How many short pop ups to left is Yordan going to have?

 

He's clenching.  Dammit.

[Longhornlove 4815]

At least Bregman got a hit earlier instead of popping up.

They just hate the Astros. 

You’re right, John Smoltz has no rooting interest in the Braves. I mean obviously they hate the Astros too.

They were both openly biased in the ALCS. I don't blame Smoltz but keep it professional.

The chop just made me turn the volume up. So, you know, add that to the discussion.

Braves need some lemmon pepper magic here. 

[TOR 5550]

Take that.

I do think it would be funny for Ron Washington to be apart of another World Series meltdown.

There's enough blow in Dallas to kill everyone in Puerto Rico. I'm sure Ron can make do.

[Buzzrock 14920]

I would like some more runs here please.

Kind of harsh. 

[ztejas 43420]

So the last time this happened it was literally fixed. That's amazing. 

[McCroskey 1504]

I need an Albies hit to win an SGP bet...so relax guys, he'll end the inning here.

[TOR 5550]

The Mullet is strong.

[ztejas 43420]

Thought he was out all the way. Shit call imo. 

[Helobious 9449]

Braves got out scored 8-1 after the grand slam. When I said they “shot their load too early” that’s kind of what I meant.

Dammit Helobious.

[ztejas 43420]

Should be 8-5. Altuve was never safe there. Probably won't matter. 

[ztejas 43420]

Interesting zone tonight. 

Altuve caught a bad strike earlier. It's gone both ways.

It’s been pretty horseshit I think. Not just missed calls but also inconsistent. I don’t think anyone has been particularly favored. Interested to see the ump card tomorrow. 

[Horn80 6119]

Headed back to Houston!

[ztejas 43420]

So it goes to Houston.

Look who ended up being right. I’m telling you it’s just an innate feeling you get after watching a lot of baseball. Big first inning for the Braves, followed by Astros chipping away, and then a non competitive 2nd inning made it super obvious what was about to happen. There’s no sabermetrics for that.

Let me just say I absolutely love, love love this team. They simply do not panic or ever quit. IMHO they are dangerous AF returning to Minute Maid with some confidence and the bats coming back to life.

Sure am gonna miss watching Correa do his magic at SS next year. That throw was phenomenal. I know he's not considered the best SS in the league by most, but he's one of the best I've ever seen.

Oh, and that barehanded play by Bregman ... Buck (I think) said 'good play'. Are you fucking kidding me? That was a fantastic play. We see people try to barehand bouncing balls like that all the time, but we rarely see them field it cleanly and throw out someone like Ozzie getting his ass rapidly down the line. 

[Helobious 9449]

Joe Buck is notorious for never getting excited about anything (2007 giants-pats SB ending comes to mind big time), and he’s a shitty commentator to boot. Wish Gary Thorne or pre-Santa Maria Matt Vasgersian was on play by play. Gus Johnson might not know what’s going on but he’d at least bring some passion.

Those are some of the best football games on TV though.  Not a bunch of prima donnas prancing for the cameras.

You enjoy watching the 108th-ranked Ball State Cardinals do battle with the 122nd-ranked Akron Zips, and the 105th-ranked Miami Redsomethings play the 121st-ranked Ohio Bobcats then.  

I'm gonna watch the World Series.

Jordan Lynch isn’t walking through that door. Back when the MAC was fun.

Over/under (usually over), even/odd, the starting QB having more than 5 consonants in his name.

He has one of these this decade also unlike the team the Astros beat to get it

Hopefully Sark is watching and calling any 3+ year starting offensive lineman to get their ass down here in January.

The atlanta knob-slobbing is just... unseemly.  Have some respect for yourself, Fox.
