Wow, 6Ks in a row
 
Edit: 5.

Exactly what about Young's 88 mph fastball is hard to hit?

He's 6 ft 10 and has a quirky delivery that throws off timing. Gives me hope for Owens.

 

[glasspusher]

Oh my, Morales again

 

[Al Zarilla]

Must be. He threw some of them dead center middle of the plate. 

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Maybe its just me but perhaps McHugh should rethink his approach against Morales

 

[Norm Siebern]

[Norm Siebern]

Cy Young

 

[glasspusher]

Must be. He threw some of them dead center middle of the plate. 

 
Timing, too. Switching from Ventura to him was quite of a switch.

 

[glasspusher]

I guess you could say I like to root for other guys who are five foot six.

 

[Norm Siebern]

My favorite baseball memory? My third daughter born on Pedro Martinez' birthday on the travel day of the World Series; two days later I held her in my arms as the Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years.

 

[glasspusher]

PERFECT throw 

 

[Norm Siebern]

Wow, that was a rocket

 

[glasspusher]

Al, I told you that fastball of his was easy to hit!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Stoopid caught stealing. Coudda been two.

 

[Norm Siebern]

That will arrest some momentum

 

[Al Zarilla]

Al, I told you that fastball of his was easy to hit!

Houston had to put a bit of a time delay on their swings is all. 

 

[Norm Siebern]

So if the Astros play the Cardinals in the World Series, will anyone in the media finally bring up the Cardinals' cheating?

 

[Al Zarilla]

The guy with the soccer name can go get the ball.

 

[Norm Siebern]

The guy with the soccer name can go get the ball.

Needs to get a soccer beard though

You mean The Cardinal Way™?

 

[glasspusher]

Houston is winning this game.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Houston is winning this game.

Thought I was in the football thread for a second.  :huh:

 

[Al Zarilla]

Pablo Sandoval mention, concerning when he was good. 

 

[glasspusher]

Thought I was in the football thread for a second.  :huh:

Understandable, I suppose, but rest assured, it's unlikely you'll find me commenting in a football thread.

 

[glasspusher]

That ball he hit was 98 Kelvin!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Here's the lefty Oil Can Boyd. 

 

[strek1]

Nice pick at 3rd there.

 

[glasspusher]

The Freedom Hikers, hiking together, to drink crappy light beer.

 

[glasspusher]

First pitch, boom.

 

[canderson]

I picked KC/Toronto but am really hoping for a Texas/Houston ALCS.

 

[Norm Siebern]

Harris loving a charmed existence

 

[etakbear]

Pretty sure I just heard "Houston's last chance - Astro's up by 3". I'm missing Remsillo.

 

[glasspusher]

Royals offense has seemed lifeless all night.

 

[Norm Siebern]

I know Perez is a top notch defensive catcher, but he would drive me nuts if he were the Ref Sox catcher. I can't watch him at the plate.

 

[BestGameEvah]

Beltran gets a shot in the back.
Donaldson passes a concussion check but Brandon McCarthy reminds us:

A gentle reminder, as my brain was dying and in need of immediate medical intervention, I passed a concussion test.
 
Take out slides are dangerous:

 

[Darnell's Son]

JimBoSox9 let's us know why he's rooting for the Royals:

 
 
A decade after my departure, there’s no shortage of high-intensity games being played at Kaufman, as the 2015 Royals have flipped double freedom-rockets at the sabermetric community by not only repeating their improbable 2014 season, but so far surpassing it. While I could never, ever, stoop to having a ‘second’ AL team, I’ve kept half an eye on the all the ‘local’ pro teams that hosted me during my college exodus, and if you haven’t been paying close attention I’m here to catch you up: this Royals team is pretty darn fun.

 

[Catcher Block]

Beltre not in the starting lineup for Game 2; Bautista and Donaldson in for Toronto. 

 

[BornToRun]

Stroman wearing a single digit number both confuses and frightens me.

 

[AMS25]

Dumb question. I'm at work. Where can I get a stream for this game?

 

[Seabass]

This could get ugly quickly for the Jays. 

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

1-0 Rangers with runners on 1st and 3rd with no outs in the top of the 1st. Nice start.

Thanks. Yeah, Stroman looks like he's throwing batting practice.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Lol

 

[soxhop411]

Come on TOR

 

[mikeford]

This series is so over.

 

[ifmanis5]

Toronto looks tight.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Bunting is dumb.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Why would you give away an out when the pitcher is clearly rattled? I hate most baseball managers.

 

[Seabass]

Bunting is dumb.

The Jays are shitting their pants out there, and the Rangers are trying to give them an out.
