    LMJ doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

    Assume they will alternate day and night with the other series. TBS doesn't want to get stuck with all day games this week.

    Bats made contact, double play in second inning Was the difference maker in the game. Had Snell on the ropes. Our pitching was solid.

    When do they release the stats on the missed calls from the game? How many calls the home plate ump missed

    My hometown minor league team is a farm club of the Rays. I felt it was biased and the announcers should be given Tampa Bay Rally Towels as they were announcing. I'm a lifelong Astros fan, I look forward to seeing if the enthusiasm is as great when we are winning late game.

    Remember before y’all sink all your hopes into this one. WE WERE NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. Yet we are. Enjoy it while we’re here. These guys will figure it out. They’re veteran’s now. This team just beat the Yankees. They’re not bad.

    It’s not that often you watch a baseball game and think “holy crap this is rigged”. Game 1 of the Yankee series was an atrocity, this was up there

    OK. You have very selective memory though, just in this postseason.

    I don't think some of you realize just how bad some broadcasts are. TBS crew has been a ****ing dose of sunshine. I hope they do every national game from here until Armageddon.

    Honestly, I think that about all sports and the money it generates as the tournament gets smaller and smaller, thats why I said **** that ump. Theres still nothing that can be done about it now, just look at the atrocious calls against the Rockets with gsw. Just gotta move on.

    Basketball is different, there’s a long history of fixing games. Obviously we know silver took the 18 title from us, it just hurts more in baseball because you (or at least me) don’t expect it.

    MLB does not, Ump Union makes them keep all that and the reviews in-house.

    Look at this later tonight or tomorrow: https://twitter.com/UmpScorecards

    Gonzalez was terrible, but he was terrible all around.

    I have to agree. The broadcasting crew has been more fair to us than I expected. Just use local radio if they bother ya

    Edit.

    Thanks, pretty smart actually by them. The only reason to even have humans calling balls and strikes is to give them the option to fix games, no other reason for it.
