What distractions were they talking about?
At least we won't have to waste any time flipping back and forth between this game and the UT-OU game.
The fact that they want to play well. Apparently this stage appears too big for Verlander and the Astros and they might not be able to deal with it. Essentially this is a MUST win for the Astros, so the Yankees can play free and lose, as they're right where they want to be.
The less I see of Gardner the better.
What a tremendous at bat...probably the key to the game, and apparently that at bat ruined Verlander.
Altuve is unreal.
Where does batting .550 rank among all time postseason efforts
Well that was disappointing. That ball would have had to been hit significantly harder to be called a dribbler.
On that popup, the ball was in Bregman's glove, and Correa knocked it out.
Correa would technically have priority, right?
SS gets the right of way, right?
No. Third baseman has priority over any popup in the infield.
Interesting. Assumed it was the same as the outfield where CF has priority.
It is. The third baseman has priority.
I meant priority going toward the middle of the field.
I thought Altuve had priority?
Not on the infield. Third baseman has priority on any ball on the infield...groundball or a popup.
It's the assumption that the SS is playing deeper in the hole field, so 3B has the easier route.
JOSH X 2, BITCHES!!!
But, I'm thankful he unnecessarily attempted to stretch a double into a triple with two outs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
He's out.
I know this was a big thing in 2005, too, but I will never understand closing the roof during good weather (I don't know what the weather is in Houston today).
With that last replay - how in the hell did the ump call him safe in the first place? He was right on top of it.
Two hard-nosed, hustle great plays by Reddick. Love him. Two big outs n the basepaths for the Yanks.
Its the Yankee default setting.
How many times do you see it - guy makes a great play and comes up third in the bottom of the inning.
roughly 33.3% of the time
There was so much that had to go right to make that play. It's no wonder they sent Gardner.
True, and the Astros executed but didn't do so flawlessly. Reddick's throw caused Correa's momentum to drift towards the first base side, which pulled his throw a couple feet off the bag. I'm not bagging on the Astros' play, just saying that Gardner would have been toast if the relay went off without a hitch. The 3B coach should have held him at 2ndSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Is that Chris Paul in the front row?
Think hell with humidity. Fall arrives Monday though, so I hear.
Yup, with Ariza and Fertitta the Younger and Elder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Reddick woulda had it. They can't overturn that one. (Can they?) Sure hope they don't throw the kid out.
Hairplugs can fucking gargle my mayo.
Weirdly, that makes perfect sense. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Who the fuck is Hairplugs?
Joe Buck
OK thanks.
T5:Castro...called strike...foul...strikes out swinging
Big story a while back about how Buck was addicted to hair plugs...like you or me might be addicted to crack or poontang.
Well that's a first for me. Ever seen that at Minute Maid?
Man, Verlander was cruising before those doubles.
He has a monkey on his back?
Was severino hurt?
Do we need the video game lead distance thing?
Someone tell Harden to return to the stripper lounge beneath the stadium and send Ariza back out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Looks like they all went for a pole dance before that inning, and then Verlander has a great inning. Somebody lock 'em out!
This Verlander character seems to know his way around the strike zone.

Reddick is due...Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
He is a key hit or two away from havin' a day.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Buck: "Fastball strike 1" (came in at 87). Smoltz: "Slider". Buck: silence.
That’s pretty impressive by Kahnle. Fucker. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Altuve did not seem to enjoy his celebration after the K.
More shots of Kate Upton, fewer of Harden please.
Give Verlander 1 more?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
97 pitches. Yes.

Gonzales needs to back off the caffeine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
He's played two games in <24 hours and watched his wife deliver a baby last night. He's probably ALL caffeine at this point.
Yuli's back below .500 for the postseason. He's due.
I did know this (honest) but, have you heard it mentioned during the PBP? I haven’t. If Judge had farted the first three notes of the national anthem we’d hear about nothing else. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
They welcomed Baby Blake early on.
Beltran: Takes strike 1, then breaking ball away, grounds out sharply into the shift, 4-3.
I've switched to Love Street because I'm all out of Shiner.

I've often wondered why computer keyboards don't have a backwards K.
Frazier's got an oh-so-punchable face.
Have you checked the symbols box (alt+i+s)? I'm genuinely curious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Verlander going in the 9th!
Giles warming up.
There is an alternative keyboard for Macs..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_keyBut no backwards K available..
Verlander is tired.
Grigorious lines first pitch to left/center.1 on 1 out.
Yep, Judge made contact.
So does Nitto Tires sponsor the bullpen, or do the relievers just write tire graffiti on their wall?
I thought tyre discussion was banned in the GZ?
This is nut cutting time fellas.
It's not illegal, just frowned upon. Like masturbating on an airplane.
Anyway, I think Altuve likes it when we talk about tires. Now they just need to rotate him home.
Yankees are going to challenge that Correa obstructed at 2B
Too bad he didn't obstruct all the sand getting in the Yankees' collective vagina Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My two year old daughter got scared after I screamed with excitement when Altuve scored.
On the Web ... is a recording of what she describes as her latest track, “What We Want,” a hip-hop-inflected rhythm-and-blues tune that asks, "Can you handle me, boy?" and uses some dated slang, calling someone her "boo."
Holy fuck what a game. One of the greatest Astros pitching performances ever, and Altuve and Correa finishing it off. WOW
That pitching performance is now Astros legend. This is up there with the greatest games an Astro has ever pitched.
I was just thinking if there had been a bigger pitching performance in team history. I can't think of one. Certainly the best one in Astros postseason history, bar none.
Well, the Horns lost a heartbreaker. Did I miss anything in this game?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No. Only three runs scored again...total! Completely shit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
