Every pitch will be automated sooner than later

These umps don’t want to see 3+ inch misses every inning. They will beg for it

If Diaz steps in the box bot 9, I am out like him
All good ABs aside from Yainer Castro Maldonado

And I really shouldn’t slander Jason and Martin with that
This ump has embarrassed himself more than Diaz
Walk 3 straight to allow a run and after 5 walks you’ve given up, you can’t throw a ball on an 0-2 count to a guy who has hit 6 HRs in 11 games vs your team

Weiss can carry his arse back across the Pacific with Yainer under one arm and Matthews the other
Nah

Bad but not Walker bad

Obvious oppo situation that he completely Yainered on first pitch
So we go from a pro AB to a first pitch pull w runners on 2nd and 3rd no outs from Walker

Pro AB from Correa there versus someone who overmatched him previously
The worst part of this game is that Dollander has thrown 81 pitches in a game and has a lot of bullets left

Not starting him is almost as bad as the Astros playing Diaz or Matthews ever
IIRC, his parents were owners of several food service franchises
Have you seen him play RF the last 2 games?

Dude is reckless

Diving stupidly last night with 2 outs and tying run at 1st

Running for a soft liner with his glove out front for 10 steps before letting it bounce away

Now leaping across his CF camped under the ball

ETA- All that in the last 5 innings of baseball
Get this Carlos Gomez Jr moron off this roster
I love when every Astros pitcher is allergic to a lead and immediately works to lose it

Leadoff walk leading to 6 misses out of 7 pitches. I wanna swing at the next pitch, please. And I’m damn near 60 yo

Have we fired Dana Brown yet??


Brown and Espada should both be gone before the draft if this were to be handled correctly, but they are fire-proof

Reid Ryan or some other person of similar characteristics doesn't hold either of their positions, and Crane doesn't have a son he can place in that position.

I saw you picked St. Louis to reach the finals.



I've made no predictions, that would be a couple other posters. I haven't seen enough of all teams in every division to venture even a best guess.

My attendance to high school games is limited. Not an ump or reporter. Do a lot of box scores from GC

Despite their best efforts


Yes, esp Cam's dive in RF accidentally slowing the down the bounce with his throwing hand as he rolled, which kept the tying run from scoring and the inevitable loss from happening. :lol:

I had Astros on TV and LSU on my phone both ending within an AB of each other. There was something eerily similar about the experiences.

Luke Hewitt and Izaac Andre are a mean starting combination.



Well, they are defending champs, and they have plenty complementary pieces. I've followed them pretty much the last 2 seasons, knowing some of the parents from my years in NI. Have to agree with you because it seems when the pitching loses control, they manage to score runs in support every time.

I don't recall them facing a lot of top end pitching, but I did witness the Teurlings game vs Vincent, who struggled, yet Teurlings managed to win. Trappey pitched that game and fielded his position flawlessly, getting the lead runner on sac bunt attempts every time.

There is no clear cut favorite in this division. U-High recently lost to PBHS, who has the arms to win a series, but could never manage to score enough runs or play well enough defensively to win 2 out of 3 against a well coached team. Probably worth mentioning I'm hearing they will get back their overall best player who hasn't played any significant time this year. He could be worth 2 runs a game with his bat and speed.

This is happening on my Mom's Roku TV.


I'm also watching on Roku through ESPN app and it's the same for me.

Have to back out and go back in every commercial break or it will start over from the top of the inning

But last night it actually gave me an error 3 times and I had to pull game up on my phone and eventually it worked on TV

I assumed it was my internet, which has been historically bad, but not recently since we changed to fiber

Done

Thx for sharing
And deals need to get done NOW

YESTERDAY

Getting nothing for Framber was bad enough not even including his sabotage on the way out. You’re now gonna let Pena and Brown do you the same way

Both will be on the Tucker Recovery Plan

Crane is successfully tearing down all that he allowed to be built under Luhnow. Joking about blowing this up is past tense now

it's nice to finally hear the opinions of esteemed golf experts Steven A Smith and Brian Windhorst.


Yeah, they're missing the big takeaway from this conversation

Why, just why do we need their input on much of anything, much less golf
