The wind has nothing to do with striking out 30 times in 2 games.
Yes it does. The wind they created from all those swing and misses drastically effected the game
@@imsureyeah1094 😭
@@imsureyeah1094 Typical respons from someone who just cant accept responsibility. It is always someone else's fault. Grow up cupcake.
Exactly kal54321.
Yankees fan and that's a fact!!!!!
The ironic part is the Astros hate playing with the roof open. When the MMP roof is open, the Astros are more likely to lose, in fact they're 1-5 in postseason games when the roof is open. The MLB demanded the Astros to keep the roof open for game 2 because they wanted to remove some of the advantages for the Astros and keep the Yankees in the series. And yet, the Yankees still lost. And now, they're blaming the roof being open, which the MLB forced open TO HELP THE YANKEES, for losing.
LMAO
Mlb didn't force anything, it's up to the Astros numbnuts
Go read how its decided
The commissioner made the call, look it up.
@@arkhamknight6371 it was to help the Yankees. It didn't work.
@@MR.ROBOTVOLTRON no it wasn't, mlb n the ASTROS have to agree..Why would the Astros agree if it helps the Yankees, stop being a tool
We hate opening the roof. MLB wanted that and they probably thought it would benefit NY.
It's not so much that we just generally hate opening the roof at Minute Maid, it's that 95% of the season is in sweltering crushing heat in Houston ..lol. So, assuming we get to the post season, we get just a few weeks of open-roof baseball... and that's assuming that October itself is even cool enough... 😂
Go figure, huh?!
Nothing to do with MLB. To get the money to build a stadium with a retractable roof, the Astros had to bow and scrape to local politicians. There's actually a local law that if the weather meets certain standards (which it did for game 2) the roof MUST be open.
@@dentonyoung4314 actually it has everything to do with the MLB. During the post season the commissioner can make the call to have the roof open, whether Houston wants to or not.
Yankees wanted the roof open…I guess they didnt have the stadium to feel so loud with a closed roof
Thank you for saying it 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 we as Astros fans have been bullied for so long, and we just keep believing in our team that has gave us many joys in our worst times, that this is what we deserve now, smart people recognizing.. respect from a fan to another fan 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
It's also funny that the Astros have literally no control over the roof being open or not. The MLB chooses whether it is open or not, not the Astros
To the wise guy who showed up to the stadium with the sign that said Welcome Back Cheaters, he better change that sign to Welcome Back Winners because that’s exactly what we are. Winners. Not Whiners like cities like New York and Los Angeles because they can’t beat us.
It's amazing how quickly everyone forgave the trashcan mafia.
@@pokerone6489 cry your eyes out bro. Beat us or shut up
@@pokerone6489 Some Crisco, KY-Jelly, Vaseline, Astro glide, and other lubricants and anti-inflammatory therapies need to be purchased for your team to treat your team for the injuries that the Astros inflicted up in them.
The Yankee's exit velocity is the next two games.
"The roof is open, that's why they did that..." Bro these Yankees fans are desperate AF. MLB forced the Astros to open our roof. Now y'all have spent several days crying about the results...The results that were meant to give y'all an artificial edge and take away our home field advantage with our crowd.
Not me , until i see otherswise . Right now to me the astros have championship pitching and the yankees dont
Joke is, first game in Yankee stadium freaking McCormick of all guys hits one out to right.
I laughed out loud at 2:54. That just felt like such a desperate “I don’t know what else to do” statement 😂
Perfect that it was in response to TJ using the line, "moving some furniture around" 😆
Thanks Rick for acknowledging that the Astros are just that good.
17 strikeouts in game 1 LOL
17? Jeez, no wonder I've stopped watching baseball. That means only 10 at bats put the ball in play and like 5 of them are popup outs with another 3 groundouts. BOOOOOOOOOOOORING!!!!
Thats what happens when the offense only cares about hitting the ball as hard as they can
Let’s not forget Brantley is out for the Astros.
I mean, yeah. But its not comparable to DJ, Benintendi, Carpenter just back after 2 months out, Michael King, Holmes who hasn't been the dominant guy he was prior to injury, Chad Green.
I mean its next man up and no matter what, the result is the result. But without question, injuries derailed the Yankees this season. I can't think of a team that had more high impact injuries to so many key players for so long. I would have loved to have seen both teams in a series where they are healthy.
I doubt that , the astros no hit the yankees 4 months ago when they were healthy . And the injury excuse is lame . Padres are without tatis jr and still have one win in their nlcs . The phils have injuries too and are still 2 games out if the ws .
And let's not forget Bennentandi is out and Lemahieu is out
@@snerdterguson The Astros already proved they can beat a healthy Yankees team back in June/July which was the last time they faced each other. During that time, the Yankees were pretty dominate and still considered the best team in baseball (even above the Dodgers at that time)
Dude the people scoring are the players most people that no longer has any juice left in them plus the rookie. Maldonado and Guriel! What. And bregman was struggling for awhile and Mr always hits it Altuve is struggling. It's like you think they'll have a week spot and they surprise you. Granted their pitching is exceptional
OMG did that guy in the back say “well, that’s why they did it”??? Dude, the MLB forces the Astros yo open the roof. The Astros NEVER NEVER NEVER want the roof open. Dan, Yankee fans are so jaded 🤦🏼♂️
Banning the shift is the most mind-blowingly stupid "solution" to hitters being untalented and unable to hit it the other way. Makes players who can hit it to either field less valuable.
The Yankees are experiencing a serious case of sour grapes because they can't hit Astros pitchers.
Yep Nina.
Nor can the Yankees hit ANY good pitcher.
They need to rename yankees stadium "Smuckers" stadium.
The bulls to the 90s knicks. Damn, I feel that, like the warriors to my harden rockets
Or further back, 70s Steelers to Bum Phillips' Oilers.
Ah bruh. So many years being depressed with having an NBA finals championship team just to get beat up by the Warriors.
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the Yankees play in a stadium with no roof? Why hasn't the wind been an excuse in their stadium? Excuses excuses!!
‘Astros are now using the wind to cheat’😂
‘Stros hired God to help them cheat against the Yankees.
😂😂😂
Exit velocity is a good tool to utilize, but it’s not everything. Bergman’s homer was a no doubter and Judge’s fly ball wasn’t.
Im from England and four years got into baseball and now really into it but what I cant stand is all the statistical analysis. Exit velocity is really not a good tool to utilise to analyse in the context of a game. Its fine to assess a batter and see how they can improve it but exit velocity really is a nonsense in the context of the actual game.
Bregmans home run ball hit the train tracks and only a few people have hit it up there.
@@jamescook6564 I wasn’t aware of that, but was aware it was a shot.
@@johnnyboy2268 totally agree!!
@@jamescook6564 not to diminish the homerun but it's been way more than just a few
As a mariners fan, the fact that I'm rooting for Houston says a lot about the yankees. Stop whining and play better.
Yeah. Brantley is hurt for the astros too, just someone else has had to step up in critical situations like Jeremy Peña. Wind or injuries can't be excuses. It's either a homerun or not, you either catch the ball when it's hit or not, no excuses.
Astros are gonna win the series in 4 or 5
Now, I want to hear Eisen's reaction to the Game 3 Astros win.
And the sweep. LOL
Whoa! You Yankee guys have had it so good for so long. Compare your situation to mine. I'm a Tiger fan, can't
help it because that is where I grew up. We have only won 2 World Series in my life time. My revenge is through
Verlander. I'm hoping to see Verlander and Castellanos in the world series. Better luck next year!!!
Sorry man, I was hoping you guys woulda been better this year. From LA w 111 wins 🙂
The tigers have played in a WS more recently than the Yankees
@@anthonyvieyra2099 nice sore winner
@@brokenleveeIV I’m annoyed w the fuckin team lmao. I have my opinions, yk? But like nobody cares. If I say what I think I sound like I’m crying about it.
Thank you. Tiger fan here as well.
When a team makes excuses for a loss then you know they gave up and it's astros in 5...
That was my prediction before the series started . The only thing that surprises me about this series so far is how good the yankees pitching is . Its not championship caliber but its been better than i expected
4*
That was during the regular season when they over achieved in the first 2 months or so of the season . In the playoffs so far the pitching has given up an average of about 4 runs . Championship caliber pitching gives up an average of about 2 runs a game overall . Again the yankees pitching has been good to very good but it isnt championship caliber .
As a Yankee fan it’s embarrassing. BTW you might get a sweep.
As a Red Sox fan good. Waste them
Exit Velo is a postgame stat. A reflection stat. Not to be used for reasonings of why something did or didn’t happen during the game
If you want to talk about exit velocity, Altuve's last at bat has exit velocity higher than Judge's and yet it was a double play.
Yankees need to stop making excuses and start playing better. The series is not yet over but making excuses are for losers
Thats what you get from a defeated team that is hypnotized by analytics and lets it entirely control their play
The series is definitely over.
I'm sick of hearing Yankees players/fans excuses. Throughout the history of baseball, the Yankees have had a significant advantage over the rest of the league in payroll. Some of the tweaks have the last 20 years have blunted that somewhat, but it's still there. In this way, rooting for them is like rooting for the house in a casino. Just glad I lived long enough to see the team I've lived and died with for 40 years live rent free in their collective heads. It will be ironic if they lose the one generational talent they developed to free agency. Then the fan base can feel what folks in Oakland, Kansas City, Tampa, and a lot of others feel.
Yep, the Yankees are not high and mighty anymore and will never be again.
They are the Canadians and Packers of the MLB. They love to ride off the championships from the early MLB days when there was 8 teams.
Professional hitter Michael Brantley is hurt and would be nice to have in LF and in the lineup
No f**kn doubt! Yes the Stros are well but man I wish uncle Mike was in the lineup.
As a Yankees fan I have wanted the Yankees to sign Brantley each time he was available and they seemed to never show any interest in him for some reason. Exit velo means nothing if the ball doesn't go out the damn park!
“You catch the ball, you throw the ball, you hit the ball… YOU GOT IT?!”..
As fast as Bergman’s homer left. It was way faster than 91
Ask the commissioner who wanted the roof open.
Astros missing Micheal Brantley too a .300 hitter as well
Michael Brantley is hurt.
Last year, Lance McCullers Jr. and Justin Verlander were hurt for the Astros when they were playing Boston in the ALCS.
No excuses.
Shift hasn’t ruined anything. Hitters not trying to go the other way is what’s ruining the game.
Entitled teams, ie Yankees, very rarely if at all take responsibility for their weaknesses and failures……
I am a Yankees fan. Astros have more quality players. They seem to have good players in every position. The worst thing that can happen to Yankees is signing Judge and not improving in other positions. Look at the Angels.
New drinking game ... Every time they say Aaron Judge during the game do a shot . You will be trashed by the 3rd inning
This was by far the most entertaining clip you guys have put out
At least this man knows what he is saying and does not give excuses.
The commissioner made them open the roof
The Bulls/ Knicks analogy is the best I’ve heard
As a Cubs fan I'm sure happy Astros moved to American League 9-10 years ago. There's likely a lot of other National League fans who think the same, especially NL Central fans(Cubs, Cardinals, Brewers, etc.). At time of move, though, Astros weren't very good.
I found the wind excuse absurd. Conditions are same for both teams. I'm 72 and have unhappy memories of all those wind aided homers by road teams in Wrigley Field. Astros took advantage of short right field porch in game 3, while Yankees put up a big ZERO. Now Yankees are out of their misery. I liked the Bulls/Knicks analogy. Knicks got by Bulls once in the 90's when Jordan was temporarily retired, and it took 7 games to do it with home team winning all 7 games.
And the Knicks only beat the Bulls in 1994 thanks to a very questionable foul call at the end of Game 5.
The problem with their theory?
The Astros two best power hitters, Alvarez and Tucker are left handed and hit primarily to right field.
What will the next excuse be Yankees?
Sounds more like "Too high" from Major League.
Watch Rocky IV. Ivan Drago had all the analytics... Rocky had heart. Sometimes you just need to play the game to best of your ability and screw the numbers.
Bottom line, they didn’t hit dee ball far enough. Ferget the velocity, get more hits.
A completely perfect and apt Bull Durham reference
That deep breath at the end, sounds like a lot of stress about his team.
Nothing quite like a Bull Durham reference. "You throw the ball. You catch the ball. You hit the ball."
Apparently Minute Maid and the Astros control the weather, which is nothing new 🙄🙄
that is a perfect analogy
Glad to see that there is an East coast sports journalist who has some honesty about other teams besides the Yankee's and Red Sox. Who's your Daddy??? Astros!!!!
The Astros can’t control when the roof is open during the playoffs
Did I see a 'Balk" when Alvarez was tagged-out at 1st ?
Astros postgame radio guys talked about that when a caller called in asked about it.
They certainly thought that pickoff was a balk
💘 the Bull Durham reference. Go Astros!!!!
SABRmetrics explains a lot, but I think it misses a lot of factors as well, and instead of trying to adjust for those factors they just want to chalk it all up to luck. Bill James revolutionized baseball because he used math to see things that no one else saw and that no one else was willing to see. Now his disciples have become the hardliners unwilling to consider new approaches.
Here are the most important analytics: number of hits (too low) and number of strikeouts (too high).
Now it's 3-0 Astros. Yup looking like a sweep
Finish the series tomorrow.
Confirmed sweep now
Swept em. Enjoy the close?
The Yankees exit velocity walking from the dugout to clubhouse post Game 4 was 3 mph.
It must suck to be a Wolverines, Jets, Yankees fan. Constant sorrow.
MMP was built differently than open air parks, even with the roof open the only time wind would be a factor is in left field.
This ALCS is demonstrating why a Three True Outcomes team is at a disadvantage when they play a baseball team. 3TO teams need to be hot and stay hot to win. A baseball team can overcome that.
I love the Bull Durham reference there Rich
I’m dyinggggg😂😂😂
They just got 3 hit shut out, 🤣🤣🤣🤣What's the excuse now? RESPECT THAT ASTRO'S PITCHING!
MLB forced the Astros to open that roof.
Imagine Yankees fans calling Astros fans annoying. Hilarious
I do not understand that,if the Yankees have a stadium with no roof they should be accustomed to it
well Said
Remember 1994? Houston Rockets
O yes !
I like how they looked at the exit velocity and not launch angle or what part of the ballpark the balls went.
If the Yankees would learn to make contact, they'd be doing better. They're averaging striking out 15 times per game.
@denton young yea that doesn’t help but ya gotta remember DJ and Benintendi are out, they’re 2 of the top 3 average hitters who hit high in the lineup and don’t strike out a lot
Thats no excuse . They are just being taught that they have to hit the ball hard and nothing else .
@@kylemorse346 Michael Brantley
Damn not even a Yankees fan and I felt that bulls knicks comparison
i remember when the yanks had guys who would hit in the post season...
Michael Brantley a 300 hitter is also out for the Astros.
Bregman / Judge. All you have to do is look at the flags just Right of Center Field to see which way the wind was blowing. Boone is a bonehead for that comment.
I feel bad for long time yankee fans. I really do. I remember the days of Bernie Williams,jorge posada,jeter,swisher. they were great players now its just players with cheap excuses.
The Yankees analytic approach is to hit home runs. That’s what an 8 year old would come up with. “”Judge looks like Superman, he should hit home runs!”
I Respect this Man. 2023. Houston Texas.
Astros are missing Brantley.
RENT FREE BABY!!!!!
“You lollygag to first base, you lollygag to the dugout, you lollygag to the outfield… what’s that make ‘em?!”
“Lollygaggers Sir?!”
“LOLLYGAGGERS!!”
Nut up or shut up Yanks. No one feels bad for y’all. You have the most expensive team but your minds are weak.
That’s exactly what I say to my grandson. Hit catch play ball
Major League baseball has recalibrated all of the radar guns associated with pitching velocities ! This makes the game more exciting some more people watch to get more revenues !
Thank you T muny.
The radar gun as well as measuring pitch velocity coming out of the pitcher's hand, not at the plate. 🤣🤣
Anyone who knows physics knows that an object's speed (in the case of a thrown baseball) decreases over distance, so it may come 100 out of the hand, but it will decrease over the 60 feet to the plate.
"They are basically the Bulls to our 90's Knicks."
If you lived through that... you know how absolutely DAMNING that statement is, and it 100% right. 90's were all about grinding possessions and defense, and the Knicks did it better than anyone. Similar to the three true outcomes era we live in today. But when a team thats great for the era meets a team thats great period, you cant win. Your gimmicks come up short. And thats the Yanks in a Nutshell. Cole is Ewing, Judge is Starks, IKF is Chris Childs... 💀
Benintendi and lemahieu were hitting.250 in 2022, not .300. But the point stands that not having them hurt.
I didn't see the team make excuses I saw a boonehead manager make excuses..
Love it! Go Astros!
Why are the Yankees complaining about the wind when it rained out two games at their home playing the Guardians? Win a game and stop complaining, it’s annoying. They complain more than a team that has below .500 win/loss rate. I’m complaining about the Yankees complaining lol
Astros have a.300 hitter out hurt, too.
What is the velocity of an unladen swallow.
African or European swallow?
You went back home and lost 5-0. Thanks for the Little League RF.
Yes
Most team have no roof at all Only open sky
It's funny seeing everyone is okay with handicapping the defense by banning the shift because hitters cant adjust. Sad seeing the game change so much.
.... Mariners fans saying... oh you're tired of Astros dominance?!?... get in the f'n line....
As a Yankee fan Sevi should stop making excuses and just admit he made a mistake by giving up a hittable one to Bregman. Just stop and instead try to get out of this hole they've dug themselves in.
Exactly . 3 runs in 6 innings is not championship caliber . Its good but not championship caliber
astros are missing brantley also a 300 hitter
Yankees a the biggest clowns for bringing this up.
Mariners would beat the Yankees
