October 12, 20205 yr Darling and Frenchy are an interesting combo in the booth. A guy who went to Yale and a guy who can't spell Yale.

October 12, 20205 yr I think you're right, but sometimes I dislike something and then later it grows on me.
October 12, 20205 yr I think you're right, but sometimes I dislike something and then later it grows on me. There's a Mariner fan joke in this, but I'm too tired to conjure it up.

October 12, 20205 yr You really have to respect how Dusty wears his mask. I thought it was a one off when I saw it like that the other day.

October 12, 20205 yr As a die hard Red Sox fan, who has no love for anyone in the division, gotta say I love how the Rays are playing.
October 12, 20205 yr Bold strategy by ole bregs to swing at the first pitch when the pitcher can barely throw a strike.
October 12, 20205 yr Furk. Hoping y'all turn it around and take the flag. Great to see good baseball flourishing in Texas. SIAP: Wednesday & Thursday first pitch announced both at 7:40p-CDT.

October 13, 20205 yr You can't just take the fact that Anderson walked two guys as evidence that he's much more likely to walk the next batter or two than what would be normally expected from him, and he's walked 5.2% of the batters he's faced this season. The odds of them walking twice to tie the game was less then 10%, and that's being generous. Bregman's lineout on the other hand had over a 40% chance of becoming a hit and tying the game. This has been a really weird series. The Astros have hit the ball about as well as anyone could have expected, and the Astros pitching has been phenomenal. Yet here we are.

October 13, 20205 yr Agree to disagree. You’re not wrong, but he just seemed wild and overwhelmed by the moment. I would’ve forced him to prove that his heart rate slowed down and he could actually throw it over the plate. Also, sure you guys had some bad babib luck but the game was decided in the first inning by the bad throwing error. You guys win if that play doesn’t happen. But obvious statement is obvious Edited October 13, 20205 yr by youdunnf'dup

Also, sure you guys had some bad babib luck but the game was decided in the first inning by the bad throwing error. You guys win if that play doesn’t happen. But obvious statement is obvious The error wasn’t bad luck. The homer wasn’t bad luck. It was bad luck though that they managed to hit one of their two homers on one of the maybe one or two occasions in the entire game where they had multiple base runners. Errors suck, but the end result is no different than a base hit or a walk, which the Rays yielded far more of in this game than the Astros. What mattered was the particular sequencing of those events, something neither team has much control over. In the last game the winning run scored because one grounder was hit so weakly the runner was able to advance to second. This is baseball so these things happen fairly regularly.
