  1. I’m not oblivious to it. I suppose if Green Bay wins today they’re gonna get beat 30-8 again in SF?  I just don’t think a Week 6 regular season game has any bearing on this game and obviously Vegas agrees. 
    Perhaps you want to make a wager as well. Y’all let me know. 
    What pts/odds are you offering?

  3. No kidding. Wasn't expecting this but am very happy. Is this the first time deshaun has played the pats?
    No, he played them in the first half of his rookie season at Gillette and teed off against the Pats D but the Texans were robbed of a win by the refs on a bullshit TD rec by Cooks that should have be waved off but wasn't. Deshaun was a wizard that day.

    Well done, Austin Chronicle. Five women were brutally victimized by Rodney Reed and rather than respect their experiences by letting your readers know what they went through, your reporting cast them into the role of co-conspirators with the racist Bastrop County cops who just wanted to Make a Murderer out of poor innocent Rodney Reed. 

    Shameful.

  5. Not going to judge.  Not sure how salty I would be after my team lost a winnable game 7 for the championship while I was itching to get the game.   I sure as hell wouldn’t want to talk to media if I didn’t have to.   
     
    That said... I do wish he would have handled that moment better.  
     
    Still an all-time Astros great in my book.  Unless he turns completely anti- Houston in the future, I’ll continue to root for him.  
    That's a terrible look for him. We're all upset about that game last night so I think we can commiserate with him but he's also a very highly paid pitcher who's expected to be available to the media afterwards. Throwing a hissy fit in front of reporters hoping to get quotes from players usually doesn't go over well.

    Those you can live with.  Altuve failing to at least advance the runners last night was the biggest play of the game, imo.  I can live with "bad luck" a lot easier than failed execution.  If he at least gets them to 2nd and 3rd with one out, they could have scored at least one more run.  He has to be better in that situation and I'm sure he would say the same thing. 

    The Chirinos bunt is the play that I was probably most disappointed about. Astroball is about never conceding outs, never giving up intentional walks etc and they went away from that philosophy in game freakin 7 of the World Series to concede an out on a bunt attempt that resulted in an out without doing the one fucking thing that matters...advance the runners into scoring position.

    Absolutely. Lower, higher, 50 feet left or right...that ball was a missile, and it was just bad luck it went straight to the LF. Felt at the moment like a play we'd all regret...and it certainly was. Yet it's tough to complain about "failure" with men on base when a ball is blasted that hard. Inches indeed.

    That AND Yordan's blast to deep center in the 3rd that looked like a HR off the bat. 

     

    Goddamn. Both of those outs had a statcast expected BA of greater than .680, both happened with two men on base, and both were noisy outs that were ultimately  the difference between us fans feeling like shit today and us fans rejoicing over a second World Series trophy while discussing where the 2019 Houston Astros rank in the annals of MLB history.

    I watched Joe Torre's explanation after the game. He was extremely clear in that Turner interfered, it was a judgment call, and that judgement calls are not reviewable/protestable.  He was also clear in that managers have the right to ask for the game to stop to verify the rules were being followed, which is what happened.

    I don't think he was actually very clear about the relationship between the 45 ft running lane and interference. It sounded like he was kinda babbling and then finished his thought with "it's a judgment call," which nobody cared to hear without clearer explanation. He should have gone further in depth about Turner running inside the running lane and hitting Gurriel's glove and how it's not incumbent on the thrower to deliver a perfect throw. 

  9. Is anyone else feeling a little bit ragey about the baseball talking heads running naked and screaming into the sky about the interference call? Not only did it not change the outcome of the game, but the call was the absolutely correct call and it's pretty clear in the rule book what the running lane is and when a runner is outside of the running lane and impedes the fielder from receiving the throw, it's interference. If Turner had been a step to the right instead of running on the grass in a straight line, Yuli's glove wouldn't have been knocked off his hand. It's crazy to me that everyone is ignoring that and not understanding what constitutes interference.

    the momentum is with them.  Houston has run out of superstars for the first pitch tomorrow. 

    oh shut the fuck up there's no such thing as momentum.

    is everyone on Surly Astros board going as bitchass whiny cunts for Halloween?
