Dice K could have been from 09 to 12.

Because they're both Japanese?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Because they're both Japanese?

I really think so...

 

[jon abbey]

I really think so...

I had the first two Vapors records on 90 minute cassettes with the first two Thomas Dolby records back in high school, thanks for the flashback.

Nice play Gurriel.

Gurriel really made a nice play. And kudos to you for getting my (now) obscure reference. I love that song. It couldn't ever be recorded today.

I remember with Elly Mae got the vapors

 

[shawnrbu]

Greinke with the sneaky cheese to fan Judge.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The man with the big REDDICK!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Hit and catchers interference.,,never seen that.

 

[sean1562]

that pitch was way outside, how is that a philosophy

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Tananka is rattled.

 

[phrenile]

Very nice.

 

[Ale Xander]

Go go gonyessssssss

 

[sean1562]

yaaaaasssss george!

 

[canderson]

YES!!!

 

[patinorange]

Smacked.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Delightful

 

[BornToRun]

Boom!

 

[Greg29fan]

crushed

 

[teddywingman]

Hell yeah! I could feel that coming. Tanaka looks hittable.

 

[E5 Yaz]

what wind blowing to right?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Yeah, no.

 

[Ale Xander]

That's huge in terms of bullpen decisions too. Win tonight and then you can have verlander go 9

 

[sean1562]

why are they making such a big deal about taking that pitch? it was way outside

 

[strek1]

That's better. Springer springs.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Good thing the wind is blowing out to right, although that laser might have got out anyway.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I was told the Yankees had this game won in the first inning. People actually quit a LCS playoff game to go watch KC stomp Denver in what amounts to a modestly important NFL game. Yet here we are.

 

[Fratboy]

SPRINGA

Need to spot Greinke a few more runs, I'm thinking.

 

[StuckOnYouk]

I think Springer is a FA after next year. If we lose Betts I'd love to sign him. CT kid who grew up a Sox fan. Huge balls on this kid.

 

[sean1562]

damn is that man fast

 

[Al Zarilla]

Lil dude can fly!

 

[Ale Xander]

Altuve is pretty good at hitting bad pitches for a short guy

 

[uncannymanny]

When does Boone come get him?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Arline is pretty good at hitting bad pitches for a short guy

Francis?

 

[sean1562]

man what a gift call

 

[Lowrielicious]

When does Boone come get him?

Things getting real tough real quick for him.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Always love the crowd shots of the sad mopes in the stands.

 

[strek1]

Don't swing at junk - OK Another hit!!!

 

[LesterFan]

Astros are too good.

 

[Ale Xander]

Paging Earl Weaver once again

 

[Al Zarilla]

Altuve is pretty good at hitting bad pitches for a short guy

He stands deep in the box, has short arms and still reaches balls on the outside corner. 40 inch bat or Extend-o arms?

 

[strek1]

Light em up!

 

[Ale Xander]

Ugggggh but good job getting runners to 2nd and 3rd

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Shit luck there

 

[Ale Xander]

Just a single please
