2020 World Series - Dodgers vs Rays
Congrats to the West Cost Yankees and their fans. I hope this brings them joy and peace after obsessing over their 2017 loss for the last 12 months. And I don't care what Turner did, but it is funny that is now a headline.

Astros 2020-21 offseason- can't be any worse than last year, right? RIGHT?
I thought Luhnow was great in the interview. I'm sure there's something you could pick apart and claim he is lying and was the mastermind, but he has always come across honest to me (if anything, to a fault). Wherever he ends up, I'll root for him. Losing him was easily the biggest blow from the whole thing, and ultimately the most unfair.

Speaking of Luhnow...has anyone listened to that podcast that's out about the scandal?

I think we will go after guys for their market price but can’t see Crane/Click offering guys 150% of what other teams will offer.

It’s going to be hard to attract/retain FA’s for awhile. It will take a lot of money to offset the idea of going to play for one of the most hated teams in sports history.

Tough loss and series but they made this season a ton of fun. Even with Springer likely gone there is a lot to look forward to with this team. Excited for a reaL offseason rather than the shit we went through after the WS in 2019.

Don’t see how we come back with the ball not carrying. Likely last ABs from Springer, Brantley, and Reddick as Astros coming up.

It only takes one inning. Come on boys

I’m ok with standing pat. Given the draft penalties and recent deals we can’t really afford to mortgage any more of the future. We are one win away from the WS, despite tonight’s score, so I’d say it worked out.

Morton has it tonight. It was a good run, but our bats aren’t even close.

The difference in command tonight between Morton and Lance is comical.

I love the 3 batter rule but that was going to happen with or without COVID. 100p agree on pitch clock, and stop granting batters timeouts (only 1 per AB). I think they should keep the no off days in the DS. Game 1 is a night game, game 2 is a day game to allow travel that night, game 3 is a night game, game 4 a day game for travel, game 5 a night game. Only 1 off day in the CS and WS after game 5. Neutral site is kind of fun but I don’t see how it practically makes sense in the future. Just leave that for the WBC. Hate the expanded postseason field so we disagree there.

ALCS: Astros vs Rays
Honestly, the Astros should have won at least one of the first 3 games. Baseball is weird though and it’s any team’s game tomorrow.

I also love this team. What a roller coaster ride with this crew. An unforgettable era.

Lock up Correa. He is the glue now.

Basically recreate what the Cardinals have done. Always competitive with a shot at the playoffs. Make a deadline deal to shore up any weakness before the playoffs and you have a chance to win the whole thing.

I think more importantly the farm system needs to always produce new talent. Hopefully Click can make that happen even with the draft penalties.

Nailed it! Five hours of pain. Pitch clock please

How many guys do we leave on base this inning? I’m going with 2.

We give them outs, they take away hits. Pretty simple.

Sucks for Tuve. Feel bad for him. Everyone is going to dance on his grave too.
