i don't know if this is even a thing anymore, and i'm 100% positive it will not matter, but are we playing this game under protest?  isn't that something you have to say at the time of the argument?  i wanted to see more fire out of hinch.  i know that's not really his thing.

It never mattered even when it was a thing. 

[Mez2 4023]

We execute and probably a tied game

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

Red Sox felt blah blah fuck those turds.
Couldn't imagine a more punchable face than Devers.
 

Agreed. I said that last night. Devers has a smug asshole face.

Can't protest a replay review.  Not enough evidence to show that the rule was mis-applied.

No one is worse than that fucker Joc from Dodgers.

Maybe we will get a fancy "league apology" like the NBA gives out after a team is screwed. If we do, Hinch should wipe his ass with it and mail it to West. 

The Oilers got a bunch of those.  I remember the game winning field goal at the Redskins the refs inexplicably said was no good.  A day or two later the NFL admitted the FG was good and it should have been an Oilers win, but oh well, too late, it will still count as an Oiler loss.

[henrygandorf 29190]

nibble into a 3-1 count, give up solid contact.  crazy how that works.

[cabowabo 4484]

Got James up too late.

He could protest THE WRONG CALL on the field by goiter though right?

Yeah Hench just goes out there and let them bend him over on calls.

He is probably ready to pack it up after this shameful shit the MLB pulled. First they put every game out of prime time, then they "clear" the Astros of cheating and make the big story about the Astros possibly stealing signs. Load of shit.

That’s BS for chron to out that dude. Was bad call (but he was leaning across other dude) but let’s not turn into cubs fans here. 

Got to make the storyline anything other than the Astros cheating bullshit.

[FondrenRoad 4378]

Surprised they didnt review that ground rule double and call it a home run. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Why not McHugh or LMJ?

Agreed, but the Chron is full of unethical scumbags that cheer on lynch mobs, so no surprise.

Can't protest a wrong call.  Can only protest the mis-application of a rule.

[cabowabo 4484]

Now go get him.

[Dutchrudder 11139]

Ehhhhh.... the ball is clearly going to be a home run if nobody touches it. The glove is above the line and going into the stands. I don't see how you can definitely say the contact occurs on either side of the line.

[henrygandorf 29190]

"if you're a red sox fan, you say, you denied us a great postseason catch..."

hmm, that's true.  i guess we're even then.  great point b.a.

i love that with that call, they're basically 'assuming' one of the top 3 catches in mlb postseason history.

even if we win i will not be over it.  there will be blood tonight.

[UTexasFight 9432]

Remember that AB
Coming back with the K after down 3-1

I think Astros fans are smart enough to direct their anger towards joe West and not that fan. 

[UTEX_ME 4762]

fuck you Maldy

[Lat22 4014]

You have to yank Maldonado.

[maninblack 7974]

sunuvabitchInsert other media

[Brisketexan 105124]

I’m really tired of Maldonado.

[WBT 20565]

Jesus christ

[Johnny Sack 8397]

Can we cut Maldonado now?  He’s garbage.  

[Victorious1 140]

He's just fucking lazy on that attempt

 

[UDontKnow 10444]

Hinch would you kindly pull Maldonado?

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Fuck the Maldonado acquisition. Dude fucking sucks

[cabowabo 4484]

Go get him Hinch.

[TexArcher 37774]

Get him out of there.

Maldonado, too.

[UTEX_ME 4762]

fucking Maldonado cost us another one. 

[YChang 3443]

Holy shit, dude is showing how not ready he is for the big games.

[UTexasFight 9432]

Our gold Glove catcher is worse than Gary Sanchez

[henrygandorf 29190]

morton doesn't even look that bad.  this is so fucked.

[elfenix 34238]

Thanks, Maldonado

[UDontKnow 10444]

Make it a wholesale change. Pitching and catching.

[TonyTexas 10510]

fucking Maldonado cost us another one. 

Nope

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

That is now two runs on Maldonado.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

I want to be wrong, but going to James here seems like the wrong move.

[FondrenRoad 4378]

He needs to sit, but they probably score from 2nd on that hit anyway. 

[kevwun 15783]

After the first game, the turn this series took is a real bitch.  Did not see it coming.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Was the HG the poster claiming the Maldonado acquisition was genius by this team? How do you feel about that now? He fucking sucks.

Yeah, that's the other thing.  Even with that fat fuck calling interference, he doesn't have to assume the catch and call it an out.

[Johnny Sack 8397]

I feel like Maldonado is like some elaborate episode of punk’d.  I’ve never seen a catcher suck this much.

His fastball looks slow.

I hope it's not overconfidence on part of the team.

He has the yips. He needs to come out. We can’t afford to leave him in there. 

[WBT 20565]

Let's go James, chance to be a hero.  I think we're going to run Porcello before too long.
