But Aaron Judge!!!!!!!!!!!


And even "hardcore" Yankees fans don't recognize him when they're talking to him.

Aaron Judge sat down in the middle of New York City to talk about baseball with random people.

This was the Astros first ever postseason series sweep.

I saw the Astros get swept in ‘97 (I was at Game 3) against the Braves.

I watched on AFN in Kosovo the Astros get swept in ‘01 by the Braves.

I saw the Astros get swept in ‘05 by the White Sox (I was at Game 4).

Great to be on the other end of a sweep for the first time.

Go Stros!!!

So where in the Hell is the Yankees vs Red Sox and how it relates to the ALCS discussion taking place?

I guess the frequent DAT Yankee posters are busy licking some pretty deep wounds after last night.

Personally, I'm hoping for a Yankee win tonight, maybe with 10 extra innings.

That crowd was borderline insane last night, until the Red Sox promptly inserted their penis early and often.

Absolutely.

I'm sure most DATers would prefer to see the Yankees, because it would mean home field advantage, and Sat/Sun potential home games the next two weekends rather than mid-week home games that will probably be early starts on Tue/Wed because the Brewers @ Dodgers will get prime time.

I honestly don’t have a big preference between teams. Both have weaknesses, though I think NY maybe has a few more, and we are better than both if we play how we should. More than anything I want it to go 5 and Boston to have to use Sale in case they win

I think we all agree that it should go to 5 but i want to play the sox. I feel much better winnings at Fenway with our line up of righties vs Yankee stadiums deeper left field.

Plus verlander/cole could go 2-0 on the road if we don’t frick around

Hardwn gave up baseball, he could have been great, to focus on continuing to build on the winning culture in Houston.

Stopped by our Mecca this morning on the way out of town. Plenty of Astros fans inside.

Do we know the times for the games? Someone is saying it has been announced. I know we don’t know where yet.

Odd didn't see the times on MLB.com, nevermind under schedule they didn't have times, under postseason it does

You guys may like this Fangraphs post.

The Astros Gave the Indians An All-Time Beating


quote:

No series before had ever seen such a big difference in team OBP. No series before had ever seen such a big difference in team slugging. And so, no series before had ever seen such a big difference in team OPS. The difference between the Astros’ OPS and the Indians’ OPS was greater than the Indians’ OPS by 201 points. The gap between first and second here is 186 points.
