That Schilling dude is fun isn't he.
He's just increasing the amount of schadenfreude I have for LA choking. What a blowhard.
Hearing that MLB is invoking seldom used Rule 303.7(B)(iii) and the series will be decided by feats of strength.

I could see the Yankees insisting this be played at 1am if they have to. If they wait to tomorrow, doesn't that mean Bieber will be ready to go?
It's more like 4 games if that helps your confidence.cc10106 said:
The Astros will have only played 3 games (36 innings) in two weeks once the ALCS starts. That's wild and doesn't help my confidence no matter who the opponent is. Just need the bats to get hot and take some pressure off the starters.
Remember when the Aggies had to do that in a football game vs UH because the Astros and Phillies had a playoff game in the dome earlier that day? And that football game just added a bit more misery to that playoff series.AggieJ2002 said:

The series isn't over until Costanza gets pinned.
Here's an idea, it may sound crazy and all, but hear me out….
don't schedule a freaking day off between division series games 1 and 2?
They weren't going to schedule all AL & NL on same days. Alternative would have started AL on Wednesday, which still woood mean game 5 today.

The time off is my biggest concern too. I think the Stros are better that both the Janks and the Indians, but playing every day is big in baseball and we could come out slow.
Well we already have had practice coming out slow against Seattle so hopefully muscle memory kicks in Wednesday. That being said, would you rather be in New York's or Cleveland's shoes right now? I wouldn't.Kashchei said:Prosperdick said:It's more like 4 games if that helps your confidence.cc10106 said:

Also, with a 7 game series that usually smooths out the rough edges of starting slow.

Agree and disagree. I mean we scored 1 run on Saturday so it's not like our bats were scorching hot. Would rather have a fully rested staff & pen, which the winner of this game wont have, since it's looking to at the very least bleed over into early Tuesday morning.
Guys we've played 2 games in the past 2 days.
Game will be played tomm at 4

Oh I'd much rather be in our position, but I am a serial worrier no matter the situation. Rooting for the Astros is different than say, the Aggies, because I actually have expectations and am (too) emotionally invested.
The Aggies lobotomized me a long time ago.
Is that official?

Yankees and Guardians are rained out. Game 5 will be Tuesday at 4:07 p.m. ET. The ALCS starts Wednesday.

LOL
I would hate for them to play 23 innings tomorrow
Dammit! I was off by an hour.
Aaaaaaaand it's already starting with the excuses, and of all thing, blaming the Astros!
The weather is an Astros fan pic.twitter.com/tZ94Cpv7ap

Maybe they need to play inning #1 under the Manfred Rule...you know...the one where they put a runner on 2nd base & no outs to start the inning.
4 pm tomorrow is idiotic. They should be playing at 1 pm if the weather lets them.
But hey. Who am I to complain?

So each one of these teams has their GM 1 starter flying here first thing in the morning right?
MLB screwed the pooch on this deal. Rain been in the forecast for days. Shoulda moved the start time up to lunchtime or something to have give them more time to get the game in. Not to mention the fans who got to yankee stadium at 5 and sat there with MLB basically already knowing the game wouldn't be played.
Whoever we play Wednesday is gonna be very hungover
