Season ticket holder presale was ridiculous. I couldn't get even a pair of seats anywhere lower than the 400-level.
So safe to say the 12pm presale will be SRO only?

Yes. Corners in 400s were only seats available for $270 each.

Well that sucks. I'm on the presale at 10. Was hoping for closer to middle 400.

It's possible that they are reserving some for later sessions. It's also possible that you could find individual seats in better parts of the park.

pretty sure they also hold some back, trying to convince people to sign up for 2020 season tickets to guarantee world series tix

Well suited to deal with Yankee hecklers.

Well that .189 BA in 30 games there says otherwise.

But yes better suited than Tucker who looks like a deer in the headlights at home in MMP.

Guess it's all relative at this point.
would you believe me if I told you Reddick has our highest BA against Severino?

.455
5-11
3 doubles

maybe theres something there.
I posted this before last game and it worked out.


today I am posting some stats from one of our guys vs Tanaka...


.417
5-12
3 doubles




Robinson Chirinos. Take this information for whatever you would like.

They cut the amount of tickets allowed in half but sold out faster. That's crazy.
and I bet there will be a lot available for 500+ on stubhub in about 2 hours because people just want a quick turnaround

Wind is going to be blowing hard out of the West. I am guessing we will see lots of runs tonight.


That means blowing out toward right field right?

Start all the lefties

Reddick, Tucker, and Brantly OF
Alvarez at DH
More Carlos us since he's a good Oppo hitter.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'd consider letting Reddick hit leadoff too since his bat is so hot.

Also, all of Altuve's HRs have been pull shots this postseason. Do we consider letting Diaz start at 2B today and go the other way?

What sucks is looking at Stub hub inventory for WS and seeing so many 15+ tickets available together.

Those geniuses at ESiPN think the Yankees take this one...

With the blustery conditions and Tanaka on the mound, the Yankees should have an advantage against Greinke, whom they have consistently hit throughout his career (5.05 ERA). If the wind is blowing out, it'll be a high-scoring game. Yankees 9, Astros 5 -- Rivera

Tanaka has been a brilliant big-game pitcher -- and Tanaka at Yankee Stadium takes excellence and amplifies it. Yankees 4, Astros 1 -- Jeff Passan

It wouldn't surprise me if MLB bought half of the tickets prior to presale and gave half to their partner Stubhub

found 2 tickets in 432 row 4 for home game 1 on stub hub for $410 each plus fees.

I was fortunate enough to be given a ticket to Game 3 and Game 4 in 2017 (great seats both games), so I figure I am freerolling at this point. My wife has made it abundantly clear that she will be going to a WS game when the Astros return, with or without me.

Average ticket price in 400's is $550 - $800 right now, I believe they will drop significantly, but I don't see them dropping enough that I regret the $410 price.

I would think so, right and right center, but wind always swirls around in ball parks


Our lefties finna feast.

Are season ticket holders able to buy more than 2 to each game?

that is not the reason there are groups of 15+.

That is MLB selling ticket blocks to stub hub, individuals can not get blocks of seats like that.

Greinke has been in MLB for 16 years. His career ERA versus the Yankees is meaningless in this matchup. And very convenient of him to ignore Tanaka's career 6.62 ERA versus the Astros. If you're going to use regular season career stats, use them for both guys.

probably have to get there 3 hours early to claim a spot and then don't drink anything for the next 6-7 hours so you don't lose your spot when you have to go to the restroom.

also my buddy got SRO ticket for a game in '17. He never really got a good view of the field.

what else would you like to discuss? We can go over the pitching debate for the 100th time in the last 48 hours .... or speculate on wind patterns some more?
