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.

Take a few pitches

illmatic : 10/20/2017 10:25 pm : link

make him throw strikes.

That 3-1 pitch was bullshit

dpinzow : 10/20/2017 10:25 pm : link

6 inches outside. Eff that

That's BS.

Matt M. : 10/20/2017 10:26 pm : link

That was Ball 4 a few inches off the plate.

Great fucking time for the ump

mfsd : 10/20/2017 10:26 pm : link

to give him an extra 6 inches. WTF

So generous of that ump to bail Verlander out

Greg from LI : 10/20/2017 10:26 pm : link

I think the ump is hoping for

illmatic : 10/20/2017 10:27 pm : link

a little gratitude from Kate after the game.

Hicks should already be on

dpinzow : 10/20/2017 10:28 pm : link

this is some bullshit

This is starting to piss me off. They keep blowing Verlander, but through 2 starts he gets call after call off the plate on both sides of the plate. When you get those calls and put guys in the hole, that's how you get them to swing at the shit in the dirt.

Hell of an at bat for Hicks here

Greg from LI : 10/20/2017 10:28 pm : link

This moron ump

dpinzow : 10/20/2017 10:29 pm : link

changed the whole game

Now let's blow Verlander again

Matt M. : 10/20/2017 10:29 pm : link

while ignoring that Hicks walked 4 pitches ago.

Hicks should've walked

illmatic : 10/20/2017 10:29 pm : link

changed the whole complexion of the entire game.

7 straight fastballs

Dave in PA : 10/20/2017 10:29 pm : link

Gets him on the curve

Fuck. You. Ump.

Greg from LI : 10/20/2017 10:29 pm : link

Should be bases loaded no outs you piece of shit

Ugh we're right on him.

bceagle05 : 10/20/2017 10:30 pm : link

Big hit here please.

Frazier needs to park one here.

Matt M. : 10/20/2017 10:30 pm : link

Tie this one up and let Gardner battle him to get that pitch count up.

Goddammit

Greg from LI : 10/20/2017 10:31 pm : link

Fuuuuuuuck

Dave in PA : 10/20/2017 10:31 pm : link

Looked good off the bat

Now Springer makes a crazy catch at the wall

dpinzow : 10/20/2017 10:31 pm : link

it's not our night

wow

yankeeslover : 10/20/2017 10:32 pm : link

hell of catch though

Damn, Frazier came so close

mfsd : 10/20/2017 10:32 pm : link

credit where due, great catch

Fuck.

Matt M. : 10/20/2017 10:32 pm : link

If he got the F-ing walk, that's at least a run. There is a huge difference between bases loaded no outs and 1st and 2nd 1 out with #9 up.

But, damn, how did that stay in the park?

Sorry...#8 up

Matt M. : 10/20/2017 10:32 pm : link

I forgot about Headley.

It's 3-1, 1st and 3rd, 1 out

dpinzow : 10/20/2017 10:33 pm : link

with a properly called 3-1 pitch to Hicks

horsehoes

RasputinPrime : 10/20/2017 10:33 pm : link

up their ass tonight. Jesus.

Man I thought that was gone off the bat

Greg from LI : 10/20/2017 10:33 pm : link

Just needed to pull it a bit and it would have been

Ump hasn�t been consistent on both sides. McCann should have walked on 4 balls from Severino as well

Well, if nothing else,

Matt M. : 10/20/2017 10:33 pm : link

this inning probably guarantees Verlander isn't going the distance.

These Yankees are relentless

Dave in PA : 10/20/2017 10:34 pm : link

I don't know if Verlander is going to have enough juice to go 9 tonight

And that 2-0 pitch to Headley is arguably high

dpinzow : 10/20/2017 10:34 pm : link

This ump is winning the game for Houston

Sorry

BigBlue4You09 : 10/20/2017 10:34 pm : link

He HAS been bad on both sides

The home plate ump just about won Game 6

dpinzow : 10/20/2017 10:35 pm : link

for the Astros

disgrace

MookGiants : 10/20/2017 10:35 pm : link

from the fucking umpire in that inning, completely ruined the inning

Annoying goddamned game

Greg from LI : 10/20/2017 10:35 pm : link

Bases should've been loaded with no outs.

shockeyisthebest8056 : 10/20/2017 10:36 pm : link

Hicks fucking walked... that 3-1 pitch was a fucking ball.

...

christian : 10/20/2017 10:36 pm : link

Will get the shot at the pen.

It was such a bad call that ump should be suspended. Easily 6 inches outside, possibly more

The Yankees are losing but

GentleGiant : 10/20/2017 10:36 pm : link

they are putting fear into Houston. This is good, moral victories are good if you lose game 6.

That 3-1 pitch to Hicks

B in ALB : 10/20/2017 10:37 pm : link

will live in infamy if the Astros win this series.

That was almost a foot outside the plate.

Holy. Shit.

I can't believe what i just saw.

Strike 2 to Hicks

Marty866b : 10/20/2017 10:37 pm : link

Killed that inning. It wasn't even that close. That really sucked.

No moral victories at this point

The way we're grinding gives me hope

bceagle05 : 10/20/2017 10:37 pm : link

for tomorrow if this does go 7. Whoever's pitching tomorrow ain't as good as this guy, and we won't be afraid.

Fuck we had him on the ropes the past 2 innings

Stu11 : 10/20/2017 10:38 pm : link

Gary bailed his lanky ass out ridiculously check swinging at a 3-0 pitch. Hicks got umped 3-1 and Toddfather was right on him and just missed fuck fuck fuck

I'm the anti-blame the ump fam, and that was clear AF not a strike.

Two runs

Marty866b : 10/20/2017 10:38 pm : link

In almost 3 games in this park.

Yup

Looks like their pen is ready

dpinzow : 10/20/2017 10:41 pm : link

wonder what happens in the top of the 8th

Haven't looked this up

Marty866b : 10/20/2017 10:41 pm : link

But i think we've scored almost as many runs as the Astros have hits.
