    I can't believe we didn't score. I'm switching to the rockets now.

    I like our aggressive approach...better than waiting until later in the count hitting pitcher's pitches

    We can't with Correa. We've been frustrated with him taking that first pitch every time, he tried to jump on it this time.

    Pitch count really isn't an issue IMO with CC. It's not like we're itching to get to their bullpen. If you see something good, go for it.

    I don't mind the aggressive approach early. They were swinging at strikes, so it's not as if they came off as overly jumpy. Plus, with the Yankees bullpen being what it is, it's not as if the goal should simply be to work the count to try to push Sabathia from the game.

    Springer was patient at the plate and got a hit. The next three batters weren't and all grounded out.

    This is the Yankees team from the regular season, more or less, playing an Astros team that does not resemble their regular season team. Just wish we could somehow find our true selves. Haven't been able to find it yet this series.

    Why does Joe Buck love Greg Bird so much? Thanks for flying out on the first pitch.
