I, for one, am glad this trip is over.

As the camera followed Altuve’s HR to the stands, someone in the Astros BP was circling the bases w/ his hand wave… Outstanding!

Nice to beat the Yankees in the game with Cole starting. Also, a 3-3 road trip to Tampa and New York is not bad.

Fucking, no. Pressly’s job is to go to ANY uncovered base.

Yanks announcers noticed four Astros fans receiving a lot of “attention” from the home crowd - so did Machete!
After his HR trot, he threw/tossed a ball to them.

PS: After being wrecked at the plate in Game 1, who would have thot he would appear in another game on this trip, much less CATCH the whole game and hit a HR today!!!

Well Sparks is going to take the pitcher’s side

And I’m gonna take the catcher’s side. I would prefer it had been Yuli too. Both just stood there. But good grief, Pressly in the center of the diamond…he was the closest guy to both 3B and home plate, and he stood on the mound and watched the game like he bought a ticket. You cannot leave the plate uncovered with runners on base. Period. Pressly has to see that.

Hey, I am a pitcher too…or was. I also know the rules of defense. Pressly should have been there, especially if Yuli was not on his way there. Infield hit; Yuli must be at the first base bag initially.

Just watched a replay. Seems like Pressly had his back to the plate watching the play on the ball. Needs to be a lot of talking on a play like that.

Yordan’s hitting two off Cole is encouraging.

I fully expect to see Alvarez for Sanchez trades start.

Encouraging and deeply satisfying.

Yep. Lots encouraging today…Yordan…Machete finally getting a few knocks, including putting a good swing on a fastball…Altuve drowning out the cheers and coming through in the clutch…finally denting that Yankee bullpen…a couple of nice inning ending double plays late…the bad was a meatball to Stanton and the defensive brain freeze in in the 8th, but overall, lots of good things.

Bregman play to end it was stellar.

You can start Tucker for Stanton.
