Here we go ladies. Huge game this afternoon. Absolutely huge. Win and it's all tied up. Lose and the Yankees are playing the elimination game.
Great call by Mr. Shock with the Romine insertion. He'll be behind the dish for Gray and Sanchez will DH. I like it. Here's the pitching matchup - no lineup out for Houston yet - but it's time to get it the fuck on.
me me me me I will!!

3 errors tonight. Insane.
You literally have never had a take on any sports topic that's been correct. Never. Not once.
We have guys who will learn and a team with guts and calm.
Ignore your initial biases on the trade and assess his actual performance. He was fantastic
I don't like Gray because he takes for ever to throw. He wastes far too many pitches, seems always behind in the count and you look up in the 5th inning and he has thrown 80 or 90 pitches. His waste pitches are nowhere near the strike zone so batters know they aren't strikes, there is little enticement to swing at a pitch a foot outside.
He pitched a very good game up until the 6th but you just cannot walk the leadoff guy with Altuve and Correa coming up.
The Astros pitching approach has been the same as the Indians...seems like about 80% breaking balls, and they’ve been giving our offense fits.
We were good enough to get past Cleveland still, but may not be against Houston.
Getting pissed off about our offensive approach at this point of the season seems a bit of a fools errand - we’re playing against one of the 2 best teams in baseball and getting exposed. Hard to expect the Yanks to suddenly turn into a 98 Yankees type offense (.364 team OBP) all of a sudden in the ALCS.
In the end, it’s up to Cashman to find one or two more guys to put this team over the top (2B and/or 3B), but that’s for the offseason, not going to help us now.

Yep, hopefully Torres is up for the challenge of batting second, with Judge, Sanchez and Bird behind him.
Judge!!!
Robertson also walked the next batter and gave up the penultimate double to some fat guy.
And let's not forget the bats have been watery shit.
All rise.
Nice to see the big fella go that way!!! Let’s go!
His defense let him down.
A big difference in this series has been base running. The Yankees have been thrown out at home on what should have been an easy score if Bird took a proper-sized lead. Gardner was thrown out at third for the third out of an inning, though it took one of the beset relays you'll ever see to get him. Didi was picked off first, and Judge got tagged up.
Meanwhile, we couldn't even get an easy relay home to get Altuve in Game 2 because Sanchez couldn't field a hop.
2nd of the night, Castro with the brain fart game people were worried about...
