    Personally I find the food in LA to be vastly over-rated. I am not hating on LA either, there are parts about it that are nice and beautiful. I will say it isn't any fun seeing some douche bag with a 200K car next to some strung out homeless kid from Oregon that has a bad heroin habit.

    Reminds of RudyTBag which is arguably the best avatar and handle on CF.

    They get a little desperate in LA after losing to the Astros.

    The L.A. fans are as stupid as the team.

    Pitchers like to get in a rhythm, and with all the trash they were throwing on the field, it certainly didn't help Buehler.

    As for the team, if you're so concerned about signs being stolen, here's an idea, CHANGE THEM UP....multiple times in an inning if need be. It's NOT like the 'Stros were the only team doing this.

    You want to be pissed off look in the mirror at your own stupidity!!

    I won't debate "normal" because I have no clue how different pitchers get the various actions on the pitches. Two different pitchers can throw the same pitch and they each move differently. If a change-up used for varying speed with the same arm action also has different movement, is it still a change-up?

    I don't know. But I do remember seeing breaking pitches with movements both to and away from the arm side (slider action) as well as 12-6 action (curve action) without even getting into arm slot, screw balls, 2 seamers and 4 seamers (fastballs), ephus pitches, knuckle balls and unusual arm slots.

    It just looked to me like pitches I see routinely. Perhaps I'm wrong because of the speed.

    The most mind-boggling part of these vids is that the ones causing trouble are usually wearing Mookie Betts jerseys...let that sink in.

    Would be so awesome if we chased Scherzer early with some bombs.

    Is it wrong that this makes me want to run through a brick wall for these Astros?

    Do the dodgers fans know their team has done more sign stealing then houston? Ir has the media done such a good job of lying to everyone that most fans genuinely don’t know the reality.

    Max is a tough out. If any lineup can get to him it will be this one. Would be nice to see the lineup top to bottom mashing again. Same for the pitching staff its been struggling as a whole of late. Hope we time out the best baseball to coincinde with playoff SZN.

    Jake needs to just battle. He's been great at times and then lately he's been off. Hope his matchup vs Sherzer and all the hype brings out the best in him dude can deal when he's locked in.

    I would like to once again thank Josh Fields for all of his contributions as an Astro.
