THERE'S ONLY ONE POSTSEASON (thread for 2019)

let's FINISH EM, JV

i'm hoping Stanton will make the last out while reinjuring himself and the Stankee fans can boo him a la the Philthy fans and Ryan Howard.

never change, Gary

the rare stankee-philthy combo

"let's" ?

1986 must be a very long time ago

just warmin' up for when calstars gets here, mook

2015 is closer than 2009, H

I was referring to whichever team "let's" was in the '86 WS

DJLM!

calstars hanging me out to dry

not a safe space

Verlander just doesn't have the kind of character you need to be a great postseason pitcher. His mystique is crumbling by the second.

brb gotta change my shorts

Cheaptrot #2

lol

Boone looks like Hank Azaria

maybe build a real ballpark next time

The setup for Chapman to blow it is slowly forming.

wow that was a fast 1-2-3

NYY has their 4 runs

plenty of empty seats downstairs

must be Rudy's and the fugitives he was gonna bring

isn't it hockey season for you now?

which sport is that? the one with the pigskin?

the radio ads aimed at business travelers remind me there are worse things than disease

Chirinos and Paxton both thought that was gone.

Possibly prescient. I didn't expect Verlander to go so deep or not to give up any more runs. Now that Paxton's out (he was great)...

tbf it's hockey season for me

i was provoked

Álvarez Is completely lost in the playoffs.

oh, i don't mind -- i love hockey

TEXASS BOUND

A Yankees game under 3 hours, what in the world.

That was the best case scenario for the Yankees -- good start by Paxton, hardly any pitches thrown by the relievers, made the Astros' offense look bad.

This series officially has me worried now about a possible Yankees win.

psh, y'all are talking about momentum

you think the astros wouldn't have been pleased to know they'd have six and seven at home up 3-2?

I don't believe in momentum in these games

Houston came into tonight's game w/ plenty of it

sort of expected to be down 3-2 going back down there

Hinch, don't you dare fucking "save" Cole for a Game 7...

He will. I smell a fucking disaster.

you spelled party wrong

Starting G6 on short rest is inviting disaster though. The Astros have a solid, rested bullpen for G6 and Cole on full rest in G7 -- I can't really argue with that.

Starting pitchers are still listed as TBD on MLB's site (by the way, I like CCR better than BTO)...I thought after the delay Cole would be on full rest tonight.

While starters (or "openers") haven't been announced for tonight, the managers indicated last night that a G7 wd be Cole vs Severino.

Future Yogi Berra: in an interview with Hazel Mae, Josh Reddick said the thing that links all his postseason teams is that they "didn't know when to stop quitting."

may I suggest 2021

YUUUUUUUULI

just turned the game on and was surprised to see Peacock pitching. for some reason i thought Cole was going.

IT'S THE bULLPEN gAME, tt
