And any game Lester doesn't win is a good game... douche.

I'd prefer 2014 to 2017 baseball, but home runs are fun to see. This year is just nuts though. Everybody and their mother hitting double digit homers.

The funny thing is everyone complains about pace of play, this juiced ball thing is absolutely the worst thing you could do. Taxes the pitching staffs beyond belief and makes the games last forever.

On the bright side, at least those were earned.... unlike watching games at the ****ing ridiculous Minute Maid Park, where a line drive off the concrete wall in left is a home run and a line drive off the padding is a single.

Puig is entertaining.

Chris Sale and Justin Verlander making bullpen appearances today. Welcome to 2017 playoff baseball!

It's definitely like we've crossed over into a different thought process in playoff baseball strategy. It's always been different than the regular season for sure, but now it's basically throw everything you have against the wall and don't hold anything back. Astros are going to get hammered if they blow this game.

Did the Royals and Giants start the trend in 14?

The 'Cyborg Bullpen'.

The Giants using Bumgarner to 'Bumgarner' teams.

That infield looks like straight mud.

WilliamTheIrish 10-09-2017 02:05 PM

That was a nasty pitch by Sale.

'Stros tie it with Bregman HR. And Gattis gets jammed and hits a grounder just over the corner of the 3B bag that the ball girl picks up by mistake. GR2B. Lead run at 2nd

WilliamTheIrish 10-09-2017 03:00 PM

'Stros taking care of business late. 5-3 Houston ^9th.

KCUnited 10-09-2017 03:07 PM
