If that happens, great but that is a fluke weather event that you can't count on. In terms overall planning/strategy, i think the yanks have butchered it.

What good is CC? He's incapable of any meaningful innings. My preference would have been another bat. Maybe that shortage was why Boone didn't pinch run for EE the other nite.
Also if that happens... then the last four games get played with no break. That's a serious issue for the bullpen as the Astros starters can go longer.
Ottavino gave up the HR because he hung a breaking ball middle-up in the zone to a very good hitter. The entire concept being forwarded by Smoltz that the Yanks bullpen use will give the Astros too much of a "look" in a long series is just ridiculous. I guess that theory didn't work so well when the Yanks took his Braves in the 1996 WS with Lloyd, Nelson, Rivera and Wettland pitching extensively in relief. It all comes down to pitch execution.
Surprised that they just don't move the series back a day. A possible game 7 moved from Sunday to Monday night might be great for Fox. Sunday they would have go up against Eagles Cowboys game.
Heard that a decision will be made today about cancelling tomorrow's game.

Maybe if Britton didn’t bounce a pitch a foot before the plate, he could stop it.
Damn it Tango stop merging threads already. Besides being annoying it causes confusion merging separate conversations to say nothing of having to now navigate a 40+ page thread
I wonder if he puts them on upset alert ...
For those that were thrilled coming back the Bronx with a split how do you feel now? Expecting to beat Cole in game 3 was possible but a longshot. Home field advantage back to Houston. Need to win the next two at home. And with the forecast of a rainout, that is another advantage to Houston.
He might think the game is in Houston.
The series is going as expected:
Split in Houston
Lose to Cole in NY
Win the next 2 in NY
3-2 heading back to Houston
Need to win the non-Cole game
Onward to the World Series!
:)
And it time to shelf Otta.
Going as expected has the Yankees losing the series.
Houston is 107 win team, it's a tough series. We need to get one in Houston. The fans that thought the Yanks would win in 4 or 5 after game 1 were nuts.
I never thought they would win at all when Cashmen didn't get Cole or another top end starter. He counted on Seve and Betances being back at the trade deadline. And the German suspension made it worse.
Altuve does whatever he wants vs Yankees. Yankees have nobody to equal him on their side. He's an amazing player
It's been a unique season with injuries, suspensions, and lack of trading partners. We need one big SP signing:
Tanaka
Sevi
Paxton
Cole / Madison B ***
Garcia
With Happ and German on the side as back-ups
Also, need to resign Betances and Chapman, if he opts out, and our bullpen is good to go.
If Chapman ops out let him go. He is no longer the guy they paid for.
And would love Stanton to have a great 2020 so he wants to op out next season too.

Not only garbage.ESPN says that full beer cans were thrown at the Astros' bullpen.
Its over. Reminiscent of the 2001 World Series when Curt Shilling and Randy Johnson were at the top of their game. Only, Houston is a better team than those Diamond Backs were in every way.
Maybe the Nationals have the pitching to compete with them but I doubt it. These Astros are a truly great baseball team.
So frustrating to watch the dominance.
Not with having to play 4 in a row after it.
Anyway there isn't one weather report that gives any hope that they can get this game in tonight. What is MLB waiting for. This isn't a game in mid June. This is an ALCS game. There was talk that they were going annouce the cancellation last night. But Washington clinched it so they have no game to move to prime time.
