Can anyone explain why gm 3 is at 3pm on a tuesday?

TBS paid good money to televise the NLCS, so MLB probably told them they would have some prime time games. This will help TBS recoup some of their money by charging prime time rates for ads.  Just a guess.

The MLB tries hard to actively not recruit new fans.....

That doesn't sound right...

Bomb by Altuve in the 1st.  Left the bases loaded, but Severino’s pitch count way up 

[PhatMack19]

Reddick bomb!

 

2-0 Astros Top 2

17 min delay to change umpire. Anyone know why or what happened?

Ump got hit by two foul tips to the mask.

Direct TV, channel 106, Astros in 4K.

Altuve scores on a wild pitch, Gurriel hits a sac fly to score Brantley, 4-0 Astros going into the bottom of the 7th.

Three outs away from a 2-1 series lead.  Love a little padding in top of the inning.

GO to 3rd.  GO to SS.  Single.  HBP.  Infield Pop Up.

Going to bottom 9th.

 

[baddog]

Torres with a solo shot. Stros need to win at least one in NY to bring it home. 3 outs away now. Let’s go Stros.

[baddog]

Hagar, I was posting when you were. lol

Astros WIN!!!!

[Hagar]

Yankees - FO to CF.  FO to CF.  GO to SS.

Astros win 4-1

[PhatMack19]

Great win.  Cole is the man.  Pay the man! 

 

Interesting decisions coming if tomorrow’s game is rained out.  Stick with Urquidy for game 4 or go with Grienke on full rest?  That would put Urquidy starting game 6

 

Either way the Yanks will have to win 2 of 3 from Greinke, JV and Cole.  I like our chances.

Absolutely...man can hold down the Yankees without his best stuff until it kicked in in the 5th.

Yankees fans are the worst. I couldn't even hear the post game show because of the disrespectful chants.

Are you surprised?.  Try going to a Red Sox yankees game.  Then get on the subway with the fans of both teams.  It’s horrible.  I was 22 At the time.  6’ 5” 225 college athlete and I was wanting off that subway fast.  I was just waiting for all hell to break loose with that many drunks in one place and With no way to get away.

I'm glad they took him out. He was making some questionable pitch calls after the hit.

This Twitter thread breaks down some of the options pretty well.

Very good break down.

Perfect world for Astros would be they win tomorrow, Verlander closes it out in New York Friday, Cole gets game 1 start in WS and Verlander gets game 2 start on full rest.

Not at all.

[WOSdrummer99]

Tanaka wont be as dominant the 2nd time we see him. Let's just hope Greinke can get it together

I think it benefits the Astros. Yanks have to win 3 of 4 and have no more off days to rest their pen. It does help the Yanks in the sense of slowing down the Astros momentum though. 

[baddog]

What about Peacock? I also have no problem with Uriquidy.

The year the Astros won the WS, we showed the Yanks we could hit Sabatia, showed the Red Socks we could hit Sale, and showed the Dodgers we could hit Kershaw. When those things happened, the opponent was toast. Other teams have great pitchers, but not like Verlander and Cole. Our bets need to win this for us. We need to hit Tanaka
