Sit on the fastball and kill it.

[Rockethorn1978 6153]

Let’s hope Garcia is locked in

[TexArcher 38422]

Hallion's given him a couple of a strikes and he's still thrown balls to strikes at about 2 to 1.  

Everybody should be taking until they get a strike and sitting fastball all the time.  His breaking stuff is missing by a foot.

[Wulaw Horn 19253]

This guy is a “you have to get him in the first inning kind of guy, right? 

[Js1 85764]

He’s throwing balls and you swing first pitch? Ugh

What a miserable looking fucking night for baseball. 

We had great weather here until 2 days ago. Unfortunate.

I’d be pissed if I spent a fortune for tickets to sit in the rainy cold. Blows my mind that they spent all that money on a stadium in the sunbelt without a roof.

I said this in 2019 at the ALCS games in Yankee Stadium.  It was a 3B+ stadium with no roof.  It gets fucking cold in New York in October.  It didn't this year, but it was, especially the third game, in 2019.

Good news is Anderson looks like shit. 

He always does in the first inning.  Rest of the game he looks a lot less shitty.

[Gourmand 7776]

Anderson got lucky Alvarez missed that one

He was so shitty we couldn’t get a hit. 

[billfromlaketravis 11605]

Braves crowd should be down. Women would rather freeze to death than get their hair wet. 

[cabowabo 4578]

That has to be caught. 

[beer 3246]

Rock the baby, smell it, throw it away - it stinks

[WBT 20750]

Damn, Bregs scared Yordan off it looked like.

Effectively wild.

Great d there Yordan

that potential collision had my cheeks puckered

[billfromlaketravis 11605]

Buck should EABOD.

I wouldn’t have been terribly disappointed if Yordan had killed Bregs 

[WBT 20750]

Hallion, my man

[Scraps 13598]

Sit down dummy

[Fudge Nuggets 19276]

I think we got one there.

[Wulaw Horn 19253]

Hallion is a clown. That should have been appealed. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5389]

He went.

[beer 3246]

Swing was checked, just sayin'

[cabowabo 4578]

That’s not a swing. 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19243]

Buck and Smoltz can get fucked.  Seriously.

[perfectchaos007 6717]

Home plate umpires should always defer those calls to the 1st or 3rd base umpire. Always

[billfromlaketravis 11605]

Rosario held up, but dozens of checked swing calls have gone against the Astros in the postseason. I’m good with it. 

[HtownHorn 14926]

Does Smoltz have early onset Alzheimer's?

[TexArcher 38422]

Does this organist not know any other songs??

Yeah. I wasn’t arguing swing or not (I’d probably go with not) but it’s stupid he didn’t appeal.

Nope. Directly correlated with gene pool diversity. 

[StruggleBus 3922]

Ugh. Waking Albies is asking for trouble 

[Fudge Nuggets 19276]

Throw fucking strikes.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Here we go. Fuck.

[Wulaw Horn 19253]

Fucking strike zone- how does it work?

feels like this is gonna be a really long ducking night for the arm barn. 

[billfromlaketravis 11605]

Stros need to win this one for the Cherokees. 

[Gourmand 7776]

Sparks: "He looks tight. Tight to me.....Could be the rubber."

 

[tx 3 putt 77938]
