The 2021 World Series: Braves vs. Astros

[absintheofmalaise]

Holy shit.

 

[Ale Xander]

It's going to be interesting to see what the Braves do with their glut of outfielders when Acuna comes back.

They should trade Acuna

/Ewing Theory

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

OMG

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Holy shit

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I can tell you from here that they are still doing the damned chop en masse.

We have a thread for that.

 

[patinorange]

We couldn't touch this guy. Shit.

 

[ifmanis5]

Do the Astros turtle here? That felt Damon/Bellhorny.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Valdez is throwing strike 1 better, but gets blasted anyways.

Snitker looks smart moving Duvall up to 6th.

 

[strek1]

Houston's given up a bunch of Grand Slams this post season.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Do the Astros turtle here? That felt Damon/Bellhorny.

Nah. Time to turn up the cheat

 

[staz]

Valdez' hull has been ruptured.

 

[InsideTheParker]

We have a thread for that.

Well, you said the fans didn't even wash! ( )

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

I've got Fox on a stream on my PC synced up with the MLB International feed on my TV, and it's like being in the director's truck - two different camera angles most of the time. It's unbelievable... albeit not as unbelievable as the start to the game for the Braves.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Well, you said the fans didn't even wash! ( )

Only the ones with indoor plumbing.

 

[Remagellan]

Do the Astros turtle here? That felt Damon/Bellhorny.

I think it's too early for that.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Jerry Remy once said that if the Sox were out of it, he would always root for the American League. I did not agree with that at all. The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend. Hence, go Braves!

 

[shawnrbu]

How early do the Braves go to Minter? 4th?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

If Morton was pitching right nwo and dealing, you could really start to dream.

How much Snitker goes for it tonight will be a storyline. I think he should be pretty aggressive but having to use Matzek / Smith 3 days in a row would be interesting.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

"Free Fallin" on the organ for Bregman!

Leading in a game that is the clinching game of the World Series, you go for it every single time.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Time to get someone up. You do not want to give Houston any life.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Should the Astros PH Framber this inning? They probably can't afford to pitching-wise, but...

[absintheofmalaise]

I'm sorry, but it's really annoying that Smoltz keeps calling runs points.

Prom night

 

[shawnrbu]

Marwin coming up.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Not Smoltz’s only annoying tendency.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Pretty good inning for the Stros.

Chavez / Smyly time for the Braves?

 

[shawnrbu]

27 2 out runs in the ALCS.
1 in the World Series.

 

[staz]

I'm sorry, but it's really annoying that Smoltz keeps calling runs points.

You don't have to apologize.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

You don't have to apologize.

Well, I didn't really mean it.

Breakout star of the series.

 

[shawnrbu]

Correa with a Jeter.

Didn’t the dude hit an RBI double?

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Oops!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Gruesome error for Swanson, raven hair or no raven hair.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Astros should be running on d'Arnaud every chance.

 

[patinorange]

They are going to blow the lead, aren't they.

 

[InsideTheParker]

They are going to blow the lead, aren't they.

I don't know. Do you?

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I don't know. Do you?

It was a statement, not a question. No question mark.

i root for the NL when its not the BoSox. I like The Cards

 

[Ale Xander]

28-9?

 

[ifmanis5]

I think it's too early for that.

Indeed you are correct.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Bugger.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

I wish we had faced this version of Alvarez.

[sigh]

 

[shawnrbu]

Altuve has scored 20 out of 23 times reaching base this postseason.

 

[shawnrbu]

Swanson error cost 2 runs, possibly more.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Before the game, I would have taken being tied after two-and-a-half innings.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Atlanta pitchers not throwing a lot of strikes tonight.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Considering how that inning started, a good job not giving up the lead
