Bronx bombing over Correa: Yankees vs Astros ALCS Thread
- Thread starter holidayinn21
- Start date
I don't understand why the Astros are starting Morton over McCullers.
Yes, the entire staff (sans Verlander) will be available tonight, but this just doesn't make much sense.
There was a good stretch during the season where McCullers was Houston's best pitcher.
The only thing I can think is that Morton held lefties to a .172 batting average this year. Or that McCullers may not be 100% healthy.
But McCullers induces far more ground balls than Morton and he misses more bats.
In any case look for the Astros to throw a shyt ton of curveballs tonight, particularly away.
As for Sabathia, he's had great success lately with his slider, but I think Houston's RHHs will be looking to turn on it quite a bit...particularly with that joke of a left field fence (what is it? 310 feet or some shyt?)
Sabathia might consider tossing in a few more change ups tonight in lieu of his sinker.

Y'all NY brehs scared?
Not scared just unsure
Unsure how exactly CC will pitch
Not sure how the team will bat away from home
Not sure how Morton will do also
Nothing against Houston but I want that Yanks/Dodgers series badly
Looking back, if there's one thing I think Severino needs to add to his game it's the brush back.
I don't think I saw him throw a little chin music to anybody last night (or really, all season). And I certainly would have thought he'd do it to Correa and Altuve.
When you're a 3 pitch guy (FB/SL/CH) you need to establish a little fear because there's not a lot of tricks in the bag. And Severino's slider doesn't have much sweep. There's very little right-to-left movement on it. It's closer to a splitter the way it drops down so if you're not getting that lateral movement...then the way to create it is to get players to fear being hit.
