Sanchez, even though he's a great talent with the bat, scares me behind the plate. Does anyone know if Severino has a better ERA with Romine catching vs Sanchez?

Yanks' pitching has been lights out, and has almost dictated how their offense, and Astros' offense and pitching plays. Can't count on getting a win against Verlander, but I agree, I feel comfortable with Big Game CC on the mound Game 7. Guy has pitch when the spotlight's on him. Know I say this a lot...but still can't believe this is the same guy (CC) that contemplated retiring this season due to knee pain. Hopefully his knee doesn't cause him discomfort.
No idea, but if I had to guess, I bet Sevy has a lower ERA with Sanchez behind the plate (have a close bond, always seem on the same page). Romine's a very good defensive catcher, but we simply cannot afford his auto-out bat in the lineup against Verlander. Before Headley came up big the last couple games, I always believed Torreyes should've DH'ed...dude can put the ball in play and get on base. But now it seems we have good options at DH.
Still very fearful of this Astros lineup. They can light up the scoreboard like it's an NFL game. Just need to stay away from those big innings (4, 5 run innings) and we should have a chance.
