You guys are pissing the baseball gods off.

Astros still need to win one.

Hell no.

To me, that screams an obsession with the Dodgers that overshadows the desire for a championship. Give me home field advantage. I just want a trophy.


I am obsessed with making whiny little biatches cry, so yeah you can think of it how you want.

What others think is not something I ever have or will ever give a **** about.

If we get by the Sox, I want the Dodgers even it were 7 games in LA.

The possibility of watching Joe Kelly's gay ass as well as the rest of the Dodgers and their fans crying far outweighs playing anyone else or losing.
Nah, I'd rather the Dodgers and their extremely high payroll sitting at home watching.

I'd enjoy some Joe Kelly tears. Caused by a Correa blast to the face.

I understand, will their be a video feed of them sitting at home crying? I'm in for that too.

Good thing for us that all of the Red Sox fans are having the same conversations so its a wash

Quote:

"Guinea pig?"

The adjective he's looking for here is "scapegoat."
"adjective?"

The word you're looking for here is "metaphor."
you know, I struggled with that designation.

Metaphor is a description which is not literally applicable while an adjective names an attribute and the Astros were scapegoated in the whole thing which is both a noun and a verb. I decided that the word described what happened, literally, to them so I went with it.

Is today the day Dusty finally starts Castro? He caught Garcia plenty of times during the season and there's a righty on the mound against the Sox.

It makes sense.

I seem to recall Castro having some very recent success off Eovaldi too.

The original quote was a metaphor, then by saying he meant scapegoat they changed it to a noun, neither of which was an adjective, and neither of which used it as a verb.

So we're way through the looking glass on the grammar front here.

Either way, when Luis Garcia sits down the first 15 in a row tonight I'm going to be yelling a lot of different parts of speech.

Back to the task at hand - we need LuACE tonight. Good video and breakdown here.

Y'all need to shut the hell up about playing someone in the next series when this one isn't over. Focus on the prize in front of you and that's beating Boston.

Focus.

His stats show he is at his best "late and close."

I do not expect him to get a start at all. I expect them to continue prioritizing Maldy's defense and bring Castro the Astro in during important spots.

But I guess we will see!

Something odd I noticed with Garcia is that his cutter and slider are his best pitch. His 4seamer is probably his worst when it comes to getting hard contact. As the season went along, Garcia threw more cutters and fewer 4 seamers yet the results were still declining. Then he tried to go back to a similar pitch mix in Sept as he was earlier in the season and the results got even worse.

Nothing else I see stands out. Velo has been consistent. Spin actually improved after the sticky stuff ban. Similar splits for balls in the zone, on the edge, and out of the zone. He's just not missing bats like before.

I wonder if the book is out on him or maybe he's tipping pitches too.

This is the 40th time I've been on this thread today since telling myself at 7 a.m. that i wouldn't come on here until the game started so I could finish my work and not have to say up all night like after Game 5.

the straw that broke the camel's back was beating the Yankees in 2019

that was a step too far

I think it's mostly that he had pitched way too many innings. He's so far beyond his career IP numbers it's unreal. He needed a 3 week break for some made up illness but with Greinke and Odo breaking down they couldn't give him one.

The Dodgers announced Joe Kelly is out for the rest of the playoffs.

What a shame. A competitor like Joe not being able to go. It must be a really bad injury. A torn labia or bruised ego. Maybe an anal fissure.

I'm listening to the latest Section 10 podcast (Red Sox Barstool podcast). It is very complimentary to the Astros and surprisingly pretty good commentary on the last 2 games.

It's all about getting 27 outs and having more runs than the Red Sox at the end of tonight's game.

All that matters. No idea about next round other than the Astros are one win away from their fourth World Series, which is just crazy and insane for a kid from the 80s.
