Verlander is obv a big postseason asset, when frontline pitching gets more work, but Astros did Ok w/out him for 90 games or so.

Not sure why Gurriel thought it was so important to advance to third on that play, but I guess the damage was already done.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 17 October 2017 23:16 (six years ago) link
it seems conceivable that he was trying to draw a throw -- i thought there might be a close play at the plate -- but i'm guessing he was just over-aggressive. and third is a nicer place to be with one out
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 17 October 2017 23:29 (six years ago) link
The Astros completely blew the rundown there.
I'm still not sure why Devenski was pulled so quickly -- do the Astros have any middle relievers who are better?

I'd say it's a stunning collapse, but considering the state of the Houston bullpen, it's not all that surprising.

the yankees winning the pennant at all this year is just disgusting to think about
i do not & will never want the yankees to win anything but this team is likeable to me i see it

qualx, shame on you for giving up on this series already, you must be one of those Momentum clowns!

btw before he redeemed himself with the batting heroics, Judge nearly making 3 outs on the basepaths in one inning was LOL.

if the astros ended up winning the series...
last time two 100-game winners faced each other in the world series was...1970? reds vs o's?
― Currently (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 03:55 (six years ago) link
it's kind of crazy to see how often, in the last 20 years, 100-game winners have been eliminated before reaching the WS:

― Currently (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 03:56 (six years ago) link
that's baseball, etc etc
Scrolled through, and you're right--1970. A number of times one side was one or two wins short. Tried searching most-total-wins for a Series, but you need the right search term or you just get the Yankees for most total Series wins.

w/out looking it up i know that the year before, the Mets had 100 and the Orioles... 107? (looksup; 109)
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 20:23 (six years ago) link
I also remember that I was wearing a junior-size Mets jacket in 1970 and a nun in my parish who was from Baltimore japed at me, "You better get a jacket with the Orioles on it."
