With Siri, you are just waiting for something spectacular to happen. Either spectacularly good, spectaculary entertaining, or spectaculary bad.....you just never know what you're going to get.

That being said, I'd go with Siri in CF tonight....I love the energy he brings.
Well, he'll be the only one on the field if he goes tonight!

Chas doesn't give me a minor stroke every time a ball his hit to CF, though....

I'm serious, if we can get him for low $, I would sign him again next year.

Use him as a pinch hitter and get 10-15 starts out of him, and long relief.

He would be the Target version of Ohtani.

It really sucks that we didn't win game 4. I know he wouldn't have qualified, but Greinke deserved that one.

Greinke has now pitched 2 great games in the WS for us and we blew both of them.

also had two huge hits for us that we did nothing with.

we owe that man a ring.

The sticky stuff cheating accusations are dumb.

Umps are checking constantly so either no one is using it or the umps don't give a shlt and everyone is using it again.

So either way it's a moot point

What your saying is Cole just needed to get to the playoffs to have his binkie back?

The way mlb has handled this crap just opens the door for accusations everywhere. Damn, he's hitting really well, must be stealing signs. That pitcher is really good all of a sudden, must be using pine tar. Hear that whistle in the background?

But then again, maybe that's just the nature of baseball as this isn't a new phenomenon. I mean people still say it about players when they're crushing….must be on 'roids.

Well boo. Thank you for the heads up. Uber from Ninfas I guess. It'll be cheaper than $50 parking.....I think

Depending on what time you head downtown and how far you are willing to walk, I parked on the street around the law school at 5pm for a couple bucks and walked it.

Yw, you may call too because they didn't really seem super confident.

Check out the park whiz app.

Choose 4p to 2a, do not choose an event.

I got parking 3 blocks away for $29 reserved the morning of.

Unless you just want to take the shuttle back to Ninfa's after.

Good thread here

We won with Yordan slumping but man it would be great to see him get off early in game 6

my go to lot is on the corner of Rusk/Caroline. During the season its a $10 lot

It's great because when you exit on Caroline you are headed sw away for MM and can easily access 59/45/or 10 from there.
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.

It'd be nice if anyone would just mash. Remember back in 2017 when we hit 15 HRs in the Series. We've had 2 this go round.

Game 6 best cast scenario start is a 0 on the board for the top of the 1st and then a 5 run bottom of the 1st.

If we can grab an early lead and make it a bit of a hill to climb, the Braves just may tighten up.

Again, all I want to see is Yordan pimp one out to the 2nd deck in right.

That and to see Yuli put one on the tracks.

I am going to play hitting coach today.

I reviewed a little how Max Fried attacked us. He threw more curves, more sliders, and significantly fewer fastballs than usual. I don't know if that was his gameplan or he made the adjustment. Most of the early hits and hard contact were on fastballs. Most of the Ks were on breaking stuff. We only had 1 whiff on a four seamer & sinker (34% of the pitches seen) yet 13 on his slider and curve (61% of the pitches seen).

If you look at what he threw, he wastes a decent # of pitches.


I'd sit fastball first pitch and jump all over it until he shows he can throw the breaking stuff for a strike constantly.

He absolutely loves the lower left edge. Lefties should look to go oppo. Both Alvarez and Tucker have shown the ability and willingness to do so this postseason. The heater, slider, and curve are all usually lower away (to lefties) and low and in (to righties). The sinker is the only pitch he consistently gets on the other side of the plate.
