AL Wild Card Game: Astros @ Yankees

[Jonn]

don't you think the 'stros have a better shot?

 

I think the Yankees would annihilate the Royals. Astros would win in 6 or 7 games. And I feel we would beat all 3 of them. Texas is probably the toughest matchup for us.

[BTS]

That was a monster bomb from Colby

[Stangstag]

DAT RASMUS BATFLIP

[Sammy225]

Gump with the low pitch.... He loves it.

[Swervin81]

Of course Rasmus kills one.

[Sammy225]

Not to mention a beast bat flip

They're the worst team in the playoffs and their only good starter is left-handed. They're the best matchup for Toronto.

[L54]

I love Colby.

[Captain Adama]

Ugh, that overlayed strike zone on espn broadcast is super annoying... I hope sportsnet never goes down that path and keep it as is.

 

Why? It's great.

[Laika]

Colby so #wet he needs a new jersey

[Jonn]

Chris Carter always gets hot in the second half. He might carry this Astros team. He is pretty terrifying when hes making contact.

[Orgfiller]

Why? It's great.

 

This. I don't understand the hate, you get to see where the pitch landed in the zone as soon as it crosses the plate. Much easier to criticize the umpire.

Texas is the best matchup. The Yankees and Astros are better than Texas.

ITT: people who never watch baseball outside the Blue Jays get outed.

[CJ-Freeway]

Why isn't Ellsbury in the lineup?

I think that Texas series is going 5 games and all of them will be close. Could go either way. That series will come down to how well David Price pitches.

[Laika]

Why isn't Ellsbury in the lineup?

 

Garbage since he came back + Chris Young destroys lefties. Had to do it.

[havok24]

Excellent approach at the plate by the Astros this inning.

Texas is the best matchup. The Yankees and Astros are better than Texas.

 

to me, the key is the bottom of our line-up. Guys like Pillar, Goins - if they have good ABs, get on base, i'm comfortable with anybody. i just don't know how many HRs we can count on... if we hit a bunch, than it'll be over for us early...

[Rajais Mitten]

Oh man and the bases are juiced

[jaysfan2014]

Boy, Tanaka is not sharp.. and a HR here pretty much could put the Astros on a plane to Kansas City, considering the Yanks are having trouble scoring.

[dineke]

i never watch espn but john kyruck sucks

[Frenchsoup]

Altuve is such a hacker

[43211234]

I guess Tanaka should've had tjs.

[CJ-Freeway]

Garbage since he came back + Chris Young destroys lefties. Had to do it.

 

Oh ok thanks

[43211234]

I guess Japanese pitchers just can't pitch in the post season.

[art_vandelay275]

Texas is the best matchup. The Yankees and Astros are better than Texas.

 

someone was saying that one of those Root/Jays jacket costs $600 and even though he could buy one, he wouldn't because he is not an idiot.

 

So are you an idiot for paying over 2 grand for those front row seats?

[baubau]

Oh ok thanks

 

You're welcome!

[Governator]

It's hard not to love a Rasmus homer. Some of the nicest looking bombs in the game from a lefty.

To me the box calls too much attention to itself and takes away from taking in the whole pitcher/batter experience. Like sportsnet's solution better where it's in a separate box so I can see it after the pitch hits the glove if I'm curious about it (plus it tracks all the previous pitches).
