6/10 vs Astros

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This is an entertaining game.

[TylerD]

This is a hell of a game won’t lie.

True, except, imho, it wasn't an infield fly.

 

I think umps consider who is making the play for the defense and how high in the air the ball was popped. If it creates a circumstance where the fielder is positioned right under the ball (Most likely an infielder would be in that position) I just don't think how far off the dirt is much of a factor in the decision. How easily the fielder is going to be able to simply have it drop at his feet, pick it up and make a throw to a base are the key elements.

 

Umps are pretty bad...but they are not freak conjurers that can see a gust of wind is going to move Correa's feet and make it a harder play than the ump saw when he put his hand in the air to indicate infield fly.

10-8. What a crazy game.

We need to put this game out of reach right here and right now.

I respect what you're saying. Either way there would have been an out. Actually, the infield out benefitted the SOX.

[iortiz]

Yes!

3 hours plus into this game and the 6th inning isn’t complete.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dalbec with two hits. Now the game has had everything.

[TylerD]

What a shot by Bobby!!!! Houston bullpen and defense s***ing themselves. We take advantage. I’ll take it!!

Consider it the Sergio Leone long movie ONCE UPON A TIME AT FENWAY.

[d-money]

Better not play around and get these outs.

Actually, this game could also be another Sergio Leone movie THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY.

DUGO is playing that wall like a violin.

[d-money]

This is ridiculous. Makes me wonder if the stros are cheating.

Agree. I'm OK with infield fly rule.

[Maxbialystock]

Super, super weird GIDP. This is indeed entertaining.

 

And long.

Only the radio cause I'm blacked out from the game. Just a simple question as I can't see what's the game.

 

What the hell is going on in this game? No broadcaster now or ever before can paint a picture of this cluster f.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

VAZ, apparently, was the only one who knew what was going on. Seeing stuff I've never seen before.

I don't know, but I did see the ghost of Rod Serling by the SOX dugout.

[a700hitter]

Can any of the Astro OFers catch a fly ball? They look like a bunch of IFers stuck out in the OF for the first time. Horrendous.

[a700hitter]

Let’s hope that Taylor isn’t the Punching bag that he was earlier in the season. That was a rope that Kike saved from being a double.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great play by Ki'ke.

[moonslav59]

The Astros pen is their weakness, and it's a big one. I was wondering when we'd et our gift, and tonight was the night.

 

Now, don't gift them back this one!

Not sure exactly due to just radio, but it sounds like popups are their weakness.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This game will provide some good blooper material for youtube.

[TylerD]

Another great inning from Taylor.
