That is fucking gorgeous.

After James had to strike out Sanchez twice, I started recording the game said fuck it and went to bed.  I probably would have stayed up if I knew the game was 2 minutes from ending.

I’m far from Correa’s biggest fan. His almost random pattern of injury is maddening to me. But when he’s healthy and on his game, few others can impact the outcome in as many ways as he can. Hope he can finish the year strong and actually play a full season next year.

Astros have yet to lose a game when I have been in attendance wearing the trucker hat

I am not saying that is the reason, but that is the reason 

Agreed on Correa’s injuries. But he can be a beast everywhere. Thankful he is young and can recover from injuries quickly. Trust me recovery time sucks as you get older.

Official GoFundMe to get Scraps to Yankee Stadium for games 3-5? 

His road record is less than ideal.  I should definitely never be allowed in Minute Maid for playoff game again.  My liver agrees.  That Blanton's though.

Please avoid game 3 at a minimum

Don't worry I'm not going to any of them and it still won't matter cause we aren't winning all 3

I had a 22-6 record this year with my 28-game season package. (And 3 of those losses I wasnt there..had given my tickets to a friends.)

1-0 in ALDS and 1-0 in ALCS, both happened to be JV games.

If we win game 3. My friend and I may go to game 4. My friend (his sister inlaw) from
Htown lives there and going to the game w her Yank husband.

Let’s go!!!!

Not with that attitude, we won't! 

Just have to win Game 3 though.

I fell asleep due to a case of the olds and a broken foot which inhibits sleeping well. I am more than happy to sleep through most of the ALCS if it will help the bullpen and bats. Will keep the nightly Jobu rum offerings going.

On a Monday morning I might bang me some Maze?

To judge by playoff media coverage, we'd never score a run without stealing signs or having the opposing pitcher tip his pitches.

Well, we’ve scored 22 runs total in 7 games....and presumed 6 of those (27%) were in innings we knew what was coming.

So we’ve scored a whopping 16 runs in the other 63 innings we’ve played this postseason. That’s averages out to 2.3 runs per game.

I’m giving the playoff media coverage a pass on this one until proven otherwise

The only media coverage im worried about is Julia looking hot 

Well I've read in two articles this morning that Paxton may have been pulled because he was tipping his pitches...when the broadcast last night showed the changes he made versus earlier in the year to not tip his pitches.  

They hit the ball hard last night, just a lot of bad luck with liners right at someone.  It makes me feel better about them coming out of the funk.

I still can't believe that Correa flyout to CF wasn't a home run.  That thing sounded 450 ft off the bat.

Brantley did not hit the ball hard. Him and Yordan need to slide down the order 

Springer, Bregman and Correa all did though.  Yuli had some good swings too.  Yordan is not making good contact.  He's fouling off or flat out missing pitches he was crushing a couple of months ago.

his voice always reminds me of the play-by-play guy from the natural, especially in his 4 homer game in wrigley field.

Team shep has yet to attend a Astros playoff loss.

70% chance of rain Wednesday night in NYC. Bring it on. The more rest for JV and GC, the better.

I like Ford, but not a fan of his his "see ya later" line. That call sounded like something I'd play to get coyotes in shooting range.
the raw crowd noise clips are the ones i like the best, holy shit what an eruption 


It was insane. The stadium had been waiting for that after leaving 10 on base.

I heard a radio host saying that Fox was late getting back from the commercial before Correa’s bomb. He thought it was a past highlight at first.

The fox coverage has left a lot to be desired.

Ha
I almost thought the same
They got back from break almost mid delivery.
I had a conflict during most of the game (don’t ask) and was in catch-up mode. Fast forwarded through the mid-11 commercial break and pressed play just before the end of the break...wasn’t quite sure what I was watching was real life...

I’m still not.

they were back to the game, just barely. Buck was talking about Sanchez arguing his strikeout as the pitch was thrown.

the coverage overall has not been good. ARod is a fucking idiot, and joe buck is annoying AF. Saw some tweets from yankee fans bitching about biased coverage so i guess this crew has the ability to make every fan think you are favoring the opposite team   

 

  

Edited by Dennis Taylor

Before y’all suck each other off, yankees did exactly what they had to do - they split the first two games and flipped home field to their advantage. They damn near won both games.

5 game series now and every win will be hard fought. 

I got the MLB At Bat notification of Carlos' homerun while the broadcast was still in commercial. The broadcast on Direct TV came on right when Carlos swung the bat. It was the oddest of moments. 

Rain will definitely happen on Wednesday in NYC so I'm assuming the entire series gets shifted back a day. If that happens do we adjust our SP rotation?

Was looking at this too

If no game Wed, you could get away with not throwing Urquidy until game 6 and still keep everyone on full rest.

You absolutely do this.

 

Game 1 Greinke

Game 2 JV

Game 3 Cole

Game 4 Greinke

Game 5 JV

Game 6 Urquidy/et al

Game 7 Cole

 

Good luck, NYY

 

(While I’m very much intrigued /excited by an Urquidy start and think he’s going to give you all you could ask, I think I’d rather have it at home in game 6 vs in primetime in Yankee Stadium in game 4...especially if the unthinkable happens and Stros don’t take game 3)

You heard it here first. That Game 4 Greinke start is going to be a gem. His stuff is electric in cooler weather.

Depends on your video/audio source. A couple of options:

Easiest is if you have an MLB.TV subscription. (If you don’t already have, they have a postseason package--that also includes 2020 Spring training, FWIW--for $25). Start the game. Click the asterisk/star button if you have Roku (I forget the AppleTV button, but it’s similar) to access the audio overlay option, change to radio feed. However, now that I think about it, I believe the only radio feed they are offering in the postseason is the home team.

So my plan the next three games will be the following:

Open the MLB At Bat app on my phone ($2.99/ month). (there may be other streaming audio options, not sure). Turn on the Ford/Sparks audio option. Broadcast over Bluetooth to living room speakers. Turn on game. Wait for pop of the mitt after a pitch on the audio broadcast. Pause audio broadcast. Wait to see same pop of the mitt on the TV and unpause audio at that moment (or vice versa).

Old school: for FOX broadcasts, use TV antenna and turn on radio to local Astros affiliate. Over the air, the TV and radio broadcasts are usually mostly in sync.
