[Johnny Sack 8397]

James is the right move.  We have a 2-5 off suit.

Didn't need him. Could have gone with McCann and Stassi.

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Yes, Maldonado sucks. But Benintendi was going to score on that anyway.

I did go back and watch the replays on DVR and I do think the fans reached over on to the field of play slightly. But, there is no down the line angle to really tell. I'm not happy, but I don't think it was some screw job either. I can see both sides on this one (unlike the one in Boston)

Btw....I'm not pulling for either Team. 

I also slowed the replay down and think Joe West got the call right.  

[At Ease 44]

Bergman is further back and may stop that if the runner isn’t at 3rd?

yep.  i take full responsibility.

he's a gg catcher and has a homer and double so far in the postseason.  mac hasn't hit in weeks.  i cannot explain how garbagey mm's defense has been.

oh, and he didn't cost us a run just now.  most runners score from 2nd on a double.

[UTexasFight 9450]

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

The smartest will blame James Hoye and Paul Nauert...but yeah, after the on field call Joe made, kinda put them in an impossible spot.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Holy fuck. 102?!

[Jimbaround 975]

Yes, Maldonado sucks. But Benintendi was going to score on that anyway.

With the runner on 2nd Bregs would not be in so close. May have had a chance to knock that down.

You think if the infield isn’t in Bregman doesn’t make that play?

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

Ha ha ha. Fuck you, Devers. Damn. Got a Nolan Ryan smile on that 102 mph pitch.

[Johnny Sack 8397]

Fuck it James.  Just keep throwing heat.  

[FondrenRoad 4378]

Yeah, fuck the changeup in the dirt idea. Just keep throwing it 100.

He's bringing the heat. I liked that 'K' to knock out that smug face bitch Devers.

[Zavala 1384]

Did Nolan Ryan just say "now that's baseball"

Some folks started watching baseball a couple of weeks ago.

Especially give how bad Maldonado is.

Bregman makes all plays. It is known.

Would have passed him for sure.  I dont think the carom is played any differently.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Nice work, Bregs. Now score some fucking runs, preferably in a way that can't be overturned.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Just like that

Case in point just now.

I think there’s a better than even chance he stops the other.

No one could have honestly predicted his struggles this post season, he was a Gold Glove winner last year, with a hell of an arm.

[utxmike05 1828]

Breg is so money on Def.  Let’s go boys! You’re the freakin champs playing at home!

I was at the game last night and Boston looked so comfortable in our stadium, and we didn’t.  I’m hoping we wake up and own this shit.  Pitching and catching has definitely not been what it was before.  Need more bats!

That's true, but what's the excuse to keep him in the game at this point especially after the stinker he put up last game?

[TexArcher 37774]

We need a bunch of runs.  Please.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

Time for George to get upset

Not just George, but the whole fucking lineup.

[kevwun 15788]

His struggles started this series.  He was fine in the Cleveland series.  He was a good catcher until a few days ago.

He has never been in the playoffs, has he?  Different animal.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

There you go, George

[elfenix 34240]

no interference on that one, asshole

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Was that interference Joe?! Fuck you

[UTEX_ME 4762]

4-3 Astros 

[housious 468]

Interfere with that, cuntfaces 

[TexArcher 37774]

Nailed it. 

[Brisketexan 105139]

I love it! But....goddamit, the postseason has been solo HR heaven. Could we maybe do that with men on base? I know, just askin’...

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

I want Tuve to get the one stolen from him. Fuck you, West.

[elfenix 34240]

sparks made that one sound like a home run

[WBT 20572]

Shit, how did that not get out?

[UDontKnow 10445]

Dammit he's hurt.

[UTEX_ME 4762]

so fucking close
