I wonder on which pitch Jacoby will ground out to the 2b

Ugh Ellsbury...almost wish it was C.C. pinch hitting

What a bomb, Stros still gonna win

Ok no worries never said itll be a sweep...we'll be back tomorrow.

Oh well, actually hung in there well. Ran pretty bad, we'll get em tomorrow.

That was a pathetic swing by jacoby

Exactly as I thought. ****ing waste!

Yankee DHs have been pathetic. Rather see Frazier move up in the lineup.

Guys, please call Ellsbury by his correct name, "cano's money". Astros bunched their hits, didn't think Tanaka could hold them down without his slider.

Yanks really should have added Clint Frazier or Tyler Austin to the roster, these DH at bats have been ridiculously bad.

Did anyone think the Yankees would clobber Kluber twice either?

You just go with your best as early as you can and try to win every game. Yankees ran pretty bad today. As much as I can't stand Girardi I have no issue with starting Tanaka.

lol girardi

they asked why he challenged he said "i thought he was out but god knows i'm not doing that again"

Well at least he's honest this time

Ya it really cost the Yankees losing a challenge, what a moron

but it would have messed up kaechal's rhythm!

Since I've been watching baseball the Yankees have struggled with soft tossing lefties. Moyer, Cliff Lee, Hamels, Keuchel. It just doesn't matter. For whatever reason they just look foolish to these guys. Make these guys look like Koufax. We've always killed the other teams #1. Verlander, Pedro, Kluber, Brown, pick one.

stop saying "we" you're not on the team.

you named 2 cy young winners with those lefties.
they have struggled vs soft tossing bum lefties ( i remeber bill traber one hitting name) but you named 3 great (for a few years at least) pitchers and jamie moyer.

pedro had a 3.20 era in during the steroid era vs the yankees with a .603 ops against

they didn't kill pedro at all.they did win a bunch of low scoring games against him.

kevin brown had a .615 ops against with a 2.50 era and if you like old man stats a 12-3 record in his career against the yankees


so of the 4 righties you named they didn't hit 2 of them at all. at least next time use some facts in your posts.

oh you know who else they didnt hit at all- roy halladay and felix hernandez. and probably most other number 1s if you actually look it up instead of just mouthing off.

edit-actually just looked it up and they took a dump on hamels in the ws.
jamie moyer had one playoff start vs the yankees. he was excellent. he also sucked in his career against them otherwise.


you're a typical wfan caller. no facts or logic to what you say just call the manager an idiot no matter what he does and spew nonsense.

Good poast borg.

I only care about the playoffs. Not game 71 of the regular season. We couldn't get it done vs Keuchel in any of his other starts vs us. Hopefully we can get it done tomorrow. Got big game Severino on the mound, and as long as we have the defense to back him up should put up the goose egg. But can we get the bats going is the question. We've hit Verlander in the past, and that's what we can draw on. Tough luck loss tonight. What can ya do. Onwards and upwards.

they hit hamels in the world series. kevin brown pitched really well in the world series. the padres bullpen shat the bed in his first start, the yankees shut him out in his second start.

verlander pitched against the yankees 5 years ago in the playoffs. maybe they hit him tomorrow maybe they don't but besides gardener nobody on this team was in their lineup then so it's irrelevant.there is nothing to draw on there.

tonight wasn't a tough loss. both pitchers pitched well and they lost to a better team. game 2 vs cle was a tough loss.

and did you really call severino big game severino? you just said you don't wanna talk about the regular season.
severino's playoff experiece is leaving a do or die game down 3-0 in the 1st with 1 out 2nd and 3rd and a game he pitched well where his team scored 5 early.

"we should put up a goose egg" lol classic. yea he's a big favorite to throw a shutout tomorrow.i mean i hope he does and all but...

like i said you're a perfect wfan caller.

What's wrong with saying 'we' about your team?

A lot...but imo it's all context based anyway and doesn't bother me as much as it does others. Its surely not the first time I've seen people get called out on it on this forum, and it won't be the last. Also to be fair Eddy is not even close to the only poster that does this you can go up and down the regular season thread and see it on a daily basis. It just seems that when he posts some other posters visuaize "Vinny from Brooklyn" calling into wfan to speak to Boomer (who also does the "we" crap till I puke in my mouth) and it comes off as obnoxious especially when it's just nonsense and nothing fact based.

Then when he has a point (like with the rotation in ALCS) it's white noise once you get to the "we" part because people that are looking for intelligent debate see it as "who the **** are you your not on the team" and don't get into the context of the point.

Basically for me if your debating a game decision, umpire call, team dynamic, etc. on a forum like this or others using "we" just makes it sound unintelligent regardless of if you are or not. In a game setting when your deep into the bag getting crazy like "OMFG WE JUST WON" or "OMFG THE UMP IS SCREWING US" that's totally fine in my eyes because your at a game/watching a game so your supposed to be emo about it.

That's why we have STT threads basically for the reg. season game thread posts and then the reg. season thread for discussion. This thread is sort of a hybrid of both since there is no "Playoff discussion thread" so any "we" posts that come out from here going forward my suggestion for this thread just ignore and move on in life.

There's nothing wrong with saying 'we' as your team. It's when you follow that up with a bunch of emotional rhetoric that your pov will be looked at differently.



What are thoughts on lifting Sanchez for a pinch runner with two outs in the 8th?
There was a runner on second, and he was on first. It seems interesting because you can't fault the logic to do everything you can to maximize scoring in that moment, and the other side is much less quantifiable

Understanding that if they don't score those two runs he won't get another AB; but the only way speed comes into a play is either a perfect gapper or double down the RF line (left field you aren't scoring) or if Sanchez's runner reaches second (via walk or passed ball) and has to score one a single.

The flip side is if they did plate those two runs and that lineup spot comes up again; what's the difference between Sanchez and a pinch hitter/Romine? Personally I think Sanchez is talented enough to be able to own the plate vs some match ups, but whether that spot will come up is way too hypothetical. Also idk about game flow but Romine should be an upgrade, in most areas, as a defensive replacement.

Yankees had a better run differential playing in a better division. Maybe the Astros are a better team, or maybe they're not. But it's pretty damn close either way.

I think Verlander is going to be the perfect slump buster for THE YANKEES. If he can't locate with his curve, Judge might be able to go multi HR vs him. I see THE YANKEES, chasing him early, and Severino pitching 7 strong. Looking at a 5-1 6-1 type of game, in my opinion.

Is it free money to bet on the opposite of what Eddy predicts usually?
