    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

never in doubt

Love that Hader allowed every base runner he inherited to score because fuck Turd Ferguson. 

When is MLB going to make a check swing a reviewable call?

 

it’s a real problem that’s already had postseason implications 

 

I did, at least, hear at the Express game the other night that they are bringing the ABS challenge system to spring training next year so that’s a positive development

I wholeheartedly agree.  Additionally,  we need to have automated calls for balls/strikes.

Welp, got the sweep. Too bad Arlington couldn't be of any use. 

81-68. 13 games left with a 4.5 game lead.

Magic number is 9. I would think 6 or more wins is likely enough.

 

I am a big fan of the challenge system, moreso than robo home plate ump.

I've been saying 90 wins, so I want 9 more wins.

Somehow, it works in tennis.  It can work in baseball.

M’s can only reach 89 wins, if they win out

Almost a guarantee that the challenge system will be in place for the 26 baseball season.

I heard ‘27.

 

i hope it’s ‘26.

the good news is every year it’s used in the minors that’s that many more guys who have known nothing else in pro baseball by the time they get to The Show.

you'll have a long tail  of old timers like JV but I imagine you’ll quickly reach over half of the players that are used to it by the time they introduce it in the majors.

Of course, this the players, not the umps a lot of which are around longer than most of the players haven alive. i have no idea what’s been happening on the ump union front

Never easy

 

9-4 to close out or get fuqt

Wow
Roof is open at NRG.

Hopefully the Astros take a lesson from this.

 

did MLB cause them to stop opening it mid game or is that something g the team decided to stop doing years ago?

I missed the game as I was traveling for work today, but explain something to me. How does Hader get credited with a save when it was 6-1 and bases loaded as he entered the game?  I didn't know that a pitcher could allow inherited runners to score to close the gap to >3 during the inning in which they earn the Save. If he doesn't allow any rims, then there is no Save, right?

From what I remember about the rules (that I haven't checked in awhile) they consider it a save situation if the tying run is in the on-deck circle when the pitcher comes in (or if they pitch 3+ innings to close out the game/win)

This is right I think. So, 5 runs is the max lead to get a save if the guy doesn't go 3 innings.

Correct

 

still annoyed ort/Ferguson didn’t do their job and we had to use Hader in the first place with the Padres up next

Can someone explain the logic of this? Saves in general are kind of a fluff stat to me but this seems extra egregious for a meaningless stat imo

Sure.  Normal deal is a 3 run lead if you start out with the bases loaded.  So, tying runner is in the hole.  

If you come in and the bases are juiced up 5, tying runner is on deck and you get a save.

I read this 10 times and don’t get it.

i think you meant:

Normal deal is a 3 run lead if you start out with a clean inning/no one on.  So, tying runner is in the hole.  


but yeah, the idea is that you get more of a cushion to save a game if you come in and clean up a mess you inherited.

Yes- that is what I meant.

Probably will score a run if we're lucky

Took a while to set it up but beautiful pitch call and execution to get that K (after arraez looked silly on that exact same pitch on his first swing in his first AB)

Man I’m tired of arrighetti throwing an inning’s worth of pitches to every one of their batters and we’re going 3 up, 3 down  on 9 pitches 

Strike em out throw em out. Love it
