    Btw if you are going to sit in the front row of the outfield you better not be hiding your head when a home run ball is coming to you

    Chapman closes out the game for the wrong side. Go ahead Chapman, opt out of your contract you aint worth a shit anyway.

    Terrible to allow Altuve to kill them but that's what you get for walking a guy with two outs.

    Especially with the weak hitting lefty Maria nick on deck. Boone should have ordered the walk at

    After he fell behind how do you call for a high slider? Makes no sense when he kills the high pitch.

    One of the thoughts from guys who cover the team is there will be more changes than we think. I agree with them as all the regular season wins in the world don't matter when you see a lineup come up so small again in the postseason. They didn't face Verlander and Cole every game.

    This is the fourth ALCS loss since 2010. This is also the third time the Astros have eliminated them in that span. This offseason will be vital because these windows can close very quickly.

    Felt bad for Gardner, LeMahieu, GT, and Urshela, those guys were all around cowboys on both sides of the dish. As for the rest not so much so. Disappointed in the poor offense of Judge with no expectations at all for Stanton ( the newest Ellsbury) or Sanchez. Felt that Romine would have been the better choice for the in game catcher. There were many coulda, shoulda, woulda incidents in this series but the Yankees in the end were simply out played. From the '15 Season forward I watched an average od 140 games per year. Come game time I was right there but that won't happen in Twenty. I'm quite sure at Day 1 of Spring Training will find Steinbrenner, Cashman, and Boner right back in charge. Sorry boys, I've caught you act and it stinks.

    Just too many bats coming up small in the post season. Gardner for example is a sub .200 hitter in over sixty career playoff games. It's not all his fault and he has done a lot for this team. But when you have a team built to try and win you can't ignore this futility.

    No one looks more serious about his trade than Gardner. He carries that serious look into every game. I think Cashman will sign him to another contract mostly because he stays healthy and compared to Stanton, can produce more consistently .

    I just don't like his postseason career numbers. Under .200 in 61 games you cannot have that in every postseason game.
