One more friends!!!!!!

Im sure that going home will help them but the Houston bats pretty much quit those last 3 innings.

 

[Machinehead]

I think it's important to remember, mentally, that we have two cracks and a good pitching matchup in game 7.

Don't get down if Verlander is lights out and they win.

 

[Cassano]

Everyone is talking about how good Verlander is and for good reason. But Severino was pretty damn good too.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Many Yankee fans doubted around the TDL if they should buy THIS year.. hats off to Brian Cashman for believing in his team.

Starting pitching can take a team anywhere. It's an adage as old as the game itself and it's f***ing true.

Our starting pitching has been biting-heads-off-of-bats insane.

 

[BB58]

One more to go.

"Yankees have no starting pitching"

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Super worried about Severino honestly, but at least we have two games to work with.

 

[Inferno]

this has been an incredible postseason.

Hitters vs Tanaka Last 4 GS: .141/.168/.185 2017 MLB Pitchers Batting: .124/.156/.161 They've been better than pitchers, but not by much

Who in this postseason is pitching better than Tanaka? Last 4 starts: 27 IP, 13 hits, 31 K's, a mere 2 runs. That's a 0.67 ERA #domination

Im worried about a potential shoulder issue with him. If hes really okay, he'll be fine.

It's important that they get an early lead. The second the Yankees added runs 3 and 4 today, the Astros hitters basically gave up.

I needed that reminder, thanks . It's so damn good to be a Yankee fan right now tho.

One more boys and girls. Now the hard part ... winning one on the road. Hopefully Verlander is fatigued from throwing 125 pitches last start. The success formula is simple ... get Verlander's pitch count up and make their pen beat you.

 

[darko]

The thing with developing prospects as we know... is that they could all fizzle out potentially. I worry about that with the Yankees, they have lots of good pieces but we have to see how they perform in an ever increasing role up to and through the majors. Don't want to put all the eggs in the basket so to speak but they look good and it's very interesting that they made it to the ALCS/comparable conference final. I have shell shock with prospect development and such.

Prospects do fizzle out with some regularity but rebuilding with positional prospects isn't the same as with pitching. Pitching can be so volatile.

 

[darko]

Whatever happens in the rest of this postseason, this team will be making us proud for a long time. I love these guys.

f*** yeah.

Astros talked about how loud it was at Yankee Stadium:
"New York is no joke," Keuchel said.

"This is a wild place to play," Springer said.

Correa: "It was crazy. I never heard anything as loud as it was yesterday when Gary hit that double. Loudest I've ever been part of."

 

[Cassano]

Dodgers were the best team in baseball, but they have Ethier, Utley and Granderson starting for them tonight.

This would've been an elite trio to work with in 2009.

Brian McTaggart is a really good guy to follow if you are trying to keep tabs on Astros. Straight shooter too which is what i really like about him.

 

[Machinehead]

Regulars were priced of Yankee Stadium too.

But it's still loud because the team isn't f***ing boring.

The Rangers should try that.

The Ghosts have found their way home.

A buddy of mine was at the game and had similar things to say about the Sanchez double.

Said it was the 2nd loudest he's ever heard stadium (both new and old) next to Scott Brosius' game tying home run in game 5 against Arizona.

Just glad Bird wanted to play this postseason. Seriously though, first time Yankees have had four hitters(Didi/Bird/Sanchez/Judge) belt 3+ homeruns in one postseason.

Lol.

Hopefully that garbage notion can never be heard of again. At least the Knicks seem to be embracing that as well.
