Ugh Frazier just missed it

 

[Ghost Rider]

What a play! 

 

[The Big Donkey]

Ugh Frazier just missed it

should have been a sac fly after the missed ball 4 on hicks.

 

[NREC34]

Verlander is wearing down a bit I'm afraid 

 

[Ghost Rider]

Verlander is wearing down a bit I'm afraid 

Yep. If he gets out of this, no way should be come back out for the 8th. 

 

[falguy]

Hes wiped. 

Grwt game but he's done.

Rest up. You're starting tomorrow

 

[fred_1_15301]

Yep. If he gets out of this, no way should be come back out for the 8th. 

I'm not sure I trust anyone in the Astros bullpen more than an extremely weary Verlander.      

 

[shadyridr]

A Dal Maxvil reference for reddick

 

[NREC34]

Peacock. Ugh

 

[falguy]

Not what you want lol.

0 for 21 from the 2 hitter.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Peacock. Ugh

What happened to him?  He was a beast in the regular season.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Is this guy really the best the Astros have? 

 

[The Big Donkey]

That was a bomb.

 

[NREC34]

What happened to him?  He was a beast in the regular season.

I'm not sure. I'm honestly not a huge baseball fan anymore. Just know he lost a game against the Red Sox 

 

[fred_1_15301]

Is this guy really the best the Astros have? 

He was very good in the regular season (as both a starter and reliever)

 

[shadyridr]

How are Charlie Morton  (or mccullers) and THIS Astros bullpen gonna piece together 9 innings tomorrow. Should be interesting. (Yeah that's my try at a jinx)

 

[fred_1_15301]

Is this guy really the best the Astros have? 

His stuff is very filthy but control is an issue.  Still very good as evidenced by that last pitch.

 

[NREC34]

Need to break this open

make the 9th stress free

 

[whoknew]

I've no idea why Girardi is leaving Robertson in there. Save him for tomorrow.

 

[NREC34]

Tough choice on the pitcher tomorrow 

 

[The Big Donkey]

Tough choice on the pitcher tomorrow 

No Keuchel, no Verlander.   Gotta be happy about that as Yankee fan.

 

[whoknew]

Why would they throw Giles here?

 

[whoknew]

No Keuchel, no Verlander.   Gotta be happy about that as Yankee fan.

I reckon you'll likely see both at some point.

 

[NREC34]

Why would they throw Giles here?

Get him work. 

I don't trust him when something important is on the line

 

[fred_1_15301]

No Keuchel, no Verlander.   Gotta be happy about that as Yankee fan.

God please no Morton. Game will be over after 3 innings 

 

[NREC34]

God please no Morton. Game will be over after 3 innings 

Ya just looked at his stats. 

Think id go McCullers 

 

[gump]

CC Sabathia wears the largest pants in MLB history.

In case you need an ice breaker tomorrow night.

[fred_1_15301]

Agreed.  And keep him on a short leash. I wouldn't even let Morton anywhere near the stadium tomorrow night.

 

[cosjobs]

I think Morton starts, then McCullers, maybe keuchel or Verlander or peacock

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

CC Sabathia wears the largest pants in MLB history.

In case you need an ice breaker tomorrow night.

Terry Forster and Rick Reuschel have to be in the team picture for largest pants.

 

[gump]

Terry Forster and Rick Reuschel have to be in the team picture for largest pants.

CC is the perfect storm of 300 pounds and a pro athlete going baggy.

 

[shadyridr]

There's more of a chance of me pitching than verlander

 

[NREC34]

Guess they've decided on Morton

hate to say it but I like the Yankees chances

 

[NREC34]

Hitters have to show up tonight. 

Man thing that got them this far and they've disappeared for long stretches in this series. 

 

[shadyridr]

Guess they've decided on Morton

hate to say it but I like the Yankees chances

 Me too. I just don't see how Morton and that bullpen will hold the Yankees for 9 innings but I've been wrong before and I don't wanna be overconfident. 

 

[NREC34]

 Me too. I just don't see how Morton and that bullpen will hold the Yankees for 9 innings but I've been wrong before and I don't wanna be overconfident. 

Well hope you guys beat the Dodgers if you take it. 

Ought to be an interesting game tonight. 

Think I'm going to get some pizza for it.

Astros won over 100 this season and JV and DK won about 20 of them.

 

[shadyridr]

Astros won over 100 this season and JV and DK won about 20 of them.

Yeah but they didn't play playoff teams in those other 80 games or face great pitching staffs in those other 80 games. 

 

[cosjobs]

Yeah but they didn't play playoff teams in those other 80 games or face great pitching staffs in those other 80 games. 

Yes they did. And one of them, the Yankees lost 4 out of 6 to them.

 

[shadyridr]

Yes they did. And one of them, the Yankees lost 4 out of 6 to them.

 Ok

 

[dickey moe]

Just watched the post-game show with Papi and the boys. Did anyone else notice the silly drawing Ortiz made with the word s h i T on it?

 

[Smack Tripper]

Bad matchup for the Yankees. Cc turns back into a pumpkin tonight. Don’t like his stuff in this park. Yanks have 3 runs in 3 games here. Robertson is shot and Houston has figured him out so your max allotments are kahnle for 7 outs and Chapman for 6. 

I see a 10-9 type game, Chapman blows it in the 9th and Reddick hits a two run game winning double in the 10th off warren or Tanaka after the yanks took the lead. Great season and Houston is a great team

Nice I like it!

 

[NREC34]

David Ortiz sucks as an analyst.

Horrendous. ARod is great but obnoxious

 

[NREC34]

Good. He throws faster than I thought. 

Couple of foul balls were hit pretty hard. 

 

[NREC34]

Umpire is calling a good game too. 

 

[Txns8]

Three terrible at bats after the lead off single. First pitch outs. Ugh. 

 

[NREC34]

As I was saying they ought to pitch Charlie ?
