Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 3301030, member: 2141"] I think the Yankees will win tonight; but will then lose the following game in Houston. As feared and for whatever reason, the big bats have gone cold in the playoffs, just like the prior years. Home runs are hard to come by in the playoffs with better pitching, better managers, and cold air. Outside of LeMahieu and Judge (Torres was hot game 1 and 2, cold since), the line-up has done nothing, especially #4 through #9. The Astros' starters have not been dominate as the Yanks have had a lot of guys on base; but, the Yanks can get in key hits to bring in the runs. The Astros have been able to get those hits. As for tonight, put Stanton at Dan Hurley and bench Encarnación. If Boone has a spine, bench Sanchez, too, and put in Romaine. Sanchez is quickly turning into this generation's version of ARod in the playoffs, which is not good. Someone also need to talk to Torres and get him to relax, I feel that's he's pushing too much. It's a team game and he cannot nor should be expected to do everything. Ottavino should not even dress tonight in order to avoid tempting Boone to put him in. My hat is also off to CC, who looks to be done. The guy's a warrior. Not the end anyone wanted for him; but, just wanted to say thanks for everything. Also, my middle finger to the idiot fans in Right Field harassing Greinke about his mental health and other things plus throwing stuff on the field. Ribbing a guy's performance or roasting him for being on the other team is sports; but there is a line and those guys crossed it and deservedly got ejected. [/QUOTE]
