Didn't they say on the broadcast that he had 6 consecutive shutout appearances prior to today? I get he isn't necessarily dominant, but he's still been good.
Yankees have played 24 games on the road. We already have 21 wins on the road. And we have more wins on the road than games played at home. Wow.
Geoff Blum (@blummer27) on @ATTSportsNetSW: “We had no idea the #Astros were gonna have to take on (home plate umpire) Vic Carapazza in the ninth. So it’s a good thing they added on those runs.”

😱 Notice something missing? The Astros are wondering what happened after the 2017 World Series championship banner disappeared from the Plaza outside of Minute Maid Park... #khou11 #LevelUp

This is why they never should have put these things outside the stadium, some dumbass was gonna do that sooner or later
Ryan Pressly: “I guess we’re not allowed to pitch inside in the big leagues anymore … I’m human. I will miss inside. To warn me after something like that and to throw me out after questioning it, you have to be better than that.”

Get em Press
Just saw the Press ejection replay. Wow that's awful.

Longer quote
Angels have lost 11 straight, and they now have a losing record. Next 3 opponents: Red Sox, Mets, Dodgers.

As bad as things are for the angels, it's about to get a lot worse

Check eBay. It'll be there eventually
Vic Carapazza Had to be betting on the game.
Man has no business in the MLB. Just horrible.

Nice that they helps us out with a 9.5 game lead before our own little tough stretch of games!
We are on pace for 105 wins. Not too shabby.
Phil Maton: “We can’t have our guys getting plunked like that. It’s over now. It is what it is. Ultimately, we need to show our guys we have their back and I think Pressly did that. It’s something I’m proud of.”- https://t.co/CWHHEN4uTH

Good write-up here
How much of this teams current success is because they are really good and how much is because the competition isn't very good?

Last year we sucked against bad teams so I'm hoping we continue to beat up on them
memo to all sportswriters: please get Trout and Ohtani off your MVP ballots

"I'll give it to you short and sweet: He missed twice throwing at Michael Taylor," crew chief Jerry Meals said. "After the second one, we got together because that's the way MLB wants us to handle it and we decided to issue warnings. After the warnings were issued, Pressly argued the warnings, and he was ejected."
And that's Bs. We were warned before they met. Now to be honest, the fact we could even get "payback" prior to the warning was a bit of a gift IMO.
MLB will now allow the Astros to start playing home games again.Mathguy64 said:

I think this is rock bottom for the season with regard to the road vs. home spread.
currently 34 road games...20 home games...+14 differential
Since when can you not pitch inside?
Such BS

Both. Currently there are 5 teams in the AL above .500 and one more right at .500. The AL central and West look like crap. So does the NL East.
Took a quick look. Astros have played 34 road games. The most in the majors. Next closest is 32, Milwaukee and Seattle.

7 teams above .500 in the NL. So 13 good teams and 17 meh teams. The AL East and NL West look to be the only real competitive divisions.

By my count, the Astros are 7-6 against teams at or over 0.500 (blue Jays, red Sox, and twins)
9 games straight with Yankees and Mets at the end of this month. 6 in New York. Should be interesting. Overall the schedule seems pretty favorable the rest of the way.
So roughly 87-75 record over 162 vs teams over .500? I'd take that all day because usually you are beating up on the bad teams along the wayEastCoastAgNc said:Jet Black said:Mathguy64 said:Jet Black said:

I mean, it was pretty nice, but he still one hopped it. Talk to me when he makes throw without the bounce.
Absolutely is BS, but they kept saying "should've warned after they hit us", and while I get that, at least we got to back him up a couple times before warnings.
I'll be curious what Presssly said (if Jomboy can tell). He didn't get tossed for the pitch, he got tossed for what he said.
There's a world where the ejection was warranted…. and there's a world where it was absolutely ridiculous. Not sure what my opinion is until we see that part.

have to say...it's really odd to see a team "retaliate" with 2 outs in the 9th...when they have the lead.
especially when the team will play the same opponent in several weeks -- that's when payback tends to happen
