Not Dave Roberts

9:29

McCullers seems to be just missing. I’d still bet on him plus 5 innings of bullpen work, rather than 7 innings of bullpen

Craig Edwards

9:29

I don't know.

Tone Womacky

9:29

Big DP there

Craig Edwards

9:30

indeed.

probably should have hit a grand slam instead.

Strange Penguin

9:31

Surprised they didn't challenge based on what we saw on TV

Craig Edwards

9:31

hard to overturn

But actually

9:32

Two challenges though

Craig Edwards

9:32

maybe he didn't want to interfere with what McCullers has going on right now.

Shauger

9:33

Craig......can I get a shout out to my Friend Matt A....he's a first time chatter long time reader!!

Jstodola

9:33

You sound like Girardi

Safety Stegosaurus

9:33

How much WAR is a good replay guy worth?

Craig Edwards

9:34

if you could overturn five more plays than average, that would be worth quite a bit.

9:34

what's the run expectancy for a bases loaded no outs situation?

Craig Edwards

9:34

about 2.3

9:35

What's the way to hit a low outside curveball? Slap it the other way, or lean out and yank it?

Craig Edwards

9:35

take it, if possible

Ben

9:35

anyone notice Turner doing something with his back foot?

Lunar verLander

9:36

Assuming the Astros don't score here, does McCullers pitch in the 4th, or is he done?

Craig Edwards

9:36

I would take him out, but I'm guessing he is allowed to get into trouble before he gets the hook.

9:38

that run-scoring double play took Houston's chances of winning from 72% to 82%. the outs, they were not productive.

The Hamburglar

9:39

I still cant believe Seager swung at that pitch out of the zone after McCullers couldnt find a strike to save his life.

Craig Edwards

9:39

he gave it the old Yankee try.

J Rich

9:40

To be fair to Seager, has to be thinking he gets grooved a strike after three walks in a row.

Craig Edwards

9:40

but needs to be prepared to take if it isn't a fastball.

Cowdisciple

9:41

What would we have to do to get A-rod to creep into the booth, drug Buck and Smoltz, and take over?

Craig Edwards

9:41

pretty sure that is a violation of some sort.

Hunky Dory

9:41

Does Maria go back to the rotation next year, or is he stuck in the pen now?

Craig Edwards

9:41

he will go back in the rotation.

The Hamburglar

9:41

Exactly. I understand being aggressive expecting a meatball, but swinging at 2 low curveballs is pretty horrible.

Tyler

9:42

Why is the roof closed give such an advantage to Houston

Craig Edwards

9:42

it is a lot louder, and most teams don't play in domes often.

The Hamburglar

9:42

Maria?

Craig Edwards

9:42

i assumed that was maeda.

9:43

contrary to what smoltz just said, both teams can just keep spending.

Peter from Pittsburgh

9:44

How does a big market team like Houston that's tanked for several years not have room for payroll growth? Is that what Smoltz said

J Rich

9:44

The crowd noise difference is not even close open vs closed. Huge advantage to have it closed. (And way more fun.)

zangler

9:44

Because it gets super loud: source, attend lots of games their.

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

9:44

Tell Hamburglar that he should try stepping into the box and see how well he’d do against those two curveballs.

Craig Edwards

9:44

shots fired

Connecting…
