  1. And it still feels like I'm watching with poisonous snakes slithering beneath my recliner... Christian Bounce-throw-yo! SCOOP!
  2. It's the 7th. Cora must be planning on Robles as closer (to let him regain his confidence?).
  3. I hate to say this, but I would keep Taylor in reserve in case it becomes critical to get Brantley out (.219 vs southpaws).
  4. 8-9 are whiffers, then Altuve -- all righties. I'm thinking Braiser. But definitely Whitlock for the last two frames.
  5. Yep, get back on the hears-- I mean, horse!
  6. If I were married to Miss Universe, I'd be... still jealous at Kike.
  7. Garcia: right knee discomfort. Let's make the Astros discomfortable the rest of the series.
  8. At the time I thought they got him at market prices and still do.
  9. It's like a rain delay. Pivetta for four, ERod for two, Whitlock for two...
  10. ATE to nothing! Wait -- Nate's got a floating eyelash... take him out. But not until the bottom of the second already begins. Let Eovaldi start Game 3 on Monday.
  11. Bases loaded, one out. Need A run here. Don't squander like last night.
  12. Jake from State Farm is wearing khakis.
  13. Garcia may go to Hell in a bucket, but at least he's enjoying the ride.
  14. Jake's coming to the door. He's looking for Samantha. Long Duk Dong just told him, "She getting married to oily bohunk." "Married?" "Yeah, married." "Married?" "Married! Jeez."
  15. And Betts will try to do it again in Boston in a few weeks, when LA visits for all the maahbills, is my most contrived optimistic comeback.
  16. He still does it in LA. Because he can.
  17. Old school methods of debuting young arms in the pen before transitioning to the rotation are no longer tried and true; it's all true/false now, no multiple choice. Old pal Daniel Bard bounced around and finally bounced back... but seeing if he could start seemed worth a try at the time. Papelbon found his niche at the back end and never wanted to start again. I'd have to be a real oxymoron to hope to use the word "consistency" in the same sentence with "relievers". Guys thrive, burn out, find it again, then blow it... eventually losing jobs, before getting new life in another org -- to start their mercurial cycle all over again. Look at Kimbrel: bad in the NL, then great in the first half of '21, returns to the AL and bottoms out again.
  18. Nate has five different pitches to hold off Houston. Garcia throws like Framber, so it will be like facing a pitcher the third time through in the top of the first. And just like the Sox had three straight relievers fail last night, we're due for a parade correction from the pen -- three more in a row to come through; meanwhile, look for an Astro arm to cough it up. Tonight the odds even up.
  19. He's always pimping something. When he hit a walkoff a few years ago vs. NY, he was holding his hand to his ear as he trotted. After the scandal, I just assumed it was acknowledgement to the dugout that he heard the trash can bang or the buzzer go off.
  20. Right -- players could wear pinstripes and be heavy preseason favorites, or win 100 games and finish first -- and still not get this far in the playoffs.
  21. Which inning does the crowd's wrists go limp so they all spin hankies with their left hands? Is that when Dalbec pinch hits?
  22. Kike, please don't steal third with one out.
  23. YOR so dan, you probably think leftfield is Brantley's...
