Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 1 hour ago, .H. said: I'm hopeful too, since we do have guys that have reasonable numbers (career-wise) versus Verlander. So, the case of regressing toward the mean could certainly be in the Yankee's favor. Houston's offensive slumber is frightening though, in the sense of wondering when the dragon is going to awaken. But like you say, a little of column A, little of column B, it's pretty hard to find how much Houston is just flat slumping or how much Yankee's pitching is just been pretty good. I do fear that, while Yankees have gotten the benefit of a good bit great pitching, the Astros' hitting has just been sub-par, we can only hope they don't get it together. Also worrisome is the difference in the Yankee's hitting at home versus on the road, but maybe, just for a game, they can make believe they are at home? Their hitting doesn't need to be that much better. They easily could have won game one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Re: Yankees making adjustments - Keuchel, Verlander, and Facing These Yankees Twice. I'm perhaps strangely much more worried about the Stros offense waking up and/or Sevy simply being out of gas (he's pitched about 204 innings this season after pitching around 150 to 160 the last two seasons, and obviously much less before) than I am Verlander. Of course that means the latter will pitch another complete game as Houston wins 1-0. I think it's more than time for Dusty. Always liked him, but he's 68 and I'm pretty sure he's been consistently managing since I can remember - and as a kinda Giant fan I'll never forget him.

Myshkin Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 WS game times announced. All games in L.A. will start at 5 pm local time, which those of us who’ve been to Chavez Ravine know is the absolute worst time to start a baseball game in L.A.

Myshkin Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hope the Astros win in 19, then the Yanks win tomorrow in 22. That would be my ideal outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshkin Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 I don’t want to be a dick or anything, but this ALCS has been pretty boring. I mean, it’s gone 7, so there’s some drama, but each individual game has been a snooze fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
