2019 ALCS: Yankees vs Astros

[Helobious 9,462]

Needs an official thread imo. Deadened ball already fucked Judge in his first AB.

[Helobious 9,462]

Heads up base running by Stanton.

Lulz.  I guess he should have been standing on the base like in Little League. 

[Scraps 13,562]

Dammit Tony I was hoping this moron ended up talking to UpperWestside only in this threads existence

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,105]

Oh yay, a Helobious thread.

[Helobious 9,462]

I had no interest in entering the Astros circle jerk thread to talk about the series. Casual fans & yankee fans needed a thread. 

[Helobious 9,462]

It would be cool if someone stabbed whatever Astro fan is yelling “swing” on every pitch in the throat. 

[David Dennison 18,923]

Yankee fans or fan?

[NowThis 931]

besides Nolan, any celebrities in the background?

[Helobious 9,462]

JUDGGGGEEE

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

The fuck was Bregman doing right there?

[Helobious 9,462]

@UpperWestside that’s why I don’t bet on sports. Stanton already proved me wrong.

[ztejas 43,477]

Greinke throwing a pretty good game sans the solo shots. Wonder how many pitches he'll get.

Hopefully a lot more. He’s been giving up hard contact all night, leaving him in would give the Yanks the best chance to extend their lead. Hou has a good bullpen.

[Helobious 9,462]

If Boone doesn’t regret taking Tanaka out early tonight he will as the series progresses. Godfucking damn it.

[ztejas 43,477]

This is an ass beating 

[YChang 3,453]

Congrats to Helobious and Yankee fans. What a butt kicking tonight. 

[midtown 3,346]

Called me shocked.. Really didn't see this coming but I'm loving it

[Helobious 9,462]

Yankees just need a 3-3 finish to win the series now. 

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

Yankees had to win today if they were going to have any chance at winning this series. Didn’t expect an ass beating though. I’d be shocked if Houston doesn’t respond tomorrow

[Constant 6,743]

Is baseball 2-2-1-1-1 or 2-3-2? I forget.

2-3-2

[Fudge Nuggets 19,206]

Yankees flat kicked our ass today. No getting around that.

Ha. I do it only occasionally. Stanton guesses a good bit when he's struggling, but when he connects there is no doubt about where the ball is landing.

Just one game for the Savages. I will stick to them winning in six, but baseball is a funny sport at times.

I thought that this is the guy the Yanks could definitely get to. Tanaka, despite a mediocre regular season, has been very good in October so far in his career. 

The next two games could be brutal with Verlander and Cole starting. This is where the Yanks see how much they progressed from two years ago. 

[Helobious 9,462]

I just noticed game 3 is at 3pm on Tuesday. Who the fuck thought of that? Lots of competitive programming on Tuesday night? Jesus I might only be able to watch the last 2 or 3 innings if I’m lucky. Bullshit.

That sucks. I was hoping that you Yankee bandwagon fans would have delivered the prime time spot over an NLCS that fewer people care about.  I guess the league thinks NL game 4 will get better ratings than AL game 3. Seems unlikely to me, but I guess they can't give the AL every prime time slot.

This seems to happen every year. Especially when there are both series on the same day. I remember watching Ranger playoff games when they were in the aLCS 2 years in a row in the afternoon during the week. I know game 5 of the 2010 ALCS against NY was on a Wednesday afternoon.

yeah, sucks for me too I'm in meetings out of town Tue & Wed.

 

Might develop gastric issues around 2:45PM on Tue...  " I'll just go to the room and tough it out."

[Helobious 9,462]

That NLCS will go probably go down as one of the least-watched of all time.  Yankees-Astros ratings at 3pm will probably be abysmal, and it'll still outdraw the NLCS game in prime time. Damn it MLB.

It’s just a part of being a fan of Houston pro-sports team.  

[spystud13 2,371]

 

Giancarlo’s knee may be acting up. 

[Helobious 9,462]

Or Boone actually took my advice, yesterday’s HR notwithstanding.

[spystud13 2,371]

Quad injury. 

[Helobious 9,462]

Have a feeling that I might get a lesson in being careful what I wish for.

And I hate saying it but Jeter may have really fucked the Yankees when he just handed Stanton to them. He seems like a guy that will be injured more often than not over the course of the contract. 

[NowThis 931]

the FS1 corner box score is so much better than the TBS crap.

[MC Fresh Breath 4,074]

Pulled Paxton too early, imo. Panic move.

[spystud13 2,371]

That changed in a hurry. 

[Helobious 9,462]

Even I was shocked by that. Wow.

[Helobious 9,462]

Lol at the butthurt astros fans mad at Judge for being hyped about homering off an unhittable pitcher in a playoff game. 

[Iceman 2,717]

bouncing back with DAMAGE in the bottom of the 4th...

 

Fuck these guys.

Nobody's pissed at Judge.

 

It was a great hit at a pivotal moment.  He SHOULD be pumped up.

[huge 3,793]

Look. There was post after post after post on this thread from the butthurt battalion

It’s science

[Iceman 2,717]

ump couldn't stand for the pitch to be the fucking pitch.

 

Changes the game for their bullshit bailouts

I hate how Fox uses the NFL music for baseball. I hear it and my brain is disappointed when it sees baseball.

[Helobious 9,462]

No joke, I could smoke DJL in a foot race. No idea what he was thinking.

[MC Fresh Breath 4,074]

These announcers are wrong. That was stupid base running

[Spankytoes 1,742]

Baseball has jinxes. Not going to comment until the Yankees World Series thread

[spystud13 2,371]

What did Springer do? That would be rather large.

That was a very liberal use of the word “limp”. He may well leave the game out of caution but he didn’t look very hurt.
