    They are hitting a solid
    .200 .281 .359
    There issue is their best players are undisciplined at the plate and are getting exploited by good pitching. They had a great regular season hitting the ball, but they will have trouble beating a team that puts the ball in play.

    i'm liking this lineup a lot - more speed and good to see gattis get some hacks as McCan's job catching our aces is over and his production at the plate has been severely lacking of late. would really love to see gonzo and springer come to life. 2 runs almost certainly won't be enough to win so we need some better results at the plate in NYC.

    I want game three in the worst way. This could be the end for the Yankees. Do it. Really no coming back from 0-3.

    I don't feel good about facing CC.

    Please let's get a 3-0 lead.

    Not with Dallas and Verlander pitching there isn't a shot in heck of that happening.

    2017 Yankees are the 2015 Astros but with a better pen.

    Young talent everywhere with some dead bats, MVP candidate, great offense but huge K numbers and an inability to play contact baseball in the playoffs

    Better hope we retain Altuve... he's going to get seriously paid and I hope the team isn't scared to give it to him because the Yankees or the Red Sox will.

    Anyone think Crane will reup Tuve's contract early?

    He been one of baseball's best bargains for two years now.

    I think the Astros should pay Altuve whatever they think he's worth and then add another 50% to that. Be generous to him. Players like him don't come around very often, and he's been a bargain so far. So pay him for the past years as well as the future years. The guy deserves it.

    I'm glad they moved Yuli up . It is really important that pitchers face altuve and him closer together . Group your hot bats so we can string some hits together .

    I just looked at spotrac and it has Altuve's market value at 8yrs/172mill. And his agent is Boras. Astros are going to have the highest paid middle infield when Correa is due, if they intend to keep Altuve.
