Hanging slider. Should not have thrown them back to back. In the end, Chapman fell behind both Springer and Altuve. Yankees did themselves no favors in this series. Houston was the better fundamental baseball team. We make far too many mistakes in the field and on the bases, and the Astros put more balls in play. Urshela and LeMahieu nearly won this game for us.
Also, I believe we would have been better off starting Happ and following with Cessa. I really cannot stand the one-inning opener bullshit. Please make a note to scrap this abomination next year.

Yankees off season goal=get better than astros They can start by preaching and practicing the basics of base running. Amazing how many innings we ran ourselves out of during the season and the playoffs. |

Yankees off season goal=get better than astros Honestly even with the Astros aces the yankees were an extra hit here or there in most of the games away. I'm really not sure the talent level is that far off. Obviously a real starter would help opposed to these bullpen games, but outside of the green homer the only run they gave up was a failed dp ball that scored a run the entire game for 8 innings? Sure Champman should he able to get out of that inning with the bases empty and 2 outs, but most problems in this series were not getting the scoring hits at the right times. |

AGREED Blame German for that. That's a 19 game winner that could have been pitching instead. Really screwed over his team with his terrible behavior. |

Yeah German's tool... The offense definately could've used the regular season ball I'm convinced they missed 3-4 homers that would've been gone in the regular season

Injuries finally bit us in the rear at the end. EE came back. Hicks came back. Severino came back. Sanchez came back. Voit came back. Didi came back. Stanton came back. But really... were any of them right? Too many guys that weren’t in mid season form. A guy here and there at 90% is one thing, but add a couple more at 60-70%, and then rely on them in the line up and on the field, and you come up a bit short.
I don’t think you can discount what we lost without Tauchman when he went down, either. I do like the idea of reducing strikeouts in our lineup, nor the idea of adding some more speed in the lineup. Is Cole a must? No. But he’d sure help. Either that or we have depend on Severino or Paxton becoming a match for him. That could happen...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of HRs, it was the age of injuries, it was the epoch of the regular season juiced ball, it was the epoch of the playoff dead ball, it was the season of highlight real catches, it was the season of doofus baserunning, it was the spring of hope, it was the fall of despair... I wrote this before the top of the ninth, deleted it after DJs HR, and then wrote it again after Altuve's HR.  |

But is it the ball, or just the affect of the weather cooling down? That’s one part of baseball that alway’s seems a little wrong. You start out in the cold, it gets warm, then hot, then cool. Finally right at the end, when it “counts” the most... it can turn cold again...Guys out there with those dumb hoods on playing baseball... The hoods are great mind you, but not for baseball. Especially with so many of these guys growing up in places where it never gets cold... |

Well, I have to find something else to do tomorrow night. I may or may not watch part of the World Series when it starts. I may or may not watch a football game tomorrow...Blues, despair and agony on me...Off to my den to lick my wounds. Perhaps I’ll simply pull the covers over my head and stay abed tomorrow... Will Gerritt Cole head our staff next season?... Perhaps like the Ground Hog, I’ll emerge from my den. Not in February. For the winter meetings... Play me strato matic on line  Cole wants to be on the left coast. Doubt he will be here. |

Hicks looked ok to me and Didi is Didi he jumps too early in the count sometimes. Everyone else I agree not sure they were 100%, but the whole Stanton, EE situation was a joke. If you can pinch hit why are you not giving Stanton or Maybin an AB. Especially Maybin who can steal bases when so many times in this series they were down 2 or less runs. Yet there's EE out there getting 4 or 5 ab a game. |

Getting four real starters would be a great way to do this. If we are to win a WS cashman finally has to quit going cheap and pay for an elite starter. Home runs were scarce for us when it mattered. Not sure I ever saw a team lose a play off game it dominated that way. |
