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

[KaylaJ]

I got nothing but good luck Yankee fans. If I don't make it, please distribute my trophy points evenly...

I think Robertson can still be effective but you have to be careful who he follows.

Robertson after 99, 100 just speeds up their bats. He should be fine if he follows CC.

Robertson may be toast. He has looked off every appearance dating back to game 2 now. I'm not sure if its a funk or he simply is gassed. If its the latter the Yankees won't have much of a shot vs LA if they advance. Without Robertson Kahnle would have to pitch like Jesus

Robertson had a heavy workload.

Nothing wrong with pitching Kahnle. He's really good.

I'd expect to see Keuchel tomorrow at some point for Houston. But I'd be shocked to see Verlander.

Expecting Keuchel out of the pen for anywhere up to 50 pitches.

 

[Machinehead]

Hmm not sure what to make of game 7. On one hand, I'm pretty confident with CC, but the Astros offense looks lethal once again.

So did ours late in game 4 and in game 5. Starting pitching stops it real quick.

If CC is on and we get a few, I'm very confident.

I have a lot more faith in CC being on than getting a few at this point though.

Expecting Keuchel out of the pen for anywhere up to 50 pitches.

At this point my bull pen options would be him, McCullers, and McHugh.

 

[NJDevs26]

Depends on how he pitches. If he gets shelled and Yankees still win he's not getting any hardware.

And if he pitches four innings and gives up a run or two he's not getting it either. He'd need another 6 IP, 2 ER or less type game I think. They'd probably give it to Judge if anything - especially with a big hit or two tonight - unless CC does pitch a gem. Headley's 7-15 but with only one RBI so I doubt they'd give it to him.

 

[Halladay]

Unless the Astros just crush CC, it is going to be hard for them to piece together 27 outs imo.

All about the pitching for Houston

 

[Burke the Legend]

Verlander such a horse. Ryan Getzlaf of baseball. Those years where he took the Tigers to the series were some of the best pitching diplays I ever seen. So happy to see him back at it.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Except Getzlaf has never led his team to the finals, that was Pronger and Niedermeyer.

 

[Terry Yake]

yeah i wouldn't compare verlander to getzlaf

hockey isn't one of those sports where one guy can carry a team all the way. although js giguere came very close to doing just that in '03

What a good day to be alive

 

[solventless710]

Could see John Smoltz having a nervous breakdown tonight live on air if game doesn't go in Houston's favor.

 

[punk_o_holic]

Bregman batting 2nd. Reddick batting 9th. Prediction Reddick has a key hit. Let's go Astros!

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Go Astros!

Hopefully it's a classic.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I have faith in CC.

Yanks have enough in the tank with Kahnle and Chappie to get the rest of the outs.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Morton with a dominant inning.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Wonder if CC will complain that he was forced to field his position on that grounder.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Astros clearly were told to swing early in the count.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

An astonishing grab by Judge!

 

[canucksfan]

What a catch

 

[Emperoreddy]

My MVP!!

 

[robert terwilliger]

smoltz is really turning into a f***ing windbag, man.
