Dbacks karma might be screwed. They're pulling Kelly and he looked pissed.

Anyway…

 

[Insein]

Welp two game 7's it is.

 

[Major]

Not having a good feeling about the Stros today. Hope this home field disadvantage doesn't ring true again.

edit: just checked it's now 2-0 in the first

Update

 

[ChiefD]

Scherzer looks like he’s sixty and that he just got off work at the plant

 

[FreeBaGeL]

More blown opportunities for the Stros, just like all their home games in this series. Already two innings with a runner on 3rd and 1 out that they didn't bring home.

And getting so tired of seeing them hit those balls up the middle when Texas has shifted the defense over there on every batter leaving gigantic holes on that side of the infield that they just don't attack at all.

 

[AAABatteries]

Garcia getting payback

 

[BeTheMatch]

Garcia getting payback

Dusty opting to pitch to him there with first open seems questionable at best.

And letting France, who clearly doesn't have it tonight, stay in to face him.

Dusty has been awful tonight.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Feels like that should be reviewable.

 

[dino259]

Feels like that should be reviewable.

Call of the guy 90 feet away with player in the way versus guy 10 feet away. Should defer to better view.

It isn't a better view though, 1B ump is obstructed in that situation. Still could be reviewable.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Gotta get Diaz in here, no? Gonna leave Maldano in with 2 runners on while down 6 runs?

No idea what Dusty is doing

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Brantley just hits the ball to the same spot every time no matter how much the defense cheats there. Great start over Dubon, who was one of their 5 hitters that hasn't been mostly worthless in this series.

Brantley has had runners on in every at bat tonight, and he's ended the inning in every at bat.

 

[BeTheMatch]

I will not miss Dusty's toothpick or Pena's incessant spitting or Altuve's 76-inch bat or Abreu's beaning everyone.

But I'm kinda going to miss Tucker's complete postseason unraveling.

 

[Major]

Really glad I didn't fork over good money to go the game tonight. Minute Maid looks extremely depressing unless you're a Rangers fan

 

[Orange&Blue]

Garcia is a badman

Yeah, it was frustrating to watch. It seemed no one else really hit this series outside of Altuve, Bregman and Alvarez. Tucker was abysmal.

 

[The Gator]

Feel like Charles Leclerc > Jose Leclerc.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

About time for Brantley to end it with a double play here.

 

[GregR]

Well that sucks. Still, great to have a team playing this late into October so I'll try to make myself focus on that as much as possible.

Good luck to those whose teams are still in it.

 

[ChiefD]

Looking forward to a Rangers/Whatever NL team wins

Fresh meat. Should be a fun series and I wouldn't mind whoever wins it at this point.

 

[Bogart]

Excellent ALCS. Congrats to the Astro fans here. With the money spent, not going to say this Texas team is scrappy, but they are ahead of schedule.

Memories of Nelson Cruz and David F'in Freese hopefully getting pushed aside by Garcia bombs, Seager and Semien paying off that investment, Carter and Jung showing they are ready and the pitching doing just enough.

 

[SWC]

i for one consider seeing the cheaterstros lose as just a few steps behind when we beat the germans in wwii great day waking up here in america brohans take that to the bank

It is definitely the HP umps call for anything that is before the bag but I have no idea why that couldn't be reviewed. I suppose their rationale could be that ball hooked into the corner after hitting before the base (making it HP ump call) that is called foul stops everything and if it ended up fair after review then the play was stopped. However, I think they have been able to award bases based on umpire judgement in other cases. I just don't get why this isn't reviewable.

 

[FatMax]

Bochy is the perfect manager for that squad. I love that guy.

I'll be rooting for you guys. Still remember our first championship back in 2017. It's a cool feeling. Do it for Buddy Bell and Oddibe McDowell.

Don't forget Rueben Sierra......or Jose Canseco heading the ball over the fence. Do it for them too...

Love all these random, lesser known players and Lol at Dean Palmer. Probably have about 50 of his Upper Deck rookie card still sitting in my closet if you're a buyer.

I'd prefer the gum.

Upper Deck was the first card company not to include gum

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

We can't forget Doc Medich and Toby Harrah and Lenny Randle.

 

[loser]

And Ted Williams!

 

[The Man With No Name]

And Sammy Sosa

 

[Zegras11]

and Pudge

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Pat Putnam and Billy Sample.

 

[Major]

Let's not forget a young Pete Incaviglia. That dude would smash the cover off the ball. I think he still holds the college record for HRs.

 

[ChiefD]

Let’s not forget Walker.

Chico?

 

[General Malaise]

And RBI.

When he wasn't hitting home runs, he would cool off the Arlington faithful with strong breezes from wildly missing the baseball.

Haha, he was definitely ahead of his time. Now it seems every team has a few Incaviglias.

Fun Scott Fletcher trivia: Scooter was the first athlete in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to make a millon dollars a year. Not a Cowboy or Maverick or SMU Mustang, but Scott Freakin Fletcher.
