Good omen.

set the tone, Verlander.

Gonna be a great game.

Ok, lets go - fuck the yanks.

Show em why you're an ace and make that annoying prick's slap single meaningless.

Just. Like. That.

Beauty of a twin killing. The pitch, the glove, and the turn were all awesome.

I'll do play by play if no one else is..

If there is one guy in he team who is not going to let that sort of thing bother him, it is absolutely Verlander.

judge grounds into a 6-4-3 double play
Gregorious pops straight up to Bregman (at short position)
0 - 0

Little leadoff slap hit makes my gut go "yelp". Verlander tells my gut to "shut the fuck up" with a quick double play.
-
Got ahead of each hitter quickly.

WTF, blue?!
That "strike" 1 was 6 inches above the letters
Strike 2 was also a ball.

Those pitches to Reddick weren't even close!
-
Springer and Altuve both looked like they were swinging to be heroes. Hopefully they can shorten things up and chill out.
-

I thought the second 'strike' was about 50 - 50 which means the mf yanks get the call.
-
Here's what I'd like to see:
When we fall behind in the count, stay protective but don't put the pitcher's pitch in play every time. Foul that shit off, make him work and pounce when something hittable, even if its *just* a single.
I realize this is groundbreaking.
I'll send my thesis to the nobel committee.
-

Yes, please

Can't defend that shit.

That curve went thru 2 feet of the strike zone.

Verlander won't pout or crumble if guys get on with weak ass contact.
Back of the rotation, please pay attention.
-
SUCK IT BLUE!!!!!
-
Verlander won't pout or crumble if guys get on with weak ass contact.
Or if the umpire blatantly screws him on the strike zone for the third time in 10 minutes.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Can't call that a ball. Ass.

Sanchez, strike, foul, swinging bunt, single..
Bird, ball, strike, swinging strike, swinging strike. Sit down meat! 1 out
Castro, first pitch fly ball to Springer, 2 out
Hicks, curve for a strike showed bunt, called a ball but was clearly a strike, foul, changeup that hicks swings at weakly.

Verlander's stats with this ump are a worry, 1 - 4 6+ era.

him Reynolds.
Nice to know the name of the person administering your colonoscopy sans sedatives.
Or lube.

That statistics on when Reynolds is behind the plate is bullshit. Clearly that shows that Reynolds is an asshat. And proves that MLB is doing whatever they can to anoint the Yankees.

Whyyyyyyyy did he chase that low and outside...

Bottom of the 2nd
Correa, strike, foul, ball high but Reynolds wanted to call it a strike, foul, jam fly to right, 1 out
Gurriel, ball, strike on the inside, foul, ball, foul and loses his helmet, ball, walk
Bregman, foul, foul, foul tip (barely), foul, strike out swinging on a slider, 2 out
Gonzalezf first pitch pop up to left. 3 outs.
0 - 0 after two

Astros hitters are totally overmatched. They don't stand a chance right now.
-

Once he was behind he's at the pitcher's mercy.
Strike 2 was his pitch to hit and he knew it.

If Yuli can hit three solo home runs, who knows, they might have a chance.

Nice, Verlander. Making Frazier/Frasier shrug.

Oh, it's the Yankees that suck. Time for the big boys to step up.

If there is portion of the lineup to the madness, this is it.

You gotta think 0-21 puts a damper on any future flag bikini antics.
He had to get a new/clean(ish) helmet, too. That's almost bad enough.

Green looks like a guy you see in a jail line-up for some kind of psychopathic sexual predator criminal.

Peacock appears to be coming in. Was there ever any talk of him starting game 7?
No game 7 if we don’t win today

Correa, rips a double into the left field corner.. the bats, they are coming alive!
Gurriel, ball way inside, foul, base hit into right.. Correa to third,
Bregman, strike, ball, doubles to the wall in center field, Correa scores, Gurriel scores... Bregman to third on the shitty throw home..
Betances on the bump still nobody out.
Gonzalez, ball way outside, ball inside, foul, strike, strike swinging on a slow curve. 1 out
Gattis, ball, good breaking ball for a strike, fly ball is deep enough to score Bregman.. 2 out
McCann, ball, ball, swinging strike , seeing eye single through the shift..
Springer, needs to get on the hit parade, foul, ball inside, grounds out 6-3.
The vaunting has returned!

Maybe I'm being naive, but I think they can hit any of these guys (including Chapman) when they are in their flow, swinging the bats.
Unfortunately, the Yankees don't have to be in much of a flow to hit most of our guys.

Smoltz made a good observation during the critical McCann AB; its a fine line catchers walk when complaining about pitches during their ABs because they want their guy to get the same courtesy.
Fighting thru that and smoking that ball to the ball to the wall was absolutely clutch.

I'm not sure it's all mental. Severino has some nasty stuff.
This. It was not mental. Severino was knocking the bats out of their hands the first four innings.
-
A couple of observations from section 116:
Severino was positively unhittable the first few innings. Our hitters had no chance. Around the 5th he either lost confidence in his FB or decided to change strategy, but he threw more breaking pitches and lost some command. Altuve got a big hit, but McCann’s AB was huge.
Velander is incredible. He threw a slider to Sanchez on 3-0 and got the checked swing grounder from a guy with a green light sitting dead red. The Hicks AB in the 7th was worth the price of admission. The slider on 3-2 after several fouls on his FB was gutsy and perfectly placed. I remember when most of the board was against trading for him. I hope we reward his decision with a Game 7 win.
Springer!
The extra runs in the 8th were great, but the return of vaunting was better.
Great GZ guys and gals! Colt .45 should be banned permanently.
-
The Yankees are going to have to find a new position for Sanchez. If the Yankees lose today, he is shaping up to be the goat of the series. His swing on the 3-0 count was brutal. Did Girardi green light him? That was a huge moment in the game.
-
Colt .45 should be banned permanently.
Agree.
Of all the times for something like that to happen. What an asshat he was/is/will be.
-
Coach, I believe I told you we shouldn’t expect Verlander to be Randy Johnson.
Turned out I was right. He’s much better than Johnson.
Verlander is already the most consequential in-season acquisition in Houston sports history, and the degree to which I love him will probably lead to a serious talk between me and Correa.

The Rockets getting Drexler in 95, Astros getting Johnson in 98, and Beltran in 2004 come to mind as making the list.
The Rockets simply don't win title #2 without Clyde.
The playoffs on 98 never happened - they never happened. Weighing Beltran's importance to that 04 club, well he was simply spectacular. For 2 weeks he was the best player in either league, and not by a little.
Hard to put Verlander, Clyde, and CB in a rank order. Not hard to say that Verlander is a hall of fame player at the peak of his craft and its been freaking awesome to watch.

I'm sure he had a green light, but he got badly fooled. It was a tremendous pitch in a tremendously crucial situation. That pitch and the 3-2 to Hicks were the two biggest pitches of the season so far.
