Astros 10/9, ALDS game 4

[Thunder]

Either way, it's fun to see the crowd belittling the umpire now

[dannycater]

Yes, they were close and too close, so no, yes, you have to protect the plate.

[TylerD]

2 up and 2 down for Porcello. Giving us what we need today so far which is a damn good chance to win.

[BstHcpr]

Don't leave it up the ump. Just swing for it.

 

That's what they're going to have to do going forward.

[Thunder]

Can't hit it if you don't try

[Station 13]

This afternoon has been quite a choke for both team. The score should be a blowout.

[dannycater]

Astros hitters don't f*** around...they take big swings

[BstHcpr]

Yes, they were close and too close, so no, yes, you have to protect the plate.

 

I get that, but that still is just an excuse for an umpire being terrible at his job. Unfortunately, it will probably take several blown calls in a Game 7 of the World Series for the system to change.

[dannycater]

there have already been famous blown calls in WS games....including a throw to first KC-STL, and a certain batter's interference by Ed Armbrister not called in the '75 for a pertinent example.

[Station 13]

And a pitch down the middle got crushed. Always a fastball.

[Thunder]

Astros hitters don't f*** around...they take big swings

 

We don't, and that's been the difference this series

[d-money]

Damn it. He gets the first two and then the double. That's porcello for you.

[TylerD]

Solid inning for Porcello. And everyone wanted him out this inning. Looks calm and relaxed out there. Offense needs to start swinging.

[dannycater]

The Moreland check swing was the worst call, by the 3rd base ump...bad call...and oh yeah, still the best starting performance all series done by 2016 Cy Young.

[d-money]

Let's get that run back!!! Let's go!!!!

[Station 13]

Solid inning for Porcello. And everyone wanted him out this inning. Looks calm and relaxed out there. Offense needs to start swinging.

 

Did you miss the first 2 inning? He had 9 base runners. It's why some don't want him for a third.

Good call. Still scary.

[User Name]

Snakebit.

[TylerD]

Ugh. Smh. Double play. Just killing ourselves.

[OH FOY]

Challenge it anyway

[Thunder]

Touch luck there, especially with the Moreland double

[OH FOY]

Benni is a space cadet

[TylerD]

Didn't miss it at all. Gave us a better chance than the other 3 starters. We need some innings from him today and he was solid the last inning. It's the offense that isn't doing s*** right now.

[OH FOY]

HR need HR

[Station 13]

Benni you f***ing tool.

[TylerD]

Now they're bringing in Sale???? Why? Porcello had nearly a perfect inning. Why not let him go one more?

[TylerD]

Oooooomg sooooo close. Ugh

[Spudboy]

How was that on Benni.

 

He had no chance.

[Thunder]

Bringing in Sale here is stupid because we're a half hour away from a rain delay

[OH FOY]

Benni really screwed this up. Butterfield got to go.
