MLB Daily Thread: 10-16-17: Home teams hold serve in LCS; Refs rob Jets

[bksballer89]

Let's see if the Cubs and Yanks can return the favor over the next 3 games

That disgusting call against the Jets. WTF was that? Just wow

At least the Jets covered as I said they would

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Series over, Great Season for the Yanks, I look forward to a lot of wars with the Astros

Most frustrating thing is shutting down that lineup twice and still losing

Watching these AB's for the Yankees is excruciating, seems like these guys never throw them strikes

God you're such a quitter lol

at first I was like wtf that's a TD and the Jets got screwed... I think they rule is very stupid and should be changed.. With that said, (according to rule book) I finally saw the ball moving in his hand and simply going by the rulebook (again, it's a very stupid rule) it was the correct call..

Love to see in NY what angle they had to overturn the call of a TD on the field however

Long time, no see gentlemen.

Should have picked up McCown against the horrid Pats defense. Damn.

I almost did as well. Though his two horrible INT's helped Pats greatly

Like every Pats/Jets game, I watched with my Jets-fan brother-in-law. Yikes on that call. I couldn't believe it.

 

[redseat]

(I believe the Chiefs game) the player was ruled DOWN by contact and the ball came out but they blew the whistle, yet it was challenged and overturned as it was a turn-over. Thought once person was ruled down by contact it couldn't be challenged.

Crazy shit is if the refs didn't rule that a TD then that play likely never gets challenge. No way in hell would the Pats think about challenging that play had he been ruled down at the 1

God you're such a quitter lol

They could win all 3 at home and still lose the series

And they aint winning all 3 at home

They had their chance, should have left Houston with a win

We'll see. I've seen stranger things happen. All Houston did was hold serve. No way am I waving the white flag after a team did what they're supposed to do at home in a best of 7. I will wave the flag if they lose today or tomorrow

Verlander threw them absolute SHIT and they swung and all of it.

However, large munnies on the Yanks and CC tonight. Either way, I'm a winner

Never under-estimate Belichick. he knows the rule book better than anyone on the planet.

Example #377 of why a guy who struck out 200 times should not be the league MVP.

It's on Morton and Peacock now. Peacock was really good in the second half but playoff nerves got the best of him in his start against bawstun. Morton just needs his benders to bend. When they don't, he gets slaughtered. When they do, he's as good as any starting pitcher in the playoffs.

You think Altuve should get it? I haven't been able to watch him as much during the regular season (despite being the Astro's #1 fan), but he's having a Jeter-esque playoffs

 

[soxfan1468927]

Teams are 2-41 in the last 43 series being down 0-2 in a best of 7. The only two that have won are the 1996 Yankees in the World Series and 2004 Red Sox in the ALCS.

Funny enough, the 4 times previous to that, the team came back every time. 1986 Mets in the World Series, 1985 Royals in the World Series, 1985 Royals in the ALCS, and 1985 Cardinals in the NLCS.
