Crazy how Gurriel is 1/20 in the ALCS with no strikeouts. I've been saying he's do but he just can't get anything to fall.
We have had an extraordinary run of bad luck on batted balls. Tons of balls drilled right at defenders against both the Rays and Yankees.

Got $20 on the Astros making it back to Houston first.



According to your links, the yankees' flight has the more direct route to houston
Rat bastage New Yorkers delayed the Astros departure by 43 minutes while the Yankees plane got off on time.


The Yankees are projected to land 2 minutes earlier.... WTF?

But I'd be lying if I said I had enough confidence in our offense to win. We are flat awful at the plate. Even a perfect Cole might not be enough.


That's an extremely miserable take.
not even in his top 10 for the week.

Tomorrow isn't about beating the Yankees, it's about winning so that Cole can start game 1 and increase our odds of winning the real prize. Don't care about the silver medal when you know you should get gold.

This is the mentality that gets a team to lose a 3-1 series lead.

Even if it takes 7 games we wouldn't be in terrible shape:

Win Game 6: Cole Tuesday JV Wednesday
Win Game 7: ZG Tuesday JV Wednesday

Well, he's not wrong. You dont pitch Cole on short rest when you dont risk elimination in game 6.

I agree. Alvarez doesn't know the difference between "come here" and "sic' em" right now.

I think he is wrong.

If your mentality is "we need to win this so we have Cole in game 1" what happens when you win game 7 and don't have Cole in game 1?

The mentality is to win the game tonight to get to the world series.

You don't pitch Cole on short rest in game 6 because you aren't risking elimination, but you also don't do it to save him for Game 1 of the WS. My point was that if you're making decisions based on the world series, you've just overlooked an opponent that won 103 games this year and scored more runs than anyone else in baseball (even more than the Astros).

Astros are always UAL2500. Found the Yankees by searching the routes.

We've been saying that for past three games. Hopefully you're right this time. Bad luck gotta end for yuli at some time. Can't expect to win games at this rate

I'm gonna try this again.
Minute Maid will be rocking.
Yankee bullpen is worn out.
Bregs and Yuli get some 2017 magic.

Not by panicking and using your starter on short rest.

Until his final AB last night, I was fully willing to stick it out with Yordan because his bat is so dangerous.

That last AB was so putrid though. He had absolutely no thought other than "I don't care where or what these pitches are, but I'm selling out on every one of them, because I'm completely lost".

You HAVE to sit him, at least for tonight. Let Diaz DH.

But I am completely ok with eating crow if hinch keeps him in the lineup and he has a big hit tonight.

I was really disappointed by the loss last night. But certainly nobody expected us to sweep them in NYC.

Bottom line now is I'd much rather be in Stros position versus Yanks. And if you grew up a Stros fan it's best to not get too worked up and nervous and just enjoy the moments because they don't last forever.

Avoided this place at all costs last night. Hope everyone survived.

Just an odd kinda game. Seemed like both teams blew their was in the first then just we're on cruise control.

Let's dust off and get em tonight.

Alvarez is 1-for-19 with a single, 2 walks, and 10 strikeouts. His average is .053 for the ALCS.

Put Tucker in at DH so he doesn't have to worry about playing the field. He might get a ball and go yard and he's got much more speed to where if he gets on, he can move around the basepaths against Gary "No Throw, but Also Not Really Hit" Sanchez.
