Author Topic: Yankees@ Cleveland, Game 5 ALDS (Read 8290 times)

I have listened to the Indians broadcast over the last couple of games and, while I did not originally white them, they grew on me a little bit. Not much, but a little bit. I thought I would listen to the Yankees broadcast for this game and, oh my goodness, it is bad. Like high school announcer bad. I had to switch back to the Indians broadcast.

Tom Hamilton. Very earnest. Loves baseball. A screamer. Makes Kalas sound monotone.

Indians broadcast has lots of yelling.

ETA - Jim beat me to it.

Robertson is pretty good.

I love the Indians guy. This is a good game. Do we assume that all the Astros scouts are there?

Crunching numbers in a back room.

I’ll bet scouts are there too.

I listened to him in Game 2 driving home from Houston. I did not love three hours of yelling on routine plays.

3-2 Yanks after 7.

Yankees bullpen is much better after their moves.

And that was the only pitch anyone came close to squaring up.

3-2 after 8

Reminded me of when Yuli got Chapman earlier this year. Good times... Good times...

Wooooooow. Gardner singles in one, the throw in gets away and another scores. 5-2

Unless the unexpected happens against Aroldis, if appears as if we will have an ALCS game in Houston on Friday night.

He didn't have confidence to drop the hammer 3-2, and it was bound to eventually catch up with him.

Weird throw by RF there. His footwork was off, looked like he rushed it.

Seeing the Indians have this potential ending to such a great season (end of season) makes me all the more thankful for the Astros winning game 4...

NeilT · « **Reply #45 on:** October 11, 2017, 10:35:25 pm »

So Judge was 1 for 22?

Andyzipp · « **Reply #46 on:** October 11, 2017, 10:35:34 pm »

So, did the Indians just meltdown defensively, are the Yankees getting hot/lucky or is it a mix of both?

A little of both. Errors and good at bats.

No joke. This would be a horrible way to end the season.

Damn. How do you take a 2-strike fastball from Chapman right down the middle? Were you unaware he had that pitch in his repertoire?

That was pretty bad. Encarnacion is 0-fer the series.

Weird strategy. Looks like they were determined to see if Chapman could throw strikes after the lead off walk.

LonghornCDR · « **Reply #53 on:** October 11, 2017, 10:45:06 pm »

He keeps piping it and they keep watching it.

Well they were consistent in laying off the fastballs in the zone.

Well, the Astros get their wish for home field advantage. Plus the note about going through Boston and New York to get the World Series raising Houston's status is now a reality..

Yankees definitely are hot, but Cleveland helped.

NYY is a dangerous team. Do not take them lightly.

The Indians looked like they had already lost in the top of the 9th. Every face they showed, looked beaten, rather than determined. I think they were shellshocked that this was happening and the ABs in the 9th are the result.

Sucks for them to go out with such a whimper

Sometimes you just gotta borrow Ezra Pound:

Lhude sing damm.
Pitchem tight and hitem hard,
And how the wins do ram!
Sing: damm.
