How do you feel about baseball this year? (2 Viewers)

[Osaurus]

The way the announcers are hyping the Rays bullpen, we know what happens next.

Another Altuve throwing error in extra innings? 

 

[gump]

Shocking...Game 6!

 

[ChiefD]

Why is Fox adding crowd noise when there are people there? I would love to hear the actual sounds of the stadium right now. 

 

[Capella]

Starting to think that feeding the Astros one high fastball after another isn’t going to work out for the Rays.

Don't blow this.

 

[Capella]

Don't blow this.

Rooting hard, but I have nothing to do with it. I think they’ll close one of these games out though. 

 

[gump]

Snell and Morton is a good fall back.

 

[ChiefD]

 The planning meeting for this stadium:

Architect: so, the main view behind the plate should be some natural stone with a low wall, with the fans providing the backdrop. This will be the most viewed part of the ballpark for tv viewers and set the tone for them wanting to see the stadium.

Rangers ownership: man, we aren’t so sure about that. That would be a good place to have the tv cameras and sound cones and miscellaneous personnel.

Architect: well, a lot of stadiums did that back in the 70’s when they built those multi-purpose stadiums. It is kind of a clinical feel. Very cold and non inviting.

Rangers ownership: YES! That is exactly what we want. We hated the inviting style of the old Rangers ball park. 

Architect:

Don’t forget the advertising billboards

Imagine being Kershaw and pitching a pretty darn good game in the playoffs after so many rough playoff outings and some shmoe that has only ever even pitched 6 innings once before in his career out pitches you.

Assuming the Braves hang on that will be the main storyline for the game.  Got to feel a little sorry for him.

 

[TripleThreat]

 Got to feel a little sorry for him.

after 432 tire commercials, I don't feel even a little sorry

aint nobody beating the braves this year

 

[Capella]

Man the Rays are cooked. Crazy. 

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Man the Rays are cooked. Crazy. 

Can’t believe they are gonn blow a 3-0 series lead

 

[Capella]

Can’t believe they are gonn blow a 3-0 series lead

Their offensive approach is so different than it was during the season. Just hacking at everything. 

 

[Osaurus]

Yikes. Astros have the offense tonight  the Rays mostly had during the regular season. 

 

[Capella]

That Zunino at-bat was just not a professional at-bat. He wasn’t within 5 feet of the ball on all 3 pitches. 

 

[Buffaloes]

time to inventory the stadium's trashcans. astros are raking

 

[Zegras11]

Can’t believe they are gonn blow a 3-0 series lead

I blame Cap.

 

[ChiefD]

The Astros are just so unlikeable. And that’s without the cheating. 

 

[Capella]

I blame Cap.

My hockey team just won a cup.  

 

[ChiefD]

Dustin May reminds me of the kid from So I Married an Axe Murderer.

That gargantuan heed of his....

 

[Zegras11]

Dusty was an idiot to pitch Pressly.

 

[whoknew]

Mookie Betts is one hell of a player.

 

[Capella]

Dusty was an idiot to pitch Pressly.

What was it, 12 pitches? Won’t affect him 

 

[ChiefD]

That stadium looks like a livestock barn. 

 

[Capella]

That stadium looks like a livestock barn. 

Lol it’s unbelievably awful 

 

[Ron Swanson]

The Astros are just so unlikeable. And that’s without the cheating. 

I just don't follow this.  I've watched most of these guys come up and I generally think they're good likable guys, mostly from underprivileged backgrounds.  Bregman gives off a bit of a smarmy attitude but I just don't see where you get that with the rest of them.

 

[Zegras11]

What was it, 12 pitches? Won’t affect him 

And the 30 warm up and bull pen pieces he made.  Sure will affect him.

Well here’s hoping. Rays aren’t hitting anybody so not sure it matters.

Dusty will find a way to f it up. He always does.

Did you miss last offseason?

 

[Buffaloes]

Did you miss last offseason?

i don't get it either. the other guy said they were unlikable outside the cheating. i don't see it.

 

[whoknew]

Good point. I missed that. 

I didn't hate them until the cheating.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I wish Seager would start hitting a little 

 

[whoknew]

Mookie Betts is one hell of a player.

Bump. What a catch.

 

[RUSF18]

I beg your pardon sir...we were told that Betts stinks. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Why did he pull Buehler with only 89 pitches smfh 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Bring Baez back out for the 9th imo

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

That Zunino at-bat was just not a professional at-bat. He wasn’t within 5 feet of the ball on all 3 pitches. 

Update?

 

[RUSF18]

That was the most horrendous bunt in history and could've ended up as a double.

 

[Capella]

Update?

This one was much better?

I always appreciate when you post links to Twitter but it also makes me angry every time that this board software doesn't embed them automatically.

[rockaction]

Man the Rays are cooked. Crazy. 

Update, Cap? Looking good through four.

eta* Somebody actually already did this? In same terminology?

Jeez. Sorry man.

 

[Mr.Pack]

I really REALLY want a Rays-Braves WS

 

[Zegras11]

Another professional Zunino AB

 

[fred_1_15301]

I really REALLY want a Rays-Braves WS

Agreed.  And definitely rooting for the Braves!

 

[gump]

Beautiful...
