Dude swings into the pitch.

Take your base and shake it off...

Altuve... not quite dead yet.

 

Pure grit. 

[ztejas 43605]

Go Rays

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

When Greinke is dealing he’s fun to watch. Nobody left like him.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

I jinxed him. My apologies 

[shadow_operative 15932]

got a hold of that one.

Greinke is like a more refined( and obviously better) Charlie Hough.  I know it's not a knuckleball, but when Greinke floats one of his 55mph curves in there, Hough is exactly who I think of.

I tell my boys to enjoy the artistry and execution of pitches by Zack. It's rare, indeed.

Do they tell you to quit trying to sound like Tim McCarver?

They know I don’t like Deion either.

Are the Rays going to pull a Yankees from 2004?

Should've batflipped that bitch.

Frenchy, in Korea, that is not a batflip.

Zunino the obvious key to the series.

Rays are going to choke this away lulz

Good luck tonight, fellas.  Cracking open up a beer here shortly to start this LCS gamewatch.  

Win this one for Danny Darwin from your '86 LCS squad.  Bonham's favorite son turns 65 next week.  

To hell with the Devil Rays.

[Vic Mackey 47189]

Rays...

[Vic Mackey 47189]

I really don't see how the Rays win this game tomorrow. They are shook. And I think they are done. Choke artists to even let this shit to get to this point.  Now as I type this, they will come ou and win 11-0. The Rays were not overpowering in their 3 wins that much. Astros had so many chances and loud outs. Now all of that is evening out. Astros have much more talent.

[htown85 159]

Honestly, the Astros should have won at least one of the first 3 games.  Baseball is weird though and it’s any team’s game tomorrow.

[Guadaloopy 11033]

Yep.  Anything can happen in one game.  Just happy to see the boys fight back to have a chance to win it.   

[Vic Mackey 47189]

I don't know. I remember the Red Sox fighting all the way back from 0-3 and Yankees had zero left for that game and I believe Boston took it with ease. I see that happening tomorrow. Not sure how much momentum really matters in baseball but the Astros have it all now. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

MLBnet had an interesting graphic comparing Red Sox-Yankees 2004 scoring to Astros-Rays.

1st 3 games:  Red Sox-Yankees 16-32, Astros-Rays 5-11

next 3 games:  Red Sox-Yankees 15-10, Astros-Rays 15-10

(game 7 was 10-3)

Re-post from LA Clippers thread...technically works here too (and maybe ATL-LA)

What channel are the yankees on? Can't find their game anywhere 

[Sbbruin 21904]

If I knew we were going to win tomorrow, I’d root for Houston because nothing would make me happier than to beat their smug asses.  But since I don’t know that, fuck the Astros and I hope they lose.

I'm surprised. I didn't expect the Rays to jump on them like they did. Also did not expect to see Houston look so flat. Maybe they used up all their magic to tie this up and didn't have any left to finish it off. Like a big comeback in basketball.

I don't know about that.  But I need a ruling on who is a bigger douche: long-haired McMullers or 2 haircuts a week McMullers from a couple years ago...?

[Pato del Muerto 52664]

Who is in the booth saying this is the easiest 5 innings in a game 7 he’s seen?

im wondering if he had thought of the 1991 World Series game 7 when he said that. 

[Slacks 6898]

A walk and 2 infield his isn't sloth for me to pull Uncle Charlie there...


Let's go, Brantley.

I meant that.

[Pato del Muerto 52664]

A walk and 2 infield hits isn’t enough for me to pull uncle charlie there.

Damn he just missed that.

[Pato del Muerto 52664]

I’d like to see the stat cast on that. Not sure I’ve ever seen one that high go that far. 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Oh shit, a Doritos Loco Taco? This changes everything!

[Pato del Muerto 52664]

Oooh intrigue

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

They sat Anderson for this dude?

[Helobious 9477]

Lulz Bregman. Lot harder to hit when you don’t know what’s coming.

[ztejas 43605]

What a fucking missile. 

Sit your ass down Bregman.

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

This is it!

Doritos Locos Time!

[Vic Mackey 47189]

Does Bregman even have a hit this series?
