I know that's not Houston's best, but that was nowhere near Tanaka's nor our offense's best either. If we can limit errors (those guys now how to manufacture runs) and get quality starts from Gray and CC, there's no way we're not in this.
Exactly.

Keuchel has something like an insane 80% groundball rate.

This will not be easy tonight. Then again I said that about the Kluber games.

Tanaka has had issues with the homer all year. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that in his final start of the season he struck out 15 in 7 innings. And then in the ALDS vs Cleveland he went another 7 striking out 7. Zero runs allowed in both games.

Some ancient history:
On May 14, Tanaka went 1.2 allowing 8 runs and 4 homers in his only start vs Houston this year.

This game could go either way, to me.
I like Keuchel but this could be a battle of the bullpens tonight.

Keuchel allowed just 3 fly balls all game.
The Yankees are a power hitting team but you can't hit ground balls out of the park.

Managers giving no fukks about having their closers go 2 inn this post season. I'm sure Maddon will be the one to ruin (or come close to it) his closer though.

fans who know baseball understand that shyt talking in threads like this is :russ:and what makes it fun.

but at the end of the day (again, if you know baseball), you better respect your opponent.

Astros fan here.. and don't care if it's the Yankees or a Double A minor league team they playing in the playoffs, you respect them.
