Carpenter 3 for 6 against montero with 2 doubles 

Not anymore. 😉

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

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

[runthebone 7932]

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 …

drop a bunt

It's 9-1-2.

[elfenix 34171]

slump buster!

[runthebone 7932]

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

[HtownHorn 14487]

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

Edited October 24, 2022 by HtownHorn

[tx 3 putt 76379]

there you go altuve

[elfenix 34171]

goddamnit

[Brisketexan 104613]

Shitfuck

[cabowabo 4453]

You god damn idiot. 

[Planet Houston 4923]

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 3430]

Oh Jose… you and your stupid base running 

[Macklemore 2870]

What the fuck Jose

[UTexasFight 9380]

it took 7 games for our Altuve TOOTBLAN

[tx 3 putt 76379]

wtf 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19093]

Fuck!

[Guadaloopy 10923]

Oh, Jose.  

[runthebone 7932]

Was worth the risk, I think.

[HtownHorn 14487]

Why Altuve? Why?

[UTEX_ME 4754]

Let’s get three easy outs please 

[tx 3 putt 76379]

smart play, but couldn't hold the slide 

[WBT 20422]

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

[Macklemore 2870]

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 1825]

Well that was weird. Yanks executed something perfectly.  

[Guadaloopy 10923]

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 8052]

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

Er, 9-1-2 I meant

[kevwun 15648]

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

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Alright. Let’s go

[uoftorange 1386]

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

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

[Rip76 4914]

Just go to second Altuve.  Base hit scores you.

[mrhorn 1376]

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 7932]

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
