Correa takes a curve outside, takes an offspeed pitch inside, then doubles into the corner; Bregman scores,  Alvarez to 3rd
Chirinos misses a FB, takes a FB high, fouls a high one back, strikes out with a half swing on a chin high FB
Marisnick takes a FB high outside,  laces one just foul over Alvarez's head, fouls a FB straight back, checks one foul, Ks swinging over a breaking ball

Paxton tried to get his curve over for first pitch strikes until Chirinos and Jake came up.

If he threw Chirinos anything before the belt he should have been kicked out of the game.

Tucker's swing can't be brought to bear on a high fastball: it's physically impossible. Consequently, he has to learn to lay off of that stuff. That third strike was absolutely ludicrous.

Bottom 5

Tucker hits for Marisnick,  misses a chin high FB, then anotherin the zone,   lays off another, fouls another high FB, K swinging at an eye-high FB

That's it for Green.
Ottavino (RHP)  in

Springer homers on the first pitch hanging breaker
Brantley sends a 1-1 hotshot foul into the dugout; bal struck someone; action paused while the victim is attended to.
Brantley steps back in,  1-2, fouls , fouls again, Ks swinging on a ball in the dirt,  reaches safely on WP
Altuve reaches on an infield hit off the glove of Gregorius; Brsntley to 2nd (running on the play but could not get to 3rd)
Bregman takes a low FB for a strike,  another is wide 1-1, takes a fat FB 1-2, lays off a slider away 2-2, fouls a high FB, called out on a pitch that was high

Another pitching change.
Kahnle (RHP) changeup specialist

Alvarez quickly 0-2, fouls a mistake,  misses a better one to K

No that pitch was just on top of the strike zone box. A pitch I would hope Verlander would get the call on. The pitch before that he fouled was 3in above the strike zone.

If the Astros don't start hitting soon, they're going to get swept out of the ALCS.

The offense has been putrid against pretty sub par pitching, and shows no signs of waking up.

Mike’s not seeing it well. A tepid ground ball in a 3-1 CC fastball is uncharacteristic.

Umpires give way too much leeway to the pitcher in a 3-0 count.  Anything remotely close they call a strike.

I think Smoltz is actually on to something. Think about how many times this year the Astros did nothing through the first few innings and then destroyed the pitching in the 5th or 6th innings after they had seen the stuff a bit. With the way Boone is handling his staff (and same for Cash in the last series), they're simply not getting that third time around against the same pitcher.

fouls 99 straight back, misses a great slider,  HPU says he fouled it,  replay shows he missed it by 4 inches; finally called out on 99 that may or may not have dotted the corner

I'll just say that I appreciate the make up call by Blaser. It was a marginal pitch but Blaser realized he'd fucked up the previous pitch. Had the exact same thing happened with the Astros batting you would not hear shit from me about it.

Agreed.  Also, Gary Sanchez is a complete tool for arguing the punch out after he knew he struck out on the previous pitch.

Stellar pitching from the Astros.

JV was not at his most dominating but he was smart and gutty.
The bullpen was nails. Best I remember Smith this year.
Sanchez was locked in and James struck him out twice.

He just called Carlos Correa Carlos Beltran, when comparing him with Judge as a "transformational player" as a 6'5" shortstop!

I turned on the TV audio just in time to hear A-Rod refer to Correa as Carlos Beltran.

If your former team is in it, you shouldn't be on the broadcast anyway, but he's just an absolute dumpster fire no matter what team it is.

Bad time to lose the fuckin wifi, I will have to watch the last couple of innings on arrival. We needed that win, I had a premonition Carlos was going to win it in the previous frame, so apparently I don't have esp.

Everyone in the fucking stadium could see Sanchez missed that pitch by a foot.  The only dumbass who missed it was the guys standing a foot away whose job it is to watch for it.  I imagine when Hinch went out he told Blaser "look, I know this is not reviewable, but when you see the replay, you're gonna be embarrassed.  That strike zone better get fucking huge in a hurry."

I think Smoltz is actually on to something. Think about how many times this year the Astros did nothing through the first few innings and then destroyed the pitching in the 5th or 6th innings after they had seen the stuff a bit. With the way Boone is handling his staff (and same for Cash in the last series), they're simply not getting that third time around against the same pitcher.

Exactly. This is not hard to figure out.

But, they will get to a third time if they are used that much in relief....

They just need to see the ball and hit the ball.  It's simple, right?

I don't know if it's simple. Probably not but seeing the ball well against a different guy each time is probably really hard.

Meanwhile...7.2IP, 3H/2ER, 11K:4BB Yankee pen this series
                      4.2IP, 1H/0ER, 5K:2BB.   Astros pen this series. 
Our guys are holding their own very nicely.

(Correa's view) (https://nypost.com/2019/10/14/carlos-correa-destroys-yankees-in-every-way/) ....When it hit [Altuve] and I saw the ball go my way, I just went after it. And I grabbed it and when I looked up and I saw [third base coach Phil Nevin] was sending the runner, I thought, ‘Oh, I got this guy.’ So I threw him out. I don’t know why he sent him, but, thank you.”
