Gerrit Cole

I honestly think they would draw good crowds if they played in the Marlins stadium.

i don’t hate the Rays, I just don’t like their stadium.

They need to build in the Tampa area. People rightfully dump on the Trop and the attendance issues but I'm a drop in the bucket and the damn thing is 50 minutes away from me and I live in a county even smaller than Hillsbourgh (Pasco) and we half half a million people.... the Lightning have sold out 200+ consecutive games. If you got the Rays here you'd draw about 21,000 on a Tuesday night no problem.

That's what I'm guessing. He or Morton can probably back up Glasnow if he gets in trouble early. It'll be interesting to see what the Astros do. I wonder if they will probably throw Cole on short rest -probably not the best idea considering tonight's result. Either way I'm up for anything in game 5. If we win I won't be the least bit surprised. If we lose then I won't be the least bit surprised.

Cole will be on regular rest. He pitched Saturday.

Cole.

Obviously no way he is not worse than game 2. I would still be surprised if Tampa pulls this off. This sort of feels like Carolina Washington game 7 last year. A miracle was needed and it happened but I don't know if I see it here.

The idea of that circus tent deciding an ALCS game infuriates me.

I love you buddy

No surprise the home teams have won all the games, but TB will obviously have to buck that trend to punch their tickets to New York.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yankees don't really benefit a ton if Houston advances as all it really does is change the order of the rotation for games 1-2-3 to Grienke-Verlander-Cole from the preferred Cole-Verlander-Grienke but Cole could go in a decisive game 7 if it got there. Yankees would destroy Tampa

Yankees absolutely prefer Grienke in game 1 or Verlander on four days rest over Cole in game 1.

Yeah you're right. I'm an idiot and a little drunk

I cannot imagine what you would have to say if the Trop hosts a WS game

 

[c9777666]

FOX TV execs have to be nervous now.

 

[SSF]

Yea, i wonder what happens IF the Trop ever hosts a WS game

And its high and it's far and it hits the catwalk!!!! Is that fair or foul? Is it a home run or is it in play??? The umps are signaling it's a home run, the rays have won the world series!!!!

 

[Terry Yake]

did the 08 WS never happen?

 

[Master P]

did the 08 WS never happen?

shhhhhh

 

[SSF]

Apparently not, why I capitalized the if. Then again, I should have looked at the author I suppose

Wut?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Would like to see TB pull off the comeback.

His previous post was a tongue-in-cheek response to ChrisK.

Yeah, I got it now and I approve of his message

 

[Halladay]

Astros have woken up it appears.

 

[BMOK33]

Glasnow has nothing. All his pitches are up. The three hits were on 0-1 pitches. If you’re giving up hits ahead in the count you’re in trouble

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

3-0 already.

 

[BMOK33]

I wouldn’t have let him face another hitter. This has the feeling of he will get Alvarez then allow a two run homer

 

[Halladay]

This one is looking over unless Cole implodes.
