OT: MLB Thread XLIII

[2Leetch_94]

Catchers in baseball stink, keep the guy who can hit 30 homers for you.

His defense was fine this season, has sucked this round for some reason.

Can't wait to hear the outcry when Romine is the starting catcher for more than a month.

He's a .180 hitter for his playoff career combined with crappy defense. He's a liability when it matters.

An Otto 1-2-3 inning, I have my shocked face on.

 

[17futurecap]

The 1-0 strike call was a joke.

 

[LeetchisGod]

It's almost like umpires are guessing at balls and strikes.

 

[darko]

Urshela, Gardner and top of the order.

 

[17futurecap]

Have to get Judge up somehow in the 9th.

 

[ponzu4u]

Soooo hard not to be pissed (and overreact) at the yankees when the astros are just so f'n good that every mistake and fault is going to be magnified 10x

 

[ponzu4u]

also unfortunate that this happens to be the game where we finally get an ump calling a complete shit strike zone

If Boone hit and ran there it would have been 1st and 3rd. I know he is who he is and Urshela was on deck as the tying run but every break is going Houston’s way. Sometimes a break in strategy could get momentum going the other way.

This lineup has been totally neutralized, and I think a lot of us saw this coming. Houston’s pitchers have had excellent command all series and ahead in counts.

Sanchez is a hard guy to hit and run with due to lot of swing and miss in his game.

That can be said of way too many guys in this lineup.

True.

About 95% of the league is like this

 

[Cassano]

Our pitching was more than good enough to have won the series. It's the bats that have let them down.

 

[17futurecap]

After the Green homer, 7.1 innings, 3 hits, 1 run, 4 walks, 4 strikeouts.

In hindsight should've started Happ.

What a game from Gio!

 

[17futurecap]

Needed Roger Dorn to lean in.

 

[I Eat Crow]
