when the announcer said "and they're sending maldonado", they went to a shot of home plate.  typically when you hear that, you get ready to see a play.  once they showed home plate, there were a couple beats where maldonado wasn't even in frame yet.  i was happy he got sent, but when i didn't see him, i was certain he'd be hosed.

We need a "It's funny because it's true" rep.

Wasn’t it the game’s first and last pitches?

Tis impossible to do even for Springer & Correa.  It was the first and last pitch the Astros saw at least which is as absolutely close to that metric as one can get.

[Pimphand 5822]

As far as Maldonado goes it was definitely flashbacks to the funniest play of 2019

Ummmm.

Wouldn’t a better defensive line-up be Diaz at DH, Brantley in right and tucker in left?

I have not watched Diaz play the outfield so idk .... but heh. Gotta trust Dusty I guess.

Brantley is hurting so Dusty's trying to protect his foot

Being the first team to hit a HR on the first pitch of a game and the last pitch of a game would really be something 

Yes it would! Seeing as how it’s not possible unless the game was called right after a homer in the top of an inning.

New information has come to light!

[WBT 20649]

no pickoffs today

[Guest]

Snell can't believe he didn't get the call.  He was throwing shit to Altuve...

Blue didn't reward him.

well that was dumb

[elfenix 34331]

base running strikes again!

[Gourmand 7774]

furk can't believe Brantley swung and missed there

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Altuve seems so slow

[Guest]

stop it with the unforced errors on the basepaths.

You're an alltime great.  Be fucking that.

[TexArcher 37997]

Wellllllll, shit.

It was a hit and run minus the hit.

Doesn’t mean that Altuve should be half assing it on his way to second.

Not really. Brantley is a contact guy. Plus he had 3 balls.

I liked it, be aggressive and put pressure on Snell so he can't get too comfortable.

[WBT 20649]

Good 1st inning.  2 Ks and only 12 pitches.

bregman must be 0-23 on hard hit balls this series.

[runthebone 8026]

Maybe he should try hitting one shitty.  Probably will get a double out of it.

Thought video game nerd said he didn't want to play this year cause of pay and not risking his life.

ha that's right i forgot about that. really tone deaf comments at the time considering the amount of money he makes.

[Gourmand 7774]

Quick question for the crowd....what's your preferred playoff game-watching set up? Do you go with the TV feed only? Astros PBP radio only? Or do you try to sync your video feed at home with Ford and Sparks? Or do you prefer to hear the live feed first and then watch the TV from the future?

[WBT 20649]

welp, they managed to drive in their bloop single

[runthebone 8026]

Well, we are guaranteed to score this inning with Machete leading off.

[Gourmand 7774]

what a gorgeous K pitch by Framber

[Rip76 4946]

Wow not even a strike.

[Gourmand 7774]

Rays have struck out 62 times this series. Astros 36.
