I'm sure MLB is salivating over a Brewers Mariners WS.


Prepare yourself for some quality umpiring in the NLCS

and mute unless you actually want to hear "10,000 interesting facts about Shohei"

How's Janek doing? Would be nice to have a position player stick out (positively)

I assume that we have others there as well on the pos. player side.

He's hitting. 455. The teams have only played 4 games because of the flooding which hopefully has passed. I'm thinking of going to their game Wednesday afternoon.

From about to be a grand slam to a double play and inning over.

So what was the final call?

Because if he caught it how is it a force play at home...Right?

Went off the back wall before he caught and secured it = live ball

He didn't catch it…bounced off his glove, then off the wall, and then back in his glove. Then nobody knew wtf to do on the bases.

The Dodgers celebration thing after getting a hit may be the gayest thing I've ever seen in sports.

Is this the best thread for post season MLB live game discussion?

Still can't get over how LAD fleeced the entire MLB by signing Ohtani $2M a year for 10 and deferring $680M. Let them sign Snell and two other top Japanese pitchers. What an absolute joke, but all the owners are making money so I guess no one cares or can't get the votes for change. Screw the freaking dodgers.

Bases loaded and can't capitalize. They sure jumped on them once Snell was out just couldn't get clutch hit.

To do that and then swing and miss on ball 3 is pretty bad.

It definitely is not the best thread for Astros offseason as the title suggests.

Astros regulars have been posting here for sure. I didn't see another thread active so that's certainly how I've used it. Real baseball will be over in a few days and it'll be mostly offseason talk then...

Y'all do realize you all sound like Yankee fans who swore we were wearing buzzers?

Just wanted to point that out while we're talking hypocrisy.


Thank you.

That's all well and good but it doesn't answer my simple question.

If Yordan hit 61 after never hitting more than 37, would you think he was on steroids?

To add, I wonder how the roid-promoters feel about this career.



Does anyone think this guy was on steroids?

Happy Gary Sanchez day, everybody!

2017 - Jose Altuve slides across with the game-winner as Carlos Correa doubles against Aroldis Chapman for the 2-1 triumph over New York that puts Houston ahead, 2-0, in the A.L.C.S. Justin Verlander tosses a complete-game five-hitter with 13 strikeouts. Correa had also homered in the fifth for the Astros' only other run.


You know in some ways, this is the quintessential play of the last decade. Dummy Judge has no clue that Altuve is going to try and score and just lobs it into second base. Correa subtly gets in the way of the throw home by Gregorious. Sanchez shows that he's about as good a catcher as a dead cow, and Brett Boone comes out to complain about Correa. If that's not the 2010s Yankees in a nutshell, I don't know what is.

Altuve's speed here might be what I miss the most.

Man he was out by a mile if Sanchez could catch.

And those ABs were long as hell.
