Yea I missed out on the diss it also. It came up with one of my posts in this thread earlier. Not being on Twitter I seem to miss a few things if I don’t hear about it on the radio which personally I’m ok with......
I posted this earlier but basically the entire TBS crew for our series are affiliated with the Red Sox. Very odd choice for an ALDS broadcast crew. It’s akin to having Kalas, Morales and Blum call the Yankees/Red Sox series.
David Price was the one advantage the Red Sox had over us in the ALDS last year. I'd rather face the Red Sox because their bullpen isn't impressive outside of Kimbrel, and I'm not sold that Chris Sale is right. First and foremost though, we've still got to beat the Indians again. The Indians were up 2-0 against the Yankees last year and ended up losing, so they know this series isn't over.
Its mainly because Ernie Johnson cannot travel due to a blood clot, so they needed to get another team/pbp crew.
Man I hope you are right but that’s a dangerous team over there that’s likely to have the starting pitching edge, along with home field, in each of the next two games. I’m not counting any chickens right now.
Feels like I’m watching a rockets game being called by hubbie brown.. showing no love to Houston even after we take the lead
the Astros' national coverage is pretty weak in all media platforms. I get this weird sense that everyone recognizes but won't acknowledge that the Astros could potentially make the playoffs really boring by steamrolling everyone and as such aren't giving them much airtime. It's boring to be the team without significant flaws that has to overcome nothing.
That's certainly something to consider. They're the defending champs who haven't really faced much adversity other than Oakland being better that just about everyone thought. The prevailing belief was that this season would go much like 2017 where the Astros clinch the west in early Sept and coast to the playoffs. Outside of maybe the Osuna story, there's little interesting about a team expected to win big and then winning big...outside of the home territory. And you know MLB is just dreading a possible Houston/Milwaukee World Series.
I'm lurking and afraid to jinx anything, but excited about where things are headed right now. Game 3 makes me nervous, though.
Cry for the Indians. It is over, Girardi was teary after his Game 2 blunder (think BOB mistakes) which made his Yankees players motivated to win the series. In low scoring games, we r going to send the Indians to 2019. Indians don't trust one of their best Miller.
