    If we don’t come back no one to blame but themselves. A million opportunities again and coming up empty every time

    Analytics, which unfortunately doesn’t take into consideration current performances which is all that really matters in a playoff scenario. The parrot, gardy and sanchez all in a row is disgusting

    They were great with runners in scoring position all year. Now they're clueless with just terrible at bats.

    The main differences between these 2 teams other than the fact that Houston has better pitching is that the Yanx have a line up full of batters swinging for the fences while the Astros have a line up full of Baseball players.

    I'm surprised they're not hurting themselves with how they're swinging.

    Fuck ups by Yankees for the ALCS...leaving Voit off the roster for CC. Not bringing Tauchman in for Stanton. Allowing Sanchez to continue to play. All that equals a manager for the team who doesn’t belong in the dugout and a GM that is vastly overrated in his job.

    When ST 2020 rolls around and we see Steinbrenner, Cashman, and Boner holding their same positions be prepared for another season of bull shit. I've probably watched 149+ Yankee Games a year since the '14 season all for naught. There are a lot more things to life than watching the Yankees flub the fucking dub because the leadership sucks. Ever since this franchise lost the '01 World Series and choked up a 3-0 lead over Boston is '04 it has been shit '09 excepted.

    The Astros are the better team. The Yankees don't hold the advantage anywhere.

    CC I agree with. Got too sentimental with someone that can’t help anymore. Voit would be of no use as he can’t field and ended the season in something like a 1 for 35 slump. Tauchman for Stanton I would have liked also. Again, letting personal feelings for Stanton not being able to play in a World Series that looks like a long shot now instead of worrying about the team only took priority. Lots of moves that backfired for Boone and not having the balls to make the moves he needed to. Cashman, again not spending the money the Yankees have to get that stud pitcher they needed instead shopping at the bargain store for pitchers. Good points 94!!

    I agree mess but I think a big part of the problem was some of their most productive hitters this season like sanchez and the parrot didn’t play at all the last month, no minor league rehab games and come back cold to hit against some of the best pitchers in baseball. Hicks hadn’t hit in 2 months!! Stanton, I surrender. Never seen a guy who looks like he does physically get hurt as much and in as many different places as he does. I think the Astros are the better team also but like 2017 we had a chance to beat them and just could not get the big hits when it mattered.
