[Official] Yankees @ Astros

Real torture begins in the playoffs with a small lead

 

Just saw the strike 3 call lol. Watching it seemed like an obvious ball but on the pitch tracker thing, it has the ball slightly in the zone. Probably should have been a ball lol.

 

- Alexander, quality start due to great offense
- Yordan, 4 hits - he looks set to explode
- Pena HR, go-ahead RBI single
- Abreu, smh
- No new injuries

 

"Baseball is 90 percent mental, and the other half is physical" - Yogi Berra

Although, truthfully, I thought the quote was
50% of the game is half mental.

 

This team held together by duct tape, bandaids, paper clips, you name it.

 

That game literally was not over until it was over.

 

I hope Hader makes it back before playoffs

 

Win is a win. We have been struggling for last 35+ games, but we are still leading Mariners by 4 games and Rangers by 6 games in the loss column with 22 games to go. Of the 22 games, 6 games are with Rangers (3 home 3 away) and 3 games are with Mariners (all at home). We are still in the driver's seat.

 

On MLB it may just be touching the line. It’s hard to tell.

I don’t know how the ump was calling that through the game, but it was close enough you gotta swing.

 

Any news on Hader he has been out for more than the original 2 weeks.

And yet I'm not sure if we've lost a game all year in which we had a lead after 8.

The nature of the last 3 outs, I suppose.

 

The Astros are 14 games over .500 with a 16 run differential - we don't score nearly enough.....

Jazz was never getting that call after all the **** the Yankees gave the umps leading up to that moment. I don’t think there’s ever a benefit of snapping on umpires honestly - they have fragile egos

 

D U B mofos… W

Who cashed out on the game in the 4th inning again?

 

Still has not resumed throwing. Not throwing for 3 weeks, so should be reassessed in the coming days, since the 3 week mark is coming up.

 

And once in awhile, grit...

Magic numbers are 19 (M's) and 17 (Rangers) with 22 games remaining.

 

Mlb app showed it was just off the plate, and it was a slider so it was further outside the plate halfway to home plate, the ump normally won't give you a breaking pitch that is trying to come back to the outside corner and finishes on the black.

Bless you ump. You swarmy summamabitch.

 

Thought he'd be re-evaluated after 3 weeks.

 

It was going to be a 3 week shutdown and then reevaluate. This weekend will be 3 weeks.

 

Mlb app tracks an "expected W/L" record and ours is 5 games below where we currently are (72-68). So basically we should barely be above .500.
