[Official] Astros @ Yankees

Not even close.

 

This series reminds me of the 6 pitcher no hitter at Yankee Stadium. We may have lost 2 of 3 in that series but getting that no no was well worth it.

 

Is that someone wearing a Rice jersey in the background...? Rice really should have fought to keep ownership of Yankee Stadium...

 

Not a baseball coach in any sense... but I've been thinking what's the correct play here.

• Infield on a shift to the right
• Ball hit up the middle and fielded by the SS.
• Since on a shift, 3B covers 2.

You would think, as soon as 3B goes to cover 2, someone needs to hurry and cover 3. Who should that be? Pitcher? Catcher?

Pressly is looking at Correa, waiting for him to throw the ball to him. Maybe he's thinking Maldonado is already covering 3?

I'm thinking 3 is Pressly's responsibility on that play, but he tried to make a play on the ball. Even if after he failed to field the ball, he immediately ran to cover 3, he would have been too late.

So I'm assuming Pressly is thinking, "give him 3", not knowing that Maldy left home.

 

My general comments:
- Altuve still my favorite Astro
- NYC is an amazing city
- Amazingly, NYY fans are the toilet of MLB
- I hate the Yankees, mostly because of their trash fanbase

 

Well, at least we won one game. Lol. Good win though, seriously. Wish we could have shut them up a little better in their own stadium, but we had won 3 straight series until this one.

 

This could be a springboard game. Similar to the Springer game in Arlington a few years back.

 

these are all correct takes. Personally, I would amend two:
- NYC is an amazing city [, but dirty and nowhere near as unique as its residents believe it is]
- I hate the Yankees, mostly b/c of their trash fanbase [and the media’s relentless bias]

 

Yes they should have. Maybe the coolest, most unknown piece of Houston sports trivia out there.

 

For sure, Altuve is a straight up class act and handled that homer much better than I would have. I would've been Carl Everett pointing and crotch grabbing all the way around the bases.

What's extra sweet is the pitch itself that Altuve took yard, right up at eye level. It just further shows Altuve is a super elite hitter and does not need to know signs or pitches. Vindication.

 

Right, he’s way classier than I would have been.

I told my wife I might get in some trouble when Yanks come to town. I plan on being absolutely petty as **** along the 3rd base line.

 

I would have done the don't rip my jersey off thing but proceed to rip it off myself. Maybe have a 2017 World Series championship shirt underneath. Proceed to blow kisses to the crowd. Go to the dugout but come back out and tip my hat.

 

I think it was Blummer that mentioned on the broadcast... "I think any other player would have come out for a curtain call." Could definitely see Bregman doing that.

 

So before the series Correa is popping off about the Yankees pitching being "soft". Ok great...sounds good...like hearing him talk some smack but than he proceeds to go 0 for 12 with an rbi.

Alright than.

 

Gotta look at the sources now a days man, think that was a satire piece.

 

you actually thought that was real quotes lmao. people really do fall for anything

 

My friend mentioned it to me and he's pretty reliable. Guess this one got by him and I definitely feel the need to confirm the quote. Thanks for letting me know.

 

Honest mistake as I believed what my good friend said. That said, as always, you're still a PR%^K!!
