10/17 ALCS game 4

[vegasbob]

Never thought one of the very best umpires of this century and most others, Joe West would be my new hero for getting that call right.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Wrong!

 

Well argued.

[a700hitter]

Porcello survives a shaky start and gets out of the first inning with no runs.

[jung]

he's rattled.

 

They never have found a good way to deal with doing something for the pitcher who goes from pitching to standing around waiting for Chelsea NY to come up with a decision.

[Slasher9]

Btw.,,that was by far the most bizarre “shutdown inning” I have ever seen.

Freakin’ Baseball....

[Sox75]

Does anybody here have a depthometer? NO!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great call by West. I love seeing those Texas rednecks crying.

[Station 13]

Tack on

[Sox75]

Well argued.

 

Seriously? Again.... THE CALL ON THE FIELD must have indisputable proof? There was none! Perfectly argued.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

With POR's over 4 ERA, one never knows what to expect from him.

[vegasbob]

Rick does tend to go off mentally when rattled and lose his baseball mind. The HBP and 3-0 count showed that the near HR did rattle him. He needs to suck it up and be ready for #2.

[a700hitter]

And after all that, Porcello threw only 14 pitches.

[cp176]

Hey i'm wondering if the astros fans are feeling right now the way I felt this morning when I saw Pearce's ball hit the left filed wall last night. LOLLOLLOL

[illinoisredsox]

I hate to say it, but Mookies hand was outside the field of play, that ball was in the stands. Should have been a HR

 

Disagree. I think his glove was over the wall, but it came back into play directly off the glove. Probably should have been ruled a double, which is where Altuve ended up.

[Sox75]

Now... am I stunned by "the call on the field?" YEP!

 

it was the correct call, any way you slice it!

[jung]

Of course we would have had a good shot of that play in RF if the security guard had not stuck his fat ass in the way.

[TylerD]

Get the walk. Leave it to Mookie to further the damage!

[Slasher9]

Helluva an AB

[vegasbob]

What a great plate discipline by JBJr. He really has changed for the best.

[Spudboy]

JBJ with a good at bat.

[Sox75]

Let's forget about the 'spirit of the game,'& whether or not he 'would have made the catch,' which he clearly would have. THE CORRECT CALL WAS MADE! You can't overturn the call on the field from that angle!

 

PERIOD! EXCLAMATION!

[a700hitter]

Still waiting on Betts 1st post season HR.

[TylerD]

Poop

[d-money]

That inning sucked!!! We need porcello to settle down.

[jung]

So it does look like the Astros RH hitters are onto what we are trying to do to them. Rick has to up his game here and throw better pitches.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Astros walked JBJ to face Betts.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If you remove the T for Texas off of the back of the Astros' pitcher's jersey, you have a MORON on the mound.

[TylerD]

Porcello looking like dog s***

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Who's warming up?

[illinoisredsox]

So it does look like the Astros RH hitters are onto what we are trying to do to them. Rick has to up his game here and throw better pitches.

 

Yep, they are definitely looking to hit the other way. Need to counteradjust
