That AB was embarrassing for a veteran. You make a guy work there....he gets to a 2-0 count the dude makes a mistake or ends up walking him

Not just that AB; the whole series. Bases loaded after a 4 pitch walk with all 4pitches all over the place and Didi follows by swinging at the 1st pitch to end the inning and a couple of other times.

You know, because of this series I went back and looked at this numbers with the Yankees. He has had streaks every season where he seems impossible to get out and carries the team, but his final numbers are not great.

strike 2 call

But that was a really good AB.

I feel the same. A very good AB. He hasn't hit like that in a long time.

DJLM turns back at the umpire and tells him it's outside

Christ!!

It's official. I am onboard for robot strike zone

for DJLM

thanks for changing the ball

Is atrocious.

Let’s go.

and another AB the Astros are aided by the umpire.

to about 10 missed pitches this game.

You can't have this in a ALCS

Hit well.

Judge here

DJLM most likely gets a hit if he doesn't fall down 0-2 in the count. Now Judge swings and misses at a pitch outside that could have been called a strike

Hit like you did as a rookie and put us in front.

swinging at the first pitch out of the zone. C'mon, guys. Show some patience.

They don't know that it's out of the zone because the crooked ump is calling it a strike

Is hot trash.

UMP is helping stros big time

should have 5 or 6 runs

injury to Pressley is pretty big. If we keep this close - we will have them running out of arms by the 7th.

Yea but make him keep calling it a strike. Judge and dj wouldn't have done anything withthose pitches except hit a weak grounder to second

Pitching staff needs to hang on for dear life.

They are going to try and get some distance out of urquidy. That's good for us. He sucks

Since the 2017 home run derby. Ruined his stroke. I'd never let a player participate in that if I were a manager.

Ump be like I got this Hinch, just make sure you sent the money to the correct account

Was thinking the same. They really only have Harris and Osuna as legit arms left.

They stole 2 innings out of Happ

gulp

We need a shut down inning here and get him right back out there against the heart of our order. Knock him around a bit and get them scrambling for outs.

Jesus christ

called balls now

For Cessa...

.

Instead he’s about to get walked

two pitches on the corner called balls.

There is a distinct bias, across different pitchers.

Very bad

strikes off the plate. What really gets me is the inconsistency of it. Sometimes they're balls, sometimes they're strikes. A pitch that hits the bottom of the strike zone is a ball but off the sides of the plate is a strike. It's just stupid. How did MLB not review his calls before the playoffs? They decided he was good to get a game behind the plate?

And an amazing play by Urshela there.

what a play to get Gurriel

Great play by GIo keeps him off base. But yea, must be nice to have 5 strikes to work with

.

is why I was dying when people were calling in FAN today saying DJLM should play 3B tonight with Encanacion at 1B, even though neither has played the respective position in weeks.

Get the memo, America wants a game 7
Not even close to consistency

Worries me. He’s due

go out of their way every game to praise Alvarez.

is the next great star
