[astrojo]

[HudsonHawk]

Astros now 1 for 12 w/RISP for the series.

[MRaup]

Already w the LOBs

Should've moved Correa up in the lineup so it only would've been 2 instead of 3.

Swung right through a thigh high fastball for strike 2.

[HudsonHawk]

Had a chance to knock Severino out in the first and take command

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Bad news is they left three on, the good news is Severino threw a lot of pitches and they scored a run..

[HudsonHawk]

Yankees now with the bases loaded, two out...

[HudsonHawk]

B1:

LeMahieu singles up the middle...ground ball hit the 2B bag
Judge chops a tailor-made double play ball to 2B on the first pitch...nobody there...shiftfuck single...LeMahieu to 2B
Gardner flies out F8
Encarnacion pops up on the infield on the first pitch...IFF rule invoked...Altuve puts it away for the F4
Torres...3-0 as Maldonado is crossed up...walks, LeMahieu to 3B, Judge to 2B

Now thrown at least 8 more pitches after having Hicks 0-2...

[HudsonHawk]

Can't put the 9 hitter away, now another seeing eye single brings Judge to the plate with two on...

Twice LeMahieu goes right back up the middle. Judge up w 2 on

According to Hinch is was because he wanted to move Yuli up which meant breaking up the RH hitters by moving Brantley back down a spot. 

[astrojo]

Good spot for Cole’s first K of the game. Let’s get more runs, please!

He had Hicks struck out on the 1-2 pitch...not sure what HPU was watching.

Severino getting corners and up.

[HudsonHawk]

T3:

Bregman...takes strike one...takes strike two...grounds out 6-3
Gurriel grounds out 6-3
Alvarez takes strike one pops out to shallow LF

Quick 6-pitch inning for Severino...Astros lead 2-0

[subnuclear]

Gameday says HPU sucks.

The two strikes on Bregman were shown outside, but it showed Cole was being called correctly. I don't really know what Gameday is based on.

[HudsonHawk]

All strikes by Severino that inning.  I think all fastballs too.

[MRaup]

Welp, that was a great half inning.

Fuck guys.

[HudsonHawk]

The two strikes on Bregman were shown outside, but it showed Cole was being called correctly. I don't really know what Gameday is based on.

First was up...second was out, but they both looked like strikes live.

Torres...full count...fouling off pitches...strikes out swinging

3 times in 3 innings I've had to refresh my feed to get the game playing again. I've missed at least 3 pitches each inning.

[JimR]

Correa? That why moving him up was crazy.

Sanchez's "framing" still kills me.

I think the commentator is right.  Gardner didn't read that ball well at all.

apparently it was too high.

Maybe the President is trying to sneak some Fox tweets onto the broadcast. That would explain the frequency of glitches.

[BudGirl]

now would be a good time for springer to get a hit.

[geezerdonk]

That's a major league outfielder in his home ball park?

[HudsonHawk]

T4:

Correa...takes strike one..imagine that...foul...1-2...foul...takes a fastball for strike three
Reddick pops out F6
Maldonado...works the count full...cant' get his bat out of the way on ball four up and in as it's fouled off the HPU...trainers out to check on him...still full up...flies high to LF...Gardner runs around like a monkey trying to fuck a football...it drops over his shoulder for a double
Springer...quickly 0-2 as he's late on fastballs...1-2...2-2...3-2...strikes out swinging

2-0 Astros

[MRaup]

now would be a good time for springer to get a hit.

Too bad he only got 3 incredibly hittable fastballs.

[BudGirl]

I hate when he ends up on his knees after swinging.  I blame that on Carlos Gomez.

[HudsonHawk]

now would be a good time for springer to get a hit.

He's looked pretty awful this entire series.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Springer was way out in front of that 89 MPH change-up after for the K.

Springer was way out in front of that 89 MPH change-up.

Sitting FB. No blame there. Great pitch.

it'll be interesting if severino come out.  radio guys were saying earlier he hasn't thrown more than 83 pitches this year.

LeMahieu...0-2...flies out to medium CF...crowd goes nuts

Jesus Christ, I didn't realize we were playing in Wrigley. That crowd pop off the bat made it sound like a 500 foot blast, not a pop fly that was 5 feet short of the track.

He's not a good backstop.  He's sloppy with the glove, doesn't receive well, doesn't throw well, can't block pitches, and fields his position poorly.  Other than that, he's aces.

[BudGirl]

that was a nice inning.

[Ty in Tampa]

More runs, plz.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Cole seems to have settled in a bit.

[Nate in IA]

Harris to Osuna?

[Texifornia]

Cole at 112 pitches.

I would guess Harris in the 8th, although Cole still had plenty of velo.

[Tom Servo]

that was a nice inning.

Yeah, they actually didn't give up at least one run after scoring a couple.

Smith was warming last inning

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

If you weren't worried about pitch count there would be no reason to remove Cole. 

[Nate in IA]

I like this FS1 broadcast.  I can barely hear Buck.

[BudGirl]

smith coming in

[HudsonHawk]

T8:

Cessa in for the Yankees

Correa...works the count full...strikes out swinging at ball four in the dirt
Reddick...full count...strikes out swinging at ball four in the dirt a foot off the plate
Maldonado strikes out swinging at a ball in the dirt off the plate

Well that was a fucking pathetic inning

Astros lead 4-0

[homer]

I was able to sync up the TiVo with the radio stream Sunday but I am somewhere else today and the DTV DVR is a pile of shit. So we are listening to the stream about 1 sec delayed.

[Tom Servo]

He's out

Yuli obviously tagged him on his dome piece.

Having to Gameday...are they reviewing it?

[BudGirl]

I didn't think they were going to call him out.

Good play by yuli.

yes it was reviewed and you can tell already it was out.

Another delay as Yankee fans throwing crap on to the field

[WVastro]

I fully expected that replay to go the wrong way.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Stay classy Yankee fans.

if astros fans ever do that I'll be pissed and looking to kick their ass.

Did y'all know that Torres is a young player? I forget what his actual age is but it's amazing how young he is

Harris was and he’s coming in

Thanks.

Agree. Didn't seem particularly cheap to me.

[HudsonHawk]

B8:

Smith in

Encarnacion...full count...grounds to 3B...Bregman throws high, Yuli leaps, tries to tag him, ruled safe...Hinch challenging...replay shows he's out...yep overturned...5-3
Torres homers to RF

That's all for Smith, Harris in

Gregorius pops out F5 on the first pitch
Sanchez grounds out 6-3

To the 9th...4-1 Astros

[Ty in Tampa]

Just saw it on Twitter. It was about 10 rows back.

[chuck]

Will Harris had no intention of dicking around out there.

[HudsonHawk]

Just saw it on Twitter. It was about 10 rows back.

So it wasn't cheap, just inexpensive.

[Nate in IA]

And unlike Boone, AJ has a bullpen full of great arms for the ninth.

On sale.

let's not brag yet.

I don't speculate much on these things but Harris for the 9th too?

[chuck]

I've been to Yankee Stadium and have purchased items inside. Cheap is not the first word that comes to mind.

[BudGirl]

need to get that run back

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Pretty sure that’s gone in Houston...

Don't be so literal.

[HudsonHawk]

No shit.  Still baseball to be played.  Stay optimistic and humble. 

[austro]

Looks like they'll be going straight to Osuna.

[BudGirl]

if bregman loved us he'd hit a hr for us.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Looks like they'll be going straight to Osuna.

Three run ballgame. That's what he gets paid to do. Hope like shit he earns it.

[austro]

I'm hoping that Cessa gets distracted enough by Marisnick to make a mistake with Bregman.

Is HBP good enough?

They're not even at their worst. But they are the worst.

T9:

Springer...full count...grounds out 5-3
Altuve grounds out 4-3 on the first pitch
Brantley singles to LCF
Marisnick in to pinch run for Brantley
Bregman drilled right on the 2 in the middle of the back...Marisnick to 2B
Gurriel...quickly 0-2 waving at pitches two feet off the plate...1-2...pops out F3

Astros nursing a 4-1 lead

[subnuclear]

Apparently, Yuli really wanted to hit a slider today.

[austro]

Is that now 1-13 wRISP?

It is and he still tossed shutout baseball..

Outstanding interview responses by Cole.

Nice Greek chorus by NY fans during the postgame Fox panel

Great win!  I sure hope the Astros can figure out a way to keep Cole in the organization long term

[Mr. Appropriate]

I really really like it when the ASTROS win in the Bronx.
And fuck the Mets, just because.

[EasTexAstro]

This game was quite satisfying

[Limey]

Cole and JV get to pitch one more each.

Depending on the weather, maybe not if the Yankees win the next 3.

What a huge victory.

LOBsters are maddening/potentially fatal but this team goes thru those stretches.   Let's hope this stretch regresses back to connecting in those situations.

Yordan needs to hit the reset button.  Or breathe thru his eyelids. He's in a bad, bad way.

Could not believe this, but listened to the crowd a couple times (3:45:30) to verify.

When I told my bride about this, her response was quick,

They don't deserve to win!

Couldn't agree more.

Fuck your clown porch, Yankees.

I think you could make a case for saying that was the best he’s pitched all year. He had to work his butt off without his best stuff, and he held a talented lineup scoreless for seven.

[doyce7]

He found his stuff in the 6th and the contrast between the last 2 innings and the first few is crazy. The last 2 innings it looked like an adult was pitching to a tee ball team

Got to agree with you on this. Watching cole gut his way through all those innings was amazing. So much heart, beautiful to watch.
