BlackSox13 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 30, 2017 -> 07:30 AM) StatCast said it was the highest home run hit the entire season. Between that hit and the Puig check swing homer, something is going on. Minute Maid Park was the top pitchers park all year too. Maybe the Astros took a page from the Twins notebook on how to use the AC to their advantage. Seriously though. It's a combo of the ball and that during the Astros rebuild Luhnow has not been shy about building his team's with more power in mind over the last few years.

With 2 of the top 3 television markets in the country playing. If this was Kansas City and Florida it is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football will still be king for the foreseeable future. The people who are boycotting the NFL because of the protests will forget about it soon enough and watch again.

Regular season baseball games as stand alone events are a tough sell. The excitement of these games have a lot to do with how much these games matter. Regular season games just do not matter as much as NFL games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 21, 2017 -> 10:40 PM) Astros in 6 Altuve MVP I suppose if Altuve has a big game, it's possible, but Bregman and Springer are probably leading that unless I'm forgetting something. A Game 7 would be cool, but I'm hoping Verlander throws a complete game, and the Astros win 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Astros fans are saying the team should wear their tequila sunrise uniforms for good luck tonight since today is Halloween and those jerseys somewhat resemble candy corn and I fully agree with them.

LittleHurt05 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 31, 2017 -> 04:58 PM) no guts no glory. It's funny because the Astros bullpen has been so bad that Hinch hasn't been able to wear out his relievers like Roberts has. He's been forced to use his other starters and long relievers, which has worked out so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 @AndyMcCullough Rich Hill was very unhappy with Yuli Gurriel's gesture to Yu Darvish in Game 3. Hill stepped off the mound so the fans could boo more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Only 20 pitches for Jansen in 2 innings today. Kershaw available, McCullers starting, should be a great game 7. A lot nicer when you don't have a strong dislike for one of the teams. I'll be at the UC following on the mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloydBannister1983 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Oct 30, 2017 -> 09:08 AM) If the world series turns out like this every year from a juiced ball,don't stop juicing it. These games have been so fun. I would take Jack Morris vs. John Smoltz 0-0 going into the 10th inning any day of the year over a 13-12 mess of a game.
