Could've played the entire 2019 Wimbledon final in the time it took to switch umpires in this game.

It was definitely a make-up call and I support it. Would've felt dirty to me if Sanchez had gotten on after such an egregiously bad call on that phantom foul tip. Astros fans would never let us hear the end of it if the Yankees had ended up winning, and rightfully so.

And the fact that a K looking was his best at bat for pretty much the entire playoffs tells you everything you need to know. On paper, fouling off a bunch of pitches looks like a good AB. But watching live, he had at least 2 pitches to smash and fouled them off instead. That's not good. When...

Another annoying case of getting what I asked for but still being upset. All I wanted was to steal a game in Houston and leave 1-1. If we had just lost like 5-1 or something last night I would be in a great mood. But to have a chance at stealing a Verlander start in Houston and not...

Yankees officially have a chance to win the ALCS now. This was a "must win" for them, that's why they threw Tanaka out there against a beatable Greinke (who didn't pitch poorly, just not unhittable). Have to make sure you at least get on the board in Game 1, because if not you could quickly be...

Confirmed now that he was tipping his pitches. If you look at the thumbnail of this vid, the left is a fastball and the right is a curveball.

RIP Flappy bois

But is he even the best pitcher on his team? :eek:

Rays just gotta work that pitch count. Remember Game 2? Cole threw like 8 scoreless and as soon as he was out of the game they had their chance with bases loaded in the 9th. But obviously that also implies holding Houston to 4 or 5 runs the next 6 innings.

Yankee fans like me who are terrified of Verlander/Cole! For the first time in my life I'm excited for more games at the Trop :-D

These playoffs are wild. Hoping for another exciting game 5 tonight!

That's a lot of innings for a not so good bullpen. And it's not like they can trust Corbin to make another relief appearance. The failure is on Strasburg for not being to do his job even with a 3-1 count. He got cute and hoped for a walk when it was a good pitch to bunt, which then forced his...

Still expecting Houston to win the series. They're a different team in their own building.
