So Dire Wolf tomorrow and in the event of another loss, I’d say we give it back to you (Jwho)?

A 3 man DAT rotation

Hinch foolishly ranks LMJ ahead of Jabroni right now.

But both his eyes and his analytics have shown him for the past two months that he is wrong.

In this series the Astros are averaging 4.47 hits and 0.67 runs per game. That's pitiful.

If things don't change and change quickly tomorrow afternoon then they may have a real problem on their hands and in for some heartbreak. Keuchel and Verlander can't be flawless all the time.

The only logic I see is that you haven't seen broni in a playoff pen situation but does down 8-0 even count as a pressure playoff situation?


One thing I'll say is that LMJ low curve would be getting boned by this ump. Gives a mile on the edges but has to be at the dick for it to be called

First two games were well pitched by Tanaka and severino. This game was a fluky mess...Astros have hit the ball a lot harder than the Yankees but it's right at people or to the warning track. That luck will swing the other way and we will be back to scoring 7-9.

In all honesty, we gotta find a way to scratch a win across in the Bronx.

I’ll take a 3-2 lead coming home with Verlander going for the series W

Also, my senses indicated tonight was not very winnable, so I didn’t wear my lucky socks. I’m 5-0 in them this postseason and still haven’t washed them.

In a little bit of a predicament though. My senses also indicate we win 1 of the next 2 and close it out in Houston. So if I wear them tomorrow, I’m going against Keuchel in the stadium he owns on Wednesday. I’d feel pretty guilty not wearing them on back to back games though..:

I still can’t get over maybin’s effort on that 4th inning leadoff double. I know we haven’t scored, but to me that was the key play that led to the big inning to put it out of reach. I really hope AJ doesn’t start him again in the outfield. He just cannot play balls hit in front of him. He strictly needs to be a late inning pinch runner and nothing else.

Don't wear then tomorrow, it'll ruin your record. Wear them Wednesday and Friday.

Confession time... I didn't wear mine tonight either.

You wear yours tomorrow... I'll cover Keuchel.

I agree on Maybin.

Pinch runner or late pinch hit b/c he has some pop, but defensively, he's no help

Thats kinda what I was leaning towards

Im real worried that if our bats are cold again tomorrow then we will just begin to press and make things work. I’m assuming we go back to McCann and Beltran

The good news is that Houston won the first two games. In a 2/3/2 series that's huge.

Going 1-2 in New York would be a success.

11-run inning coming up. Gonna make the Minnesota comeback look like a garden variety win.

I'm good with this line of positive thinking.

Fisher should have let that first pitch hit him.

8-0 you would expect to see a team dominated. Hits stand 7-3 w a shift bunt, a swinging bunt, a flare, topped off w a one handed arse flying to the dugout to spoil a pitch I can't hit oppo HR over a girls softball RF wall.

I'm sure tmrw will be an uptight, close ballgame, hopefully with less ridiculousness

At this point there’s no way the Yankees can even put Betances on the WS roster if they’d win this series. He has absolutely lost it.
