NFT: Game 6 - ALCS - Yankees vs Astros - 8p FS1

B in ALB : 10/20/2017 5:33 pm
Well here we are folks. If I told you at the beginning of the season we as fans would be in a position to watch our team one game away from playing in the World Series - would you believe me? I still don't really believe it NOW! It has been an absolute pleasure to watch this team and they have far exceeded even my wildest expectation.

Tonight we have Redemption Part II as the Yankees face a pitcher who has had excellent postseason success against them dating back to his early days with Detroit. Much like Keuchel the other night - he pitched absolutely lights out in Game 2 - and here is a chance to erase that memory and stamp their tickets to the World Series. If anyone can do it, it's our boys.

The. World. Fuckin. Series!

Unfortunately, my son has a football playoff game tonight and I will not be in my customary spot on the couch watching intently, sipping my voddy and beer, chatting with you fine people on BBI. HOWEVER, I will be bringing a bit of the good stuff with me and I will be streaming the game from the stands. Wouldn't miss this one! No way, no how. All hands on deck!

Can't wait.



LGY.

Verlander goes 9, while the Yanks blow out their bullpen.

Then in game 7 the Yanks' bullpen is spent, while the Astros' bullpen is rested.


that could be a problem

I honestly dont see this happening. I think that played in his mind for leaving Sevi in. I think Joe is playing for tomorrow... and thats ok.
We've been down many times  
dune69 : 10/20/2017 9:54 pm : link
with a good ending. Keep fighting.
Headley leadoff single

His slider had no bite tonight. Nothing down and in.



Sevy game the Yankees everything he had. Girardi has been going one batter too far with every pitcher this post season, got lucky a couple of times, not tonight.


Yeah, we all remember the post where you recommended they take Sevy out just before he faced Altuve.
Check out Headley  
illmatic : 10/20/2017 9:55 pm : link
Going from zero to hero.
Has Houston named tomorrows starter yet?  
yankeeslover : 10/20/2017 9:56 pm : link
wondering.
Ugh that was the one.

Verlander just threw a meatball to Judge  
dpinzow : 10/20/2017 9:57 pm : link
Judge just missed it
Damn, Judge just missed that FB  
mfsd : 10/20/2017 9:57 pm : link
Like Smotlz or not, but he was on point about Severino - he was leaving too many pitches up and it finally burned him

Why do you always post stuff like this? It's silly. Yes thank you for the great season you've given us, Sevy, and battling hard tonight



Yeah, clearly I'm not talking about the regular season, though. I'm talking about tonight. Why do you never understand that?


He threw well tonight, he just got out dueled. Guess I just don't understand the need for the sarcasm

Because in the moment it's frustrating to go from 0-0, to 1-0, to 3-0 in this game.
Come on Sanchez  
yankeeslover : 10/20/2017 10:01 pm : link
pop one here...hell, even a base hit...lets chase Verlander.
Okay

I assure you it doesn't change my overall opinion on the guy  
Dave in Hoboken : 10/20/2017 10:02 pm : link
or his performance this season.
Come on El Gary

How deflating
Swinging on 3-0? Come on...  
dpinzow : 10/20/2017 10:04 pm : link
Bird is up next. You can't do that
Holy shit  
illmatic : 10/20/2017 10:04 pm : link
What was that, Gary? 3-0 check swing?
What the fuck was that Sanchez?  
BigBlue4You09 : 10/20/2017 10:04 pm : link
Epic fail from him and Judge
Oh come the fuck on man.  
bceagle05 : 10/20/2017 10:04 pm : link
3-0 check swing.

christian : 10/20/2017 10:05 pm : link
We will get on that bullpen.
3 great takes  
Matt M. : 10/20/2017 10:05 pm : link
for that fucking check swing...really?
Dammit Gary  
mfsd : 10/20/2017 10:05 pm : link
Not going to kill these guys for mistakes right now, but on 3-0 you take your best rip or not at all
Its alright fellas  
yankeeslover : 10/20/2017 10:05 pm : link
we still have 9 outs to go....
He got fooled

Yeah I think he realized too late it was a slider, he was geared up to crush a fastball
What bullpen?  
bceagle05 : 10/20/2017 10:06 pm : link
Verlander's going nine unless we start hitting him.

Exiting in the 5th down 3-0 with 2 runners on, that isn't throwing well or outdueled. That is coming undone.
Someone please tell me what the fuck  
Bchurch : 10/20/2017 10:07 pm : link
He was check swinging on 3-0 for? Fuck this Houston team.. don'tput them on base.. we walk3.. so fucking pissed.

And that is why my philosophy is never swing 3-0. More often than not a 3-0 swing ends badly.
This is where Girardi exposes himself  
GentleGiant : 10/20/2017 10:08 pm : link
Verlander had no intention of giving Gary a single pitch to hit, he struck out Bird handily last ab, but that didn't stop Girardi from giving him the green light.
There's no reason to swing 3-0 there  
dpinzow : 10/20/2017 10:09 pm : link
A strike means it's 3-1 and he'll get a pitch to hit

A ball means the bases are loaded
Blame girardi  
djm : 10/20/2017 10:10 pm : link
lol right .
I have not been impressed at all with Bregman.

Put the ball in play on sharp singles a few times this game. Chase Verlander right now and get to it.

Jesus you are insufferable. You make Randal look good in comparison.
Not to worry guys... we've got Castro coming up  
BigBlue2112 : 10/20/2017 10:18 pm : link
he will have a patient productive at bat
Unless Verlander is pushing 140 pitches  
Dave in PA : 10/20/2017 10:20 pm : link
I doubt hunch trusts Giles enough to let him potentially blow up their season, which he's very capable of doing.
Leadoff walk by Bird  
dpinzow : 10/20/2017 10:20 pm : link
Great AB
Come on, Starlin  
illmatic : 10/20/2017 10:21 pm : link
Don't do the usual Starlin things.
Well nice job by Green  
Matt M. : 10/20/2017 10:21 pm : link
and they hit Verlander hard for the 2 hits last inning. Now a good AB for Bird to start the 7th. We need to break through here and let the pen hold them while we get to their pen.
Castro got HBP  
dpinzow : 10/20/2017 10:21 pm : link
Should be 1st and 2nd, nobody out
HBP. I'll take it  
illmatic : 10/20/2017 10:22 pm : link
First and second, no outs. Make it happen.
