The other thread got anchored, so.....

@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.

If we play as tight as we did in the past three games , we have no chance...
Lighten up , have fun, its baseball !

This. Verlander needs to shift the momentum himself back to the Astros by shutting them down, but still have to score some runs. You can't ask the guy to go 124 pitches and 9 innings of 1-run ball again. It's not impossible, but it's improbable.
Someone on the offense has to step up, preferably one of the guys scuffling, but maybe Yuli can get one to the seats and get the crowd into it.

It's time to make Yankee stadium sound like a preschool, and make Minute Maid as loud as it can get. Blow the roof off the MFer! You've got homefield, USE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A little light in the darkness...
What's Wrong With Houston's Offense?
Hopefully they start falling, but man this shite is frustrating to watch
Especially AJ's "Well we made adjustments, we're just not sticking to them"
Well yeah, we keep trying to hit a HR that will win the series every swing
What's Wrong With Houston's Offense?
quote:
While no one like to use the term “bad luck” for a struggling offense since it feels like an excuse, the reality is that Astros hitters aren’t struggling as much as their offensive numbers would have you believe. Unfortunately for them, they just haven’t gotten anything out of the balls they’ve hit well yet.
quote:
No, that’s not a copy-and-paste error in the results column. The Astros have hit six barreled balls in this series, and all six of them have been caught in deep center field by Aaron Hicks.
quote:
In the ALDS, the Astros hit 10 balls classified as barrels. On those 10 batted balls, they went 10 for 10 with a single, two doubles, and seven home runs. In the ALDS, their wOBA on barreled balls was 1.740; in the ALCS, it’s .000.

What about Jabroni?
Posted on 10/19/17 at 9:57 am to TTownTiger
That's honestly who I think they throw game 7 if it happens
Posted on 10/19/17 at 9:59 am to ShaneTheLegLechler
If, and it's a big IF, we go to game 7, all hands will be on deck.

Yeah I Jabroni may start with all hands on deck, minus Dallas and Verlander.

I could see Keuchel even giving an inning
Posted on 10/19/17 at 10:40 am to High C
Hey, on the bright side, the home team hasn't lost a game this series.
At least Houston has that going for them...

I think it's Morton/McHugh/LMJ/Giles if it gets to game 7. Maybe even Keuchel or Peacock for an inning or two.
How long they go with Morton will probably depend entirely on how the offense does. He just got straight up unlucky in game 3 with the bloops, dribblers, freak HR, Maybin forgetting how to play defense... he didn't pitch bad at all.

I still have no idea what happened on that play. Just like I have no idea why Altuve was where he was on the Headley tag play.
