    I think it's the lack of a crowd. It just feels weird watching without that playoff energy.

    Anybody putting all their eggs in this basket, or this playoff system, is going to be disappointed annually.

    best thing is to have won prior to this carnival show format.

    They’re also not physically at the stadium. They’re calling it from tv monitors in Bristol.

    Freaking Valdez man. Also Baker stuck with him even with the lead in the 9th and after the two hits. Proud of that guy.

    That too. Kinda hard to expect them to have that energy when they're watching it on tv like us from 1,000 miles away.

    I, mean, for 3 hours the announcers went on how there was little excitement in the Astros bench. I feel if there was no covid they'd still be getting Julia wet after walkoffs.

    As per ESPN:
    Who are the greatest threats to the Dodgers and Rays?
    Atlanta and Minnesota.

    Should have waited until the Twins got out of the first series at least...

    The reason we won is because I started playing woody puzzle on my phone while watching.

    ****, well I guess it's gonna be a thing now...

    They should just stfu and turn off the volumn to watch the game like some of us. Work great for me. Will do the same tomo. When they compared stats from 2017 to a shortened/covid 2020 season, that’s was it for me. Do that for Dodgers/yankees too please if you have the balls ESPN!!!

    How fun would it be if tomorrow all these happen:

    Astros win
    Astros advance
    Athletics lose
    Mike Fiers loses
    Dallas Keuchel wins
