No need for that, what did Reynolds do to you? I had no idea if he had much postseason experience now I will never not think about what you said when he is talking. I
I find it hard to believe Pena isn't a Hall of Famer. I've heard he doesn't enjoy massages or have a helicopter wife.
While I despise walks as much as Smoltz, I am definitely more fearful of a solo shot which gives the team life and cuts down the deficit. What I found funny was when he was talking about needing to just keep getting through the lineup so Harper could come up. That was so strange because Philly could have easily been up 4-3 by the time Harper came up but he was already trying to build up drama when their 6th batter was up in the 8th inning. That was really strange and normally something a Joe Buck would do. P.S. Did anyone point out the lead commentator does Dodgers games? Was laughable on Altuve's triple and Pena's homerun how he was not enthusiastic at all which I have never heard in all my years listening to baseball. Your whole job is to create hype when there is a hard hit/long ball like he did perfectly on Realmuto's loud out to Chas. Anyways, I don't really care but I found it funny how he couldn't even fake excitement. Broadcasters get the best angles and know when a ball is struck well especially since they have watched so many games live in their careers.
Yep. I started using TeePublic when I wanted to make tees for myself. Then I started making them public for a few days for friends who wanted some.
I thought about this last night...since this run started in 2015 I haven't feared anyone as much as I fear Harper. Maybe Arozorena but that was just a guy on a heater. Harper feels like a combination of Bregman and Alvarez.
Exactly. Not sure why you people can't think outside the box. Everytime I've seen a relief pitcher walk a leadoff hitter with a 3+ run lead, I've uttered the words you're better off just giving up a home run. Of course I'm not talking about the sixth inning. More like the 8th and especially the 9th.
Well Wheeler and Nola are somewhat gassed. There was concern that Wheeler possibly would not even be ready for game 6..... this way they can pitch Suarez in games 6 and 7 and then try to get an inning each from Alvarado, Hand, Robertson and Dominguez if needed. They really probably only need 3-4 innings from their starters.... and they are hoping that Wheeler can get them through the order once or twice and Nola through the order once. Suarez Alvarado Hand Robertson They also can mix in Eflin
I would argue the same feelings when it came to having to face Soler last year and Soto in 2019….they were just otherworldly when we faced them..
IF the Astros win the World Series, Jeremy Pena has an excellent chance of winning MVP.... which would be impressive for a rookie that replaced a likely HOFer and for a guy that just won the ALCS MVP. Not bad for a scrawny middle infielder that was all glove and no bat at a middling college. No one can claim he didn't put in the work or didn't believe in himself.
They may be right, who knows. That incredible catch that McCormick made was eerily similar to the one that Jake Meyers did not make earlier in the regular season that cost us a game. That's what I base my opinion on. My first thought afterwards was, man are we lucky that Dubon or Meyers was not playing center field on that play. Whatever the case, that play will be talked about for a long time. Without it very possibly we would not be heading home up 3-2 in the series.
