If the Yankees cannot beat the Astros in the Bronx, I don't see how they're going to pull another miracle off as they did prior in Houston. If anything this series is proving the Yankees have not grown too far beyond the 017 ALCS, can"t hit the finessing of this Stto's SP Staff. I really thought the four-game series in Houston I proven otherwise, that Yankee batters have made the adjustment. Judge seems to have made some adjustments tho'.
And an explosive offense like the Yankees can make their own subpar or average pitching look good, don't we all know better ... ***Rash-man Thrasman is fooling nobody and the Yankees will not advance to an LDS/ALCS/World Series without a Major Improvement(s) 2 both SP/RP Staffs. Costas is no Ernie Harwell... I'd rather listen to a drunken Harry Caray. The era of Great Game announcers is in a demise, yet such creates great opportunity for the cream to rise to the top. ***1 would think a MLB Owner especially t/NYY's would know when they have an ass rash or a hemorrhoid symptoms...
Jesus...why didn't DiDi tag on that fly from Hicks?...especially with no one out at the time? This is simple Baseball 101.
Here is a pretty good article on the drafting of Judge Dredd... a good post game read... Here's how the Yanks landed Judge in '13 Draft https://amp.mlb.com/278026828-oral-...aron-judge.amp.html?__twitter_impression=true
Does anybody give a fuck that Bob Costas does not use Twitter??? Costas head is as far removed from this game as Torres is right now
If Boone had any balls he'd set Torres on the bench for a game or 2, maybe DH Him for a couple games, imho...
Five, count them five effing errors!!! Yanks are lucky this game is still close, with five errors it could be well Out Of Reach...
I wouldn't even let him DH...sit him, and in the long run, it might actually help him...Boone needs to let some of these guys know that their play is not acceptable.
^^^^^ That first pitch strike one judge was halfway to the ankles from below the knees. Agreed Boone needs to grow a pair; & he acts like he has to have permission to do anything... Trashman and the kids obviously were intimidated by Joe Girardi, opting for a puppet man

...there are a few places but I think Fangraphs or PITCHf/x has got the best handle on the technology.
Bird just saved what would have been Torres' 3rd error of the game and the Yanx' 6th error of the game.
Thanks MLB needs to count attendance differently in my opinion. I noticed the bombers have the 2nd highest attendance, behind only the bums. Actual Turnstile clicks should be compared to ticket sales. 1 attendance number we will never see is how many fans are in the Park from the seventh inning on. If Yankee Stadium were in Chavez Ravine three-quarters of the ballpark would be empty by now. Lalaland has 95% fair weather un-informed fans, t/most pitiful I've ever seen, (other than Michael's description of Tampa fans, at least TB fans have a legit excuse 4a sauna stadium). As I've said many times before- 80-90% of LA stadiums, empties during the 7th inning stretch. As they attempt 2 get a jump on beating freeway traffic; which causes its own Freeway Jam. Wait 30 minutes after the game's over and the freeways are clear. No excuses in LA. Yankee fans could teach angelinos a thing or two about baseball and being a fan, in lieu of being blatant homers.
