Dubon needs to start tomorrow. 

I appreciated the break from Chas' lack of pitch awareness/ situational hitting. Meatloaf has turned into Meathead with a stick.

Combine that with Maldy's results at the plate and last night's game was a big fuck you from Dusty for lineup bitchers, of whom I am absolutely one.

 

Whatever it takes to get a W!!!

Win today and I’ll feel great. Otherwise, no, bc it means we’d have to win 2 more at home and that scares me to death

Dumb.

I have no doubt most of the LatAm guys have a passable understanding of English and can make out what is being said. Turning that in to the ability to speak confidently in English in response to a question is an entirely different level.

Anyone else crashing trying to buy WS tickets?

Yep. I assume it's a scam so the ticketmaster bots or whoever can get them all. Just hitting refresh on the screen with my dick in my hand right now.  Good times.

Yeah I thought this was known by everyone.  Why take the chance of being misunderstood in a second language or looking dumb or something like that when you can make damn sure you understand what's being asked and convey what needs to be conveyed.  It's pretty simple really. Can't believe anyone wouldn't get that.

How does MLB choose these guys to work playoffs? Apparently, this will be the Umpire tonight. 

Umpire Doug Eddings (ranked 84th of 92 during the regular season) was the lowest-rated umpire of Wild Card game 2s

I will say that I got out of my chair and set my hat on the kitchen counter to get something.  Immediately Jung hit another HR. I take full responsibility.  I went back to may assigned seat.

I bet Jeter is also at least average at his spanish proficiency, too (I don't know how you can possibly run a team in Miami that has to have significant international scouting resources otherwise), but he wasn't going to risk a screw-up while the cameras were on (you just know Arod would have been all over him about it).

The HPU favored his left side of the plate( the pitcher's right) by about 2-3 inches at times.  Scherzer used it more, which is a credit to Max.  Automation cannot get here soon enough.

Check swings should be reviewable.

Fuck the human element.  I want accuracy.  HPUs fuck up way too many ABs.

In ALCS game 3, umpire James Hoye (ranked 54th of 92) called strikes on 8 pitches outside the zone and they all went against the Astros.

 

 

We definitely took note of each...in real time.

The reverse jinx always makes me laugh. Make a predictive post and it happens,  it’s “hey look at me, I called it.” It doesn’t happen, it’s “ My reverse jinx worked, you’re welcome”

I like our chances in a possible game 7 against Scherzer/their bullpen.

it’s game 6 with Framber that scares you to death.

Where are Mack & Sally with the Orange Slices to provide the players for fighting their guts out?

That’s fair. Win today and tomorrow so Framber can’t lose it for us in a game 6.

Does this include the cushion umps get around the zone?  If it does, that called strike score is about as bad as they can get in a game.  Which seems right because calling strikes that are 3-6" out of the zone on both the outside and inside corners is up there with Angel at his worst.

one of the great moments in astros history, no doubt, but a huge part of the drama. 

90% of non-astros baseball fans are still convinced he wore some sort of buzzer because of a series of fake tweets and because americans are generally violent morons.  if he doesn't make it into the hof on the first ballot, i will blow up cooperstown like a moron.

TBF Altuve knew what pitch was coming…not because of a fucking buzzer, but because a two pitch pitcher couldn’t throw one of his pitches for a strike, and he had to have one. Every non-idiot (and some idiot fans - 🙋‍♂️) knew what the pitch was going to be.

Well you better start planning

 

Yeah Altuve not getting in first ballot is 100% coming and it's 110% that fat faced fuck Jomboy's fault. If it wasn't in poor taste due to current world events would say he needs a fatwa issued against him till he apologizes to Altuve for being a clout grabbing sack of shit with the buzzer lies.
