We left too many men on base. I know Tuck and Breggy and Yordan will get theirs, gonna light my Altuve Mexican religious candle today.

The morning after a playoff win over the Yankees is so choice.  If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

Holy shit, Yankee fan on XM radio show was asking why steroids are illegal and Tommy John surgery isn’t.

MLB network is saying the roof will be open tonight. Curious decision if true after all the precedents of the league having roof closed.

I’m pretty sure Cole will pitch game 3 on Saturday vs LMJ. Javier will go against Cortes on Sunday .

Not really. How about the hometown Judge boo treatment?

Why the fuck is the roof open?

The roof should be open on a night like tonight.

This sounds backwards to me.  MLB has always wanted the roof open in the playoffs and the Astros have wanted it closed.  Didn't seem to be an issue until the 2005 World Series when MLB forced the Astros to open it.

[Planet Houston 4,930]

Pretty surprising - my Astros source says our pitchers (particularly JV) don’t want it open, and MLB doesn’t flex its muscles to make them go one way or the other until the WS. I was assuming it would be closed all ALCS.

With the roof open, Peña gonna hit one onto Crawford St.

I don’t know who has wanted what but it seems it always been a league decision. At least this last run of playoffs. As for esthetics, I love open air stadiums. And going to be a great night. But for the Astros, I can see where it can feel like you have lived in a house for 10 years and walk in and the furniture has been moved. Same house, same furniture but something doesn’t feel quite right. Don’t think it will or should be an issue but the home field advantage is about being comfortable in your house. Any decision against what the Astros want is bogus.

You’re missing the point.

It should be the Astros’ decision but MLB made it today. 
 

Home field advantage is a hard won right, and it should be left to the team. 

[UTexasFight 9,517]

Who has said MLB made the decision?

or are we assuming Astros always want it closed and because it’s not, it must be assumed MLB pulled rank?

I’m  assuming calm winds are in the forecast but if there is anything blowing out, this helps us with Framber on the mound.

[tx 3 putt 77,236]

Per the post game show last night, Astros decision and the Yankees agree’d 

[mbtex 683]

Got to have it open so all the smoke clears faster  from all our homeruns.

It's all good that the Astros no-hit the MFY back in June during the regular season against Cole.  You are crazy if you think for a picosecond that during the postseason we magically have a pitching advantage in this game because of this previous instance.

We have a pitching advantage, period.  Are you suggesting the Yankees have an advantage just because of Gerrit Cole?

Ain't skeered.

[Gourmand 7,774]

Javier has absolutely owned the Yankees lineup to the tune of 3H 1R 21 K 6 BB in 15 IP. NYY lineup has slashed .062/.182/.125 against him.
