Houston

 

Fried is toast

 

Looks like you're going to get your wish.

 

mmmmmm Fried toast!

 

This is purely for the Astros benefit. Yankees and Dodgers sitting at home would be delicious.

 

I totally get it. **** the Doyers. I already got part of my wish, that is, Joe Kelly got hit and pussed out. I just wish he'd gotten hit literally.

 

Fried still out there? Bad.

 

Not sure what good it does running him out there again. Dumb.

 

Of course the Braves would just go and choke today. I wouldn't expect anything else from a Atlanta sports team

 

How is losing to a 107 win team in their home stadium choking?

 

It was a bullpen game for the Dodgers and the Braves jumped out to a 2-0 lead, then they literally just died. Now they face Scherzer and Buehler in games 6/7. This is part 1 of the choke, there's two more chapters to go.

 

They beat scherzer last time and lit buehler up in the game 3 loss.

I’m still picking the braves to win one of the next two games at home

 

I mean when you take the zoomed out perspective there’s no reason to criticize the braves this much.

They are facing a juggernaut and protected home field. Then they stole one game in LA.

They are coming back home with 2 chances to win the series

 

So Betts just did the cardinal sin in baseball of not only stealing second in the 8th inning with a 5 run lead but then took off to steal 3rd.

Yes they are down 3-1 and want to make sure the other team doesn't score during their last 3 outs... but do you really want to wake up a team that has you to the wall? Betts may get plunked.

 

Plunk Taylor. Don't let him hit a 4th.

 

So that hip wiggle body jerk thing Jansen does doesn't constitute a balk?

 

tbh he seems like one of the most likable guys on their team though.

 

HAHA Chris Taylor is as much of a d1ck as anyone on the Dodgers. Don't let the clean trim fool ya!
