Watching it again, I love how the guys in the dugout don't even wait to see the ball land. 

 

 

 

Because it hasn't.

Judge needs to be in Houston just to watch Nick implode. 

If Meyers is actually starting today I may drop 2 bills on him hitting a homer.  I am guessing on the site I use he will be like +800

Supposed to start in CF.  Him hitting a HR off Castillo seems.......optimistic

+800 doesn't seem like very good odds to me. He has been so shitty this year I'd think his true odds were something like 1 in 20 to hit a HR in any particular game, but I don't know shit about fuck with that kind of bet.

Well i don't have a hard on for Dusty like most here. He makes the right move waaaay more than he makes the wrong one since he had been Astros mgr but haters gonna hate

No one is over +900

Yordan doesn't have to prove shit to anybody, he's already been an ALCS MVP and hit a Lidgian walkoff in a huge moment, but wouldn't it be fuckin awesome if he went ballistic like Beltran in '04? That was the most insane hot streak I've ever seen from a hitter in the postseason.

Hard to argue with Diaz over Mancini, although I do think at least some of Mancini's issues are BABIP related. 

Mancini swings and misses way too often.  That’s his main problem.  He also gets down in the count quickly in most of his at bats.

Are those bad things for a hitter?

This is a simple game.  You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball. 

Don't do one of the three, and you're not worth much.

that's cool but in the interest of accuracy he didn't actually catch that ball, the seat behind him caught it.

Miss that dude and wish him all the best.  I'll always be a fan.  But he was the man in charge, and that is who has to take the fall - even if it was all MLB kabuki..

He was suspended for one year, he has been gone for three. Bring him back, hire Espada before anyone can steal him away, and make the Death Stros fully operational.

I agree, but I’d like to see him in left if that’s the case. Hate to lose his versatility by making him DH.

I’m shocked it’s still intact if we are being honest. That should look like the ball in The Natural.

I guess the Stros agree with the general sentiment (aka the numbers fully support) Yordan being a better hitter when playing LF rather than DH. Certainly with our home park dimensions. I’d give that up over using his versatility to get him in the lineup for 4 ABs. 

Yordan also has one of the better arms in the outfield.

I can see that side as well…my only counterpoint would be this brings Dubon into play for Dusty, and I’m really not a fan of that.

I very selfishly want it to stay where it is.  I'm a WFH guy, so it's easy to keep a window open with the game.  Plus, it's my anniversary, and I can take my wife out to dinner without getting in trouble for checking the score every 5 minutes.

Your mistake (getting married in October) shouldn’t result in the rest of us getting punished

I was active duty at the time, so we didn't have a very large window of opportunity where I had leave between duty stations.  It worked out fine, because she is an OU grad and our anniversary always falls within a week or so of TX/OU weekend, which is fun.  It also happens to be the Navy's Birthday, so for years we had a built in fancy event where we could celebrate.

One of the biggest fights we ever had was during our first anniversary actually being together (missed the first two because of deployments) when I "went to the bathroom" during dinner and popped into the restaurant bar to check on game 1 of the 2004 NLCS.

That means it's guaranteed to happen.  So we've got that going for us, which is nice.

it's been a fantastic last few sports days with Game 1 win in the most dramatic manner imaginable, Horns blow out OU at the most historic clip, Cowboy & Texans win, Aggy lose.  Dreamland! Let's add to that this afternoon.

there was a whole thing on twitter on tuesday where guys were texting their wives/gf "hey, i'm skipping the football game tonight so we can watch one of our shows!"

then people posted screenshots.  a few were like, "oh, that's so sweet, let's try that netflix period piece blah blah".  a lot of them were like, "there is no football on tuesday night you mother fucker".  then some of them were like, "no no, covid pushed some games around, it's crazy!"  which really didn't work either.  it was all pretty amusing.
