Oh, that's a beauty of a pitch right there!!

Pitch count's out of control, but he's keeping us in until the big breakthrough.

Probably only going to go 5 but that's ok.  Brown is rested and ready.

[IDIOTsavant 8441]

Carpenter with a nice Freddie Mercury impression after that call.

[Gourmand 7774]

Yordan just missed that one

[tx 3 putt 76354]

taillon doing his job tonight, on pace to go 7 or 8

[Lat22 3994]

Still talking about the yankee homer. Jesus. It’s 1-1. 

[rvm96 1643]

Could use a quick inning from JV

Catch by Judge is more significant.

[Lat22 3994]

And another replay of the great yankee homer. Oh wait. It’s 1-1. 

[HtownHorn 14485]

Hope we can get 6 from Justin tonight. He's not been very economical tonight.

[TexArcher 37508]

This ump's scorecard is gonna be pretty bad.  We've gotten most of the balls called strikes, and he's being pretty consistent, but he's missing a bunch.

[MirrOlure 14625]

That’s a fucking swing. Didn’t matter

[Gourmand 7774]

Postseason strikeout record for JV 

[WBT 20420]

Striking out the side isn't great for the pitch count but it's a lot less stressful to watch

[runthebone 7932]

That was a good half inning

Come on, offense

[TexArcher 37508]

Settle in, JV!

Done

[Gourmand 7774]

Did they even mention JV passing Kershaw on the broadcast?

[UTexasFight 9379]

Be patient this inning

We’re about to bust this open

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Yuli's ready to uncoil on one. 

[WBT 20420]

Furk.

Yuli continues to hit the ball better than he did all regular season though. 101.6 mph.

Yes

[WBT 20420]

good ab Chas

[Macklemore 2870]

Great AB Chas!

[wood 11134]

Big walk to bring up #9 in the order. Good job Chaz.

[WBT 20420]

Top of the order next inning.  We really need to break through against Taillon before they go to the pen.

As far as I’m concerned, Peña is the top of the order until Altuve improves on his 0-17

[UTexasFight 9379]

Altuve has to get on next inninng

Their guy will be on a short leash facing the lineup for a third time and would be excellent to get into their bullpen sometime next innjng even if we don’t push anything across

[utxmike05 1825]

Enough with the pop ups. 
JV has been good when he isn't hitting people. 
 

LFG bats!! Wake upppppppp

 

[WBT 20420]

Everyone in our lineup has a batted ball at 93.4 mph ev or higher.  Some of those were fly outs but it still feels like we've been a little unlucky.

[UTexasFight 9379]

And just like that JV has 6 Ks in a row 

[Guest]

Fuck Yankee fan and the Altuve bullshit.

I'm not down with the booing of Judge at MMP.

Be Better.

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

If he can get through this inning at 95 pitches or less will be get the 6th?  Probably.  But if I’m being honest I’d be fine with Brown. 

[runthebone 7932]

That is how a motherfucking Hall of Famer battles.

It's 92 and yeah I think he goes back out.  Stanton has hit the ball pretty damn hard both times though, so that might be the reason to make a change.

[TexArcher 37508]

Shit, now we might hafta give him another inning.

With a 4-1 lead...

[tx 3 putt 76354]

let's get some fucking runs

I'm going Verlander every day of the week but I wouldn't be mad either way

I’m fine with either decision. I don’t think there’s a right or wrong answer there. 

[Wishbone 4735]

Offense getting plenty of bat contact. Need less fielder contact. Time to find some gaps.

[Gourmand 7774]

JV dealing. 

Need to score some fucking runs (says every Astros fan everywhere)

[Gut Wagon 8052]

JV has really stepped up. Champion DNA is showing again. 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19093]

Alright, bottle of wine was done an inning ago. Watched 2 innings with my mom.  Headed to my local.  In NYC.  With my Verlander jersey on. Fun times.

[cabowabo 4452]

We need to break through against this scrub.

[tx 3 putt 76354]

yankees bullpen up

get him home, yordan 

[utxmike05 1825]

Guess we gotta do this wout Tuve. Let's pick him up, boys. 

[WBT 20420]

Quick hook at 67 pitches.  That bullpen is going to be worn out if this goes 6 or 7.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Boone seems like a major pussy going to his pen this early. He’s gonna regret that.

[Horn80 6075]

Fuck him up Yordan

Pitching changes for Yardon at-bats have tended to go great...

His numbers were shit 3rd time through and he didn’t punch anyone out. He was on borrowed time. 
But yeah- their bullpen isn’t super awesome and could get seriously taxed.
