Astros really pressing. With a RISP, Bregman swings 3-0 at a pitch outside and flies out.
I don't think Judge retouched second base
He was really determined that inning to get thrown out. After having replay overturn his being doubled off first, he then gets thrown out stealing second. That's hilarious.
Oops. Nevermind. Judge not retouching second and being thrown out on appeal is recorded as a caught stealing. Still, that's hilarious.
Bases loaded, no outs, and questionable strike zone against Correa. He's having to be overly defensive
RUNS!
On the board!
Sounds like most all of the folks watching the game in the hotel bar are also rooting for Not The Yankees
Yes! I love that Girardi pulls his pitcher throwing a shutout after 5 innings and the reliever immediately gives up 3 runs.
I misread the box. I thought Robertson started the inning. Bummer. That would have been huge criticism for Girardi. The first 2 runners reached when Gray was pitching, so I guess most will believer Girardi was right in bringing in Robertson.
On one swing, the Astros score more runs than in any of the first 3 games of the series.
If it wasn't for Frazier's popup off his bat handle falling in for a single, McCullers would be no-hitting the Yankees at Yankee Stadium in the postseason through 6 innings.
All 3 hits for the Astros today are doubles.
TWINS BASEBALL!!
Waldman blaming that error on the grass.
I am blaming Castro.
Pitcher's Best Friend.
Har. Rastro!
Here comes the Judge!
That was a monster blast
Well, now we know how much room for error he had. Judge is pretty much guaranteed another at-bat in this game, hopefully in the 9th.
Not a good start for the bullpen.
Time for some knuckle/fork ball, mebbe eephus?
WFAN ad: Hackensack Meridien Health. Just leave your deductible in a brown paper sack by your bed.
Liriano is warming. I forgot he got traded to the Astros.
Stopped in to ask what in the hell was altuve doing there?
Ugh, this at bat is going to annoy me, isn't it?
Im beginning to dislike Aaron Judge
Same. Todd Frazier too, which is probably Joe buck's fault.
Did you know he played in the Little League World Series and met Derek Jeter!?
🤢
I am unable to retain smarmy information unless I've heard it at least 150 times.
Can they just go ahead and carve his bust now?
gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
C-rap.
You know, I had thought I was past getting overly upset at seeing the Yankees have success, but they really do make baseball worse.
Edit: also Joe buck
I was thinking there was going to be criticism of the Astros for not bringing in Giles to start the 8th, but with him getting lit up, so much for that.
I think we're seeing why Verlander pitched in relief in Game 4 of the ALDS.
Remember, McCullers only gave up 1 run on 2 hits in 6 innings and 81 pitches.
This looks like a pretty epic collapse by the Astros.
Baseball is dumb
Verlander with a 140-pitch CG win tomorrow.
Only if there's a doubleheader.
This is the interesting thing about the LCS round. When the Dodgers won Game 2, both series had a team ahead 2-0. They have yet to play Game 3 and the other series is tied. Certainly gives the Cubs and their fans hope.
Horrible sports day. Yankee comeback topped by a horrible injury to Gordon Hayward in the NBA season opener (6 minutes in).
Just reading about it made me cringe. I hope his recovery goes as well as Paul George's.
That sucks. I had forgotten that the NBA started today and hadn't checked the schedule for games. With the Wolves expected to be good and my favorite team, the Sixers, expected to be at least young and exciting, if not good in the East, I went ahead and got the NBA streaming service. I would have been mad at myself if I had missed their openers, but both start tomorrow.
Wow. The pitch to Schwarber from Darvish was right in a cold zone in the lower third of the strike zone, according to Gameday.
The zones have little predictive value. I'm assuming the cold zone is also based on either just the LCS or at best postseason overall.
tied up!
Rizzo has a lot of nails running in front of the batters box with the batter still there
triples are sexy!
runningon the contact play and being out by 10 feet, not sexy
Rizzo practically able to catch the pitch if Darvish didn't bunt it.
Cuzzi thinks it was foul.
too soon.
Darvish is standing right on top of the plate
LOL PITCHER WALK RBI!
Man, Darvish was gaming that one. Roberts ends up looking like a genius
