Series Thread: ALCS: New York Yankees vs Houston Astros

[10HtownRebs]

Ozuna tosses a very economical 8 pitch inning for the save.
Houston wins it 4-1 and takes a 2-1 series lead.

Now lets go see if the Cards can hopefully avoid a sweep in the NLCS.

Let's Go Saint Lew.

2 of those 8 balls were squared the F up. Osuna does not have many easy innings. Seems like he will walk at least one and get 3 balls on a couple batters...

Only 1 week away, dude.

Yankees have to win game 4 and 5 just to come back to Houston and have Verlander in game 6 and Cole in game 7.

Good luck with that.

LOL... 4 and 5... You understand what I was saying

 

[jvett77]

Solid pitching by Cole and relievers.

 

[Yo Tee]

We need to win at least the next two. We can't lose two at home. Come on Yanks!!

I'm for once glad this was the early game.

I'm too tired to try to watch the late game.

And as I turn it on, the late game is already over. Nats are going to have plenty of rest.

"Several Astros pitchers told me they were showered with beer and almost hit by beer cans thrown from the stands into the visitor's bullpen. An Astros staff member said he saw a woman get hit by a beer can in the back of the head and apparently she had to be taken to get medical attention."


I'm calling bullshit on this one. Who is throwing a full can of beer? That's gotta be like 12 bucks

Man, Cole could've been had and they let him off the hook.


No more Ottavino please.


Must win the next 2, whenever they're played. Even with the next 2, they'll still have to beat Verlander in Houston.


Tough hill to climb, but this team is nothing if not resilient.

?

If they win games 4 and 5 they only need one more in Houston.

They already nearly beat Verlander in game 2.

It is called a best of 7 and not best of 3 for reason.

Series is far from over

Yep bats have to wake up eventually right?

Verlander and Cole back to back will do that to you.

No more of that for a little while at least. Gotta make hay while the sun shines (Pun intended)

 

[bksballer89]

Did they PPD the game yet?

I think Ottavino meant he could strike out a "really drunk" Babe Ruth every time......So many chances yesterday to swing the series in their favor.....just need to get back to 2-2 and go from there.....
