World Series - Houston Astros vs. Washington Nationals

[baddog]

Almost a dinger

[baddog]

Tie ballgame. Go Stros!

[baddog]

Bregman dinger!!!!!

[baddog]

Guriell’s hit to left would have been a Crawford box HR.

Astros not too impressed with Strasberg.

[BS Wildcats]

Verlander digs the long ball.  SMFH!!

[BS Wildcats]

Now they're staring down the loaded barrel of Scherzer.

He's figured them out, and the Astros have not adjusted.

No doubt, lights out since the 1st.

[Hagar]

Be willing to bet no Series has gone 6 games with visiting team winning every game.  Hope the Stros can break this freaking X-Files phenomenon tomorrow.

Key moment.  
Altuve and his anxiousness/lack of patience given the situation.  5th inning reddick on third springer on 2nd. 1 out Pressure is on pitcher now.  Wait on your dang pitch. Swinging on crap outside the zone.  Pitcher had walked 2 batters the inning before.  You got Brantley and bregman coming up if altuve gets walked. There would ve been even more pressure on pitcher then, plus may force a pitching change.
I know altuve plays a certain way and usually produces but in that situation Hinch should ve told him to try and get the walk.

 

situational baseball.....gees

Very good analysis and I totally agree. Watching strikes go down the middle while swinging at stuff that hit the freakin plate. Game started out good and went to sucking pretty quick. 
 

Game 7......

[WOSdrummer99]

And swinging at the first pitch, was it 5 pitches in the 8th for Strasburg?

That swing reminded me of some of Bagwell's and Biggio's swings.  Could not lay off breaking balk down and away.

If strasburg was ahead in count that’s what he threw a majority of the time

So Matthew McConaughey is doing the "Play Ball" tonight. The kiss of death for the Stros.

As someone I know said, Woop-Dee-Do!

[BS Wildcats]

Hopefully Greinke can give us about 4 innings tonight.  Then Uriquidy, Harris, and Cole can close it out.  Leave Osuna on the bench!!

[BS Wildcats]

How long before Joe Buck tells us how old Juan Soto is?

Aikmans not around so he’s gotta find a new man crush.

[WOSdrummer99]

Yuli got em. 1-0 Astros. 

[Hagar]

Leaving to many in scoring position.  Time for the bottom of the lineup to get on fire.

[LumRaiderFan]

Greinke looking good, and showing those fielding skills. 🙂 

[5GallonBucket]

Who was the winning pitcher in game 3?  I thought it was Greinke
