How Yankees-Astros are different since 2017 ALCS battle
Sports
It’s been only two years since the Yankees and Astros met in the ALCS, but plenty has changed. A look at what’s different this time around:
The Astros have replaced Dallas Keuchel, Charlie Morton and Lance McCullers Jr. with the big guns otherwise known as Gerrit Cole and Zack Greinke. Jose Urquidy, a 24-year-old rookie, figures to fill in as the No. 4 starter after working out of the bullpen in the ALDS.
In 2017, ex-Yankee Brian McCann and Evan Gattis split catching duties for Houston. Now, it’s Robinson Chirinos and Martin Maldonado. Chirinos will get most of the work, but Maldonado has the important duty of being Cole’s personal catcher.
