You guys are taking the troll bait. He’s posted this repeatedly. Repeatedly people have patiently, with facts, explained why he’s wrong. He keeps repeating it. Just ignore it. Yea sorry. I should know better. |

The regular season means zero in the play offs. Please tell me how having I dunno, Max Scherzer on the Yankees in this game wins it for them? Do you really think they win this game 1-0? Why not. Houston could have scored 2 in this game to won. My point would be its hard (not impossible but really hard) to beat someone who can pitch Verlander and Cole. And the Yankees don't understand this as an organization. They have been unwilling to go out and get some one like them - they probably could have gotten Verlander when he left Detroit had they made the effort. |

Also Torres needs to bat third. I try not to focus on lineup stuff because it generally doesn’t matter but to me that was one of Boone’s three mistakes. Boone has been incredible this season in my opinion and should win manager of the year running away. And in the playoffs so far he’s been great. But tonight barring Torres, our best hitter, behind Gardner and Encarnacion was strange. It cost Gleyber a couple of ABs and did nothing for Gardner and Encarnacion. And the game ends with him in the hole in the dugout. The other two mistakes I can’t explain were sending Severino out after the delay knowing he only had a few pitches left. Maybe that didn’t matter in the end but it still didn’t make sense. The third was putting Ottavino who has been unreliable for a few weeks into a high leverage crucial spot. That set up the insurance runs. All that said, they lost because the best pitcher in baseball was mortal but good enough against a lineup that didn’t come through when it had opportunities. |

I should know better. No big deal but he doesn’t care what anyone thinks he just came here for the argument, like the Monty Python skit. Except not funny. |

I should not have argued my point. |

Exactly they had their chances to score and they didn't. I still think they can win these next two.

I don't come here to argue. I state things that many here disagree with. I probably should just shut up, but I have not learned to do so.

Exactly they had their chances to score and they didn't. I still think they can win these next two. Absolutely they can. Over the last 20+ years they beat the best pitcher in baseball in big games several times. They’ve faced teams with 2 of the best pitchers in series before and won. There’s not a reason to believe they can’t win. That they didn’t win all three of these games when they were there for the taking is disappointing but unless you’re naturally a pessimist it doesn’t correlate to doom and gloom. We go into Game 4 on Thursday with one of the best pitchers in playoff history on the mound, in our park. |

Runs scored this series: Yankees - 10 Astros - 7 So, who has had the better pitching in this series? |

Runs scored this series: Yankees - 10 Astros - 7 So, who has had the better pitching in this series? You ignore when the good Houston pitchers were pitching (which we will have to likely face 2 more times) we scored 3. Scoring 7 in the third game does not address anymore than it would if we had scored 20 in that game. The trouble in this series is that we likely will have to face Verlander and Cole 4 times on regular rest. And there is no obvious way to win that way. Its not pitching per se, its the rare true ace (two of them). We can beat a good pitching team. Iam not sure we can beat them. Hopefully we will. We need to win by game 6 and not face Cole again who is simply impossible right now. |

We need to win by game 6 and not face Cole again who is simply impossible right now. I stated the facts and ignored nothing. And Zach Grienke is a guy a lot of Yankees fans were crying about because Cashman didn't trade for him, so I think he counts as a good pitcher and the Yankees beat him. The Great Verlander would have took a loss in Game 2 if Ottavino didn't blow the lead, so the Yankees could certainly beat him later this series. People over analyze this stuff, even tonight, as good as Cole was, if DiDi drive to RF goes a couple more feet, it's a three run HR. That's how close these last two games have been. |
