ARod has a nude photo of Aaron Judge on his bedroom ceiling .If you listen to him slobber over the Yankees you think they are all .350 hitters and gold glove winners.

Am really disappointed in our #8, #9 hitters Pretty much have been automatic outs. Very please with the bullpen tonight. Didn't know they had it in them. |

I couldn't take it and went to bed in the 10th inning. Good thing the Astros didn't do the same.

Game 3 is A MUST if we are to win this series. Not necessarily. Today was the must win. All we have to do is win at least 1 in NY to have a shot and bring it back into JV and Cole's hands at home. Yes, but our best chance of winning in NY is with Cole. Game 4 is Urquidy and then game 5 is Greinke. Not sure how I feel about Greinke in NY. |

I am hoping for a rainout on Game 4...there looks to be a ton of rain come to NY on Wednesday |

What's the closest retractable roof stadium to NYC? Toronto? |

Now do you guys agree with me when I say move both Yuli and Correa up and Alvy down to 7th? Yes I do. When Alvarez was first brought up one thing that really impressed me was that he had exceptional plate discipline. He seldom swung at a pitch outside the strike zone and seldom took a good pitch to hit that was in the zone. Now he seems to swing at everything. I wouldn’t be opposed to having him sit out a game to maybe get his head cleared and rethink his approach at the plate. |

Alvy at 7th....Tucker or Straw 9th...Diaz and Reddick bench bats....Marisnick PR or Defensive replacement for Brantley. |

I think we will see Reddick in the starting lineup vs Severino. Reddick is 5-11 with 3 doubles, a walk and only 2 strikeouts against Severino in his career. |

It's easy to criticize Yordan's post-season production, but I think it's unfair to do so while ignoring the fact that the entire offense scored 3 runs total in 2 games. It ain't just the rookie who looks like Corch up there batting.

While our offense is cold we are tied at 1. Let's go Stros. Now is the time to wake up!

It ain't just the rookie who looks like Corch up there batting. There were only 6 Astros who have a hit of any kind during the ALCS so far. Notably, Kyle Tucker is among those who have a hit. linkYordan was one of the consistent hitters in the Division series, so he has that going for him. link |

Astros batting average through first 7 playoff games- .218
This better turn around quickly.

Media is bammering Stanton for not playing.Sounds like he is as fragile as Correa has been.

It ain't just the rookie who looks like Corch up there batting. I don't doubt Alvy getting a hit here and there but he's prone to striking out more than putting the ball in play.
I want Yuli behind Bregman so the Yanks will think twice about walking him. Then move Correa up (keeping him behind Yuli) to take advantage of his bat and make him feel like he's not on the end of the team. Alvy in the 7th might see more balls because Chirinos, Tucker or Reddick would be up next.

Strikeouts are far less important than most fans think they are. As far as "striking out more than putting the ball in play", Correa has the same number of strikeouts (12) in the postseason, as Alvarez.

I understand what you are trying to say but Strikeouts can be a rally killer.
Imagine having only 1 out in the inning and the straight batters get on base at 1st and 2nd. If the next batter moves them over a base then the moral is still there that you are doing something with each AB. Once a strikeout happens, however, it deflates the rally.
A guy at the plate seeing a runner at 3rd base could be huge not only for him but put extra pressure on the pitcher. A strikeout also gives the pitcher a better feeling going into that next hitter.
Yuli does not K that often and the other playoff teams feel they would rather take their chances striking Alvy out than to pitch to Bregman. If Yuli was batting behind Bregman then both would get pitches to hit.
