Due to my usual state of being gripped with fear of losing, it was somewhat of a shock to hear Smoltz talking about how the Yankees must win at least one of these games just to get back to Houston. I hope they will be pressing like fuck tonight because they won’t want to face JV tomorrow needing to win to stay alive.

I hope Greinke can keep them quiet for a while to ramp up the pressure. I also hope that the Astros will wait on Tanaka and take him the other way (NTTAWWTJ to give Zack something to work with.

T1:

Springer...who is hitting .083 this series...lines out to SS in the shift. Robbed.
Altuve flies out to RF...one handed half swing went almost to the track
Brantley...takes two floating meatballs down the center...evens the count at 2-2...works it full...fouling off pitches...walks
Bregman takes strike one four inches off the plate...pops up F6

No score

B1:

LeMahieu...3-0...walks
Judge lines to SS...Correa knocks it down and it trickles away, but LeMahieu had to freeze, so Correa runs it down and throws out LeMahieu at 2B...Score it a 6-4 FC
Hicks pops one to shallow RCF...Correa out and almost gets there, but it finds some grass...Judge to 2B...easy pop out on any other night
Torres pops to 1B...IFR in effect
Judge steals 3B, Hicks steals 2B
Encarnacion...full up...walks
Gardner...3-0...walks...Judge scores, Hicks to 3B, Encarnacion to 2B
Sanchez...0-2...strikes out swinging

But the Yankees get a run on a bloop and three free passes. Lead 1-0

Yes. They said on the broadcast that the winds are swirling in the stadium and that the balls are actually dying to center and right field but heading out to left field rather briskly. They also mentioned that pitchers may struggle as there is a lot of wind in the 60’-6” pitching channel.

That ball was MORE than deep enough to score PLUS Judge had to field it on the run moving to his left.
