Red Sox/MLB ASTROS WIN THE WORLD SERIES

[McGarnagle]

Astros top of the 5th was the killer

View attachment 82011

They should've won tonight, agreed. Verlander on the mound with a lead into the 6th. They win those more often than not.

Josh Reddick has been horrible, his AB was the turning point tonight. 2nd and 3rd, no out, pitcher on deck, and he can't even put the ball in play. Reddick is a good kid, and had the best season of his career this year, but since the 3rd game of the ALDS he's been completely overmatched.

And the only options to replace him are Beltran, who is probably too old to play the field, and Maybin, who hasn't given them anything but defensive replacement help since joining the roster, and Fisher, a pinch runner. As great as the Astros bats are, OF depth is their weak link offensively, and could be their downfall unless he breaks that slump tomorrow. Marwin Gonzalez is technically a shortstop who's just playing left because the IF is stacked. That team has no outfield beyond Springer if Reddick's going to sleep through the playoffs.

Game 6 condensed



The beauty of Game 7 in World Series history is the home team is not a lock to win.

What the hell did they get from the blue jays for Tavares?

Seems like he could have been ideal in these situations or on the roster.

Yes. Go to Taco Bell between 2 and 6.

Actually don't. Back in 2007 when they first did this (Jacoby stole the base that won America a free taco) I went down to one and it was a zoo. You would have thought they were handing out 100 dollar bills, not 79 cent tacos.

Baseball season is too long. They should just flip a coin tonight. Save a month from the MLB.

I don't actually care one way or the other now who wins tonight, I'll be happy for Rich Hill if the Dodgers win but don't care about the team itself. The fact that the game he pitched ended with a W is enough for me. I'm one of those that still thinks the Astro's have no business being in the American League so I don't want them to win just for the fact that I don't see them as an AL team

Yeah, no.

Since the ALDS when he got 6 hits in 16 AB, he's hitting .106 for the postseason. How he hasn't been dropped in the order at least is beyond me.

If you are smart, you won’t go to Taco Bell, crowded or not...

Unless you want to pay for it roughly 60-120 minutes after ingesting the “food”.

Bruins aren't on tonight, so this may actually be the first baseball game I watch all season. I grew up in SoCal, but was a big Angels fan and cared much more for them than the Dodgers. Though 1988 Game 1 still provided one of the more memorable moments of my freshman year in college. Then the heartbreak that was 2003 solidified me as a Sox fan, though my interest in baseball has waned considerably these past few years. Sounds like I missed a doozy in game 5.

If the Dodgers win tonight, I quit all sports.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Free food from Taco Bell? You get what you pay for.

 

[smithformeragent]

Excellent

 

[JRull86]

Nightmare start for LA.

 

[smithformeragent]

Sounded like he slid on aluminum foil.

Even the umpire getting in on the Gurriel hate with that strike

I eat more fast food than I really should, and I've never had these urban legend after-effects of Taco Bell.

I must live in a cave because I just heard about the Gurriel “gesture” about 90 minutes ago.

Not sure this is something you would want people to know.

I rarely ate there in the past, but on the few occasions when I did, my stomach would bother me afterwards and typically, not much does.

If I have a craving for Mexican, I just get a bowl at Chipotle, lots of roasted veggies and chicken, black beans, and no after effects.

 

[smithformeragent]

Both sides forgot how to pitch.

This is shaping up to be a five hour affair.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Tony LaRussa is joining the front office but it says his exact role hasn’t been defined yet.

Well, someone needs to cut ribbons at public events, since Tom Warner will be busy with the Roseanne reboot. They cant possibly want him in a baseball role. Last time I thought of him was his youtube video of his DUI arrest

 

[Fossy21]

Feel for Darvish, but go Astros!
