The Astros might get run over tonight if Charlie Morton is allowed to stay in the game too long. Yankee hitters hammered him last time.

Let's hope he can forget that and return to his regular season form at Minute Maid. 10-3 with a .217 BAA.

Both Astros and Yankees seem to be home venue dependent.

Edge Astros

With good cause. As bad as the hitting was,  the bullpen numbers were even more atrocious.

Not true. Joe wanted to keep his coaching staff intact.

Not gonna happen..

 

It was not immediately clear whether the rest of manager Joe Maddon’s coaching staff would be returning. Assistant hitting coach Eric Hinske could be a candidate to join the Los Angeles Angels’ staff, said a major league source.

Too bad he couldn't fire the GM.  He's responsible for the bullpen roster.

Is he working the WS?

It might be his last broadcast until 2018!?

FFS can someone send that weasel Rosenthal to an actual barber instead of letting his mom do it!

[Blarg]

I guess Morton is more comfortable on the mound tonight.

Hicks finally moved Reddick down to the #9 spot. Something about a 0.000 average in the #2 spot just because he was left handed was pretty dumb.

Very nice catch Judge!!! Kudos!

I can't wait until this series is over and Judge goes back to Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory.

About 20 minutes before the game started, my entire Cable,.. Television, Computer, AND Landline went down. 

Got on a cell phone & the Cable Company said the window to fix it was until 8:30 tonight. 

Everything was back up 5 minutes before the game started.

[Corona]

That catch was badass

[Blarg]

McCann is one slow ass baserunner.

[Blarg]

Reddick sucks.

[Corona]

Reddick for MVP if the Yankees win

Sabathia's fastball is just barely hitting 91. Still, the Astros can't convert with risp.

Yeah. Frustrating.
