bravado. Our pitching has limited their line-up, which ranks 1st in every freaking category, thus far. It's our freaking line-up full of swing and miss guess hitters crapping the bed.

Unfortunately those 2 at bats may cost us the entire series

has had some shitty AB's recently too.

Swinging through a 91 mph fastball on the outer half that he should destroy to right field was a bad sign.

Yes, but because our hitting is not getting it done, we need your pitching to be on point. Tanaka hasn't been this inning.
it's just unreal  
RasputinPrime : 10/17/2019 9:12 pm : link
I feel like we could have won each game and we just can't hit bad pitches or come up with big hits.

I'm glad Stanton is resting up for when we need him.
Yup the Astros are locked in at the plate

pitching was good enough the last two games. we scored 3 runs
Yankees hitters have no one to blame but themselves this series  
jgambrosio : 10/17/2019 9:14 pm : link
This in theory could have been a sweep. We got to Verlander. We got to Cole. We got to greinke. No one got hits when it mattered.

That and Ottavino.

Time to pull tanaka...?
Sanchez killing me  
mattnyg05 : 10/17/2019 9:14 pm : link
That at bat was the game. He absolutely fucking sucks. “Leave him in because he might hit a home run” well he’s hitting 180 over two seasons also but I guess that doesn’t mean anything. Two strikes in that guy and there’s 0 chance of getting on base.
Gotta take Tanaka out  
illmatic : 10/17/2019 9:14 pm : link
he's not fooling any of their hitters. They're just throwing the bat at the bad stuff and still getting on base.

We didn't lose a game when he was in the lineup and haven't won one since he's been out.
Houston has the better team, no shame in saying that. Look at the  
Jim in Hoboken : 10/17/2019 9:18 pm : link
numbers. And on top of that they seem to execute better too. We might come back and win tonight, but beating Verlander and Cole will be difficult.

We are used to outspending the other teams by a good margin, let's get back to that by signing Cole this off-season.

We need to shift from the philosophy of all power and all relievers.

Id bet they felt they had Tanaka on the ropes and wanted more swings at him than chance getting thrown out. Wasn't Judge's best throw but they didn't know that would be the case.

I stand corrected. Didn't realize his season stats. He was mediocre against the Yankees which is what I'm remembering.

Some of these at-bats are just gutless.

Getting late early. Time to sack up. This is a winnable baseball game.

Much like the last 2.

Acting like this one is already over. Earlier in the season in this situation that would not have been the case. They'd win it in the 8th. Suggests that the Astros actually have gotten the Yankees' number. What's missing? The infamous Yankee bats. Again. If they don't believe in them, who will?

Agreed. The team just feels flat.

Nice pick by DJ who is our best defensive player at 3 positions

Has looked terrible at SS in the playoffs. Still a + defensive player but has to be noted given the contract situation.

Completely agree.

It's one thing if he was calling those all game but he wasn't. I always think of O'Neill when umps are inconsistent like that. If would drive him crazy when he played and still does when he's in the booth.
On the bright side..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 10/17/2019 9:40 pm : link
the Astros swinging early probably allows Tanaka to pitch deeper
