correa is gone and he's been pretty quiet this postseason.  greinke and verlander are gone as well.  pretty much everyone who has gotten the team within 3 games of another title will be back.  our best hitters - altuve, bregs, tucker, yordan, brantley, yuli are locked up.  our best pitchers - mccullers, garcia, framber, urquidy, pressly are locked up. 

we shed about $80mm so i guess maybe we'll spend some of that.

correa is a team leader and it sucks that he'll bounce for a big contract, but we'll be just fine.  thank you for your concern.

Correa has been a liability this postseason. The Astros will be back.

You say that like he wouldn’t get a huge ovation if he went to MMP. How many let’s go Brandon chants broke out over the first 2 games? Probably too many to count. 

again with this shit?

I have a personal problem that I have a hard time not engaging repeated abject stupidity. Thank you for pointing this absurdity that’s already been well covered and documented with data out so I don’t feel pathologically compelled to do so.

Crazy to think about the fact that tonight is the first World Series game played in Atlanta in over 22 years.  They were swept at home in '99, here's hoping the Astros can repeat that proud Braves tradition.  

Sorry Hank.

[Scraps 13561]

they lost all 3 at home in 96 also

The "helping Cubans escape an oppressive communist regime is equal to human trafficking" schtick is regarded.

Ah yes, just the normal "either shredding contracts before MLB saw them or doctoring documents before sending them to the Office of the Commissioner" to violate Cuban embargos was done purely as a humanitarian gesture. There was certainly no goal of gaining a competitive advantage by breaking clearly established rules. To suggest otherwise would imply that they were cheating, which we know is impossible. After all, I'm sure that every organization keeps a handy Excel sheet demonstrating just how criminal their employees are:

@Sbbruin, obviously you are under no obligation to answer, but just curious. Do you think what the Dodgers did is not cheating? Cheating but not as big of a deal / impact? Cheating but everyone does it? Other?

The baseball board has to be the pissiest board outside of CR.

Wasn't trying to be pissy or play gotcha, but I get that was what I conveyed. My bad, but appreciate the response.

No teams cheat besides the Astros.

The Manfred out front should have told ya.

Go Astros

[Buzzrock 14920]

Go Braves!

[Buzzrock 14920]

That’s cool

[shadow_operative 15932]

great moment. i've got chills.

[Guest]

Awesome tribute to Aaron.

Got a little dusty in here seeing his wife tearing up a bit( in a good way, of course!)

[shadow_operative 15932]

If Anderson is pitching from behind all night it's going to be a short outing for him.

[Helobious 9448]

Jesus Christ what a horrible call, not the home plate umps to make either. On the other hand it did shut up that stupid fucking chant.

[Buzzrock 14920]

Should be two walks

Payback for that stupid fucking chant.

[kingkoopa6 8350]

ESPN app had it 0-4 to the braves. Then it went away. What I miss?

[Vito Andolini 9126]

Damn, this kid needs to throw strikes. Somehow rallied. For more brilliant commentary like this, subscribe to my channel.

[Helobious 9448]

That progressive grand larceny commercial is the only non-becoming your parents commercial I’ve ever laughed at from them. 

[Helobious 9448]

The announcers are acting like Anderson pitches via telekinesis. It’s a slightly over the top delivery it’s not that crazy. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

player interviews in the middle of the World Series? who makes these decisions? who thinks that this is what fans want? 

[shadow_operative 15932]

that one from gad is caught juuust too much of the heart of the plate. nice hit from Riley. 

[McCroskey 1504]

Check swings for fucking everybody tonight

[Helobious 9448]

Braves really fucked up that opportunity.

[Helobious 9448]

Analytics nerds are really gonna take one on the chin when this move blows up in the Braves face. So stupid to pull anderson. 

[Buzzrock 14920]

I don’t feel like 1-0 is gonna do it

[shadow_operative 15932]

that was actually pretty badass from Bregman. he deadened that ball on the spot.

[shadow_operative 15932]

ouch. 

[Pato del Muerto 52492]

You know that hurt

[shadow_operative 15932]

lmao, where was that pitch?

[shadow_operative 15932]

what a catch.

[shadow_operative 15932]

Albies and Riley (and Freeman) made those plays look easier than they were.

[Helobious 9448]

Worst strike zone in WS history? Dudes been shitty for both teams at least.

[shadow_operative2.0 15972]

Impressive effort there, Eddie. 

[atomheartbevo 89657]

That ball fell perfectly.  

[shadow_operative 15932]

that should have been caught.

[McCroskey 1504]

Wouldn't be surprised to see 3-runs here for the Stros.

[atomheartbevo 89657]

[atomheartbevo 89657]

[atomheartbevo 89657]

Holy shit.

[shadow_operative 15932]

 

 

[shadow_operative 15932]

still can't believe we lost a WS no-hitter like that. 

[McCroskey 1504]

still can't believe we lost a WS no-hitter like that.
