My family has been in town all weekend and haven't been able to sit down and watch a game yet.
-
Little trouble with the pennant reveal. Still glorious.
-
It was awesome, but I'm sure that's going to show up on Deadspin with a suitable pithy/brain dead headline.

Oh, please, you *know* what the headline will be.

That's why I used both terms. They think it's one, it will be the other.

one pitch one out. i want to be there

Springer doubles. Bregman doubles down the left field line to drive him in. Astros 1-0.
-
I’m surprised they didn’t challenge the Bregman out.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was safe, but I guess Hinch didn't want to use it up in the first inning.
-
I guess he didn’t either, but I wonder what the calculus is there—especially given the Bannister model of receiving unlimited challenges. If you potentially have the opponent’s starter on the ropes in the first inning of the first game of the series, seems to me you’d press the case. Maybe they saw an angle where he was definitively out.

Interesting factoid, or not.
O's left side of the infield: 1st pick and a 3rd pick.
Astros left side: 1st pick and a 2nd pick.

Positioning!

I agree with the logic, but he looked out to me. Terrible baserunning. Thankfully don't see that often from this club.

Correa out. No official word yet.
-
Correa out with big toe discomfort. Last year the thumb.
-
Didn't he foul one off that same foot yesterday? When he did, he bent over and the trainer came out. I thought for a second he was going to leave the game yesterday.
-
Holy shit, a Curly sighting.

Morton!

I’m for scoring runs this inning. About five or so.
-
Marwin kicks off the 4th with a lead off bomb on a 3-1 fastball.

I'm just going to assume Marwin was imagining that ball was Jerry Meals' head.
-
McCann possibly already nets 2018’s single-nearest-a-home-run.
-
Fisher with RBI triples on consecutive days!
-
I think Brian stopped for a beer at second.
-
I love triples.

I love triples.
And RBI singles.

That's where we keep the keg.

...and twins!

I can hit tanks when I play SS too.
-
What took longer, McCann rounding the bases, or unfurling the WS pennant?
-
McCann won by a nose.
-
Kalas on Bregman's play: "He Machado'd Machado!"

Did the TX series crew follow us? I guess that makes sense, but I sure ducking hate it.

Nope' different crew today. Mostly competent.

I have to give Fisher some love. I criticized him during the spring saying he didn’t look ready. If he continues this he’s going to be fun to watch all year.

I loved that interview of Morton describing the last out of the World Series. I could watch it on a loop.

My first thought at that time was exactly the same as his: "Make sure this is the third out."

Jose Altuve is a ridiculous hitter.

The ump crew may be competent, but the scoreboard operator isn’t.

Pffft. His average has fallen to .500.

He certainly hits ridiculous pitches.

That's why he was a million dollar bonus baby coming out of Venezuela. Or something.

He had that exact same hit yesterday. It's like he knows it's going to be 4 inches off the plate. I mean it's 98mph out there, you don't just "let it travel" when it's 98mph out there.
-
Fisher hit that ball *really* hard.
-
Fisher has been squaring it up.
-
Colin Moran gets the G-Slam in Pittsburgh. Good for him.
-
The Bregman clinic.
-
Oops, there goes the shutout.

Kick ass job by the Whoopass team. Pound you some Buds.
