2018 ALCS - Houston Astros vs Boston Red Sox

i think the call could have legitimately gone either way. but regardless of the legality, i feel like mookie was going to make the catch. because he's mookie. i'd probably feel differently if it had been nelson cruz in right field

All of that can be prevented with good camera placement, that the review system didn't think that such a situation would occur is kinda nuts.

in that fangraphs thing they show a good angle that was blocked by a security guard.

yeah, there should be coverage with a better angle than that.

i think it's reasonable to put your hand in the way rather than letting the ball hit you in the stomach

the fans were very much not doing this, they were trying to catch the ball as if they were in the game

hey fuckfaces you're not in the game! look i know you're in the very front row of the bleachers so you feel you are entitled to absolutely every fucking thing but would it kill you to get out of the way of the actual players? the ones who are like, so good at playing baseball that you paid through the nose to see them?? the ones who would make amazing catches if you would just GET OUT THE FUCKING WAY??

if they're the hated visitors?

My confidence level in Price tonight is at least 7%. But I'd love to be surprised.

well the Reagan/Bush '84 hat didn't help. between those guys and Osuna I'm kind of ready to hate the stros at this point tbh

xpost ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"A very graphic metaphor by A.J. Hinch there..."--that made me laugh.

i wonder if they sell the r/b caps in the team store

btw if anyone has a feed that doesnt suck that'd be great

coming in great on mobdro app

morbro app

price’s beard is so bad

Now I kinda want the Astros fans to rob a catch from Mookie again, that's the perverse effect of Sox Nation on how I enjoy the game.

Ex-Tiger > ex-Tiger

googleassistant: more shit u don't need

chris guccione strikes

Bregman is the shortest 6 feet dude i've ever seen.

I thought that pitch by Verlander was borderline...Maldonado jerked it up--maybe a strike, but I didn't think it was as clear-cut as the announcers did. Loved Verlander's death-stare at the umpire.

maldonado did a poor job framing, but the strike zone tbs has had it as a clear strike

I won't lie: there's a big part of me right now thinking "Quit while you're ahead and get Price out of there." With some help from the ump, he looks good.

Brillant at-bat by Gurriel.

Next item on the pace of play programme: timeouts while Price is pitching.

It was. (x-post)

Think I'd take Price out now--the Guriel AB drove his pitch count up, short rest, the bullpen pitches last night, he's living on borrowed time. He's been great, and if you move on, he's got something to build on. I know he's got the bottom of the lineup coming up--that's the once conceivable rationale I can see for sending him out for the fifth.

"one," not "once"

He a horse tho.

RIP

Whoa!

shit

is price coming back in for the 6th? what could go wrong?

His beard, as mookie pointed out.

(xpost) "David, you get one baserunner..."

hahaha Mookie

Astros can't catch a break

Can we skip to Kimbrel allowing two walks?

Good we need drama.

Lol @ VHS

It's hard to repeat in baseball. I did think they would but not to be

Gotta say I'm just glad we get to see Mookie for another series.

Very happy for Price. He's had too good a career to be treated like a running joke.

weird to see the red sox celebrate somewhere that isn't yankee stadium

Not seeing Red Sox play all that much, got to say their outfield defense looked amazing in the series.

BoSox starting to lay claim to the 21st century in the AL...

may they be swept next week

^^

If it's the Brewers, that's who I'll root for. If it's the Dodgers, I'll root for BOS.

Same. Would be fully behindbghe dodgers if not for machado. *spits*

yeah if there's one more thing Boston fans need is another title

root vs the (M)ass Evil

do fuck off, Morbs, thanks so much

Yeah, jealousy is nagl.

Just for ha-ha's I looked for tickets: $500+ for standing room only. Guess I'm not going to the World Series.

But definitely going to the parade after the Sox win!
