re: DAT 6/23: Astros (Verlander) @ Yankees (Happ) | 1:05 CT

After dropping 3 in a row, the Astros take game 7 to win the series vs the Yankees 4 games to 3.

Sounds familiar.

I'll allow it.

Yankees take 6 of 7 from the Ray's and Astros, not a bad streak that Happ had to ruin

It took Alvarez doing it his way to break this slump.

All they’d have to do is raise one wall or the other, but both lines shouldn’t be like that.

Stassi’s oppo double the other night resulting in an out really exposes just how bad it is

shite like White going oppo and Frazier’s arse in dugout bat throw flick ending up several rows up is illegitimate

Classy, as always

Yankees offense is stacked. We’ll likely be in competition with each other for pitching help for the rest of the year.

I'm just hoping the Severino comes back and looks good and German can continue to grow. If both happen I don't have to worry about seeing Happ in the playoffs.
I don't know what is wrong with him that he has become horrible.

I watched it. I feel your pain. I find it easy to pull against the Dodgers, but there’s little doubt in my mind they will win the NL again

As I posted, the Astros dimensions are not much different than Yankee field. While Houston has the 30ft wall, Yankee Stadium is larger in essentially the gaps. So yeah cheap home runs in the corners but you have to work if you out one anywhere else because it is larger than Minute Maid

MMP is basically the same. These two parks play similarly. Pop-flies down the lines can be HRs, crushed fly balls with strong exit velocity can still die in the gaps.

Unfortunately, I think you are correct.
