2017 ALCS - New York Yankees vs Houston Astros

that play was the opposite of altuve in game 2

Morton's done, right?

I'd figure if they are going to a starter out of the pen you would start on a clean inning.

TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVES

it's happening!!

mvp

such a groaner

Judge ain't 12 feet tall, eh

i don't want a good game i want a blowout

"he may not be a judge, but he rules at the plate AND on the field"

mccann !

awoooo

kahnle was pitching p well but was walking a tightrope idk joe mayve wanted a lefty v mccann~

"Here comes the man," sez closed captioning.

will the Guardians of Protocol find Altuve's delayed bat flip acceptable?

WHO WILL BE THIS YEARS TACO HERO

There is a while to go. Houston's got a playoff rep for pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory.

no stolen bases means no tacos

"500!"

fuck the yankees

just wanted to get that out

McCullers looked good in his start and looks good tonight.

I'm somehow picture Mike Scott or Joe Niekro slowly sauntering into the clubhouse with a nail file palmed to give to the current Astros pitching staff.

@Feinsand
Reminder: The Yankees are paying $5.5 million of McCann's $17 million salary this season.

these commercial breaks are so fucking long

TURN BACK YOU POXY RUHLE

"You've gotta execute." -- John Smoltz

at this point i'm starting to suspect Judge enjoys striking out.

What was it? 14 curveballs in a row? last two sings were identical. McCullers must be pinching himself.

No player would benefit from switching to the Astros and their hitting approach more than Judge.

McCullers has literally thrown nothing but curves for the past two innings?

YYEESSS!!

FUCK OFF YANKEES

my guess is altuve and JV could be co-MVPs

GO HOOOOOOOOOOME

This was certainly one way to get around the problem of having a crappy bullpen. Congrats Astros!

super impressive by morton/mcullers

McCullers said "Everyone wrote us off"?!

must be first franchise to win both league's pennants?

Larry Mullen Jr is a god

"We have no problems, Houston." JESUS.

i completely 100% always forget that the astros won the pennant in 2005

i can only ever think of the pujols HR so my brain keeps thinking the cards won

and i have a very clear memory of the white sox winning but not vs houston, it's weird to even imagine them in the WS before now

if you'd sat through the 18 inning ALDS Astros-Braves game you'd remember

oh wait, they were still in the national league then

Lance McCullers finished the game by throwing 24 consecutive curveballs. That is absurd.

what a performance by former pirate great charlie morton

I did sit through that game! my brain also remembered it being vs the cards and not the braves lol
