GD the White Sox somehow turned into a very hateable team.

Before last night I didn't have any particular hatred for them other than they're the other team and I want to beat them.

Now they've all of a sudden turned into a bunch of punk *****es that need to taught a lesson.
It's more fun that way.

I am going to go ahead and call my shot now. Correa is going to have a very big game 4.
Seems to work that when the trash talk starts, Correa shows out. White Sox might have just opened something they weren't ready for. They haven't really experienced playoff Correa yet.
Correa has been playing very well.

Right now Josey, Yuli, Machete, and our bench (PH) are a combined 3-36 with 1 double and 2 RBI. That's the issue offensively.

TED, Alvarez, Correa, Bregman, Chas, & Jake are all mashing.
I just meant that the big moment - the walk off type. I know the double in Game 2 was huge. I'm just thinking that Joe Kelly moment in LA this year. That's what I'm talking about.

If we win this series, especially at their place tomorrow, I anticipate some good trash talk from Maldy and some of the other guys.
I sure as **** hope not. I hope they don't say **** and just whip their ass. That will get the point across.
If we win the series was the qualifier. They did it after that Oakland series last year, and I was good with it after all the crap Oakland talked during the year and before the series. I'll be good with it afterward if they win the series.

This crap about "establishing a lane" is such monumental BS. The basepaths exist for a reason and Grandal was 100% outside the basepath to purposely obstruct a play.

HOLY SHlT

It's blatantly obvious from this angle that A) he wasn't running to the base and B) he put his elbow/shoulder out on purpose.

Did you know the White Sox struck out 13 times last night? I didn't know it...and that's b/c the broadcast spent every waking second talking about all the Astros strike outs. Which was only 3 more than the White Sox.

So todays game was Postponed? what was the final reason to postpone it? If its scheduling then why would they just now change the schedule? just curious, I hope this doesnt give them any advantage by doing this?
Rain in the forecast starting about an hour before game time all the way through midnight. MLB made the decision, not the WS

I think it's the thunderstorm more than just rain that is causing them to postpone it, right?

Okay thought about it some more and you can't take advancing for granted. Start LMJ tomorrow.

Jake Kaplan has an article on the Athletic talking about last night's bullpen usage. He says Dusty went to Yimi because he gets ready the quickest, is good with inherited runners, and they wanted Leury to bat LH. Said Javier takes much longer to get ready. Those are Dusty's arguments.

Kaplan provides that Yimi has a 61.6% left-on-base rate this year, but was only up in the pen "moments" before Dusty called on him, implying he wasn't warm. Then Kaplan argues Maton would have been the best option b/c his curveball is hard on lefties. I know everyone would have probably hated Maton or Raley in that spot even more than Yimi.

In my eyes, the problem wasn't really bringing Yimi in. The problem was bringing him in with the count already 2-0. He basically was backed into throwing a fastball.

Although, given everything, I think Maldy should have called a breaking ball on that first pitch instead of a fastball up and in. Garcia might have been aggressive give the situation if the breaking ball was close enough to the zone.

Honestly for me it's not about who came in but when.

No reliever should ever get put into a high leverage spot mid AB. Much less down in the count 2-0 in a playoff game on the road in that environment.

I'd be worried if it was Mariano Rivera.

So for me whoever it was going to be was not put in a situation to succeed.

That slapdeek of a reporter in the very beginning called it Breggy balm salsa and then he called Alex Alec Bregman.

What a butchering of that report!!

What's not being said about Grandal is he's left handed. His lane is a direct line from his box to 1B. He wasn't running to his own bag. He was out of his base path. It's idiotic to say he gets to make his own. Because some genius is going to bunt down 3B line and start moving to 3B to block a throw. Now they get to say "it's my path". They literally made **** up last night. All because they didn't want to be the bad umpires and call him out for "being smart".

Let's get real here. The game was really postponed because the banks are closed today, and the White Sox check to the umpire won't clear until tomorrow.

Starting a pitcher in an elimination game because "he's earned it". What a dinosaur.

What he supposed to say?

The Astros are Lynn's daddy and I made a huge mistake starting him in game 1. Now, my only real option is a gimpy Rodon because I blew through my pitching yesterday.

Finally a good pitching decision by Dusty.

Lance has finally gotten over the home-road issues this season and has pitched well historically @ CHW. Time to step on the necks of these punk a$$ b1t<hes.

Not too worried about that. When Lance is on it doesn't matter if you prepare for it.

Lance tomorrow

Valdez/Urquidy combo on Wednesday if needed

Hopefully we won't need to touch our bullpen very much at all

How stupid for the Chicago White Sox, perpetrators of the worst scandal in the history of sport, to be bringing up the subject at all.

If they come back to Houston, I suggest Astro fans black out Minute Maid in honor of the Black Sox scandal which rocked baseball.
