Rocco and Dusty sounds like a kid’s cartoon

[WBT 20425]

Lulz, glad the umpire was paying more attention than the 3 announcers.  I thought that was only ball 3.

[Honeysucklerose 959]

I didn’t know what was happening

[Scraps 13543]

Fucking throw strikes dickhead

[Guadaloopy 10927]

Cmon, Zack.  Find that G7 magic.

[UTexasFight 9381]

Welp.

it was a good run.

(not really)

[WBT 20425]

well this is a lovely start

[Honeysucklerose 959]

This first inning, even if they don’t score, is screwing up the rest of the series. We can’t depend on the bullpen.

[UTexasFight 9381]

100.4 exit velo...

get lucky one more time 

[Scraps 13543]

Pretty sure Strom said the exact same thing I just posted lol


Short and sweet

[WBT 20425]

.690 xBA on that.  Things are looking up?

I don’t like Eduardo but spot on about their gameplan being to sit and wait...

[UTexasFight 9381]

Omg

that 1-0 pitch.

should have been a 500’ grand slam

Yeah- the only thing I can hope is that this is the equivalent of 2000, and after that we won the division in 2001, came in second in 02 and 03, and then went to LCS and WS in 04 and 05 as the end of the dynasty. Hopefully Altuve is like Biggio sucking in 2000 before coming back to be ok in 01-05 and it's not the last vestiges of a competitive team.

Welp... we suck and playoffs are getting old hat as an Astros fan. but it’s still playoff baseball and I’m wearing out my carpet, pacing back and forth 

[elfenix 34182]

fuck that was close

[WBT 20425]

thank god that was Sano.  Well, 30 pitches in the first isn't ideal but 30 pitches with no runs is something at least.

[UTexasFight 9381]

Fuck

[elfenix 34182]

foot just over the bag when the ball hits the back of the glove

[hornmpa96 2598]

What an escape 

[Guadaloopy 10927]

Great D from Bregs in the postseason. Ho-hum.  

[HillaryFan420 121]

Greinke looks like shit. Not getting them to expand on his change up.

[clapclapclap 9000]

[runthebone 7932]

Wow.  0-0!

[InkaUtexas 25528]

Damn that was a great play. 

[Guadaloopy 10927]

Just a little quick, Ted.  

[Scraps 13543]

Jeffers "pitch framing" is so fucking wack.

First time I've ever not felt this way in the playoffs. I envy you. I wish I felt that way right now, it's what makes it fun.  

I'm chalking it up to the goofy ass 60 game season with all the weirdness. 

[HillaryFan420 121]

Would McCormick even be a downgrade to Reddick at this point?  This dude sucks.

It’s driving me insane 

[Guadaloopy 10927]

I’m still hanging on every pitch, but I don’t have the positive expectations to make it fun like previous years.  

[Mack Tripper 696]

Welp that was a better inning

[rvm96 1643]

Well this thread is sad for the first playoff game 

[TonyTexas 10482]

Yuli  with the glove today

Would Mez be a downgrade from Reddick?  no. 

[WBT 20425]

looked like Reddick could have gotten to that

[Guadaloopy 10927]

Man, Reddick played that poorly.  

[clapclapclap 9000]

Gee, great hustle, Reddick.

[runthebone 7932]

Fuck

Got caught completely in between like a ninny.  If he fields it cleanly they have the guy at the plate.  Or, like you said looks like he could have gotten there. 

[Scraps 13543]

Reddick looking like a 64 yr old out there

[clapclapclap 9000]

Maybe hard to run in a speedo.

[DLev 12]

We’ve gone from advanced analytics on defensive placement to a fucking ESPN announcer saying were lined up wrong before play. Not that where he was standing excuses that garbage from Reddick.

[Gourmand 7774]

and even with Reddick's fuck up, Correa still almost got eeeem.

Carlos fired that ball home like he'd punch Joe Kelley's face.

[HillaryFan420 121]

Just put Brantley and Tucker in the corners and DH Diaz.  Enough of this bullshit.

these assholes are an absolute beating. I may have to just listen to the radio because I can't take much more of it.

Just rewinded and watched again, that was beer league softball hustle at best...

[Scraps 13543]

Man up Tucker....LETS FUCKING GO 

[WBT 20425]

Y'all keep talking shit about Ted
