Wow, Altuve... Just a terrible AB. Thankfully this night is behind us now.


Hard to call that a terrible AB when the two strike calls were way out of the zone.
This. It was a terrible result, not necessarily a terrible AB considering Blue put Altuve into a hole.

**** this ump for squeezing us in the big innings then expanding late. Robot umps can't get figured out soon enough. Still... some of the luckiest bloops ever and a couple of lucky as homers in a gimmick ass ballpark.


Seriously, MMP always gets called a gimmick park. That park is way worse.


Screw it, let's bury their ass tomorrow.
Yep. ****ty little ballpark. And both homers were first row BS shots that don't get out of Minute Maid.

Our guys will bounce back just like they did after Game 3 in Boston though, I'm sure of it. Hopefully Girardi overthinks a few more bullpen situations tomorrow.

One of them was outside, but the other was clearly a strike. He had a few bad ABs all night. Hopefully he got them out of his system. Hopefully they all did.
Considering some of the balls and strikes that went the Yankees way, nothing was clearly a strike in Altuve's final AB.

New umpire behind the plate and new game tomorrow. Hopefully this lights a fire under their ass and the bats show up tomm and Peacock spreads his wings and puts on a show for these ****s. While I'd love to go to another game in H-Town I want it to be a WS game not the ALCS. End this **** on Wednesday

This is a **** strike zone for an LCS game, from the crew chief no less.

Fans of some teams hate to talk about luck in baseball, but tonight it was on full display. I don't think I've ever seen a pitcher have a worse line score for such a well pitched game. Very bad breaks and Harris pulled a Hoyt.

I'm a little worried about our bats after 3 straight low-scoring games.

Judging the contact tonight, I'm not. Several warning tracky flyouts. Lots of line drives right at folks.

Lance for 3-4, Peacock for 3-4, Musgrove, Devo, and Giles to close it out.

We own Gray on top of that. I like our chances tomorrow.

This is his chance to step up and prove himself.

I don't wanna make it anymore of a big deal than it is already being a postseason game on the road but I think there's a lot riding on this start for Lance.

I'm not going to lie.....Lance scares me, but *********I love the attitude he brings. Of course I'd love Lance to go 7 or 8 but I'd be ok with 4 from Lance and 4 from Peacock

Look, luck was with the Yanks tonight. Harris' pitch was the big mistake, but everything else didn't help.

Altuve went 0-5.
The two Yankee HRs would have been warning track outs in other parks.
The ump's strike zone was all over the place.
The Yanks had bloops all over the place. They never really strung anything together. McHugh pitched just as well as Morton but seemed to have better luck.

It just wasn't there for the Astros tonight. They have to get it together for tomorrow.

Don't understand how you start lance after the outings he's had since his return from injury

Did anyone ever post what Fraziers "off the bat" speed was on his home run? Had to be less than 90 MPH, right?

I think it was 100.

Anyone find how the Astros hit with RISP? Babip ended up at .167.

Papi now believes that CC is the ace of this generation. That's right folks.

CC Sabathia...The ace of this generation.

Lance better be on the shortest hook ever. If he comes out inning one and is erratic and walks a few batters....I'm immediately going to peacock. Not screwing around with letting him "find it".

Lance doesn't find anything he just implodes over and over again

I think it has to do a lot with the Yankees forced clean shaven look.

Red Sox fans must really hate him on these shows. Just ridiculous amounts of pandering to the Yankees.

Also, I think Verlander one-upped him with the 9 inning CG outing.

Luckily, the total number of runs doesn't matter. All gets wiped clean the next game.

One thing I've noticed this series is that we aren't working the pitch count like we did against the Sox. We need 20+ pitches per inning for us to do damage. Not the 10-15 range.

Hard to work a count when they're throwing strikes due to an inflated zone, and you're not getting hits

Collin McHugh was very good out of the pen last night. 4 hitless innings and he saved the bullpen. Really wish he could have started.

I expect LMJ to pitch well today. He's pitching to prove a point.
