They are just a bunch of lucky arse punks....that luck could easily turn in the next 3 but we'll see. Sometimes the baseball gods are just against the good guys.

This is why people call astros fans garbage and bandwagon. Luck doesn’t win 108 games. Luck doesn’t dominate a 100 game winner in the ALDS or put you up 3-1 in the ALCS against another 103 game winner.

This is just such a casual MLB fan take.

Betts' hand was clearly in the stands behind the yellow line which by rule should have made it a homerun. That was one of the worst calls I've ever seen I mean it couldn't have been more clear.

You are wrong and delusional

I've seen multiple angles from Red Sox and Stros fans all over twitter with both showing the most flattering angle for their fanhood. I don't think it can be argued that Bett's glove was at or across the yellow line. The question is whether the fan who's hands were in front of Bett's glove made contact with the ball or with his glove before either left the field of play.All the angles show it's a close call, had it been called a HR it wouldn't have been overturned. One of the classic "the play stands" where there isn't enough evidence and you have to go with the ruling on the field.
