How bad would Sanchez get roasted by the media if he had a game like that in the playoffs? |

Brewers are definitely who I am rooting for the rest of the way. Missed the game yesterday but a reliever took Kershaw deep???

Astros take ugly game 1 over the Red Sox
There were 14 walks, three hit batters, two wild pitches, two errors, a blooper to right field that featured a runner reaching second base and then heading back to first base, then turning back to second base, called safe, and then after a two-minute replay review to be ruled out. One pitch with a 99.8 percent strike probability was called a ball. A borderline strike-three call resulted in Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora getting ejected from the game.
Boston's Chris Sale threw one pitch behind a batter. Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander was cruising along and then suddenly walked three batters in a row in the fifth inning. Alex Bregman was hit by a 100 mph fastball and had a little stare-down with Joe Kelly in a situation that was quickly defused by catcher Christian Vazquez. One throw on a stolen-base attempt at second base sailed wide and hit umpire Joe West -- and the fans cheered. The Red Sox struck out twice in the eighth on pitches that got away from the catcher and required throws to first base. The go-ahead run, of course, was unearned, and then the Astros even removed all potential for late-game drama when they scored four runs in the top of the ninth.

This doesn't help, knowing that our team was talented enough to beat either of these teams if they had played their best. |

All these pitching changes and replays aren't good for the game or for attracting new viewers. We don't 4+ hour baseball games. |

Starting pitching. Tanaka has proven that he handles big games quite well and can keep any game close. Severino can be dominant when he's not tipping his pitches, alas he did so for months. Sabathia must be nearly perfect to get through five innings. Happ doesn't shrink in big games, but he's serviceable and never to be confused with dominant. Gray and Lynn are bad coin flips.
I like Chance Adams, but I feel the Yankees aren't sold on him since his surgery. I love Loaisiga's stuff, but his smallish frame and injury history may signal he's more suited to the bullpen. Montgomery could be Pettitte-like, but who knows how he'll respond from Tommy John surgery, and I'm not certain he has Pettitte's tenacity and bull-doggedness. Forgive me everyone, but I just don't believe in Justice Sheffield. Yankees need a Sherzer...Verlanderesque type to complete this pitching staff.

This doesn't help, knowing that our team was talented enough to beat either of these teams if they had played their best. So frustrating. Especially knowing that Sale was out of bullets. Imagine how he would have pitched two days earlier for Game 5 coming off pitching the 8th in Game 4?  |

Price lifted with a one run lead and two outs in the fifth, still won't win a postseason start.
