10/15 ALCS Game 1 @ Astros

[d-money]

That sucked.

[d-money]

Need some good pitching here to hold on to this lead.

[Maxbialystock]

Javier showed 3 pretty good pitches--fastball, slider, curve--and good command. His game log says he routinely goes 2 innings, and 5 days ago he did 2.2 scoreless innings vs. the White Sox.

[d-money]

Throw strikes.

[d-money]

I feel like otto needs to give us this inning and the next one.

[d-money]

Get one more plz.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Be really nice if the SOX could have baserunners when Kike bats.

[Tedballgame]

Ottavino looking good. Another nice play by Arroyo.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

O Boy!

[Maxbialystock]

Another good play by Arroyo.

[d-money]

Good s***. Need to add to this lead. Need more runs .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another good play by Arroyo.

 

He has been solid defensively.

[Maxbialystock]

Not over yet.

 

Agree. Plus he's been a real boost to the lineup for about 2 months.

[redsoxrules]

This ump is garbage. Holy bad calls

[redsoxrules]

Pitch 2 and 3 to JD were clearly balls

[redsoxrules]

Are you f***ing me!? All 3 strikes were balls. This ump needs to get off this game

[Tedballgame]

Ump is ridiculously bad.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

F'ing chUMP. Foul one off the chUMP's mask; maybe he'll get his vision back.

[Tedballgame]

Why swing at that Hunter?

[Maxbialystock]

Are you f***ing me!? All 3 strikes were balls. This ump needs to get off this game

 

I could be wrong, but I believe that it's a strike when the umpire calls it a strike. Do you know a different rule?

[d-money]

Not hitting this pen right now. Sucks .

[Maxbialystock]

Why swing at that Hunter?

 

Because that's what he does--too often.

[d-money]

Don’t know how long we can keep this lead without adding to it. We have to hit their BP.

[d-money]

Big inning coming up for this team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In the movie MAJOR LEAGUE, Bob Uecker said "slightly outside." In this game Uecker would say "slightly outside; hold it, the chUMP called it a strike."

[Maxbialystock]

Taylor gets the 5th inning--if he does it right.

[d-money]

Is ottavino staying in the game?

[d-money]

No walks man.

[redsoxrules]

I could be wrong, but I believe that it's a strike when the umpire calls it a strike. Do you know a different rule?

 

Are you saying the ump made the correct calls on all 3 strikes that he called?

[Tedballgame]

Taylor doesn't get the LH batter out. Ouch!
