Carpenter 3 for 6 against montero with 2 doubles 

Not anymore. 😉

[Wulaw Horn 19,563]

Let’s buy some insurance fellas. Don’t want to go into the 9th only up 1…

[runthebone 8,325]

After watching Rivera all of those playoff games, every closer seems shitty and terrifying by comparison, even if it's totally unfair.

This is a myth.

Actually it's not. MLB rules say that the runner is out if he or the base are tagged before he reaches the base. Therefore if it happens at the same time he's safe.

Yes, but that was before Carpenter was useless, like Mancini.

Mancini wasn’t useless to Baltimore.  They received two P prospects for him …

[tx 3 putt 78,510]

drop a bunt

It's 9-1-2.

[elfenix 34,666]

slump buster!

[runthebone 8,325]

He's fine, 2 hits and 2 walks (1 credited)

[HtownHorn 15,243]

duck snort for Altuve. He should have been doing that all series long.

Edited October 24, 2022 by HtownHorn

[tx 3 putt 78,510]

there you go altuve

[elfenix 34,666]

goddamnit

[Brisketexan 106,696]

Shitfuck

[cabowabo 4,646]

You god damn idiot. 

[Planet Houston 4,950]

I finally synched up the radio guys with TV. Soooo much better. But also super behind. So see y’all in the WS in a bit. 

[YChang 3,533]

Oh Jose… you and your stupid base running 

[Macklemore 2,945]

What the fuck Jose

[UTexasFight 9,790]

it took 7 games for our Altuve TOOTBLAN

[tx 3 putt 78,510]

wtf 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,280]

Fuck!

[Guadaloopy 11,126]

Oh, Jose.  

[runthebone 8,325]

Was worth the risk, I think.

[HtownHorn 15,243]

Why Altuve? Why?

[UTEX_ME 4,257]

Let’s get three easy outs please 

[tx 3 putt 78,510]

smart play, but couldn't hold the slide 

[WBT 20,895]

Man, normally I wouldn't mind that with 1 out but with Yordan coming up, I don't know.

[Macklemore 2,945]

Ok guys let’s end this here.

I will look that up. I always thought the same…until I heard it discussed and it was clearly stated by an official during one of the regular season games that it was not the case. 

[utxmike05 1,833]

Well that was weird. Yanks executed something perfectly.  

[Guadaloopy 11,126]

Yeah… watching the replay, that was a good risk.

Well, he hasn't gotten many opportunities.

Not with Yordan and Bregs up

Nobody covering 3rd. 
 

Until Donaldson did. 

[Gut Wagon 8,214]

I hope nothing that happened within the last minute comes back to haunt us.

Er, 9-1-2 I meant

[kevwun 16,363]

It wasn't Altuve's usual base running blunder, at least the base was open.

[Honeysucklerose 1,006]

Alright. Let’s go

[uoftorange 1,391]

It was 100% the right base running play.  It took an absolute perfect throw and running tag to get him

[Lat22 4,070]

I agree but damn that was aggressive with Yordan coming up. 

[Rip76 5,009]

Just go to second Altuve.  Base hit scores you.

[mrhorn 1,429]

Can’t blame him, especially the way they’ve been throwing it all over the place.

0-2 on that one

It wasn't a good risk because Alvarez and Bregman are getting ABs. You didn't need an extra 90'.

[runthebone 8,325]

He forced them to make a perfect defensive play.  Would have had a runner at third with one out.  I'm ok with it

I think this is setting up for some Altuve magic in the 9th

Not the magic I had in mind
