GDT: 2024 AL Wild Card Series: (3) Houston Astros vs. (6) Detroit Tigers

[Timeless Winter]

Hard to believe a playoff team doesn't have more than 1 starting pitcher. They should just go back to the best 4 teams in each league.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Can we get a clutch hit with 2 outs?

Nope.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Surprising how many people don't know the rule and think the Heyward ball was fair. If that ball had bounced before the base, yes it would have been fair but since it was a linedrive over it had to land fair, clearly didn't.

He's been hittin the ball hard and just missing two huge hits and RBI's 2 games in a row now.

 

[BMOK33]

Houston much like Milwaukee the ball just does not carry when the roof is closed, that shot is gone or at least off the wall if its open

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Astros squander a big chance.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Hope and then hits into a DP. One of those games. Brown has gotta keep on doing what he's doing. That being said , I'm optimistic that we will finally break through. As long as we can do it before Detroit does,

 

[BMOK33]

I think if Detroit is gonna win this its gotta be here or in the 6th, just think if it goes 0-0 to the 7th the Astros are gonna sneak out a win probably

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

That should not have been an out. The ball bounced off the Tigers glove. Ne never had control of it.

I felt the same. I think Houston replay staff probably saw that too but felt it was not worth a challenge given the fact it was in the glove for a second and did not think it would be overturned

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Wow absolute paint by Briske

Wow absolute paint by Briske

Astros are garbage.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Poor Hunter. I had a feeling that the offense would do one of their disappearing acts .

 

[BMOK33]

Last strong chance for Detroit IMO. After this its likely the 10th. Hold them here I think Astros win this 1-0 or 2-0.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Meadows!

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Wow bomb from Meadows

Houston on the brink

Don’t like Hou but feel bad for the kid Brown

 

[BMOK33]

The problem with this is I just doubt KC or DET can hang with CLE or NYY so you end up with a watered down postseason which was the risk by expanding the number of teams in.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Bummer ... But you get what you deserve. Offense has 12 outs to stave off elimination. On the plus side that means I will have a stress free October.

 

[BMOK33]

No idea who Detroit closes this out with given they burned the heck out of the pen yesterday late.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Thank you for giving us a chance ,Hunter. You deserve a W.

Clearly an out and a catch based on baseball's interpretation, would have been a thrown away challenge.

Astros are garbage.

Unhittable pitch....

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

C'mon Abreu. Channel your 2022 postseason form.......or walk the guy. Whatever works for you champ.

Jason Foley is the closer

 

[Halladay]

That slider was up, swung through it though.

 

[BMOK33]

That slider was up, swung through it though.

Yeah that was a bad pitch

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Some of our best bats are up. We still got this. Hit a pos bloop shot to the Crawford Boxes.
