Well now. That ball was hit a long ass way in a stadium that does not let balls carry.

The incessant and obnoxious music they constantly blast at Dodger Stadium would be hard to put up with for a 7 game series.

It's terrible.

I think the Dodgers could realistically send us to Game 7 assuming we take care of business in the ALCS. We just need to take Game 1 against Sammy Kershaw.

Edit: Clayton Kershaw, but going to let it play since I accidentally wrote a singer's name.

I ordered her a slow gin fizz
And when the chicken fried steaks arrived

Looking like a lot of jinxes and confidence in here.... Glad the team will stay sharp!

But really, both of the teams on the other side are good teams and will be a dog fight if we make it to the WS. As good as the Dodgers are, there's something to be said for the Cubs having been there before and experience winning the WS under pressure.

I think I'd rather play the Cubs, but not by a lot.

The only reason to want to play the Cubs is to get home field, which, of course we want.

I still can't stop watching this.

- Original roar when he hits it
- Louder roar when it drops for a hit
- Gets really quiet for the play at the plate
- The loudest roar I've ever heard when he's safe

There is actually another roar when the crowd realizes that Altuve is gunning for home. I've been watching fan youtube videos all evening. This is one of my favorites. Skip to 1:00 if you just want the hit.



The commentary is awesome!

That was awesome man! Post some more of your favorites if you get a chance, please.

That's a great video to show just how bad Judge's throw was.

Can we all agree that it was an absolutely terrible decision to send altuve? Obviously it worked, but 95% of the time, he's out. If there were 2 outs, I'm all for it. Definitely not with 1 though


I'm okay with it. A lot of things have to go perfectly for a guy to get thrown out at home. Couple that with it being off Chapman who nobody ever scores against, as well as the fact that there would have still been a RISP if Altuve were out.... I'd do it again. Play aggressive.

I'm with Nuke. It's also clearly been the Astros philosophy for a long time. There's got to be some numbers behind it if their doing (authority fallacy, I know)

he knew what was coming

and back to the Cubs-Dodgers game 2...managers are just losing their minds bringing in starters in relief. Trust your bullpen...it's only game 2 of the series

The Dodgers are scary to me. I feel like they are the kind of team people will look back on and say how they forgot how good they were because they went through such a rough patch near the end of the season.

Ready for this. Let's get those bats going. Move Bregman up in the order and get Gattis some at bats!

Uncle Chuckles gonna go to work tonight.

I like this matchup. I'm thinking we get 5 good innings out of Charlie, hand it over to the BP with a lead, and go up 3-0 on these sorry ass Yankees.

This coaching staff has done a great job in developing a game plan for going against these Yankees. With what we've done to them throughout this whole year, it's hard to remember that they're the 2nd best offense in the league.

Dodgers would be favored

the Astros bats would need to wake up or it would be over in 6

Whole buncha buttholes in here tempting the vengeful baseball gods to smite the team with all the way too early assumptions of a sweep.

I need to enjoy getting to watch the complete game on TV tonight. Tomorrow and Wednesday I will be juggling weekly activities while listening on the radio. At least I'll get a homer announcer on the radio.

I disagree. Are you Coach Fran playing to not lose? It is the bottom of the 9th with 1 out. The 3rd base coach saw that it was a bad throw and thought Altuve had the speed to make it. If Judge would have thrown the ball differently, then he would have held up at 3rd.

Good call by the coaches to send him home.

Just imagine how 1/6 would've played out if DC hadn't had such strict gun laws.

Two people starred his post as of the time of this signature. Those 3 people are allowed to vote in the US.

Not to mention that the offense was absolutely sleepy, Verlander probably wasn't coming out for the 10th, and we were right where we wanted to be in our lineup if we were going to put some runs on the board.

he was being waved home before Judge even got the ball.

it was an aggressive play that caught the Yankees off guard.

far far from a terrible decision.

I like the idea of pressuring their defense and making them make plays. Not a bad send, IMO.
