Cora is the front runner for multiple managerial jobs.

Whether it's Boston or New York, or Detroit he'll be getting a job somewhere.

One of those is not like the other 2

Yankee pitchers are doing a good job of jamming our guys in and then going soft away.

They are seriously pounding the inside half sawing a bunch of guys off then throwing off speed away and getting soft contact. Tons of broken bats and pop ups in this series.

They just need to get the barrel out and get to those inside pitches and lay off that away stuff. For God sake's I'm having flashbacks of Biggio whiffing on outside sliders and Bagwell popping out while swinging out his ass.
They're also doing a good job of pumping across fastballs for strikes on guys that tend to take early in the count, and getting our aggressive hitters to chase stuff out of the zone.

I think George is the catalyst. If he can get it going, the rest will follow. It's gonna happen tomorrow night!

For a potential game 7 the originator of the Woooo that Astros fans have adopted when @RealJoshReddick is at the plate, @RicFlairNatrBoy is scheduled to call Play Ball


There must be a Game 7

Maybe a dumb question:

I have AT&T Uverse. When I say I only watch Aggie baseball and Astros baseball, I mean really, that's all I watch. I was looking at Hulu Live TV which for $40/month is super cheap and almost a third of what I pay for cable, and it has the SEC Network attached to it. Is there any way to get AT&T SportsNet Southwest added. If so, there would be zero reason to pay for cable.

I'm in the same boat. As soon as the Astros are done I'll likely cancel cable with Comcast and just keep the internet. Save about $50 a month, and go watch the aggies somewhere

I'm also in that same boat. Sports are expensive since Aggie sports and Astros are really all I care about right now. I pretty much watch nothing else.

We talked about this on the Rockets thread the other day and the short answer is no. They are working on a streaming app but it would still require a cable login.

When game 7 rolls around on Saturday, do y'all think it will be sold out? There sure are a lot of seats on StubHub available

Sold out? Yes.

Every ticket sold on StubHub? No.

Speaking of which, I have 2 extras in the club level for tomorrow. They're on StubHub for my break-even price right now, but if anyone here wants them, it would be about $20 cheaper. They cost me $250 each.

These series numbers explain it all and just show that baseball is a roll of the dice in short series:

Reddick 0 for 17
Springer 2 for 18
Bregman 2 for 17
Marwin 2 for 15
Beltran 1 for 12
McCann 0 for 10

And not like Altuve or Correa are having anything better than an average series.
worst team batting average in a playoff series in the history of the franchise, from arguably the best line-up ever fielded by this franchise.
After enduring the craptastic 97, 98, 99, and 01 series, that is downright depressing.
wow, I didn't realize it was that bad. Shocking indeed

Reddit streams are pretty dang reliable. I'd try those out and if you're satisfied having to do that maybe make the switch.

I don't remember George ever having a short-stroke. It's always been long (and Gomez-like).
I just wish they'd all shorten up & go to the opposite field more.

For a lot of this year he shortened his stroke and his average went way up. I think the stress is surfacing old bad habits (with Altuve and Correa too). I think they surprise people and break out tomorrow. That's likely the only way we're winning this series anyway.

They've got to break out if this extended funk. Go out, have some fun. In which case, we too will have some fun.

It looks as if the cubbies will be non-repeaters.

Please for the love of Emmanuel swing at first pitch fastballs right down the middle of the plate. Please, I beg thee.

The sad part is, if I could get the MLB Network Astros game, I would purchase the full season package with HULU and still save money.

My bill with directv package that includes root sports and sec network to watch aggie baseball and the Astros is only $70 a month. That drops down to $50 the other couple months it isn't baseball season. Just food for thought

Remember when Reddick choked up, shortened his swing, and drove in the go ahead run against Kimbrel? Most of the time, I'd rather them take their cuts, even with two strikes, but there are times, like with runners in scoring position, that I'd like to see a similar approach.
