Honestly I've no idea why they're carrying Shreve if he doesn't go to him there.

(Nice camera on that fly ball by Mauer)

(Worth pointing out Kahnle really celebrated that last out of the 7th. Like he thought he’d done his job.)

Who would have guessed that Chad Green would have the shortest outing of any middle reliever?

Pretty bad little-league baserrunning by Granite, there.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Tue Oct 03, 2017 11:03 pm

I look forward to learning about the Rockies and the Diamondbacks tomorrow.

The money Arizona spent on making its roof retractable strikes me as really wasteful.

Steve of phpBB · Post by **Steve of phpBB** » Wed Oct 04, 2017 7:29 pm

Dammit. I really want the Rockies to make the NLDS.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Oct 04, 2017 8:02 pm

Arizona has trapped these birds inside this indoor facility, where is PETA on this?

Those girls waving signs right behind home plate while the Rockies’ pitcher is in his wind-up.

Good fans or dick move? (I think the latter.)

Well...

Two-out two-run triples in successive innings, one by a pitcher. Hard to compete with that.

Was pretty pumped after Goldy's HR.

Also, kinda feel like throwing up.

I feel like this series/postseason could be the Justin Verlander HOF tipping point. How are the shadows at MMP at 5:00?

Game will be over by then, friend.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Thu Oct 05, 2017 10:14 am

Yeah but Joe Kelly could kill someone

I should probably pick an avatar that doesn't look exactly like the Astros logo at a glance

Well, he won't be facing Pablo Sandoval this time.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:01 pm

No runs in the first inning, how boring is that

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:05 pm

Michael Kay, of all people, made a good tweet tonight.

I'm in a hotel in Philly. No MLB network for the late afternoon lull and no FS1 for the post dinner time. WTF.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:32 pm

It's pretty obvious and doesn't need to be said, but Cleveland will be throwing a no-hitter tonight.

Philly sucks?

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:59 pm

I've been pretty pleased with it so far!

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Thu Oct 05, 2017 8:17 pm

The Yankees would probably win this game if they weren't going to get no-hit.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu Oct 05, 2017 8:19 pm

Double reverse jinx needs a third.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Fri Oct 06, 2017 9:04 am

Althreeve, amirite?

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Fri Oct 06, 2017 10:21 am

It dawned on me that Gary Sanchez will likely play the majority games of his career as a DH.

He fucking sucks behind the plate.

Heh. Not a bad start.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Fri Oct 06, 2017 1:33 pm

Houston/Cleveland would be a helluva series.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Fri Oct 06, 2017 1:36 pm

fwiw, Bregman is from the little town in New Mexico where my parents live.

Yikes:

Pretty obviously going to be a no-hitter

Clearly.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Fri Oct 06, 2017 2:20 pm

About 5 Giancarlo Stantons would be enough to win this series, I think

Turner ... Harper ... Rendon ... Murphy ... Zimmerman

Just saw the Nationals lineup and damn, that's scary.

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Fri Oct 06, 2017 5:29 pm

So yeah. That Kluber sure was impressive tonight.

Is it really that much scarier than Zobrist ... Bryant ... Rizzo ... Contreras ... Schwarber?

I hope those names strike fear into others. But none of Zobrist, Contreras, or Schwarber have OPSs or stats as good as Washington's 2-5 hitters.

Bryant through Schwarber are all good enough that they *can* do as well or better than Washington's guys. But it's less likely.
