opinion. As I posted this morning, it is hard to believe Romine would whiff 11 out of 20 ABs, however Sanchez is still the better catcher. And in this series were Aaron Judge has an OBP of .303 and Slugging of .381, hits and rbis hard to come by.
Even Smoltz said that yeah he is looking bad at the plate now, but he can turn it around in the next AB.
So, you always run what you brung. I'm staying with Gary. Is anyone pulling Gardy for Maybin? No, I did not think so.
RE: I still think I would rather see Stanton in there than EE. Â
Stanton is not healthy. He couldn’t even run to 1st base last night. He jogged slowly on a groundball. And his at bats were atrocious
His at bats were bad yesterday. But EE has looked even worse all series so far. Before yesterday, Stanton was at least working counts.
Somebody needs to produce out of that spot, I have more faith with Stanton on a bad leg than EE at this point in the season. I hope he proves me wrong today!
Stanton can't even run and his AB's were terrible. Edwin has been awful since early in the MIN series, but he's still a better bet for quality AB's right now - and he's not dealing with a leg injury that is basically limiting him to jogging like Stanton.
Stanton was basically in the lineup to hit a HR. He came up with runners on and didn't do it. Didn't even put the ball in play, actually... he struck out. He just looks totally out of sorts. I'll take my chances with Eddy.
Finally, we catch a little break from Verlander, Cole and Greinke here. We have to capitalize and push this thing to a Game 7. Doesn't matter if it's Cole on full rest or not. Once you get there, anything can happen. All it takes is one off night.
How long can he be expected to last -- and who would follow him?
The fear is a long man like JA Happ. But perhaps on a very short leash. It would be amazing to go up by 3 or more and then have a bit of a cushion if you need to bring him in.
Shocked Astros aren’t using Cole tonight. They’ll hold him for a G7. I’f go for the kill if I were them. Why let the Yanks have a legit shot at taking this to 7 and the momentum would be huge. Gotta win tonight first.
Go Yankees!

Some guys including the best ones are dicey on short rest. They want the best version of Cole most likely.

Because if they use Cole on 3 days rest, they already burned Verlander, they have no safety net and the Yankees would have Severino starting. If Cole loses Game 6, they would be screwed in Game 7. The Game 4 win gave Hinch the breathing room he needed.

Heck of a gut check win last night and big tip of the cap to Paxton. Momentum might just have swung our way with getting to Verlander last night when so many thought it was a given he'd win.
I bailed for a bit because I found myself getting caught up in stupid BS and I didn't want to hijack the thread and take away from the game.
We're in the ALCS and should be enjoying these games and threads and not allowing stupid shit to derail them. I know we don't have an ignore feature here but I'm gonna use my own and I'm looking forward to getting back to enjoying our great game threads like we've had all year.
just because we aren't facing an ace doesn't mean it's not a big lead. they will just change the looks by using reliever after reliever if anyone gets in trouble
Astros suck when it comes to posting their lineup..
I'll keep searching.
Chad needs to get through 2 and we can hope for 3..
Even Smoltz said that yeah he is looking bad at the plate now, but he can turn it around in the next AB.

If Gardy had done that, he would have been pulled from the
starting lineup.

Gotta fucking rally here. Let's go, Yanks.

Good point, as well as the post above.
Happ for 1
Otto for 1
Kahnle/Britton/chap get the rest

Let's go Yanks and get this one.
Happ for 1

Really could have used German tonight. What a douchebag.

Yea he would have helped this series for sure.
Keep them off balance and make their hitters see a different pitcher every AB.
Lol
You have to believe this is the opposite of what they discussed. I can't believe they let him out with 7 pitches
I actually agree with this

Could have just put up the 4 fingers anyway and not wasted the pitches
Go get Cole in off-season please cash, stop ignoring it.
We gonna need 8+ runs to win to ight
we also need clutch hitters
Irony was Hinch cried about Hicks home run being 315 feet
Yup..but cash says otherwise
