One thing that’s intrigued me in this post-season is calling the Yankees the Baby Bombers

From today and yesterday’s starting nines, they’re the third oldest of the last four teams.

Last year’s Cubs were ridiculously young with David Ross, the backup catcher, distorting the numbers.

Yanks have Judge, Sanchez and Bird 25 or under
Dodgers have a more even spread with only their Aaron Francis - Justin Turner - over 30.
Cubs are the youngest with only one starter over 30 and 6 25 or under
Astros are distorted by Beltran’s 40 while Gurriel and McCann are 33

Anyway, hope the Dons have taken out a copyright on Baby Bombers for our 3 incarnations.

Astros up 3-0 and with us looking absolutely clueless against Verlander it appears that we are heading to game 7

Not so fast.

2 on, 1 out, top 7

And Verlander was 3-0 against Hicks before striking him out on 10 pitches

Should of been bases loaded with none out but another home town call went their way.
Frazier was inches away from levelling it

Yanks should never complain about home town calls.

Verlander out and Judge hits Peacock for a huge homer.

Massive bomb

Altuve responds. Not huge, but far enough.

It’s over now.
They have won 3 games this series with 2 being down to Verlander pitching the lights out.
He won’t be there tomorrow to drag them over the line

Stros with the chance to break it wide open. Correa and Gurriel follow Altuve with a double and a single. Still no outs.

Bregman doubles them both in. Sanchez might have tagged out the second runner but dropped the throw. Scored as an error on the shortstop’s throw.

Really want the Yankees to win tomorrow.

With that said, if the Astros get thru my wife and I will be in Houston the same dates as game 6 and 7 of the World Series. Doubt we could get or afford tickets, but being in town for something like that would still be pretty cool.

Gattis homered in the 4th to put the Astros up

And a brilliant throw by Bregman and equally good tag by McCann nabbed Bird at home.

Morton has gone five scoreless and will be out.

Altuve has just homered to put the Stros 2 up. For a little fella, he packs a lot of punch.

And a 2-run 2-out 2-bagger by McCann puts them up 4-0

We are in deep strife. Girardi has lost the plot
