GDT: World Series: Atlanta Braves vs. Houston Astros

[punk_o_holic]

Biggest problem is watching on the east coast. Sports ending at 12:30 AM is just stupid.

I couldn't even imagine if the game goes to extra innings.

As for tonight....
Hopefully Urquidy puts up some 0's early on and the bats scores some runs early to take pressure off Urquidy. I don't want Urquidy being afraid to make a mistake so he ends up walking batters. Also taking a early lead will take the pressure off the batters. They can relax and do there thing rather than trying to over do it because they're behind and trying to score runs

College FB Champ and Superbowl are the worst. Still insisting to put them on weeknights. Games don't end till at least midnight.

Next 2 games are HUGE for the Braves with Morton out. I'm guessing Game 4 will be a Smyly/pen game (worked in the CS) and an unpredictable Kyle Wright will go in Game 5.

Game too long for young people like me, I stopped watching after 3rd inning to watch hockey instead.

The game isn’t too long. Needing an extra hour for WS-time commercials is what drags it on.

Go Barves!

When I saw Valdez fumble the ball on the infield hit by Albies, I thought the Astros where in trouble. He looked particularly nervous.

Sac fly. 1-0 HOU.

In 2020, Siri was released by 3 teams I believe and signed a minor league contract with Houston. Now he has an rbi in the World Series.

Wow, Maldonado got a hit

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Very quickly, it's 4-1 Houston.

 

[punk_o_holic]

Still lots of game left. Need to score more.

Uncle Mike brings back the 2 out magic

 

[Halladay]

Not that it matters now, but I was little surprised Fried didnt start game 1 and Morton game 2. Would want Morton going in both games in Houston potentially.

 

[Halladay]

Cant be making errors against the Astros.

Altuve adds to his post season homerun list.

2 games that were not compelling so far, hopefully we get a close game on Friday.

Big win and now it's best out of 5. Atlanta has done a good job after a loss so hopefully the Astros don't let them bounce back. Big 3 game road trip. I pray for at least 2 wins but won't complain if it's 3. Great job Urquidy and the rest of the pitchers.

My heart won't be able to handle it.

I think both teams will be happy with these first two games. Astros finally won a home game.

Would the weather effect Baker's decision regarding the outfield? Would you start off with Siri or McCormick and have Alavrez or Brantley on the bench. If Astros have a lead stick with it and use Brantley or Alavrez as a pinch hitter? If remains close or fall behind, quickly take out Siri or McCormick and put Alvarez/Brantley in?

What does Braves do. Take out Soler who's hitting (is he not good on defense?)or Pederson(not hitting but better defense?)

Astros didn't want it but Manfred insisted but perhaps opening the roof is the key for an Astros home win.

The roof interferes with their electronical communication of signs

Man. 2 pitches 2 outs 1-0 game no one on and only the fourth inning and they pull the guy. This is a part of the game that’s gotten annoying

Yeah wtf was that? Can anyone explain the reasoning there? That made no sense to me either.. is it something to do with the no-DH thing??
