I hate in-game interviews in the playoffs, like it's a f***ing game in June.

If it was a game in June, we would have runs.

Why is Torres hitting behind Gardner and EE???

wtf is Boone thinking.

EE needs to ride the bench at this point

I understand the thinking. He wants EE to have protection to get better pitches. What Boone fails to realize is that EE is hacking and slashing regardless.

No excuse for Gardner. He's just acting like an idiot.

I hope parrots go extinct. So tired of this guy.

It's always a self fulfilling prophecy with the Yankees going up against good pitchers. They're going up to the batter's box scared every single f***ing time.

They need to win games 4 and 5, otherwise they're toast.

Cliff Lee, Verlander, Cole

Hey now, you can wish injury on Altuve, but leave the birds out of this.

 

[Machinehead]

Cashman goes out and gets guys who have made every cent of their living being homerun derby lunkheads. What do you expect at that point?

There's nobody to blame for Gardner's struggles except Gardner.

Encarnacion is a mistake pitch hitter. Not going to see many mistakes in October.

Based on the comments in this thread I'd have thought the Astros were winning by 10

I'm as pessimistic as ever when it comes to sports but there's still time

The Reddick homer stinks, it was a brutal first inning, but he really settled down.

With Cole on the mound and this lineup's history in October, it feels like they are.

2 run deficit to Gerrit Cole is pretty much game.

Especially since we gotta go to our bullpen

In all likelihood yes, but strangers things have happened

 

[17futurecap]

That wasn't gritty.

 

[ThirdEye]

Think it's pretty apparent he ain't biting Severino ...

 

[ThirdEye]

Sad thing is Houston's batters have been, on the whole, pretty horrendous. Good pitching will offset that though

 

[RGY]

Cmon Didi get your shit together

 

[Machinehead]

You know who could go extinct? Pigeons.

Those are some bad-intentioned avians.

No there is a significant difference. Houston’s hitters have made every AB stressful.

We have assholes like Encarnacion and Sanchez flailing through pitches. Didi awful. Just awful ABs. And theyre all right in the middle of the order together! Straight stupidity from Boone.

 

[Cassano]

Cole doesn't have his best stuff and we don't look close to scoring.

 

[Irishguy42]

Aaron Hicks walks on and in like...3 AB's he has been better than EE/Gardy/Sanchez combined.
