But he had errors in the last two games.  That's what happens when you aren't stealing signs.  Or something.

Look. Correa was right. Altuve didn't use the trashcan to hit. He used it to field. Bang once, double play. Bang twice. Get one out at first. No bangs. Throw the ball away and let everyone advance. 

Still cheating though. He needs to hear the trashcan bangs in order to know where to throw.

Jesus just stop. I've seen whitey Ford pitch in more old timers games than you've been there. The Yankees history didn't start in 1999 or whenever you hopped on board. Except for a few years the Yanke

Astros: 2017 World Champs Suck it. Come and take it.     (General thread title to allow for Red Sox/yankees/dodgers/ et al fans to bitch now and then defend later when their teams get popped too).

Lurked in the Astros thread some to drink the tears. Those lifelong “fans” are asking things like if contracts are insured and if the MLB has revenue sharing. 
 

But I’m the one that doesn’t know shit about baseball.

Hey smart guy that was me asking if the contract was insured and there’s a reason for that- not every baseball contract is insured. Most aren’t in fact. It’s completely at the owners prerogative and it’s done on a case by case basis you silly head.

You guys are hilarious. Congrats on back dooring your way to the ALCS. It’s obvious the 2 best AL teams played in San Diego in the ALDS already. Although I hate the Rays it will be awesome to see them send your sorry cheating asses back home tomorrow. 

Sorry your 300 million dollar team couldn't get it done this year. Maybe if you spend another 100 million next year, you might win. 

And who doesn't like the Rays?  They're a team. Home grown mostly.  You hate the Astros but they're a team too. Also mostly home grown. Are the Yankees a team?  Stanton has been there for two or three years, still not a Yankee. Cole has been there one year. Is he a Yankee?

The farm matters. You can't just buy championships. Ask Jeter.

Hey Mr. Student of the Game. You do realize that the Yankees “backed doored” into the playoffs as well? Without playoff expansion, they’d have been sitting home as well  

 

also, this is a good listen for those who believe that the Astros invented creative sign stealing.

One of the most tired & inaccurate myths in baseball. News flash: The Yankees are mostly homegrown as well. Just as they were during their 90s title run.

Is it a myth?  Less than half of the Yankee roster is "homegrown."  Houston, on the other hand has 23 Homies.

Homegrown 17
Free Agent 8
Trade 15
Waivers 0
Rule 5 0

You forget to mention that the Yankees have more homegrown players than the Rays do? It’s not really close either.

So you were patently incorrect in your assertion on the Yankee roster, so now deflect to the Rays... in an Astros hate thread.

Out of the top 10 highest salaries on the Yankees roster, 2 were homegrown. Tanaka and Gardner.

When I think homegrown- I think Japanese export pitcher who came over as a fully formed professional- developed by someone else with years of major league experience- at like 26 years old. For sure.

Very good point. I was simply listing players who played their entire MLB career with the Yankees. I’d like to amend my earlier statement. Only  one of the Yankees top 10 salaried players were homegrown. Gardner.

What an astoundingly stupid way to measure homegrown-ness. By definition a homegrown player is under team control for a long ass time. Judge, Sanchez, Sevy, Garcia, Frazier, Torres, Monty, Higgy, Andujar all yet to hit free agency.

Hey- did you figure out al baseball contracts aren’t insured yet?  Or will that be another thing where you show your ass and then refuse to admit you were completely factually wrong?

What is astoundingly stupid is using homegrown-ness to attempt to refute  the fact that the Yankees try to spend their way to championships. We’re talking money not bodies.

Factually incorrect. 13 out of their 40 players are homegrown. I’ll give you a pass since they’re in our division and not yours, but everyone knows the Rays never have a strong farm system & that’s not how they build their team. They’re strength is finding cheap reclamation projects and creating favorable matchups through platooning & shifting a lot.

You say that like the Astros don’t have the 4th highest payroll in baseball.

Every professional sports team tries to spend their way to championships. Some are just better at it than others.

It is absolutely within the rules, for sure.  Other poster cannot accept reality about his team.  The team isn’t necessarily the bad guy in the discussion.  Said poster is uber douche while feigning objectivity.

I mean, it's obvious.  The .550 second place Yankees were clearly superior to the .600 division champion Twins and A's.  You can tell because a bandwagon Yankee fan said so.

And the only reason the Lakers won the NBA championship is because the Yankees didn't feel like playing basketball.

this argument would make more sense if the spending resulted in actual championships. or world series appearances. jorge posada ain’t walking through that door.

Anyone want to take this extra bedroom I have in @Gourmand‘s head? I’m living rent free up here. Very empty & spacious as well.

Yeah sorry my Houston-raised, Htown sports for life "bandwagon fan" inferiority complex got the better of me because of the true-blooded Yankee/Lakers/Real Madrid fan from Cotulla, Texas who drinks nothing but champagne out of title trophies.
