See, that's what I've been saying. This team shows no ability to beat Houston and Houston is going to probably be in the ALCS waiting for us. The only bright spot of game 2 was we actually out hit them for once.

I wish they would go and get help. but the quote from Boone is why I hate him and why he needs to go and Cashman and Hal need to get them help.

"I understand it's a big story," he said. "I understand the season we're in. It's not going to matter unless (it's) October. If we happen to come back here in October we're going to show up. We're going to expect to win. We think we're really good. They're really good. Don't overstate this."

Why the heck aren't you "showing up" now? The Astros are currently the Yankees biggest rival. All you did was prove once again to your fans that you can't beat the Astros which means you probably will get bumped out of the playoffs as usual and you didn't show up for these 2 games like they were meaningless? You're still fighting that same team for home field advantage.

I just feel like always, this is going to be another wasted season where we fans are so excited from their play during the season and then come up empty at the end of the year.

This team could have 10 more wins than they do and George wouldn't have went after Soto. he had no problems opening up his wallet for the best talent out there whether it worked out or not.

King almost got himself out of it and I don’t blame the loss on him but I would’ve liked to see Judge, Rizzo and carpenter in the 10th with the ghost runner at second.

Just handicapping themselves with that decision. He has a higher batting average than the rest of the Yankees, makes contact, and Houston has only 1 lefty that he would need to sit against or not do so well if he's in the game. A stupid decision!

Game 2 scoring 5 runs off a pitcher just back from a rehab assignment and scoring the other 2 off of a pitcher who will not even be on the Yankees playoff roster isn’t exactly domination either. If anything letting the Yankees get the tying run to the plate with a 5 run lead going into the 9th inning is in fact less than dominating when the Yankees looked like crap all day.

It's a pretty pathetic fan base when you're in the second half of the season and you only have 23 posts in your fan thread; one that wasn't even started until July.

Or it could be we all know how many Astros hating trolls there are on this message board and don't feel the need to feed them.

That's dumb. There are a lot of Red Sox fans who hate Yankees and vice versa, but it doesn't stop any of us from talking about our teams and occasionally trolling the other side.

I mean it's sad when a thread on a single player from your team is bigger than your entire team thread. I guess it needs to be though when you are constantly trying to convince everyone he can play the field instead of just being a DH.

Well I'm happy for you.
You keep on cheering on your teams thread, I'll keep cheering on my team.

I would imagine people are trying to convince he plays the field instead of only DHing...but he's DHed in 42 games and played the field in 32 games. A little closer than I actually thought. Stanton has played 35 at DH and 35 in the field. So could say the same for him just about.

Well, the Yanks are done with the Astros for the rest of the season but their performance against them was concerning. Just forget about it and move on.

Astros are getting Lance back soon and always make a last second splash at the deadline so hopefully the Yanks can figure out their pitching come October.

Awwwww that’s how you made yourself feel better?

Astros absolutely dominated the Yankees this year (yes it’s the regular season) don’t try to put a spin on it. The Yankees didn’t start 1 inning in 7 games with a lead and they hit .151 in the series. How is that not total domination?? That’s actually even lower than Joey Gallo’s average.

It’s hilarious for you to say the Astros thread only got upped bc they beat the Yankees. The same Yankees whose fan base chants about Altuve even when they aren’t playing the Astros.

It’ll be a disservice to baseball if these 2 teams don’t meet in the ALCS but until proven otherwise the Astros own the Yankees and they entire fan base and have for 5 years running. You can try to tell yourself anything to make you feel better but the numbers don’t lie and the AL runs through Houston

I've done nothing here that would be considered trolling. I go to the thread of every team the Astros play. I like to see what other team's fans have to say while playing the Astros.
Never been a fan of trash talking. I think it's pretty lame to be honest.
I do think the "our team's official thread" is better/bigger/busier than your team's official thread to be pretty amusing as well though.

[SethMurphy]

German's performance makes the need for a starting pitcher even more glaring now.

Monty pitched really well yesterday, but we are going to need to make the move for Castillo ASAP.

Severino just isn't going to last even if he comes back shortly, and there is absolutely regression still coming from Jamo and Nestor.


I love dabbling in the go get Soto talk, I really do and he is an incredibly rare talent. But this team needs pitching or we are getting bounced.

[BdotHobbs]

Bottom line if these 2 teams don’t face each other in the ALCS it’ll be a disservice to baseball.

But no Yankees fan is trying to say Stanton should be the AL MVP and then trying to give 500 reasons why he's not just a DH and horrible in the field.

I agree but if the Yankees get knocked out by them again, I will lose it.

But what good is having another pitcher when they all did well (except for yesterday) against the Astros. As pointed out earlier by an Astros fans, the Yankees bats were miserable against the Astros. That is a cause for alarm.

If Stanton was having a good year I would imagine people would be spinning it the same way, I know you understand that. I also think Yordan should just DH and not play the field. He's a liability out there and should just stick to being a DH but that's my thoughts. No DH has ever won MVP and it won't start this year even though Yordan is having a great season.

I had to look that up as I thought the chemical fraud Ortiz won, but he never won an MVP.

It seems Alvarez has been playing the field more lately, as when that argument first started, it was a little more lopsided the number of games at DH verse left field.

Nope he never won one. A DH would have to put up insane numbers to win the MVP. Playing the field some I guess could help Yordan's but he's still a DH. he's going to have over half his games at the DH position. Sure he's going to play the field quite a bit but not enough to be considered a full time outfielder. Hell Brantley is almost 50/50 between DH/OF.
