    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

  • Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

Winning 2/3 in Boston insanely exceeded my expectations. Let’s close this shit out on Friday.

Also holy fuck Framber. Legendary Houston sports performance.

Lone star.

 

let’s close this out on friday and award the series mvp to who the fuck cares.

Yordan when he hits 3 more homers

finally watching postgame. is papi supposed to at least pretend to be impartial?

figure at this point it’ll be astros v braves just so we have to deal with ajp/frank thomas -> big papi -> smoltz. 

gattis/reddick need to get into broadcasting. i’ll settle for josh donaldson at this point. 

Donaldson and Stroman have been pretty pro Astros on twitter lately. They know what's up.

Listening to the Dojers broadcast and Charley Steiner bemoaning the third HR given up by Urias , was envious of the length that Framber showed today.  He should also be envious of the girth that Yordan showed.  

To be fair, they did get Josh Fields.

The Red Sox were 18th this year in walks. 

Weird how they became the most disciplined team at the plate we've faced all year in gm 3 and 4 at Fenway, with walks leading to bases loaded situations and then three grand slams in two games with huge blowouts early. 21 postseason HRs, a new record. Their hitters laid off breaking pitch after breaking pitch, many of which weren't perfect but quite a few were pitches that often generate swings. They were hitting EVERYTHING hard and super-selective at the plate.  

Then, the Astros miraculously stop giving up grand slams and the Red Sox bats don't do shit. They scored one run in the last 17 innings. 

And then there's a weird ass light in the outfield scoreboard discovered on a day when Framber Valdez absolutely mows down Red Sox hitters and does the one thing no Astros starter has been able to do in this series......go 3+ innings.

Alex Cora and the Red Sox need to get dragged for this because we all know the Astros would.

The light was being used to distract our hitters. Likely it was around Sale's release point, and made it harder to pick up his pitches. He had his best start of the postseason, until the light got shut off and the Astros immediately put 5 up on him and some relievers.

Jesus.

Pitcher for Friday.  I hate you.

One too many Weller’s

Good lord

Y’all need take off the tin foil hat and just enjoy the win

 

(and for the record, we (‘04 team) still own the record for most HRs through 9 postseason games)

The Xander home run last night was probably the most obvious pitch tipping incident I’ve ever seen. 
 

Devers is at first staring at Greinke. He makes no attempt to take a lead, or get in position to get a good jump. Just stares at Greinke. Zach gathers for the pitch, Devers motions towards home with his hands, and Xander hits it out. 
 

Perfectly legal, but it demonstrates how big a part of their offense it is.

Cora is already calling it a “fan operated light.” How convenient Alex.

I'm leaning more towards pitch tipping or the like, it would take a huge amount of stupidity for the sox to set up a technology based sign stealing

It's not tin foil hat. Three grand slams in two games????? 21 HRs? Alex Cora, the architect of the scheme with Houston? After MLB blamed their previous cheating on a rogue employee and gave the organization a free pass???

There is no way they weren't on our signs. The Astros and Strom just adjusted and made them pay.

their bats went crazy in games 2 and 3 but i agree.

I like the TBS score graphic better than the Fox Sports graphic.  

You don't like two shades of color for each team and three different fonts?

"And if not for that missed call in the 1st inning to Devers in game 2, that lead to their GS, the series would have ended tonight." ~ Bizzaro Jeff Passan.

Cora is the common denominator in all of the cheating issues/accusations from 2017 forward.

Oh, and add Beltran.

I think it was generally pitch tipping. Strom said as much. Live by it, die by it Cora. 
 

The outfield light should be investigated, but it probably won’t.

Probably a proctologist’s scope given the recent series trend.

I'm not 100% sure I'm ready to jump in on this yet, but if this is true, wouldn't it be damn near impossible for the home plate ump not to notice it as well?  Did our guys point it out to the ump?  There's got to be more to this story.  There isn't one good reason for any type of light to be flashing out there at any point during a playoff game.  And it wasn't some rogue fan, so...  What happened?

Thank goodness we have the ethical journalists at ESPN to ask the tough questions.  Answers are surely coming...

it looks great on tv and i'm a sucker for baseball history, but man that place is a fucking dump.

it's been a while since i've been, but last time there was water dripping on someone sitting in the seat like 3 to my right from...somewhere above us?  and the usher/red sox fans acted very non-surprised by it.  she just had to deal with it.

Absolute dump with obstructed views everywhere.   But a great place to watch a game.

Wrigley Field is just two years newer and still is a magnificent ballpark with excellent sight lines throughout. A good architect makes all the difference. 

Edited by billfromlaketravis

Am I missing an old joke? It looked pretty clearly like a flashlight and whoever was using it even started walking down some stairs before turning it off. I guess I could be seeing it wrong but that's what it looked like.

The outfield light was some clueless employee looking for something. There’s a bar under the bleachers there and they close it at game time.

Blame the site as much as the architect in my opinion as it relates to Fenway. But yeah the one time I went my view was obstructed and I hated the experience of actually watching the game

Probably not a good idea to look into construction contracts in Boston, however.

I love Fenway.  Sitting in the outfield is great. 

 

You guys should love it, too, we just won 2 of 3 there.
