    there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

    The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

THAT"S MY OG SWAGGER DICK

The Astros might not be phased, but their fans sure the fuck are !!!!!

Seriously what the fuck was that arrogant fuckface thinking?

He was thinking I can end this tomorrow, even though Sale is pitching tomorrow. Need to ride this momentum to put up a crooked number in the 1st tomorrow and get back to the pen.

Would anyone else consider starting Javier for Game 6?

The unsung hero tonight? Aledmys Diaz. 

 

I knew Castro would come through with a big hit, but my fear was Diaz gidp'ing us into a series loss and he wisely struck out instead allowing Castro to hit.

whatever dusty and Strom decide, I’m backing. 110 % !!!!!!

I don't think so.  He just came out of the pen and kicked ass.  I'd use him the same way again.

BROOKS RALEY. 

Yeah I said it.

is it possible for them to discuss altuve's postseason homers without WhAt aBOuT aLL ThE eXtrA RouNDs?

dude has played half the games bernie and manny did.

I posted- this feels like a DP here. When he struck out I was like- cool cool Castro will give us a quality AB.

It's really just moving him up an inning.  Why not?

Pivetta was dealing, so let's take him out of the game and go to the shittiest part of the team. When analytics go wrong, thank you Cora.

Lulz, they are going to beat that missed call into the ground. Did they expect Castro to say, "Yeah, he got me."

These were my thoughts as well. The entire AB after getting down in the count “please just K”

and was livid Correa didn’t see that ball bounce away from Vazquez and get out of the double play setup

At least the Fox host brought up the bad non-strike in the first when Papi started bitching about the pitch to Castro. 

it's 11:45 i haven't eaten anything i've had 3+ beers since 7 and my nearest two taco bells have gotten demolished and there's no way i'm getting to sleep before 3 am

diaz also got a garbage strike called on him, while we're on the subject.  boston acting like dude missed one call all night.

But I will never say a bad word about Diaz. We don’t win a World Series in 2017 if he is able to get out of the way of Devo’s pick off throw. Lifetime immunity for that dude. 

Some of us in this very thread were talking about this Laz Diaz guy before the series even started.

I warned y’all.

Ump missed pitches both ways -- Astros played better tonight and won.  

THE END

We had our share of bad calls all postseason.. its part of the game. They should take the strike zone box off the screen, it would save so much anxiety for so many people..

maybe what I love the most abiut the 9th is 12 plate appearances, only 2 XBHs (and no HRs)

23 missed call tonight I think I heard. Not good Bob. Not good. 

And I bet out of those 23 missed 20 went in favor of the Red Sox.

Yes it's not like there are stats that are easily found on how bad these umps are, and yet they keep getting assigned post season games. Forgive me if I don't give a shit about a missed call in favor of the Astros after game 3 of the White Sox series, that likely contributed to the Astros losing our best pitcher.

FU Boston. You ain’t so bad without grand slams!

When we got past the 2nd inning with the Astros only down one, I knew they were winning it.  

Just now, henrygandorf said:

 

He pitched out of his mind tonight, and despite the BBs, he still didn't hit 60 pitches. He will be ready for game 6.

The shitty zone is a problem when it helps the Astros, obviously.  Laz (my man!) made 12 errors for one team and 11 for the other.

 

It's all bullshit, should be a computer, but hearing these fuckers gripe about the strike zone is pathetic.

I ran the numbers on that ball to Castro and pitches of that type and in that location to LHB are called a strike <30% of the time.  Good take by Castro on a pitch that was very unlikely to be called a strike.

It wasn't even that egregious wtf if had gone the other way, there's zero chance Jeff Passan is tweeting about that one green dot in a bushel of green dots....
