ALCS: Astros vs Rangers

[msgkings322]

Just gotta win 3 of the next 6 and we get to the World Series.

Thanks for the heads up!

Just busting your balls, nice win. I want your team to win it all this year

Texas has a 1-0 series lead and will have Eovaldi and Scherzer starting games 2 & 3. Series momentum heavily favors Texas at this point.

Don't get carried away it's game 1 of a long series, and baseball is still random game to game. Even in the NBA you don't want to overreact to it.

That said, obviously a good idea to win game 1. This series is now at least a tossup for Texas

Things can definitely change quickly, but taking game one is huge and the pitching matchups in games 2 & 3 favors Texas, so I'm pretty darn excited. Also, this year Houston - though still really good - has dropped off a decent bit from last year so they are not borderline unbeatable anymore...

We already knocked Valdez out of the game. Astros going to need 6 1/3 innings from their bullpen. Just amazing.

Horrible AB from McCormick. Guy has thrown 8 straight balls and you get yourself out chasing shit.

Astros staring down the barrel of a gun. Score a run here or they’re down 0-2 with a Scherzer day looming.

Fair. If anybody can dig their way out of this spot, it’s the Astros. I’d be here for it. That would be some very compelling baseball.

They're staring down a fanbase that is going to be loud and relentless at home.

Should they be scared?

They should be.

Tonight's game is a tossup. In the matchups, Scherzer beat HOU in June with a 4-hitter but got blown out at TEX in September. On the other hand, Javier got blown out in TEX in July. But TEX has the momentum (2-0) plus they're at home.

 

[fightinfunbags]

I can’t stand to see catchers on the knee with a runners on but especially when there’s a runner on 3B. If he’s in the crouch ready to play baseball, he can smother that ball. Instead the ball spikes in the dirt and plays him. Bad fundamental baseball.

Oh shit, I swear that dude just stared at me through the tv screen as he rounded the bases
