I'm not scared of the Yanks considering the way the Astros outplayed them all year, but I am nervous af about the offensive funk and the anything-can-happen nature of playoff baseball. 

I'm actually excited to play the Jankees primarily because Altuve is 0-16 with a walk in the postseason so far.  If there was any squad on the planet who will bring him back to life it's the Jankees.

This is exactly where I’m at and said way better than how I tried to communicate it to a buddy last night

Anyone know the particulars of NYY arriving in Houston last night and what time they got to the team hotel? How long did the clubhouse celebration last?

As a gesture of goodwill, the Astros had Neris send over his hangover cure, so they will unfortunately be at full strength by tonight.

Were they able to get into their hotel or did they they have to split them up due to overbooking?

We kinda have to win tonight, don’t we?

They’re throwing taillon. We’re throwing the Cy young award winner.
They arrived at 1:10am last night.
We been sleeping in our own beds for 3 nights…


 

 

We’re going to lose, aren’t we.

The rust factor is a very real concern in my head.

Almost always the layoff thing goes the wrong direction in MLB more than any other sport.  We lost game 1 in 2019 and then went on to win the next 3.  Obviously we had Cole back then and now they do.

That why game 1 will be very important.. Maybe we kick off the rust against Tallion and sneak away with the victory.. Or the odds are in our favor because we only scored 1 run in our last 18 innings and water will find its level.

Very much this.

If we played this series 20 times, I think we'd win 13 or 14 of them.

But we only get to play it once.  

We really need JV to shut them down tonight and turn up the pressure.

Well Mancini is #26 so this is probably something he would do

Well that number came randomly to me even though I know he is 26 so I feel the stars are aligning. MVP Mancini. Show me a loss.

So I guess Chas is the regular CF now? Surely we aren’t starting Dubon in the ALCS.

One would hope, but JV is on the mound tonight….

 

I think we can all agree the only time we want to see Dubon is catching final outs in 18 inning marathons. (Or better yet not even that and instead in the background slamming buds after the series for doing absolutely nothing)
