and Hitting let them down. The supposed strengths of the team
It’s unbelievable how Altuve turns around fastballs.  
Jim in Hoboken : 10/20/2019 12:21 am : link
Frustrating as heck how their stars come up big and ours wilt.

And most here didn’t believe me.. Chapman is a choker! He has been ever since he left The Cubs!! Astros are just a better team overall. Way better pitching and better bats.. what a joke Chapman is.. Now it’s time to let him go. Find another closer.

To me. The bottom 9th was the epitome of this series. They hit in big spots, we didn't outside of DJs homer
I haven't hated a team this much  
RasputinPrime : 10/20/2019 12:24 am : link
since the Red Sox actually had a team worth hating.

Gut-wrenching loss where as bad as we hit, we were a handful of pitches from moving on.
If Chapman  
MookGiants : 10/20/2019 12:24 am : link
opts out, he's gone. Good pitcher, but they are getting Betances back and have Britton. Don't need to sign Chapman to a long term deal.

People will overreact to this series loss. It sucks for sure, but this was a terrific season. Fun to watch, guys stepping up through all of the injuries. It hurts like hell right now, but this season is not a failure in my eyes.

Hal has to sign Cole. Doing that changes the outlook for both teams.

Next year has to be the year.

Damn it. Would have been easier if we just went quietly in the ninth.


Bullshit. I'd much rather they battled like they did and see DJ get that huge HR than going down quietly. They didn't quit all year and they didn't tonight either. It sucks they lost but I'm proud they battled back to tie.
Great season  
Nine-Tails : 10/20/2019 12:24 am : link
Though it didnt end the way we wanted and its disappointing. I love this team
Anyway great great season  
micky : 10/20/2019 12:24 am : link
They did best they could, just ran into a Houston team that is on a whole different level. Nothing to hang their heads about.
nice year but not satisfied  
xman : 10/20/2019 12:24 am : link
hope for some changes rather then hanging on to the same high priced veterans that are now FA's. Was it worth bring CC back this year for his final tour?

I don't need Yanks to go out and out spend others for pitchers. They have a plethora of young arms in the minors so lets go with the kids.
I hope the Nats smoke these idiots in the WS.

It was a BS hanging slider up in the zone with Jake Marisnekszk on deck. No words.

Oh shut the fuck up. He's a good closer. He's not Mariano, no one is. You were wrong then and you're still wrong.

I will never understand why we didn't push hard for Morton. The offense was excellent and barring having pursued someone like Brantley, we were built to win but had too many players come up small in this series. Outside of DJ and Torres, none of our hitters were remotely good enough to win this series.

Yeah, lets go with the kids re: starting pitching. That's certainly worked for this franchise the past 2 decades.

Relievers gave up the runs.

Our second line relievers did not.

Scherzer, Strasburg, and Corbin can matchup with Cole, Verlander, and Greinke.
I haven't enjoyed a regular season more than this since 1978  
rnargi : 10/20/2019 12:28 am : link
It was a joy to watch this team beat the odds injury after injury. Great year. Unfortunately, the magic ran out and the odds turned against them. You just can't expect to hit 5 or 6 hrs a game in the playoffs. They have to learn how to do the little things again. We'll see if they learn anything this off-season.

Torres had a bad 2nd half of the series. He tried hitting everything out. He was swinging out of his shoes. He wasn't the only one.
Said it all year  
PetesHereNow : 10/20/2019 12:29 am : link
Don’t get beat on your 2nd best pitch. Especially not with one of their worst hitters up there.

Can’t really complain. 100+ wins with the injuries they had, won the playoff series they were supposed to win. Lost the one to the favorite.

It will be an interesting offseason.
Chapman is cooked  
beatrixkiddo : 10/20/2019 12:29 am : link
He has made his career on his fastball, he has had more rest than anyone on this team and he completely lost it. Without a dominate fastball he is nothing more than a setup man now.

There is a lot to fix this offseason. Need a true Ace, 1B is a question mark, Didi is likely gone, need to hope Betances comes back strong and can be the guy to take over from Chapman. Who is our LF moving forward, hope they give Frazier a shot he needs to get his defense together this team needed his bat bad this postseason.
Lots of things need to be done this offseason.  
Jim in Hoboken : 10/20/2019 12:29 am : link
Getting Cole from Astros is a tough ask, and might not be enough with how many high K guys on offense they have.

Meant to say worst hitters on deck.

Cole isn't returning to Houston. No reason the Yankees should let anyone outbid them.
7 of 9 starters didn’t bat

Stu11 : 10/20/2019 12:32 am : link
but otherwise he'll be back as he should be. The guy is a top notch closer. We've got problems but he sure isn't one of them. Clodsers get beat, they give up bombs. Osuna did too. It happens.

He couldn’t throw it anywhere near the strike zone, and it was very hit table. That’s a problem. His slider and change up don’t work as well without the fastball.

If Chapman opts out and the Yankees don't pick up Edwin's option, the Yankees have free agent money to spend in a way no 100 win team ever has.

This is going to Cash's dream offseason.
