I think the Yankees have by far the best shot. at their best, their starting pitching can great. Their bullpen is best equip to match the indians. And they can score runs with anyone.
In a 5 games series, I actually really like the Yankees chances vs the Indians.

I just want the Astros to get 11 more wins.
Not only is the Thursday game only on MLB TV, now Bob Costas is calling the game????
Please tell me this isn't true.

I guess that settles which day I'm taking the afternoon off and going to the park.
So glad I'll be there at MMP.

Yankees in the Wild Card game...brings back actual positive memories of....Carlos Gomez and Colby Rasmus. Seems like ages ago.
I've got A LOT of positive memories of Colby.
He was great to have on that team even though his production kinda sucked. I'll always be a Rasmus fan after watching and getting to know him a bit. He's good people.
But once again...Gomez was worthless and had no redeeming qualities. Seriously. None. Zero.

oh yeah...lots of positive memories of Colby. That playoff run of his was almost Beltran-esque.
Also, Sipp pitched in that game..lol

Not only is this going to suck from a play-by-play perspective... We're now all going to get a heavy dose of politicized preaching on gun control and how out of touch we are.titanmaster_race said:

Wouldnt be surprised if he works something in about the Redskins
I don't even care that Costas will be calling the game since I'll be watching at work with no sound on my phone. Well, that's assuming I'll even be able stream it with all the horse **** going on concerning the broadcast

And don't forget Gregerson!
I thought it was kinda funny that the Redskins played the Chiefs last night on national tv. Where were the protesters?

Gomez killed team chemistry. Unlike the guys we've brought on this year who have added to it.

There is. He has to pitch to the Astros.
Add to that Altuve's line vs Sale over their careers:
I think the other big issue is who the hell do they have after Sale?
Pomeranz?
Porcello?
Rodriguez?
Please...

OH SH*T WE'RE IN TROUBLE NOW
also, after watching Morton humiliate the Sox the other night until his inevitable mid inning let down...I am fully expecting Verlander to pitch an absolute gem. He is essentially just a better version of Morton.
8 innings, 3 hits. Its coming.

The Case For the Houston Astros To Win the World Series
Quote:
What stands out more is their offense, which led the league in runs per game (5.54), batting average (.282), on-base percentage (.346) and slugging percentage (.479).The team's slugging percentage is MLB's highest since 2003, and their 128 OPS+OPS adjusted for ballpark and league scoring environmentsis a post-1900 record, bettering the 1927 Yankees' 127. Only two postwar teams, the 1976 Reds and 1982 Brewers even reached 120, which is to say 20% more productive than average.

Fister? But I hardly even know her
I'm seeing a lot of love coming for the Indians, Yankees, and Red Sox on MLB Network. No surprise here...
Let them keep talking about these teams and hyping them up. I'm all for our guys being treated as underdogs.

One other advantage to pitching Verlander Game 1 is that if we're down 1-2 I think he's better suited to pitch on short rest in Game 4 than Dallas would be. I don't have numbers to back that up but I'm thinking in terms of health and stamina.
Conversely, if we're up 2-1 should we throw Verlander on short rest or dip into Morton or McHugh?

IM SO HYPE
no surprise at all. Afterall, Astros Verlander is the best pitcher in baseball.
