[Official] Astros @ Royals

I'm kinda hoping the Angels don't make a move. Keep on doing what they're doing.

 

He needs to step down from NFL fantasy football commish

 

Its funny how every year before season starts the media hypes them up as the team to beat in the west. Lol

 

What people aren't mentioning is "that pitch" was really "those pitches"

It happened twice within 3 throws

Maybe it wasn't intentional but an easy easy eeeeasy argument can be made it was

 

And the guy pitching to Chas in the 8th threw the first 2 pitches way inside that could have hit him. Nothing happened, who cares, play on.

 

But, neither pitch was a pitch that was a typical "throw at" pitch. Didn't go behind him. Didn't aim at his butt or up and in. The hitter didn't take offense.

 

Do they, though?

 

and Yordan got hit with a slider around knee level

Taylor was absolutely talking with the HPU after the 1st pitch, though. Not sure why he thinks anyone would want to throw at him

 

This is a statement of fact and thus not in any way a prediction and double thus is not in any way a jinxable affront to the Baseball Gods:

Stros have 99.3% odds to make the postseason according to fangraphs

 

So Maton is contradicting Pressly. Guess he didn't get the memo.

 

The expression on his face after the second one showed offense

 

Didn't see that. But the Astros had 2 runners on and one out. Do you really think the ump or Chaz believed intent?

 

And the Stros had 1 on and 2 out in a 1-run game when Yordan got plunked with a slider.

The only dipshits who believed intent were Taylor and the HPU

 

Almost every year on MLB network they hype up the angels.

 

It's been more of a "Can someone in the ALW challenge the Astros this season?"

It was the A's in 18/19/20 and this year it's the Angels (also, along with the A's it was "is THIS the year the Angels break through?!?"). Seattle seems to be the popular future pick.

ETA: a lot of the hype is just people wanting to see Trout and Ohtani in the postseason, which is understandable

 

Do sliders show less intent than FBs?

I questioned intent on that play

 

Yes, when you want to hit someone you do not throw a breaking ball.

I question your questionings.

 

Astros now -550 to win the West
