[Official] Astros @ Yankees

Nova thinking to himself "It's just the Astros. I can bowl the rest of the game and end up with 8 Ks"

 

I get to watch this game on the MLB channel. It's great hearing the announcers including Bob Costas, who I love and respect his baseball knowledge along with the top of the field make excuses for Sabathia.

 

Not much doing in the 2nd.

Let's hope it stays that way for the Yankees in the bottom.

 

Ya think Jed is as good a fielder?

 

Looks like Gomez might be snapping out of it...

 

Gomez is starting to come around.

 

Good to see this start by the offense. I hope it causes them to relax and not press so much.

 

Getting some good hits all around. Very encouraging

 

From what I've seen his glove is pretty comparable. He doesn't seem to make plays coming in as fluidly as Valbuena, and his arm makes the throw on plays to his right difficult.

They employ the shift so much though that he's practically playing SS a bunch of the time anyway.

 

That would be huge, and he's too good to not get hot soon. Good Gomez + Healthy Springer + Rasmus/Marisnick/Tucker is a heck of an OF.

 

I think Valbuena can handle the hot shots better and has the better arm which leads to the question, why can't Jed play first?

 

Keuchel mowin em down.

 

What happened to the arrogant Young that came to MMP and tore it up lol

 

Need much more of this from Tuves.

 

Man Angels have already blown an 0-4 lead to start the game

 

Lol Marwin looks pretty lost out in left

 

GB machine

 

Yeah, we talked about that here when Lowrie came off the DL. I was hoping that some member of the crackerjack Houston media might ask Luhnow or Hinch about it but I don't remember hearing anything.

Yankees broadcasters just said that Eovaldi's fastball yesterday *averaged* just over 99mph. 1st 24 starts it was 97ish.

Lol at Beltran jogging his way out of a triple.

 

Marwin's hop at the wall was pretty amusing.

 

With a 5 run lead how long do you sacrifice defense in left? Jake probably makes that catch.
