Yes, I second that!

[petner]

Didn't we chase Sabathia from a game after one inning a few years back?

[Aussie Astro]

TV coverage has started which is great, if they let the college football over run my head would have exploded.

[Nate in IA]

Buck claims that he always says there's nothing like a Game 7 in baseball and therefore baseball is better than football.   Cannot disagree in the least.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

We ate at a hibachi place tonight.

I contemplated placing both hands on the grill and screaming to settle my nerves.

[Knoxbanedoodle]

I’m 37-years-old and have never felt like this before.

Here we go.

[Aussie Astro]

Didn't we chase Sabathia from a game after one inning a few years back?

I think so, seen the Rays get him a few times too as I remember, but I guess its gonna happen from time to time.  Let's hope tonight is one of theose times.

[homer]

TV coverage has started which is great, if they let the college football over run my head would have exploded.

Since its already Sunday for you, can you tell us the starting pitchers for game 1?

[Reuben]

Didn't we chase Sabathia from a game after one inning a few years back?

In his career, Sabathia has coughed up 6 homers and 3 doubles in just 3 games vs. the Astros, with an .807 OPS. That only includes regular season but fuck it.

Also, in his career he has a 5.09 ERA in the ALCS with a 1.67 WHIP (in 46 IP). Better in other postseason series but again, fuck it. I got my proof.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

I'm no prognosticator, but there is one talent in this game that is on the cusp of upper echelon greatness,  and it isn't #99.

Carlos Correa has been the most productive SS in the game since his debut in 2015.  These games are made for players like him.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

 sit down!!!!

[LonghornCDR]

Crowd sounds juiced. 

[Aussie Astro]

Since its already Sunday for you, can you tell us the starting pitchers for game 1?

Hey mate, we may have had this discussion before... are you at the game?

[Aussie Astro]

Crowd sounds juiced.

Big crowds are great, I've been in > 80k football games a few times and it is pretty awesome.

[Texifornia]

Now you chuckin' in there Charlie!

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Nicely done,  Charlie Morton.

Let's get some hits.

[T. J.]

Didn't we chase Sabathia from a game after one inning a few years back?

I think you may be thinking of King Felix, but we can roll with it.  Maybe?

[Nate in IA]

Here we go.. Top of 1

Mark Carlson behind the plate.

Gardner, 95 strike, offspeed strike, strike swinging at 97.     Have a seat!   1 out!
Judge,  foul, ball outside, slider out, grounder to Bregman.. 5 -3 2 out!
Gregorious, 97 on the outside for a strike, foul, uncle charlie gets him swinging!    Have a seat!   3 out!

I like Morton's pace.. he's getting the ball and throwing it. and throwing it well.

0 -0

[chuck]

What was strike two to Gardner? What pitch?

[Astros Fan in Big D]

I think you may be thinking of King Felix, but we can roll with it.  Maybe?

Somebody's profiling here.

And t was Rick Rheuschel.

[chuck]

Offspeed says Nate, thanks.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

What was strike two to Gardner? What pitch?

80 mph breaker scraped the outside; his face got uglier than usual.

[austro]

Pretty sure I just saw HH as they went to commercial after the top of the 1st.

[jbm]

What was strike two to Gardner? What pitch?

Hanging curveball

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Come on Astros, lets hit 'em hard early.

[homer]

Hey mate, we may have had this discussion before... are you at the game?

Yah. It's loud.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

 That is fucking good to see,  Springer!

[Astros Fan in Big D]

De facto bunt.

[Aussie Astro]

Yah. It's loud.

You lucky dog, drink a big-ass beer for me!

[subnuclear]

What was strike two to Gardner? What pitch?

80.3 mph curveball according to gameday.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

 A couple of first pitch outs.

If those were the pitches they were looking for,  fine.

[Nate in IA]

Bottom 2

Springer, called strike 3 inches of the outside edge, ball, ball inside, single to center!   WAY TO GO GEORGE!
Bregman,  first pitch swinging gets CC off the mound to throw him out..   1 out, Springer to 2nd
Altuve, first pitch grounded to third, Springer holds,   2 out.
Correa, First pitch grounded to Castro.. 3 outs.

0 -0 after 1

[94CougarGrad]

Let's do this.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

I want to complain about Altuve not taking a pitch but I can't.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Correction: 3 first pitch outs.

Morton had a long chat with JV. 

[94CougarGrad]

[T. J.]

Great start for Morton.  That was a fuckin' hammer he dropped on strike 2.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Bregman is good.  My favorite Astros 3B since Caminiti.

He's a stud.

[Nate in IA]

Top of the 2nd,

Sanchez, first pitch through the wide open hole of the shift,    single,
Bird, first pitch fly to center.     1 out

Great play.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Good catch. Fucker.

[T. J.]

Getting good swings though.  That is promising.  Keep hitting it hard, good things are gonna happen.

And why wasn't there a kid reaching over to grab that one?!

[Astros Fan in Big D]

 McCann tried to catch that with his shoulder blade.

[94CougarGrad]

Wow. I just realized that one of my offspring is nearly as large a human as Sabathia.


McCann takin' a stroll.

[subnuclear]

Let's go get Sabathia.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Find your pitch,  Marwin.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

 nice changeup,  jerk.

[94CougarGrad]

Come on, y'all. Shake him up early.

[T. J.]

This is going to be Reddick's game.  I can feel it.

[subnuclear]

Good AB by Marwin.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

 when the CC Sabathia biopic is made,  Forest Whitaker will play the lead.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Yeah boy. Marwin sets the table for Reddick.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

 Damn.

Keep doing your thing,  Charlie.

[T. J.]

This is going to be Reddick's game.  I can feel it.

(Still feeling it.  Wish it would've started there.)

[Nate in IA]

Bottom 2

Gurriel, ball outside, ball down, Fly to deep right.. Judge gets it.. great catch...   1 out  I think his height got that for him.
Gattis, foul, swinging strike up, ball up, ball down, grounds sharply to third, Gardner drops it but throws him out  2 outs
McCann, ball in, ball down, ball in (was a strike), ball four.    Walk
Gonzalez hitting right, ball down, foul back, ball up and in.. strike swinging on the changeup,  foul,  base knock over Castro for a single..   McCann to second
Reddick,  curve ball in there for strike 1, popped it up to Judge in right.    3 outs..

I wish the Forest Whitaker eye were a factor in this game.

No shit, right. Or at least Forest Whitaker's head and John Goodman's body.

Yes, Joe, let's talk again about how spectacular that Judge catch was, by all means.

Let's smack the ball around.

[LonghornCDR]

Time to knock CC around. 

[Nate in IA]

CC is there for the beating..

[Astros Fan in Big D]

 good swing/contact.

Good sign.

[Ron Brand]

Even when he's cruising, Sabathia looks like he's laboring.

[Ron Brand]

Oh, and cocklick.

[subnuclear]

I don't want good contact, I want some hits.

[LonghornCDR]

CC really looks like he's laboring.  Hit your pitch fellas

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Hit it hard,  good things may happen!

[Astros Fan in Big D]

I don't want good contact, I want some hits.

How about both?

[Ty in Tampa]

Even when he's cruising, Sabathia looks like he's laboring.

that’s because he’s 500 lbs.

[subnuclear]

How about both?

Both is good.

[Ron Brand]

Rockhand.

[LonghornCDR]

He's not close.  Girardi better get someone up. 

[subnuclear]

He wasn't going to give Altuve anything. He'll pitch to Correa.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Nah. Ride him all 9.

[LonghornCDR]

Or not.  Leave him in as long as you want. 

[geezerdonk]

If the Astros don't win, you can't blame Sanchez and Castro.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Altuve with good plate discipline

[94CougarGrad]

that’s because he’s 500 lbs.

That's a large human.

[Ron Brand]

Remember those days when the Astros would swing at anything?

[Astros Fan in Big D]

 bad time to start sucking,  blue.

[LonghornCDR]

bad time to start sucking,  blue.

Charlie got one last inning. 

[T. J.]

I think Smoltz is right - he had a play at 3rd.

Fuck that first strike blue.  Should've been 3-0.
