 keuchel erases a leadoff double with a K, then a backwards K, and a groundout.

Double came on a hanging curve.   Otherwise looked fairly sharp.

My parents, who live in Houston, flew to Chicago, got seats behind the plate, screamed like idiots, which was transmitted  via MLB AtBat to Manhattan, where my 19 month old laughed his head off.

72 pitches, 7 walks, 2.0 innings, 8 earned runs (with two runners still on base, so that could get worse). That's pretty remarkable.

BTW, I don’t think I have to remind anyone that when I left the country, the Astros started mashing.

That first championship heart didn't start beating until they went to Phoenix down 0-2. That despite a 58 win (then franchise record) season.

So we'll see how this crew handles things. I have my doubts,  but that may simply be because my brain can't comprehend that this is what basketball has become.

What it’s become?  A game about ball movement...dribbling, passing, and shooting?  This is the golden era of professional basketball.

I don't dislike the current game, it's just different,  No post play and mid range jumpers are anathema.  Rockets set the record for 3 point attempts multiple times this season and were correct in doing so.

When they allowed tackling in the game it changed things, but not for the better.  I love basketball and will probably always watch it but a lot of things drive me crazy about the NBA.

It’s definitely different than the grind it out, back and forth to the big man game of the 80s and 90s. But for the better, IMO. If you’re a fan of the game of basketball, you have to love the NBA right now. The fundamentals are so good. It’s what basketball was always meant to be.

Hard fouls and 'earn them at the line' have always been a part of basketball.  But in the modern game, players are allowed to wrap up players (tackle them) and not even try to make a play on the ball.  Pin the arms and hold them down.  I know that NBA and FIBA rules are different but a fundamental of the game is you are not supposed commit fouls, that’s why it is called a foul I guess.  I haven’t seen any ‘hack-a-player’ lately, that shit just about makes my head explode, maybe because I am old enough to remember when ‘intentional fouls’ were a thing.

Intentional fouls have always been apart of the game, but they’re not allowed, in the sense that they still result in a foul and penalty. The NBA has tried to curb the egregious ones and the “hack a player” strategy to some extent with some rules on flagrant fouls, especially away from the ball. But it’s kind of like intentional walks or pitching around guys in baseball.  It goes against the fundamental nature of what you’re trying to accomplish, but sometimes there’s a strategic advantage in putting the game in the hands of weaker players.  Teams will always try to exploit a weaker player when they can.  You’ll never officiate it out of team sports completely.
