Great job by Green....

Terrible job by Ottavino

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I was wondering if Springer would ever show up this postseason.

A Springer HOME RUN ties game 2 at 2 all, 5th inning.

I was wondering if Springer would ever show up this postseason.

I didn't wonder yet, as there were still a few more games to be played.

But if it was deeper into this series, then yeah, I'd be more worried.

Wow game 3 is 3 PM on Tuesday.

Now i have to run home from work.

I think its 4 pm east coast time

Wow game 3 is 3 PM on Tuesday.

Now i have to run home from work.

I remember taking long lunch breaks, to watch some game 3's in past LCS years.

 

[nuraman00]

I want to see balls flying out of the park in every game.

I like pitching so I want to see balls flying into catchers' or first basemens gloves every game.

Terrible job by Ottavino

Yup...and I had hanger steak earlier......

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ottavino is Ottathere.

Yanked while the goin' is good?

He got a gift on that called 3rd strike.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I think its 4 pm east coast time

1pm out here in these parts, brah.

Lunch time and what not.

These were my predictions for the LCS.

++++++++++

Washington vs. St. Louis:

It's stupid that a wild card team can't have home field in the LCS, even if they have a better record than the team they're playing against.

This situation could have happened a few times since the new format in 2012, but this is the first time it actually did.

Washington has better starting pitcher on paper, and a better offense too, so I'll take them. St. Louis should win at least 2 games. A short series either way would surprise me. A long series either way would not.

I think I'm probably wrong on the game order, with Washington losing starts early in the series by both Scherzer an Strasburg, but who knows.

Washington in 6.

MVP: Rendon

New York vs. Houston:

I think I'm off on the game order again, but who knows.

I respect the Yankees bullpen more now. But I still think having the Astros starting pitching will be an advantage. There's a better chance that the Astros starting pitching can control different games in the series.

There's a good chance the MVP will be a hitter, but with the way I did the game order, Greinke has a chance too.

It's unlikely that Verlander and Cole will have a combined 4 quality starts. That's not realistic.

Houston in 6.

Looked like verlander asked Gardner if he wanted it thrown underhanded

 

[nuraman00]

That was a bad out by the Yankees at the plate.

 

[obxyankeefan]

1 good thing about Lemahieu getting thrown out there:

 

[Hook'Em0608]

I'm not exactly sure why they sent him there, but I'm glad they did. We need all the help we can get. Really struggling to score runs.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Stupid sending him there

 

[obxyankeefan]

WOW

 

[Hook'Em0608]

Welp, gotta tip your cap on that one.

 

[Pure Steel]

Stupid sending him there

Yup, didn’t kick away far enough and out by a mile.....needed to work Verlander more there

 

[bksballer89]

Officially a bullpen game
