GDT: 2019 ALCS: (1) Houston Astros vs (2) New York Yankees - HOU wins 4-2

[NJDevs26]

Chapman tired at the end there?

Tired from what? The dude pitched 2.2 innings in the series, 5.1 innings this month. This wasn't exactly 2016 with Maddon treating him like a starting pitcher.

 

[BMOK33]

The second most joyous thing to a Red Sox World Series is a Yankees (especially a painful) elimination.

Well done Houston.

It’s still likely they’ll win one in the next 2-3 years. They’re simply too good and they’ll probably sign both Wheeler and Cole this winter. The main question is how many more years can they get out of guys like Green Kahnle and Chapman that are this good? It’s likely sooner or later these guys are gonna have down years

True, but I thought they said he pitched three days in a row on the broadcast. That’s a lot for any closer. Especially with no days off in between.

Two days in a row, he didn't pitch when they got spanked in Game 4. And he threw nine pitches in Game 5.

Ahh ok, thanks. Maybe he wasn’t. Just glad the Yankees lost.

There’s no guarantee. They’re still too HR dependent and K heavy. Chapman is on the downside of his career and Betances can’t stay healthy. They need more Lemahieu’s in their lineup but those guys aren’t readily available.

I think even if it stayed in unless it took a remarkably fortunate bounce directly to the CF or LF it was scoring the run from 1st

kinda like Ishikawa in 2014. Even if it bounced off the wall, a run was scoring

Would be shocked if Cole goes to the Yankees. Angels are gonna make him part owner to get him to be their ace.

They said he would need to pitch 3 days on a row if they were going to win this series. Meaning he would pitch tmro in game 7

 

[Rob]

I knew that frame would show up.

 

[NJDevs26]

I mean if people want to rip Chapman for that reaction vaya con dios...I just take it as a sarcastic smile given the situation.

 

[punk_o_holic]

High five to duke33. Please 4 more wins. Pitching matchup will be unreal. Hopefully they do a better job at capitalizing with runners on. Baseball playoffs is going to kill me. My heart can't take it

 

[Rob]

Interesting note. This will be the first decade in century that the Yankees have not appeared in a World Series.

If you like hitting and HR, this WS is the worst possible outcome

There's only one team I dislike more than the Yanks .....the Redsox. I too am happy the Yanks are gone.

Not worried if I'm a Yankees fan.. A WS is imminent. They'll get better starting pitching and better bullpen. Also a Healthy Stanton and Andujar may have been enough to get through the Astros.
Yanks have had injuries all year and even so managed to be arguably baseball's team

 

[JeremyTB]

WTF did he have a side bet on the Astros or something?

 

[Cassano]

2010 Yankees era is an embarrassment.

 

[PG Canuck]

Ya just hate to see it!

now I don’t have to worry about who wins the WS. Happy with whoever.

At least the Yankees aren’t in it.

hopefully the first of many more ahead

 

[BKIslandersFan]

What a disgrace the Yankees are. What a joke.

Urshela is better than Andujar.

Cash man has built a team that is fundamentally wrong.

He expects to slug your way to a World Series which might work once if you get lucky and better teams choke.

He has failed to get the starting pitching you need to win in October. He failed to get a lineup and a coaching staff to instill a mindset to worry about contact.

It’s all big HR or strikeout. When the pitching is at its best. You need to choke up and grind out a single or a walk.

DJ and Torres were the only ones pulling their weight. What good was EE? Sanchez. Yankee fans love Gardner but he was a heaping helping of worthless. Glad we had him hitting 5 for half the series.

Osuna. Chapman. Not a good night to be a domestic abuser.
