there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

They only have three available pitchers on the 40 man: Ivey, Nivaldo Rodriguez, and Peter Solomon. I suspect they will recall Ivey.

Moot now, but isn't there still the rule about having to stay down for 10 days?  If so that would preclude Ivey for a bit longer.  Actually, google says it's 10 days for position players and 15 days for pitchers.

Or the team looks at Maldy's .720+ OPS from the past two years and sees his .581 OPS as a small sample size that will improve as the season goes along. 

I'm sure it will improve but I'd still like to see Castro more in the meantime.  Even if Maldy was hitting like normal I don't think the gap in defense warrants the playing time split we've seen.

If it was serious they would have gotten a MRI, or Dusty would know the results.

That's a good point, I bet you're right. In fact I bet it's roster manipulation with Odorizzi and Framber coming back this weekend.

Yes you're correct about the rule but a player doesn't have to stay down for 10 days as long as he's replacing an injured player.

Btw if you aren't listening to the radio broadcast, earlier in the inning when Bregman was at bat, Ford said "so far Bauer has thrown ELEVEN four-seamers and the Astros have swung at five of them and they haven't swung and missed ANY of them."

How in the fuck are there so many Dodgers fans at a regular season Astros home game? Are the California fuckers overrunning Houston of all places now, too?

A lot of Dodgers fans are there as a result of specifically organized trips by Pantone 294 and other organizations.  This was planned.

With 2 outs Straw should really try to stretch that to a double

EDIT - I guess the counterpoint is that you don't want to risk getting thrown out and have Maldy lead off the next inning.  Same with an 8-hole hitter in the NL wanting to clear the pitcher's spot.

Have Bauer on the ropes in the first and let him off the hook, but at least he throws a lot of pitches. Do nothing the rest of the night and when you have a chance to build his pitch count you go 3 up 3 down on maybe 7 pitches. Sometimes I hate baseball.
