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.

Dusty mismanaging the bullpen in the most important game of the year is not surprising.

I don’t know man. I’ve been driving the Dusty is awful at managing bullpen bus all year long and I don’t know that I particularly see it that way. I’m ready to listen. 
I hate that this group will only win 1 ring but that’s 1 more than I ever thought I’d see in my life so I’m eternally grateful.

Stanek in the 5th and Javier in the 7th was a complete fuckup. Not too mention letting Pressly throw 30+ pitches tonight in a losing effort.

I'm not sure why Javier wasn't the bridge guy after Greinke pitched and hit his ass off.

Raley should never be used in a high leverage situation.

You built your pen so that you would have Stanek, Graveman, and Pressly to get the final 9 outs, and for some reason he deviated from it tonight. It's the same as when Dieker used Mike Jackson in game 1 of the 2001 NLDS, instead of sticking with Dotel and Wagner.

I really like Dusty, he is a great ambassador for the game, and he is just a great person off the field. There is a reason why he has never won the WS, and has been fired twice after leading a team into the playoffs. Hopefully the offense wakes up and puts up 3 big games, but you had the game in your grasp and you decided it was best to deviate from your winning strategy.

Really good post. My gauge was original intent was to save Javier to piggy-back Framber tomorrow, but once lead was cut to 2-1 and Maton narrowly escaped disaster (and no insurance runs were added) Dusty went into panic mode and wanted his “best weapon” (bypassing Graveman) covering 7th/8th to try to get to Pressly.

And now I’m sure Pressly is out tomorrow.

Look…I wana be positive. But we only managed 2 runs in 2 close games with really good Stros pitching in both.  Both runs by Altuve.  And 1 RBI by him.  

ANDDD It’s pretty pathetic that we only managed 2 runs vs Atlanta’s shitty staff these past 2 games. Trash pitchers today and we choked it.  
 

i’m tired of going into every inning thinking “ok this is definitely the inning the bats go off!”
