Still should have had it.
Still no idea how thats not interference, Didi got nothing on the throw as a result
Did it short hop? I thought it hit Sanchez's glove on a fly
He threw WAY more pitches out of the zone than that. I think I might scream if these guys continue to look at strikes, then swing at balls.
It wasn't a perfect throw. If it was, he wouldn't have dropped it.
would you guys stop with that shit already they scored 500,000 fucking runs this year and about 40 in 4 games vs. the Sox. Correia was getting meatballs today. He did what our hitters need to do, take an outside pitch the other way every 20 batters or so.

there on two guys on this entire team that can hurt you.

meant to say Correia wasn't getting meatballs
The issue is that Houston isn't making the little mistakes. The Yankees are.

Neither was Judge. Only difference, the outside balls Judge was getting were off the plate. Verlander was happy to get a K or walk, Yankees were greedy going for the K.

Houston has been dominant. The Yankees are a better, more talented team but the Astros are better versed in the fundamentals. That's the easy part and the Yankees coaching staff is lacking. Only two players went oppo all day for the Yankees.
The issue is that Houston isn't making the little mistakes. The Yankees are.
Yup, this. But Houston's starters are not going to be doing the same thing in the Bronx. Hinch has zero faith in the pen for good reason. If CC can pitch his game, the Yankees will unload on Charlie Morton and get that Astros pen lit up.
The Yankees could win the next 4, IF Houston's bats don't wake up.

acting like Houston dominated both games. Simply not true. Up to that point in the 9th the Astros only had three hits and the Yankees were matching them on the mound.

I want to agree but I have zero faith in the Yankees offense unloading on anybody right now.

Yea Im sure Houston is shak8ng in their boots

Game 3 and Game 4 will be by far the worst pitchers the Yankees have faced in the post season, maybe since the Twins game. If the Astros fall behind early, in the Bronx, the wheels will come off for them because their pen won't keep the Yankees in check. Houston better score quick in those games because chances are very strong they will get out of hand quick.
We’re all frustrated bc we know this Yanks team has the talent and the pitching to win these games, but there’s another level they haven’t quite gotten to yet. Series is far from over, let’s see how quickly they can adapt
Gardy struck out more than anyone today.
I hope for better in NYC.

Nailed it.

Painful to watch. These are some of the ugliest swings all season. Wtf was sanxhes swinging at in that one at bat where he was falling forward trying to make contact?
Gardy struck out more than anyone today.
I'm not talking just about today. And at least he's up there for more than four pitches if he does strike out.
Holding the Astros to two two run games is pretty freakin' good in anyone's book.
Frustrating to see them swinging at all the garbage, but maybe Didi's 8th inning hit will show them what to do..
Now if that happens they need to beat Keuchel once. But you have to get there first.

I'm pretty optimistic about our chances moving forward. It fucking sucks to be down 0-2 but this team just dealt with the same situation last week. We need to break the wood out in the bronx
Crunch time for the Yanks.
I hope for better in NYC.
Right now Sanchez appears to be near useless on both sides of the ball. He's meekly swinging at pitches a foot out of the strike zone, and can't hold on to a throw. Maybe give Romine a shot. At least, his head isn't all F'd up right now.
So far the difference in the series is the Astros are making all the bang-bang plays and the Yankees are not. No need to list them and there have really only been about 5.
The good news, as far as I am concerned, is that every single good thing has happened to the Astros and every single "bad" thing has happened to the Yanks, and they still only lost 2-1 in each game. While I did not think the Indians were the better team as I watched the series, I do think the Astros are better right now, especially at the plate (duh). Unless Sanchez and Judge start to hit and stop chasing sliders, they will not advance. Altuve and Correa are just better hitters. I do think that the indoor lighting may be bothering them just a touch.
Anyway, our #3 and #4 starters are better than theirs. Get home, get right, score some runs and get back to Houston 2-2.
Don’t you guys love these pussies who wait until after the game to talk trash, bc they don’t have the balls to do so before or during the game? Lulz.

How'd it work out for all you bozos who couldn't wait to light up Verlander, nice to see another two whiff game from Adam Dunn Jr, and what a real MVP like Altuve does when it matters most

That troll is just another example of why incest is NOT a good idea. Family reunions must be a real treat around the Possum "family".
Bill2 does exist????
If you have the ball you can block.
Aw hell no. The child predator is back?
