Gamble pays off, Rondon & Peacock ate an inning.  Do it again, Brad.

If you consider that a gamble up 8-1, you might need to live a little

I have never heard of him and just googled the name and said that he plays for the Rangers. Kind of weird 

I'm pretty sure he's joking. Elvis did use it but the Nationals player uses it because his daughter likes the song. 

[MirrOlure 15185]

Awesome play! Did he HAVE to flip it into his glove? Just curious

[TexArcher 38816]

MORE RUNS!

MURDER, DEATH, KILL!!!

Springer may want to get in on the fun at some point

[Vito Andolini 9431]

Damn, Mirro was really curious

[MirrOlure 15185]

Yes

Even more impressive

Wait, what?  Unless I'm missing a joke, he just had to have the ball and touch the bag.  It was a force not a tag.

[MirrOlure 15185]

Yes

Even more impressive

[CurlyDumps 4618]

This whiskey tastes better right now.

Craptastic Rondon is always a gamble.

[Dutchrudder 11228]

Keep the train rolling...

[elfenix 34658]

i'm guessing the glove is more secure than your hand in a head first dive. 

[WBT 20884]

Uncle Mike appears to be locked in.  3 for 5 and the two outs were well hit liners to the cf.

[elfenix 34658]

looks like rain, sparky just said 'light mist'

[atomheartbevo 90546]

The rain is falling like the tears of Nats fans.  

[Updawg 2378]

Let's keep going

[UTexasFight 9788]

Fernando Rodney kind of ends Bregman's streak of only homering off of badasses in the playoffs

Rodney is an All Star though

Even if it was 25 years ago

[TexArcher 38816]

Bregman getting hot!!

That pure swing is too good to keep him in a slump

[YChang 3531]

Dare we hope... Bregman finally out of the slump?

3x all-star.

no other details matter.

streak intact.

[Dutchrudder 11228]

Damn, well still up 7 on the gnats

[DallasGatr 216]

Dare we hope... Bregman finally out of the slump?

Certainly looks like it

[Limp Brisket 549]

Lot of new usernames in here now.  Where were y’all in, ohhh, say June of ‘16?  Just kidding, I know y’all are seeing it.  I hope y’all were with us in, pffff I don’t know,  81 or maybe 86?

We are winning this World Series.

[atomheartbevo 90546]

Keep forgetting Disney owns Fox.  

Mandalorian...never realized I needed a Star Wars TV series with Bill Burr, Carl Weathers, Werner Herzog, Pedro Pascal, Nick Nolte, and Giancarlo Esposito in my life

Hinch said that everybody is available tonight. 

Urquidy made that unnecessary.

I like this kid.

I wasn't old enough for that. But I had nightmares in my childhood of Lights out Lidge. 

[atomheartbevo 90546]

Rendon looks like a younger, skinnier, more alive Powers Boothe. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Trade him?

[Lat22 4070]

Underhand the fucking thing up there.

[atomheartbevo 90546]

61 and raining there.  That’s almost shitty weather.

You mean 81 when we needed just 6 outs and had Nolan on the mound? [Face tic]

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Let' stop walking guys

[YChang 3531]

So it’s gonna be like this from the relievers till the 9th eh...

[Lat22 4070]

You mean 81 when we needed just 6 outs and had Nolan on the mound? [Face tic]

Too soon.

[WBT 20884]

If this goes 7, Urquidy's performance tonight sets him up to possibly play the Charlie Morton role on 3 days rest

Why don’t you go ahead and start talking about the Bills and Oilers while you are at it.  

[henrygandorf 29219]

a peacock or mchugh that could get us 2-3 innings of 1er ball would've been really fucking useful this postseason.  same with miley.

shame we basically have none of that available to us.

[UTexasFight 9788]

I find the “are we seeing the Astros offense starting to liftoff?” narrative funny.

 

We’ve had 9, 10, 11, 11 hits in games 1-4, respectively.

It’s like BABIP and xwOBA and stuff like that are useful stats for predicting future results

 

 

[At Ease 44]

Not pretty, but getting it done.

Yes.  We had em 2-0 in the Series and they came back 3 straight with Jerry Reuss for game 5.  Devastated at 10 years old and still today.

I was never an Oiler fan, other than rooting for Earl, so that one doesn't hurt me.

i feel like g3 is going to be a low scoring dog fight.  g4 is going to be high scoring, and possibly a blowout.

how's my math?
