Garcia is just as capable of doing what Framber did yesterday. Just needs to be able to handle the moment.

Maybe Framber can teach him to breathe through his eyelids.

I would say hes perfectly capable of doing that through 5IP/75 pitches/2 times through the lineup. Once the first of those things expire, he turns from a crystal carriage back to a pumpkin

Did we bring back the light system Framber used last night? Obviously that's why he was so dominant.

Quick question on buying World Series tickets. If I buy them via another Ag on the ticket exchange forum and the Astros don't advance, how would I recover my costs?

Great question. You'd have to get it from them.

Yeah, that makes sense. You'd have to account for their honesty and transfer the tickets back to them so they could recover from the Astros. With a good Ag, I could see that working, but it sounds pretty complicated and risky. Let's hope this clears up on Friday. I am trying to get a flight booked to go to game 1, but like everyone else I'm in limbo waiting to see how all this unfolds.

Don't.

That's a lot of risk. Right now we don't even know if we're going to make it and even if we do, we don't know which games we're getting at home until the NLCS finishes.

Yes, especially remembering the Braves forgot to finish off the Dodgers when they were up 3 games to 1 in last years NLCS.

gonna be accusations of cheating forever. Thanks Manfred! Thanks Fiers, your rat faced b-tch!


I guess I'm confused or an idiot. I used to own a bar in Midtown. I've never seen a bar with one light.

Has this bar with one light been open all year?
Surely there's a video with this light previously from the bar.

So, we have some talking about the bar in center and Cora talking about reflective tape on the wall that was removed.

So he pointed out the tape after one ump noticed the light.

Sounds legit.

If the Red Sox were doing something it didn't work….. at all.

Garcia is capable of pitching well but not sure I'd expect 8 innings of 3 hit baseball from him or anyone else for that matter. Framber was en fuego yesterday. Framber and McCullars were clearly the 2 best starters imo…. This year.

It definitely doesn't look like a news stations camera light. Or at least would've been an odd shape. Also, the motion of it...

Buthurt alert! LOL..........

Wait so on the 10th pitch of the game when zero Astros have been on base, we knew their signs? Yordon went yard off a 4 seam fastball that was way outside.

Lets recap the pitches up until that point
Tuve
P1: sinker - flyout

Brantley
P2: 4S FB - S
3: slider - B way inside
4: slider - F mid plate
5: 4S FB - B
6: 4S FB - SS out

Bregman
P7: sinker - SS
P8: 4S FB - B
P9: 4S FB - ground out

Yordon
P10: FB outside - HR

2 of the 10 pitches were actually in the heart of the zone. Everything else was outside or teasing the edge of the zone.

I am not quite sure how you can cheat on a ball outside the plate for a HR. If we were cheating why didn't we score more in the early innings? We didn't score again until the 6th

Eh, I'm not on twitter, I didn't realize that Carrabis's bio line was sarcastic. Either way, even as a Sox homer, screaming "cheating" of any kind is really just sour grapes....

Twitter (and maybe social media in general) will be the downfall of civilization. Sarcasm doesn't convey well, and "burns", strawman arguments, and specious reasoning gets more likes than thought out, intelligent discourse.

I'll go back to yelling at clouds now.....

Well all I know is Cora is pointing out a reflective tape that is later removed. Yet the umps were talking about a light coming on and moving during bottom of 5th, not before or after. Same time they just got first hit.

Like I said, seems legit.

Lot of questions for me on this light in CF

If it's a light in a bar...

Why does it move? Lights in bars hang from the ceiling or mount on the wall or are on a table.

Why aren't there more lights? If one light was visible wouldn't all the lights be visible? Does this bar have just one light in the entire place?

Why does this light not appear normally on the reg if it's from a bar that's been back for years?

Is it something illegal? Who knows but I can say with a high degree of certainty that it's not a light from a bar.

It's supposedly a light on a news crew camera doing interviews around the bar.

Why are we still posting someone's Twitter "explanation" a tv screw and no other lights in the bar again, while Cora jumps up only have the fact(Umps concerns) to point out some reflective tape?


I don't know about you guys, but I think it's completely normal for one light to shine through a bar, Cora coming out and pointing at some tape 20ft away on the fence, after umps noticing the light, Cora seeing Fox feed and getting their first hit.

This type of **** happens everyday

speaking of Chris Sale...one of the most over-rated / over-hyped pitchers of the past decade.

his stats in 10 postseason appearances:

10 games
7 starts

36 innings pitched

24 earned runs...(14 vs. the Astros)
36 hits
13 walks

6.35 ERA
1.44 WHIP

I mean with stellar stats like that it would almost make me want to scream into my glove and puff my chest out while coming out of a game my team eventually would lose 9-1

That bar looks way lower than the the light, no? Bar looks like it's basically level with the field

So where is Cora moving his cell guy at MM?

And if there's no "reflective" tape on minute maid wall, what does he say about light in order to get the person to leave quickly once umpire noticing the light?

No one finds it odd that Cora points out some reflective tape to umps and to Dusty after umps see light moving and everyone on ****ter is talking about a bar and a tv crew when it looks like a cell phone either moving to the right or the left. And why the **** is reflective tape on the wall?

Right before Devers hit, 3rd base coach is glancing back at center for 10-15 seconds. Framber hits JD, and then Dusty comes out to "calm him" and most likely change signs up. Then double play.

The "camera crew light", the cell moving cell phone light and the reflective tape inning.

And you got one ****ing hit out of it.

Cora gonna Cora
