Official 2017 MLB Season Thread

Yankees gonna make this a series afterall.

Judge is the real deal, tbh.

The face Altuve just made sliding into home will be memed forever.

Hinch has managed the Yankees right back into this game.

:lmao Another classic Houston choke in the making. Looking like a Yankees/Cubs World Series (since the Dodgers are bound to choke as well).

Dat bat flip doe, Bautista would be proud :lol

Absolute collapse. Expecting a similar choke from my guys, too.

:lol Japanese pitcher already got us in a one run hole.

Good start. Counting on CN's asian pitcher theory to come thru for us, tbh.

Well that didn't last long :depressed

Can't keep anyone named Taylor inside the park.

At least one meltdown in every series they've ever played in starting with the 1980 NLCS, even the series they've won (Game 5 of the 2005 NLCS).

Yankees are legit, though. A real threat to win the whole thing.

Game over. Series over, tbh.

I believe it when I see it. :lol

Could be the season the Japanese pitcher theory fails. Tanaka has looked dominant and Darvish was terrific in two starts and drew a 4 pitch walk to plate one :lol

Have the Dodgers lost a playoff game so far?

Nope :tu

Meh. Darvish got enough run support from this lineup that the pressure/headcase factor isn't coming into play.

How about now?

1-2 comeback - achieved

1-3 comeback - achieved

0-3 comeback - pending...

But seriously, GG and GL in the World Series. Any preference between Yanks or Astros?

Doyers are just hitting on all cylinders right now (or they're just so far above the rest of the NL and prolly AL it just doesn't matter). Would be a classic move for them to choke a 3-0 lead though.

Yankees. I don't how they're doing it, but eventually their strikeout and curveball problem is going to catch up with them. I also think Severino and Tanaka will crack under the pressure.

Darvish finally didn't choke for once.

I thought it had caught up to them after game 1 vs Tribe and again after games 1 & 2 vs Astros, but they keep bouncing back. Kinda reminiscent of 2016 Cubbies bouncing back after getting shutout twice by LA and Tribe each. Yanks are definitely the real deal.

But then again, it's not like Astros would be any easier. Should be a good, competitive series regardless of who they face.

Astros still in choke mode. Their batters all look timid and shook at the plate.
