 Death, taxes, and the Houston Astros are facing the New York Yankees in the ALCS. Same as it ever was. There’s really nothing much to say about this matchup. The Astros are here for the 6th year in a row after a thorough bashing of the Cinderella team that was the Seattle Mariners. The Yankees just keep switching surges with Boston, so it’s their turn for the ALCS, even if inclement weather kept postponing their games against the newly renamed Cleveland Guardians. These two will face off again, and again, and again. Think of the ALCS as the “control group” of the postseason. Though maybe with less rain delays as the Division Series. ALCS SCHEDULE

Verlander already struggling to locate  e: this is reminding me of his M's start. he's either over the fat part of the zone or way out of it with no in between Intruder fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Oct 20, 2022 |

Not an ideal start lol astros conceding a run if donaldson just hits it to the right side, I'm actually kind of looking forward to the shift being banned

20 pitches already is not good for Verlander. But that last pitch was stellar.

Im happy with that. He's out of the inning a few pitches earlier if the ball doesn't take a ridiculous hop. He could easily put up some low-pitch innings tonight.

Verlander vs Taillon to start a series definitely has a sobering and stressful effect. But hey. It’s baseball. Only takes one inning.

Verlander will maybe make it five innings 46 pitches through 2 lol e: and somehow the timing keeps working out that the Rockets game is on commercial between innings every time Annoying

45 pitches and a 1 read lead is far from the worst way to start this. Let’s see if Taillon can hold the line.
