Bronx bombing over Correa: Yankees vs Astros ALCS Thread

[obarth]

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.

Astros aint the indians.

And the Yankees aren't the Tigers. So don't think that this will be a cake walk

Exactly.

Pluckers wings, booze and an Astros W.

Not a bad way to start TX/OU weekend

Wasn't a bad loss for the Yanks


They need to win game 2 tho

 

[holidayinn21]

No moral victories, but I'm not discouraged about this loss.

It wasn't like we were dominated, they just executed a little better than we did.

Astros fans are gloating just like Indians fans did after Bauer killed the Yanks in Game 1 of the ALDS .

Is it really shocking that fans are happy that their team won?

You can't play semantics there. Whose to say Bird hits that HR with a runner on and what not.

It just home run felt underwhelming
Like too little too late type shyt

Never too late to show that Giles was throwing BP trash out there. He didn't deserve to get away with that nonsense. Even if we didn't get the result we wanted.

Being happy and gloating are 2 different things.

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.

 

[Doctor Wily]

These Houston fans are cocky as fukk.

Props to y'all but this series is going to expose alot of bandwagon Astros fans.

This is extremely hilarious coming from a Yankees fan lmao

Also, a lot folks here aren't fans of the Astros...they just hate the Yankees lol

 

[LastManStanding]

fans who know baseball understand that shyt talking in threads like this is 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.
