You gotta read this article from the Chronicle on the kid that caught Correa's HR!

In case anyone is interested, for the series:

Average Exit Velocity

  • NYY: 85.0 MPH
  • HOU: 84.9 MPH

BABIP

  • NYY: .246 (14/57)
  • HOU: .194 (14/72)


I'm confident that the hits will start falling for us, including HRs. We've hit five balls over 375' this series, including three over 395' and none left the park. It's only a matter of time before some of those start finding the seats.

I really think this ends in 5 maybe 6.

We hit Gray well tonight and Dallas ends it.

As has been stated all we need is to win one of the games in NY.

You're assuming the bats don't destroy any Yankee starting pitcher and force them to put in a starter they were saving for later on short rest.

Remember that 5-spot we put up on Gray in the first in Oakland? Let's do that again.

Took a quick look at the Astros lifetime stats vs Sonny Gray. Wow. NY can't be confident tonight. Bregman, Yuli, and Reddick have a small sample size, but Altuve Beltran and MccannMcCann. Would be great if McCann can contribute offensively.

Altuve 11-30
Beltran 4-11
Bregman 1-1
Centeno 1-3
Correa 1-14
Gattis 3-15
Gurriel 1-3
McCann 4-12
Reddick 1-2
Springer 4-16

MLB Avg was around .300 and we hit around .310ish (BABIP). Staying sub .200 seems very unlikely.

Also, you're right about those looooong outs. That **** will turn into Crush City soon.

Gray has a career 3.90 ERA against the Astros. This year he pitched 5 innings giving up 5 ERs for a nice round 9.00 ERA.

With a righty I'd guess Beltran for Gattis, but otherwise yeah.

I think Beltran gets the start against Gray. That short porch in right makes Beltran a tempting choice as well.

That and with Marwin struggling I'd switch him with Bregs.

Although I know that doesn't spread out the RH and LH bats but I'd like to give Yuli some protection.

I think Beltre adds a little more protection for Yuli than does Reddick. Or maybe shake things up a little...

Man I'm really sad about getting rejected. If there is anyone that got selected for tickets that is only planning on going to a game or two, I would love the chance to purchase the tickets for the game(s) you don't want to go too.
