    I know A-Rod has been okay. But can't they find any former Astro to come in to do the post game/pre game stuff?

    does it shock you that a thru and thru new yorker would watch the yankees?

    Amazing victory! Our two best hitters have the CLUTCH gene...Astros winning games off of Kimbrel and now Chapman!

    That's why I'm a huge fan of sending the runner home even if the chance is reasonably small because you put the pressure on the opponent to make the throw.

    Man, these are 2 awesome offenses. At some point both teams are gonna start pushing runs across, so to steal 2 low scoring games like this is pivotal.

    And losing this one after Verlander's performance would have been a travesty. I don't really believe in momentum all that much, but that felt like it could have been a back breaker.

    I got the feeling that nothing was stopping Altuve as soon as he saw where that ball was hit. But I think he was expecting it to get to the wall, which it didn't. Still, it's hard not to put your faith in Altuve in a situation like this.

    What a game.

    Judge doesn't seem very smart

    I hope the Rockets in attendance were paying extra close attention. That little guy with the big bat. That guy would not get off that hill. Those guys have the hearts of champions.

    Good choice.

    I wouldn't say everything else is equal. Altuve was veeery fortunate on a bad send. Meanwhile Yankees are getting thrown out OTB every few innings.

    They could have. Umps said that it didn't affect the play at the plate.
