DonKnock Presents: We Doing, Big Pimpin up in N.Y.C. [HOU - NYY] ALCS Thread

[Derek Lee]

Cole had his B stuff and still tossed seven scoreless.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Absolutely pathetic.

And I don't think it's going to get any better especially with the corpses in the lineup.

It won’t. Gardner is a .205 playoff hitter with a .265 OBP and Hicks is a .196 playoff hitter. Adding Gary and EE to the problem, and it’s like 2012 where Jeter and Tex were the entire offense. If judge, DJ, or Torres are off, they’re lucky to get on the board at all.

That inning allowed Cole to get comfortable and pitch a quick 1-2-3.

 

[IGSaint12]

As I said, we need whole sale changes to how we value hitting, these low average/high homer hitters get exposed in the playoffs.

 

[NYChase718]

Sure the bats are letting us down, but that decision to start Ottavino took away any hope of coming back. Goes back to game 2, Green wasn’t struggling. Kahnle just got out of an inning with no issues.

If your going to pitch Britton then do it anyways from the jump.

Even tanakaz gem
First thing they did wen they saw ottavino was play tee ball

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Not all of us did...

Me and a couple of brehs been saying it since July, you can't win in October without reliable SP...

I honestly cannot believe Cashman did not make a move for another arm...

I'm not buying this everyone wanted Torres shyt...

Who the fukk was Cashman asking for????????????

Pitching hasn’t even been bad. The offense has completely fallen off a cliff. Half our hitters look like the guy from the orioles out there. That being said, cashman should be in the unemployment line if he doesn’t get at least 2 reliable starters with 1 of them being an ace.

 

[holidayinn21]

This offense can't even score a measly fukking run....enough with the Boone shyt.

They're going up against the top-2 CY Young candidates breh

Trying to get 5-6 innings a game from your pen is not good

 

[LastManStanding]

Cole is usually at his best when his pitch count is at 85-115

 

[Derek Lee]

Cessa

This all goes back to the manger having no feel for the game and being way too dependent on internet nerd binder stats...

Both times he brought in Otto to pitch to Springer because the "season numbers" are favorable and both times it lead to big innings...

Never mind the fact Otto hasn't had a single easy out in any postseason game he's pitched...

Its retarded...

 

[VegetasHairline]

The way some of y'all are overreacting in here is

 

[Brozay]

do the Stros just hold Verlander / Cole for game 6/7 now? and just hope they can pickup one more game in NY without them?

 

[Derek Lee]

Joe Smith in

Facts. The more the Astros hitters see these guys, the better it is for them. Gotta have more trust in the starters. They also have to do their job as well.

That is true!

But they still should have a solid approach out there.

It seemed like when Cole got 2 outs they decided to have better approaches.
