    I’d like to remind everyone that 2 of the 5 games were pitching duels, one game lasted a little over 2 hours, and the other game was a 1 freaking hitter into the 9th. All this talk about slick and juiced baseballs is laughable to me. The umpires check the baseballs. The pitchers can throw out the balls if they don’t like them. I’m not sure I believe it.

    You don't have to believe anything - Santa Claus, gravity - but this is pretty much established at this point. Your 2 next to last sentences are nonsensical wrt the topic at hand.

    It's a running joke by all the pitchers, right

    This is a good plan. Take the 1 guy off so you can ignore everyone who is talking to him, then ignore that guy again.

    PLEASE let it be a 2 hour 2-1 game. I went to sleep at 9pm last night & woke up at 4am. I'll have no chance with another high scoring, much less extra innings game.


    And here I got worried certain recent events would be eating away in his head. A mentally unflappable hitting savant.

    "Uhh...uhhh...Clayton Krenshaw! Corey Streager!"

    Those were two names this Dodger fan at the bar told me were on the team when I asked who was on the starting lineup. He claimed to be bigfan because he had three Dodger hats lmao

    Not only that but it was like 100+ degrees in LA to start the series which is 100% proven to make balls fly further.

    Cypress is funny. The more Cypress the better. And finalsbound was right. Even his response post is hilarious read in Chang's voice.

    Anyway, as far as baseball goes. We've got to hope for the best from Verlander, but we can't expect anything. The more run support he gets the better. We might need every bit of offense we can muster. I agree with the theory that generally speaking, the more time players see pitchers in the course of a week or whatever, the more players are ready to get hits off of that pitcher. The good thing is is that Verlander has a fantastic winning attitude, and I think he can persevere through anything.

    Let's go Astros.

    Correa's Game 5 HR had a 48° launch angle with a 169' Apex

    WS Game 5 winner (series tied 2-2) wins series 66.7% of the time.

    I’m expecting the unexpected. To quote Captain Cold, “Create the plan, execute the plan, expect the plan to go off the rails.”

    So I'm wondering if my boss will allow a siesta today. I'm not expecting to get much sleep tonight.

    Hard to imagine that in about 160 combined seasons, this will only be the 3rd time a Houston team has taken the court/field with a chance to win a title in one of the big 3.

    Went well the first 2 times.
