I thought I read somewhere they wanted to be able to accommodate additional elaborate Vin Scully first pitches.
Which may have been a joke, I'm not sure.

Good plan, and feel free to throw in the odd FUCK YU!

T1 of Game 3

Taylor leads it off..
ball low, ball just outside, strike, ball low, popped up to Altuve in short right field.  1 out.

[Aussie Astro]

Dwight Howard is a colossal dick.

[Nate in IA]

T1 of game 3 1 out
Seager
curve for a strike, rocket to right, altuve knocks it down and throws him out from shallow right. 2 out.

[Nate in IA]

T1 of Game 3  - 2 out
Turner
 ball in,  change up low, curve for a strike,  curve down and out,  curve smacked to deep center, Springer runs it down.

3 outs..

0 - 0

[subnuclear]

Some hard hit balls in there, but maybe that's the plan.

[Aussie Astro]

I wonder if they take Turner to the hotel with them or just let him sleep under the bleachers?

[Aussie Astro]

Some hard hit balls in there, but maybe that's the plan.

I confess to a bit of nerves when he starts a hitter 2 - 0.

[baron]

This was always gonna be a brawl, but the tight strike zone could make it even crazier.

[Nate in IA]

B1 of Game 3  no outs

Bregman
foul (96 mph fastball), ball up (slider), slider misses upstairs, foul to the right, foul (97 mph fastball),  great slider that Bregman fouls off, foul (97 MPH fastball),  grounded to Turner at 3rd.  1 out.  Springer stays at 2nd.

[hostros7]

Springer’s hitting the last few days almost rivals the 2016 election for top of the list of arguments against a democratic decision making process. The fans had seen enough.

I'm pretty sure he stayed at second and then went to third on Altuve's fly out.

Yeah, they would have nailed him I think.

I’m not a curmudgeon, but if I see some little leaguer licking his bat between pitches, I might propose that he lose his snocone privileges.

[doyce7]

No need to push it in that spot with altuve and correa coming up. If he goes and Turner sees him, he's a dead duck and you've traded a runner at second with 1 out for a runner on first and 1 out
