He would have broken his leg for sure.

Why would they have a game this high profile start at 4PM?
Probably because Bregman made them angry

I hate it too, but it's more logical than making them play the early game in LA due to time zone reasons

I enjoyed Cody Bellinger slamming his bat down two handed. My 7 year old does that when he gets pissed. Milwaukee scares me more than LA.
I actually think he considered breaking it over this leg then got scared and chickened out


He's such a tool. Had an absolutely terrible game last night. 0-4, multiple strikeouts and a terrible play in center that let a run score.

if he doesn't evolve as a hitter his career is going to go downhill fast

How many K's did he have in the world series last year? 17? 19?

However many it was, it was a record number for a single player.

If I recall, he had 17 Ks in 28 ABs.

For those attending the game

Uber is doing a code for $10 off two rides to and from MMP

Lyft is doing a code for 25% off your next two rides (not sure if only to/from MMP)

Both codes are simply NEVERSETTLE

Don't pay $100 for parking

Best parking recs? I have my usual spot but during they day they are for the courthouse only.


Yeah I'm interested in this too for people that attended the ALDS. Were SRO so we're going down really early so distance isn't a huge deal.

Last year in the ALCS and World Series I took the light rail in. It was free and relatively quick and easy.

For comparison, here is how Boston has hit Dallas...



Kinsler will be annoying I think. The other big bats, Benintendi, Betts, Bogaerts, Bradley all have small sample sizes but have gotten a couple hits.

Martinez and Moreland haven't done much...

Bet the over in this one. Lots of runs will be scored on both sides I think.

Only allowing one game at prime time is the problem.

Yes I believe it was reported he would be DH'ing to give his knee a rest.

Altuve DHing doesn't bother me much. With 3 games in a row it doesn't seem like a bad idea.

If it was a big concern he wouldn't be in there at all.

I'm not too worried.

Crazy how many tickets are available for today. I'm looking to lose about 800 on 4 tickets no one wants because I was stupid enough to buy them thinking it would be a night game I could go to.

Does Stubhub set a floor for ticket prices or can you just keep lowering the price until they sell?

I haven't seen a minimum. Every time I lower my prices, it looks like the seats around mine all lower theirs twice as much

Per the push notification on my MLB app


Quote:
The Astros are 10-1 at home over the past two postseasons, and they average 5.55 runs per game. Is that good? No. That's GREAT


So whatever it is that hinders this offense at home in the regular season doesn't really carry over to the postseason.

Anyone else getting downtown early and want to grab a pregame beverage?
