    20 plus pitches for the astros closer. I don't understand why he didn't bring someone else to close it.

    The key to beating CC is to get him early. I would have the first 3 guys bunt on him. They are all very fast. Make him get his fat body off the mound to get the ball and twist and throw. That could affect his gimpy legs and it will definitely piss him off.

    Verlander has an insane clutch pitching stats when pitching in an elimination game.

    Hinch over managed last night by bringing in Giles. Terrible move that may cost them the ALCS.

    Agree 100% with a700. Need to bunt on CC early.

    CC has a chance for an improbable run in the postseason with a dominant performance tonight.

    Gun to my head MFY win.
    other names i have posted under: none

    We can hit Morton and we feast on that pen. I have to assume Keuchel is their long reliever. CC probably has Gray or Tanaka as his long reliever. KRob fell apart yesterday, but I bet Joe has him in there for an inning if needed. Green is probably cooked. Warren and Kahnle can go multiple. I’d assume Aroldis is in for 2 tonight. Betances also returned to form last night too, but I’d assume he’s left out in a pivotal game 7 unless it’s out of reach. Sucks that I’ve got to work tonight, but if this is the last rodeo of the 2017 Yankees, then it’s been a hell of a ride. I never presume to know which team will win a game 7. Go Yankees

    Keuchel threw 86 pitches Wednesday night. What about McCullers?

    McCullers could come in on 3 days test and give you 5 innings at least.

    McCullers is assuredly in their pen. He’s a guy who has fatigue issues, though. He threw a lot of pitches in game 4 and coming out on short rest would have to be a true short stint. He’s a boom or bust kind of guy as well. This is going to be interesting for sure

    Play of the game last night was Springer's catch near the CF wall. He doesn't catch that and it might have been a completely different ball game.

    Verlander has been awesome since being traded to the Astros.

    Love 7th games. Yanks knocked off Cleveland, and now brought this to 7th game, against tough team, who really had no problem with us, I'll go with the Vet Sabathia and Yanks BP.
    One last thing, Judge hits HRS in bunches, he has hit them in this series, and 1 last night, I predict, he hits one tonight.

    Astros have to hit in those situations.
