@brianmctaggart Astros talked about how loud it was at Yankee Stadium: "New York is no joke," Keuchel said. "This is a wild place to play," Springer said. quote: Correa: "It was crazy. I never heard anything as loud as it was yesterday when Gary hit that double. Loudest I've ever been part of."


This is simply an admission that the stage was too big for them. I admire them for at least being honest, but it's obviously something that they have to adjust to and move past. This team will never be successful if they can't play their game with an intimidating crowd on them.

Like Shane said, they're playing super tight and pressing. It's affecting their AB's. A new approach is needed by most. The Yankees are attacking most of our hitters early in the count with hittable pitches to get ahead. Make the adjustment. Stop trying to pull outer half pitches and rolling over on weak ground balls. Drive the ball the other way. Make the adjustment. The thing is, these aren't even difficult things to correct.

If I am Hinch or Beltran or McCann, I am writing on a billboard and shouting from the mountain that if they hold serve, their goals are still in reach. Freaking hold serve and we are in the W.S.

Loud crowds should not affect their at bats....it should fuel them. But this team is soft in that respect. We will see how soft they are tomorrow. I hope they can do what needs to be done, otherwise it will be a bitter way to end a very fun season.

It's frustrating that they let the crowd play such a role, but it does make me feel better about games 6 and 7. Come home and we can definitely win 2 in a row. Verlander needs to come out and dominate then its game 7. I don't care if Fiers takes the hill, anything can happen in game 7.
