Anyone know if the Astros radio call of the game is posted/archived somewhere? Want to hear our guys' call of the final play?
I may be wrong but I don't think our radio guys call postseason games.

You are wrong. I almost wrecked my truck due to me ripping my clothes off while driving on the beltway listening on 790

Aaron Judge, using all of his athleticism, cut the ball off at the edge of the warning track and fired into the infield. He looped the ball over Starlin Castro's head and reached Gregorius on one bounce at second.
Haha, that article is ridiculous. Altuve was sent home because Judge misplayed that one and threw it into the guy defending 2nd, not the cut-off guy. He also didn't throw it with any urgency.lead said:

I would just like to point out that Gary Sanchez is a garbage catcher who drops more than his fair share of balls, whether coming from his pitches or his SS on a relay to home.
And I am so thankful for him.
I heard a pedicab guy yelling "Run Forrest" at someone on Texas. Was that you?third coast.. said:
I ranout of the ballpark like forest Gump as soon as we won
Oh please, that was the brilliant ploy by Judge and it worked except that Sanchez dropped the ball. If he threw to the cut off man, Pettis would have certainly held even the speedy Altuve leaving the winning run on third with one out. Judge knew by missing the cut off man that the ultra aggressive Astros would try to score and his ruse would have worked with any competent catcher looking at his watch waiting for Altuve to arrive at the plate. Alas Aaron's teammate let him down.BowSowy said:Haha, that article is ridiculous. Altuve was sent home because Judge misplayed that one and threw it into the guy defending 2nd, not the cut-off guy.

It's not the right call. The exception to the rule is if catching the ball carries you into the blocking path. And that ball was right on the money there.Philip J Fry said:awall11 said:

It's the right call using a stupid rule that should die this post season.

He stuck his leg out to block the plate before the ball was there...right call of a bad rule
It is really just the bias of the writers and announcers showing through. They all live up there, and most of them favor one or more of the east coast teams, so when they talk or write about an east coast team, they are naturally less inclined to find fault with them.Philip J Fry said:
What is the point of the bias in sports writing? It's not like it changes the result of the game at all.

If you have the ball, you are allowed to block the plate, no? It's only if you don't have the ball that you can't, I thought.
