Series Thread: ALCS: New York Yankees vs Houston Astros

[nynasty]

Game was just called

Figured it would be. Glad they did it early.

This definitely changes things- can have Tanaka tomorrow now on 4 days rest-will be interesting to see how they go.

Laid out the plan yesterday.

Tanaka in game 4, Paxton in game 5, bullpen game in game 6 (don't trust Sevy), & all hell in game 7 if we get that far.

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

If we win one of the next two in NY... You fucked..

LOL... Nearly beat Verlander

I guess he did only throw 65 pitches or whatever it was on Saturday, but I'd be inclined to give Tanaka an extra day.

Wait until Charlton sees the Statue of Liberty......that'll wipe the smile off his face......

Don't know if you can risk it.

Can't lose game 4. And also if he goes in game 4 then you have him for a few innings in a possible game 7. Start him in game 5 then no way he is going in game 7

Flipside is (if the series goes the distance) they've got 4 games in 4 days starting tomorrow. For a team that's so reliant on its bullpen, that could present a problem. So I think regardless of when he starts, they're going to need length from Tanaka. I just think he would be better equipped to provide that length with an extra day of rest.

But again, he threw less than 70 pitches on Saturday, so it's entirely possible that I'm overthinking this. LOL

If Paxton pitch better as I would hope with game 5 at home then the goal is maybe the pen is needed too much in the next 2 games....and if we can win one of these games by a large amount then they can use one of the long guys like CC or Happ

When is his albatross of a contract up?

Bottem of 9th. One of the next three guys will hit it out.

No, but it did happen in extra innings, and all of a sudden too.

Why no Ballantine beer commercials? Make the three ring sign and ask the man for Ballantine. Good nite.

Up until a few years ago, there were still Barbasol shaving cream commercials in the playoffs.

That would have fit right in with the 1950s fans.

"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

People throw beer at concerts, and non craft beer is $16-$18 at those venues. At game stadiums, agree with your price estimate, that it's closer to $10-$12.

a few years ago? there are a couple of barbasol commercials that are running right now.

I personally think this is as close to a must win for the yankees as it comes to

Thanks for making me feel old. I can't remember going to a concert where "craft beer" was an option.
