Offense is going to have to dig deep and find something special tonight. Rays heavy favorites in Vegas.


-135 is a "heavy favorite"?


Well **** ESPN lied to me. They showed -380 this morning. Odds Shark confirms -135 now. Pretty much a pick em!

To be fair, he might have just been celebrating making contact in the playoffs. He normally only gets to walk straight back to the dugout.

I don't think Ford could tell watching the monitor.
Really good point. I had forgotten about them watching the monitor. They've done such a good job of calling it I felt like they were there. Thanks.

One of the guys on MLB said watching the highlights "Maldonado is sneaky fast around the base paths"

And yes huge play and balls from 3rd base coach - the camera angle showed the ball bounce towards the catcher way before Maldy even came into the frame. Thought he was gone for sure. Great belly flop slide too!
Haha that was my thought too. They panned to home plate and Maldy wasn't even in the frame yet. Was like "crap" until I realized how weak the throw was.

Astros are +360 to be ALCS champs. Rays -500. Tempting.

Bauer at Stroms house hoping he tossed away some notes that would help him

You'd be in good shape if you had bet Astros to win last 2 games each rather than whole ALCS. Get it to a game 7 and I see the Astros all of the sudden becoming the favorite.

Asked my Yankees fan friend if he thought Correa's historical comp was Jeter (greatest playoff SS of all time) or Babe Ruth (called his shot). He didn't like those comps very much. I agreed and said he more of an ideal combination of both.

They've got the role of Spiccoli waiting for him in the Fast Times remake.

Also noticing a lot of Astro love from the media this morning for first time all season - 3 reasons -
1) team has always been fun to watch, especially in 2017-2019 and it's ok to cheer for them again in 2020
2) no matter what they did or didn't do - they are good ball players. Very, very good. Springer, Altuve, Bregs and Correa are elite.
3) for all the Dusty criticism- a lot of it rightly so - everyone in baseball loves him and is cheering for him.
I'm eating alot of crow on Dusty.....I was a big critic during the season....the game plan makes sense now and he was 400 steps ahead of everyone in preparing for the post season.
I live in waco....therefore, I am ready to move elsewhere.

I really wanted a rematch with the Dodgers, but at this point I just want to see the Braves destroy them tonight and send them home with their tails tucked.

Update from last night: Hugh Jackman was kind enough to say hello to my wife when she "happened to get up" during the interview and also said hello to Puppy Carlos Correa who was making a lot of noise.

Bellinger isn't on my list of favorite players by any means, but he did crush that ball--barreled, 103 off the bat, 26 degree LA, 410 ft. It had an xBA of .890. Just hit it to the exact deepest part of the park.

Sounds like they build a stadium in Arlington that plays huge.

And they also built a wind tunnel when the roof is open to test aerodynamics in the off-season.

It was 9:00 and the players hair and jerseys were blowing like a fan on high.

A cold front was moving in. Two things with that.

1. They never plan to use the stadium in October so it doesn't matter.

2. They can shut the roof to prevent that.

The stupidity of MLB to force the roof open for Covid is laughable but understandable with Manfred in charge.

Bet $100 on Astros today straight up wins $115
Bet $215 if they won (assume game 7 is +100) to win $215
Total winnings $330

Bet $100 today on Astros ALCS winners to win $360

The +360 is better

If you're talking about two games ago, I'm sure the Astros were +1100 or something like that for ALCS.

You don't give coffee to a puppy.

That's a lot of words for "he got out"

Sorry for going full Star Wars cheese ball, but this is how I'm feeling today after the last two days. Would make more sense if we were playing the Yankees (evil Empire and such) but you get the point.

I took 14 hours of Spanish at A&M between 1993-1995, this is what I heard:

"The Rays of Tampa want to take a book to the library. Should they take a train or an autobus? Baseball is a sport in North America, Mexico, and Cuba as well. The gringo Nick Anderson is very tall and has very large shoes. He is delivering the pitch. Oh MY! Carlos Correa has taken this pitch and turned it around in a most glorious and convincing fashion! Kevin Kiermaier cannot ascend to a height of correctness to deny this baseball's visa! It has left San Diego and was last seen heading south to Tijuana! Have a tequila on me, Senor Baseball!"
