GDT: 2017 ALCS: (2) Houston Astros vs (WC1) New York Yankees

[NJDevs26]

We are really gonna play the division game? Please.

Had they not comeback last year, we would have said the Cubs offense put up video game numbers against bad NL Central pitching.

If anything, I think deep down the Astros probably wish the Indians had won instead.

But they've proven over the long haul (three years) they are a legit top offense. And they did come back, and they didn't bat a record low for a seven-game series.

The NL Central pitching staffs weren't even THAT bad the last few years, at least not at the top with the Cards/Pirates. You play almost half your games in division and the AL West staffs were absolutely atrocious this year. The Angels' best starter was who, JC Ramirez or Parker Bridwell? The Mariners' staff was Paxton, an x-ray machine and replacement castoffs. The Rangers' only starting pitcher below a 4 ERA was Cashner, who fluked his way to a decent season. Even Darvish and Hamels didn't pitch that great this year. Oakland had half a season of Sonny Gray and junk aside from his 16 starts.

Verlander and Severino based on the 1st.

 

[Machinehead]

I'm like, so proud of my pitcher every single time we get Altuve out.

 

[Machinehead]

Nice hustle, Gary.

 

[Machinehead]

Verlander getting away with murder.

 

[Blueblood9]

i like the yankees strategy swinging at the 1st pitch if its any where near the strike zone

 

[John Price]

we win today das it

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Gurriel continues to be the only Astros hitter with a pulse. He walks.

 

[Machinehead]

we win today das it

Ok, Mariano Duncan

 

[Blueblood9]

we win today das it

forgot the first part of the saying.

We play today
we win today
das it

 

[Machinehead]

Yankees are playing with a time bomb if they keep leaving hits at first base.

 

[Machinehead]

What a putrid at-bat

 

[Blueblood9]

they need to string some hits together build that pitch count

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

101 MPH.

 

[Machinehead]

Severino has been superlative, but I would feel so much better if we scored

 

[DougieSmash]

In last few games Astros offense looks like Padres

 

[Machinehead]

Yeah, we're not scoring on Verlander.

Just hope he doesn't pitch all 9 innings again.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Verlander just continues to roll.

 

[Del Preston]

Nice swing.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Gattis walks and the Astros have 2 on with 1 out.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

McCann!!! A ground rule double puts Houston on the board!

 

[Machinehead]

That's game

i want the catchers to be tethered so they can't reach beyond the first bit of grass on the way to the mound.

this is f***ing ridiculous.
