LOL YANKS

Tough to knock a guy who almost won the triple crown, but Judge was almost as bad as Donaldson this series.

Yea that was terrible
Even worse when they were 100 games up in September and could have seen how they handled major league pitching

Radio guy said the Yankees won 2/11 games against the Astros this year, but only led in 3/100 innings.

5 days until the world series

I hope it rains all in Philly next week all week
Let them finish around Thanksgiving

Yanks thanks for the lolz. At least I appreciate the booing and giving the bird to Ted Cruz.

GL Astros fans. It's going to be electric in Philly!

Any of you dorks want to pull up my quotes on how those batting Ks won't work in the playoffs, when they were projected to be the GOAT team during early Summer? Like how you do with all my other Yankee ****.

What about Schwarber and Hoskins?


Didn't you have the Jays killing everyone?

Somehow the Phillies made it to the WS with 2 starters, 2 relievers, and 2 hitters.

Hard to see that holding up against the Astros - Harpers has to be pitched way more carefully than SD did.

Surprised Houston only -192

Phillies have more than 2 hitters

-175 on draftkings

Shhh... keep the betting lines down.

Costas

I remember Dallas Keichel shut them out a couple of times in the regular season also. He started that wild card game and went 6 or 7 innings.

Hush borg23, everyone knew txdome was only kidding about the Blue Jays titling.

No, I was all in on the Jays. I had no idea the Astros pitching would be this strong come playoff time. As I value the 3 big time SPs doyer and the Jays had with a killer lineup over the Astros 7 SPs who somehow all turned into aces.

Seriously fire this candy ass manager already. They tried to motivate the Yankees players by showing them footage of the Yankees blowing the 2004 ALCS. Really now? Really???

You are advocating for exactly what I'm advocating for. Of course you need cost-controlled players who are produce good value. You're saying you need that for a team with a mega signing or the best analytic player in baseball to be successful. I'm saying if you can find the cost-controlled players who are good value you don't need to sign the mega star into their late 30s and 40s.

I'm also not saying don't pay players. There are stars making a lot of money that are fine and justified. What I am very much against is 10+ year deals that take players well past their primes. Someone told me I'd hate the Realmuto contract. That's the exact kind of contract I love. A guy who can field his position, hits for contact with power, is arguably the best player at his position and signed til he's 34 at reasonable money.

You are right, you have to have cost-controlled players and the ability to scout and develop them. The Yankees are obviously awful at that, but also go back to this model that doesn't work of boom bust home run guys and expect a different result. It's been a broken record against the Astros alone since 2017. They'll go out and give someone a dumb contract like they always do, cite analytics and their fit in Yankee Stadium, and it will be the same thing over and over again. A team like the Astros on the other hand let's Cole walk, and has Valdez outperforming him, let's Correa walk and has their rookie Pena being series MVP, etc...

Fitting the Yankees were eliminated without the Astros hitting a home run too. Just a great, balanced hitting team with no easy outs in that lineup. So well built.

Finally, I know we all like to troll txdome bc he asks for it so much, but just lol any Yankee fans that brings up cheating and Chapman's dumb **** eating grin after giving up the Altuve bomb that year. The Astros are so much better than the Yankees and constantly bringing up and blaming the cheating has masked the real reasons why this team has been so outmatched.

Leave me with Bader and Rizzo and the rest of the lineup can come or go as far as I'm concerned. Except for Donaldson, Hicks and IKF. They can all gtfo

I've always lol@ anyone crying about the Astros cheating
The Yankees were doing similar stuff.
They lost in the 2017 alcs bc they scored 3 runs in 4 games in Houston.That's it. Home team won all 7 games that series.

The fact Cashman was crying in 2022 about that's why they didn't win the 2017 world series is pathetic. He's supposed to be the GM of the team not some front runner calling up Mike Francessa's show.

What? Pena hit a 3 run home run yesterday.

Houston hit 6 home runs this series,the Yankees hit 3.

Houston hit 3 run home runs in both games they won by 1 run.
3 run home runs are still good and stuff.


And yes obviously we agree Houston's front office is way better.

And now 4 more days of no baseball before the November world series.

lol Yankees what a ****ing fail

gotta get caught up on this thread now

so much for judgekiss.gif lol

yeah this blows

rooting for the Phillies obviously but it'll be tough because the Astros are the best team by far

Right. Every postseason they lose because they don't hit. Every year we point to regular season numbers and excuses are made. Then the same thing happens the next season justice the same thing will happen next year.

Right the SS they actually developed and played and didn't trade for IKF to play over him. The rookie who won series MVP. Obv I meant that last inning but whatever we've been through 3 run hr being better than the random solo shot while everyone else strikes out.

+1


The Phillies do have a couple CY caliber SPs and a league MVP in Harper (plus others). Not sure I'd bet on the Phillies, but they have plenty of talent.

So you had Judge and Stanton ( Stanton11 home runs in 80 playoff at bats before this series btw) sucking this series bc they strike out too much- i get that.

Did you also have strike out machines Hoskins and Schwarber hitting 7 home runs in 33 at bats in the NLCS? I just want to be able to predict exactly what guys will do in short series like you do so easily- it seems like it would be quite profitable.

As for the bolded- literally nobody is claiming the Yankees front office is better than Houston's. They definitely don't make some trade that involves getting 35 year old Josh Donaldson with 2 years 56 million dollars on his contract to get IFK then pick starting shortstops out of a hat in the LCS.

This is a much closer match than -170. Against the Pads it would have been a lead pipe lock.
