Hard to get excited about this when you hate the Yankees just slightly more than the Astros

Game on

[G-Snarls]

Altuve 0-20

[G-Snarls]

1-2-3 first for Severino

[Stangstag]

Extremely costly error for Valdez… should have been a 3 up 3 down inning

[Jimcanuck]

damn that curve is nasty

[Stangstag]

f*** that 8th inning was an ass-clencher

[Stangstag]

Lefties get away with the absolute worst balks never called against them. That pickoff of Alvarez was horseshit

[Stangstag]

Yankees are f***ed, need to win 4 of 5 now to advance

[HERPDERP]

Yankee fan land and even the players are looking for excuses blaming about wind and exit velocity and other meaningless stuff. no accountability

[Laika]

I expected them to start Cole last night. Hmmm.

Sounds like how some posters on here were looking for excuses for Game 2.

They've struck out 30 times in two games

 

Kinda thinking that's the biggest problem....

[G-Snarls]

Obvious must win for NYY

 

Down 2-0.

At home

Cole on the mound

Pretty sure Boone is toast if they lose this series.

Which is silly

 

Not his fault the Astros are a much better team as currently constructed

 

But that's how it goes sometimes...

[G-Snarls]

Even with their leadoff hitter 0-23 in the post season with 2 walks

[Stangstag]

The whole Cabrera/IKF situation is troubling though. Speaks to a disconnect between the front office and coaches IMO.

There's fans and media that seem to think Dave Roberts should be fired from LA.

what do you mean? what situation?

[Stangstag]

what do you mean? what situation?

 

Trying to fit Cabrera into the lineup in LF, now playing him at SS instead of IKF when IKF has been struggling for months… lots of people saying Cabrera should have had regular play time at SS for the last month or so of the season.

[Stangstag]

I must admit im not too familiar with the situation, but Jomboy and other NY guys have been talking about it. Cabrera has been a disaster in LF in the playoffs

Ohhhh yeah. Super weird to just impulsively change up your SS at this time of the year.

Dodgers are the best constructed team in baseball. One WS and a lot of early exits under his watch

 

Yet at the same time the FO calls a lot of the shots in terms of strategy

 

Hard to know where to look for a scapegoat

[G-Snarls]

Ohhhh yeah. Super weird to just impulsively change up your SS at this time of the year.

 

They let Gleyber Torres f*** it up too long last year

 

And Gary Sanchez the year before

 

They could be seen as too slow to address defensive issues
