NFT: Game 7 - Yankees vs Astros - 8:08p tonight FS1

B in ALB : 10/21/2017 2:05 pm
Last night was a clusterfuck. Some strikezone we witnessed. Awesome. But that's over now and we're right where we want to be. I'm ready to battle again and I'm sure you guys are too.

Game 7 for all the marbles. Still in good shape and facing a pitcher starting for the first time this series. But he'll be tough for sure. Gotta get into their bullpen and CC has to be CC. And the bats need to come alive again - this time in a very hostile environment.

We play today, we win today, das it.



LGY.

A very tall order to win a Game 7 on the road...
Haven't been this nervous for a game in a long time...  
Bchurch : 10/21/2017 4:26 pm : link
We need to score early and take the energy out of that stadium. Similar to game 5 in Cleveland.
Game on boys!  
mfsd : 10/21/2017 4:27 pm : link
Great set up for the Yanks...getting on the board early would be huge...how about a 3 run jack from the Judge. Then let them start chasing sliders while we run it up on their bullpen.

Lets go Yankees. Cant ask for a better shot. Game 7, win and go to the World Series.
I should mention that

Very interesting game tonight  
St. Jimmy : 10/21/2017 5:20 pm : link
in that the Yankees bats have sucked in Houston vs. Their two best pitchers. This guy got bombed in the Bronx. Hopefully it is the two pitchers vs the atmosphere. I think they'll score runs. The question is what does Houston do?

Well you mentioned in last nights game thread too so it's obviously something that's worrying you.

Either way, I apologize for overreacting if you felt I did. We need all the good vibes we can get, don't want to start a pissing match. We have the random trolls coming out of the woodwork to take care of that for us

Yeah, I have faith in these guys but Game 7 on the road is a tall order. We need runs early, preferably a bunch of them.
lineups just posted  
TexasGmenFan : 10/21/2017 5:59 pm : link
NYY

1. Gardner
2. Judge
3. Gregorius
4. Sanchez
5. Bird
6. Castro
7. Hicks
8. Frazier
9. Headley

HOU

1. Springer
2. Bregman
3. Altuve
4. Correa
5. Gurriel
6. Gattis
7. McCann
8. Gonzalez
9. Reddick

nothing too shocking, thought there'd be an outside chance of Frazier and Hicks swapping spots. also no surprise with Reddick being moved to the 9-spot with CC on the hill.

Score more than 1 run. 3 runs in 27 innings in this stupid ballpark is just awful.
we have to jump out on Morton

Let's roll out.
Gotta get into the Astros bullpen early  
trueblueinpw : 10/21/2017 6:26 pm : link
Need a seriously strong showing from CC and he needs to give us 5 innings of scoreless baseball. The Yankees hitters had the right approach last night, unfortunately no one was getting to my ex-girlfriends new boyfriend the way he was throwing last night.

Lets go Yankees!
I expect an entirely different hitting approach than last night.  
manh george : 10/21/2017 7:24 pm : link
Last night, there was a consistent sense that they had to get to Verlander early in the count, and it just didn't help. Tonight, I expect the Yankees to wait on Morton to see if they can run up the pitch count and get ahead on counts more often.

It could work, and the drop down from the top two starters gives me hope.

Scoring early will be paramount  
Dave in PA : 10/21/2017 8:01 pm : link
Quiet the crowd and sow doubt into the minds of the Astros that now have all the expectations to win this game. Im not AT ALL sold on ge mental toughness of Houston. Screw them. Yanks are calm, cool and ready to collect their pennant. Gonna be a nail biter. Bring it Home big fella!

he's got no stuff in the zone. Yet they don't seem to hit him hard too often...unlike tonight, when they are drilling it. Thank the almighty we got Frazier, because Headley might not have made some of those plays tonight.
He might give him a chance against the bottom of the order.

But I've been watching this series with a friend whose a huge Yankees fan. How the fuck does the stadium make such a difference? They have 3 runs in 3 & 1/2 games in Houston. Meanwhile they have 19 runs in 3 games in NY. I don't understand how a stadium makes such a difference.


I think young team, Yanks play looser at home..

the Yankees are beating themselves. They had a perfect opportunity with a man on 2nd with no outs. They blew it. Sabathia did not pitch well. Last night, they had two men on and ended up with a long fly out to the wall. This is the same umpire calling balls and strikes for both teams. The Astros are playing like they want it more.

well, when you call strikes that are one foot above the dirt, for one team, and ball for the other, changes the whole complexing of the at bat.

Part of the game is having to adapt to the umpires. Anyone who has played the game at a competitive level will tell you that. A bad call here or there does not explain away the fact that the Astros are knocking the shit out of the yankee pitchers and the Yankees can barely advance a runner to 2nd base.

If you want to blame the umpires if the Yankees lose tonight then go ahead if it makes you feel better.

or a single player, just step back and look at what we witnessed the past two games.

We cannot hit and the Astros were making contact vs every pitcher we threw out there. It is as simple as that.

I was at my cousin's house in the island last night watching this game with him. We had two men on and someone hit a long fly ball to the wall in center field. It would have tied the game 3-3. I told my cousin at that moment that the series was over. We absolutely needed that 3 run homer there because we were not going to generate the additional runs needed to come back. Not the way we were swinging the bat last night. Then, Houston with momentum going into game 7.... over.

pretty poetic analysis since Girardi lives and dies by the 3 run hr. It's his only game plan I'd hate to see this dynamic group of young players turned into one dimensional Girardi replicants, they deserve better. When Greg Bird came up he was introduced as a player who hits to all fields, not anymore. He's all pull all the time, gotta reach that short porch hell or high water. The waters from Harvey may have receded in Houston, but the Yankees are in it deep right now. So much talent, hope they stay healthy and can take the next step next year.

true but they will need to find another really good starting pitcher somehow. CC has given his all but how much does he have left? Tanaka can opt out and why wouldnt he after this amazing post season? Severino, Gray, most likely Tanaka on a new deal and potentially 2 holes to fill. They have to find another arm capable of winning a game in October

Absolutely. A good offseason and we'll definitely be representing the AL next year in the World Series. They met a team that was at least 2-3 years ahead of them in terms of team development who will get no better than they are now
hell of a season. Final three teams

2001 was the absolute worst...we were reeling from 9/11 and the Yanks helped heal the city with that postseason run. I'd trade any of the other World Series years where we won for a title that year

illmatic : 10/21/2017 11:29 pm : link
Despite the disappointing last two games. I don't know how much they can do to improve this team in the offseason if they're really trying to cut back on the payroll but I guess we'll see. I just expect them to re-sign Tanaka and re-sign Sabathia and Frazier to short term deals. I expect mostly the same team to return with more of the young guys being worked in through the season as injuries happen.

What Cashman really needs to do is figure out how to get rid of Castro and Ellsbury. Castro can provide some hitting during the season but he's a negative in the playoffs. Hopefully Torreyes would be able to hold 2B down until Torres is ready. Ellsbury is just useless dead weight. I suppose they'd have to package a good prospect or two with him just to get rid of him and I doubt that's happening. I would include Headley in there but he only has one year left and they seem to like him as somewhat of a 1B/3B/DH utility guy now.

They will go into next season as the World Series favorite, and likely the next few years as well. It wasnt meant to be, but Im ok with it right now. This does feel like Seattle in 1995 when you saw the engines revving for the monster on the horizon.

Let Houston have their moment. They had so much go on with the flooding that this will be a good distraction for them. That said, LA was going to beat either team this year, so let the Astros bow out in 5
Great season.

There will be a lot of trash can fans of other teams talking shit tonight and for the next couple days. But just remember, the Yankees future is crazy bright, they outlasted every team in the AL until Game 7 and we're Yankees fans through and through.

Ellsbury is stuck here, no amount of crafty GMing by Ca$h is going to rid the team of him him less they eat 80+% of his remaining money. Headley should be bought out. Im sure hes a nice guy and tries hard but he sucks and is a complete liability. The Yankees wont eat the last year of his deal since its $13M, but it would be addition by subtraction.

Just not ready yet, cant play like that on the road in a series and win, they scored 3 runs in 4 games in Houston.

Only positive is I get to not listen to Joe Buck anymore, I dont Fu$king care that guy sucks and roots against all New York teams, hes a huge loser who should be not be on national games anymore , 21 years is enough when hes no longer doing it Im throwing a huge party and drinking till I pass out I hate him so much , hes so bad Im telling you, hes horrible.

To bad it ended a week or so too early. Houston was a legit better team for 162 games and the earned home field and took advantage as this was basically 2 series in one depending on where the game was played. It was a great 7 months bantering back and forth with you guys sharing the ups and downs. The future is very bright and hopefully going forward we have great regular seasons and make sure these deciding games are played in our house.

mfsd : 10/21/2017 11:51 pm : link
last 2 nights. They earned home field advantage over 162 and it paid off in this series.

I hate falling back on moral victories, but theres so much to be excited about with the Yanks future. Add to all that a ton of great experience in playoff games like the last 2 weeks against the best teams in baseball. Guys like Judge, Bird, Sanchez, Didi et al will remember these games and ABs and hopefully be better hitters in the future bc of it.

Yanks know they can play with anyone...but also know they have to be even better if they want to reach the mountaintop.

Also Turner had one of those Daniel Murphy series, can't expect him to repeat. Houston has a lot of holes to exploit - no bullpen, a weak catcher, and Roberts will make sure Altuve and Correa get nothing to hit. If the Yankees just committed to not throwing a single strike to Altuve and Correa all series they would have won easily. They are the only hitters on the team that can hit anything about mediocre/tired pitching.

hurts more than even 2004 did to me. Much worse actually. Not winning that one was fucking cruel





NO WAY!!! Yankees were lucky to even get to a 7th game in 2001 they had two miracle come backs back to back nights. 2001 does not other me as much as 2004 when the Yankees just came off a 19-8 ass whooping to go up 3-0 and completely choked after that.


Who gives a shit that they were lucky to even get to a 7th game. To have a lead in the 9th inning and lose the way they did is absolutely gut wrenching. Add on top of that 9/11 and it was just absolutely brutal.

2004 sucked, i was even there for game 7, but I didn't feel half as bad after that as I did 2001. Even if they won the ALCS that year they still had to win four more games. Yanks were 3 outs away from winning a title and they gave up one hard hit ball all inning and lost. I'll be surprised if I ever see a baseball game that hurts as much as that one did going forward. I certainly hope I don't have to see one worse

Aaron Judge is a rookie who hit 56 home runs this year and saved multiple home runs with his defense.

What's your point?


that's a fucking shitload of strikeouts! I hope that number goes down and it should as he matures and gets to know the pitchers. Kris Bryant struck out 199 his rookie year and is down to 128 this year.

So glad the piece of garbage rocky isn't a Yankees fan, though.



Disgusting piece of shit. Trying to take advantage of children. Got caught. Arrested. Scum.

This team doesn't sniff the wild card without Judge doing three quarters of what he did this year.

You're bitching about nothing. You're an ill-informed, spoiled and shitty fan who has no perspective or real investment in this team. You like to complain. Bitch and moan. Yack about nothing.

It's typical. And it's annoying. Go root for the Mets. Be gone.

I watched every single game this year, probably 90% of the games Girardi has managed for this team. I've been a fan of the Yankees since the early 70's and my father who is 89 has been going to Yankee games since the 1930's. If you think I haven't earned the right to criticize this team then you are probably drunk. By the way, I wasn't criticized Judge, I was just in awe that someone could strike out 235 times in a season and still be incredibly productive. I'm sure there are many in the Yankee organization wondering if they should do something about it or just chalk it up to a new era in the game.

last 2 nights. They earned home field advantage over 162 and it paid off in this series.

I hate falling back on moral victories, but theres so much to be excited about with the Yanks future. Add to all that a ton of great experience in playoff games like the last 2 weeks against the best teams in baseball. Guys like Judge, Bird, Sanchez, Didi et al will remember these games and ABs and hopefully be better hitters in the future bc of it.

Yanks know they can play with anyone...but also know they have to be even better if they want to reach the mountaintop.

Great time talking baseball with all my fellow Yankee fans here all season and especially the last couple weeks!!


Great post, nothing to add. The team went farther that just about everyone though they could. There are plenty of holes to fill and plenty of things to work on but they now know how to win, they need to figure out how to finish.
I hope Joe stays, he seems to have the players confidence.
Not satisfied with losing but happy with the progress.
I will be heading to Tampa in March.

Great season and I think  
section125 : 10/22/2017 7:08 am : link
they got everything out of it that they could.

It will be interesting to see what Judge does to cut down on Ks. He has improved every year correcting flaws at each level. Guy works his butt off to improve all the time. Good things happen when he puts the ball in play.

Sanchez will improve his catching. It is just refinement now. Would not be surprised if he loses about 10 lbs to get quicker.

A fully rested off season for Bird and that sweet swing.

Sonny Gray has far too much talent to be going 3-2 count on virtually every batter and being out of games in the 5th inning.

Lastly, here is hoping Ells is moved and Gardy isn't.

3 1/2 months to pitchers and catchers!
Season  
Percy : 10/22/2017 7:53 am : link
Was exciting and a surprise. Strong team in the making. Need a new hitting coach. Pitching needs to be shored up. Don't have much faith in Gray, frankly, because his pitches have no element of deception; Sebathia, terrific as he has been, is over the hill; no reliable stoppers on the team (Severino and Chapman are both over-rated IMHO, but Tanaka might be the starter guy, and there seem to be great prospects still in the minors). Bring Girardi back. Part with Betances. Bottom line: one hell of a show by this team. On to next year.
I think some are being too cavalier about the future  
Matt M. : 10/22/2017 8:29 am : link
Yes, this year was a nice surprise. Yes, they have some top prospects likely to be called up. But,neither guarantees future success.

Will Torres be 100% after his injury? It shouldn't affect his fielding much, but it is the front arm hitting, which can be a big deal.

They have decisions to make with the pitching. Re-sign an OPT out Tanaka? For how much and how long? Re-sign Gray? Many are asking for a Betances trade. What is his current value when the team clearly didn't trust him? Which prospects will be up and are they ready?
Can they drastically cut down strikeouts? Those who aren't concerned, especially with Judge, I think, can be in for an unpleasant surprise. If he continues to be a 200+ K player, you don't consistently see those kinds of HE totals and the BA will be close to 250 (or below) than 280-300. I love Judge and think he is hugely talented. But, one year doesn't make his future a foregone conclusion.
So

So, while we have plenty to look forward to, I think it is wrong to assume this is just a bump in the road and there are multiple WS titles in the next 5 years.

There is never a guarantee. Just look at the Cubs and Indians.
That said, you'd rather be where the Yankees are in terms of players and prospects. The more good players you have the better the chances of getting deep into the playoffs.
Disappointing end, bright future

That was easily one the most enjoyable seasons of baseball I have ever experienced. So unexpected. I was prepared for struggles and a losing record. I was keeping my hopes down. I just wanted the Yanks to progress and show they could be competitive. Then 2018 be in the thick of things for the playoffs. This year exceeded expectations by a lot. I'll take it.

Looking forward to next year. The Yankees are going to be good.

JerryNYG : 10/22/2017 9:36 am : link
But having confidence in this core young talent is a pretty reasonable position to take.

We still can hope to see more next year from Montgomery, Torres, Andujar, Adams, Clint Frazier, and more of the kids from the farm.

I would love to see Ellsbury dealt (even if we eat a lot of salary), Castro dealt, Betances dealt. I think Frasier will walk due to wanting a multi-year deal.

I think they sign Sabathia if his demands are reasonable (1 - 2 year contract at most). I think they sign Tanaka if he opts out or they try to give him an extension prior to an opt out.

I don't think they will be big players in free agency otherwise. They need a starting pitcher for sure, but I can't see them making big plays on any position players this year.

arcarsenal : 10/22/2017 10:09 am : link
Sorry, fellas.

I really thought the Yanks were going to get to the WS. I felt like they were going to win it, actually.

Regardless, it's good experience for the younger guys. I think they probably learned a good bit and can take that with them going forward.

Still a hell of a run. No one had y'all here back in April.

I don't know what the plan is for Girardi, but I really thought all of the calling for his head after game 2 of the DS was over the top. Joe is a good manager. I'd love to have him. If he wants to return, NYY would be wise to retain him IMO.

I do think this team is built for sustained success - the model the Yankees are using seems to be more dependable. Hitters are a bit more reliable than putting most of your eggs in your pitching. Severino was tremendous this year, though.

CC looks like he still has a bit left in the tank. He's a FA, correct? If you could sign him for another year, I probably would. 2 would be dicey at his age. Unless he's considering retiring - but I don't recall reading anything like that.

Having Gray under team control is good, too.

Frazier should be a bigger part of the team next year.

Plenty to be excited about.
Looking forward to next season.  
Jim in Hoboken : 10/22/2017 10:57 am : link
Somebody needs to sit down with Sanchez and improve his defense this offseason. We can't have such a liability behind the plate despite his offensive ability.

Otherwise pitching will be the key. Gray will be a good 2-3. Sevy hopefully will continue his success and stay healthy. Montgomery should take another step forward. Give Adams a realistic chance to make the club next spring. Then I assume at least one of CC or Tanaka will be back, so that gives us 5 starters. Sheffield has been impressive in the AFL, maybe he'll position himself for a cameo later on in the year.

On the hitting side, I know you can't have young studs without track record at every position, but I wouldn't mind giving Torres and Andujar a shot out of spring. Clint Frazier has to be worked into the rotation too. Next year could be similary exciting to track the development of these other youngsters.
It's also really cool

Tough to lose a Game 7  
EddieNYG : 10/22/2017 2:21 pm : link
But this was a great season for the Yankees.

A young core is developing with more young players in the pipeline.

You cannot underestimate what this run should do going forward. This young team was 1 game away from going to World Series. They will be hungry to get back and the experience they gained from this should only benefit them moving forward.

Going forward, assuming Cashman is back and I don't see why he wouldn't be, just stay the course and let him do his thing. I think he will continue to make creative trades.

Tough loss, but we should be a hungry team in 2018. Future is bright!
