    Astros just blew the series. Up 4-0 in 7th up 2-1 in series

    Damn

    With much chagrin, I tend to agree. Now that the bullpen of the Astros is lacking in confidence, I don't think they can win both games that Verlander and Keuchel start.

    Do the Yankees ever get punitive rulings for their fans interfering with fly balls at the wall in playoff games? I thought the Astros were deprived of a shot at throwing out the hitter at 2nd and he should have been sent back to first. I thought Correa blew the play(assisted by Altuve) when Headley fell down between 1st and 2nd, giving them an out they didn't take! Should have held the ball and ran at him until he committed one way or the other.

    First he throws one over 6' short, then he throws one 6' wide that Rizzo snares and gets a lucky swipe tag on the foot. Then I loved his expression when he went to the bench after being ruled out, which looked like 'I thought you guys said I could get off as far as I wanted!'. If I was on the bench I would have said 'yes, but you can't be dumb enough to go back to first if he tries to throw over - head immediately to 2nd!'

    Turner with the same good choice that Frazier made to let the bunt roll and hopefully go foul before it hit 3rd base. Unfortunately for him the Wrigley field is groomed differently than the Yankee's field!

    Agree....should’ve waited for Headly to return another step or two towards first

    Astros in deep trouble as Yanks take a 2-0 lead against Keuchel and they are down to having only 12 outs left against Tanaka and the bullpen.

    Yankees are rolling...having good fortunes and pitchers are drilling edges and changing speeds.

    That Contreras HR was incredible. I didn’t think he had that in him

    "That's just the way it is, in the big leagues" they say on the telecast when the ump calls a ball on a pitch by Arrieta that was clearly well in the zone and should have been strike 3 for the 3rd out in the 7th. They say it was because the catcher set up on the inside and the pitch was on the outside and the catcher had to reach across his body to catch it. Just one of the things that has no merit, just like "so long as he is consistent and calls all pitches that are 3" outside strikes". Please just let the k-zone call the balls and strikes to tremendously improve the fairness!

    Wolf should be fired as soon as the game is over.

    When is he going to fizzle? Because he hit his 39th HR last night and is absolutely raking this postseason.

    Loving it.

    Feel bad for the "real" fans of the Cubs, but most of them are jokes. Was just at a bar and 90% of the people there wearing Cubs gear weren't even upset about what was happening.

    Cubs pitching not strong enough and Zobrist got old overnight.

    Dodgers look incredible and bench is crazy loaded with legit veterans.
