Was that a real win/series win? Or nah?

Obviously HOF caliber pitchers are an exception. Safe to say Javier is not close to that. He’s having a good year and had what will undoubtably be the best start of his career last time out. It doesn’t mean he’s going to get shelled today or anything but the yanks will touch him up for some runs. Stanton’s going deep, he was hot going into break and then was ASG mvp.

Who's on first, what's on second?

Play by play please for those of us who lost the feed. 

Matijevic poked one deep in the hole.  IKF tried to throw to 2nd and no one was covering.

WHADDDUP @Helobious!!!!!

Play by play please for those of us who lost the feed. 

We won on a dinker JJ poked to the left side of the infield and they couldn’t make the play.

But not a real loss so he's fine. Fake wins don't count.

Was hoping for an raging Nick Turturro postgame tweet but will will have to settle for a mildly upset midgame Nick Turturro tweet.

[texashorne 1,177]

Helobius please keep posting here before games. Just know you are always welcome

[Gourmand 7,774]

that idiot just can't stop self-owning in our thread.

it's fantastic. 

[tx 3 putt 76,913]

5 hit game is very nice 

[Pimphand 5,738]

Ahh shit I went too soon hahahahaha

 

[Wulaw Horn 19,069]

So, the Yankees have still yet to have an AB this season with the lead against the Astros.

Yeah it comes down to would you rather Dubon/Chas or Chas/Lee get a shot?  And if Dubon somehow had walked then you could have brought on Yordan.

The only real way to take this decision out of Baker's hands, give him better players than Dubon and Chas. Diaz, Dubon, and Chas are all the same player with different names. Go get a real MLB player instead of being forced to play those 3 guys together in the same lineup.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Can someone remind me why exactly we’re playing a double header against these fucktards the first day back from the all start break? Then start a brand new series tomorrow? Shit don’t make sense.

[Wulaw Horn 19,069]

18 minutes ago, Wulaw Horn said:

maybe they can balk, walk or wild pitch a runner home here. 

Broken bat dribbler deep in the hole instead!  Bam.

[kevwun 15,774]

There were runners on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out in a tie game in the bottom of the 9th.  The Yankees were going to walk Yordan to set up an inning ending double play the moment he got up off the bench.

WE had us a lockout at the beginning of the season and decided to play 162 instead of 156.  This is way better than an off day so far. 

[Helobious 9,448]

If Boone wasn’t a fucking idiot shifting with men on base & 2 outs & a JAG rookie at the plate then they’re still playing. 
 

This is the worst. All these games are so close that I’m 100% positive Yankees FO is thinking it’s all luck and there’s no need to improve the team. Can’t even give us the courtesy of a blowout win. All the rumblings are that they have no desire to make any trade deadline moves and aren’t negotiating with anyone. George wouldn’t have stood for this bullshit in a million years. Whatever fuck you, enjoy your July World Series win.
 

I’m not watching any of game 2. Judge, Stanton, DJL all sitting. It’s going to fucking suck. 

[Gourmand 7,774]

that lineup was not a lineup I expected to win today. 

and the winning hit came off the bat of a minor-leaguer on the roster because of injuries.

no, it's not close AT ALL when you've been trailing in every inning across every game played so far.

Still can't believe we walked Gallo lol

@Helobious  credit where credit is due, you don't slink away in the face of a loss. 

I can respect that at least.

Aggy logic, fitting for a houstonian. Nothing matters but the final score. Everything else is just feel good bullshit that means nothing. 

[YChang 3,443]

Dude Helo, you're more than welcome to participate and trash talk. I just don't understand the need for being such a raging asshole for no good reason.

How many times do the Astros need to keep pounding your asshole before you acknowledge the gape?

[Pimphand 5,738]

We got an encore even.  Not quite as ragey but still other teams are not this fortunate....

Because it’s really hard to talk trash when you keep getting the shit kicked out of you over and over? He just resorts to being a little bitch.

[Helobious 9,448]

So on Yankee Twitter people are saying the head to head only matters if they finish with identical records. If we finish with a better record overall we still get HFA. I feel less depressed.

None of that even matters if Pena doesn't get caught taking a shit his glove in the top of the ninth.

Game was over, Yankees just returned the favor.

[DaysOff 7,947]

Like that will even matter.

I believe the object of the game is to win, which in the end means the final score is all that matters.

Amazing right?  He didn't know HFA would go to the team with the most wins in the regular season.  Amazeballs.

You actually make a somewhat valid point...but it's one I can just as easily make from the Houston side. I'm a little worried that the Astros FO is going to look at this season series as proof we can expect to beat the "best team in baseball" without doing anything to upgrade our offense. That's incorrect thinking, regardless of results to date. We really need at least one more solid bat, and I'm not talking about Yordan's.
