Quieting Yordan Alvarez hardly means short-circuiting the Astros, as the Yankees found out in Game 1. Via GabeLacques:
Why's that? Well, leadoff man Jose Altuve - whose 23 home runs are second in playoff history - was hitless in three at-bats, sending his 2022 playoff drought to 0 for 19. Alvarez put just one ball in play. Alex Bregman was 0 for 3 and outfielder Kyle Tucker hitless in four at-bats - including a bases-loaded double play that made the Alvarez intentional pass pay off.
It's as good a tribute as any to the fact that a club that's reached the ALCS for a sixth consecutive year can count on their off-Broadway stars and emerging ones just as much as the guys heavily featured on network promos and highlight reels. "We have a really good lineup and it seems like if the big guys aren't going, then the bottom of the lineup can get going. If the bottom of the lineup isn't going, the big guys can get going. It just kind of talks about how complete this team is."
