So much orange in those stands. I cried all October in 2017 - I get the feeling I’ll be crying a bit before the nights over.

Let's hope the Astros get good FBs to hit and actually swing at them tonight.

Meadows looked like he wanted to wave the white flag on the outside fastball and then he was treated to a filthy curve.

These guys have somehow put together a really, really, really good team.
And here's another thing - they're not really unlikable in any way, unlike most of the other teams still playing.

Better slider: Lidge or Cole?

Absoulutely. Of course, I have personal reasons, but if not for the Astros, I'd easily be a Rays fan.

Diaz chops into the 6.5 hole, Correa with a backhand and spectacular throw to nip the diving Diaz...6-3
Meadows...0-2...1-2...fouling off pitches...2-2...strikes out swinging

They have no payroll, no fans, the worst stadium in North American professional sports, I mean, the fuck are they doing over there? There is no universe in which they should be any good, ever.

I liked the old days when the Astros were my NL team and the Rays were my AL team. No question which team is number one for me but I am glad they don't play in the same division.

Well they're swinging at FBs.
Popping them up, but swinging.

He needs 30 more at bats before he's ready to hit in a big league game. His defense, however...
-
Too high...
-
Damn.
A little to the left, Tucker.
-
He needs 30 more at bats before he's ready to hit in a big league game. His defense, however...
So, right now, he’s just a really good shortstop.

Yep.

Yep.
Thought it was weird he started taking his gear off at the plate like it was the 3rd out.

Kiermaier played for the Canberra Cavalry in the ABL, and that is unforgivable.

Which is nothing to sneeze at. But he's just not going to be productive at the plate in the postseason.

Fuck the Cavalry. FTC.

Right on cue, a nice play to end the top of the 3rd.
-
Yep.

I think the pitch hit him, so he thought he was getting a base.

Fuck.
Machete swung at balls 3 an 4.

Fuck the Cavalry. FTC.
That has a ring to it, it could catch on.
-
Then he takes the best pitch of the AB.
-
I think the pitch hit him, so he thought he was getting a base.
Replay showed it was nowhere close. That much deviation off the bounce would be devastating in cricket.

Nice AB from Altuve.
-
Maybe it's a residual stink left over from his Mariner days but I don't care for Mike Zunino.

B3:
Maldonado...2-0...2-1 on a pitch over his head...2-2 on a pitch even higher over his head...3-2 on a pitch 5 feet off the plate...takes a fastball belt high right down the center of the plate.
Springer flies out F8 in shallow RCF...crowd goes crazy
Altuve...3-0...3-1 on a pitch at the shoulders...3-2...doubles to LF
Brantley...quickly 0-2...1-2...2-2...strikes out swinging at a pitch in the dirt, ball gets away from catcher towards the dugout, Brantley doesn't realize it and doesn't run at first...now he does, catcher runs it down and nips him at 1B
Astros with another LOBster in scoring position...no score
-
Snell threw 11 pitches to Maldonado and Brantley, only one was a strike...he struck both out.
-
Couple of tough breaking balls in that Brantley AB.

Then you should be glad that d'Arnaud is catching?

Correa takes strike one...takes strike two...taps out in front of the plate...1-3

Maldonado...throws over...throw over...throw over...Machete squares around and takes a meatball...1-1...hits one right down the LF line, dumbass ball boy forgets to pick up the stool and the ball hits it and bounces straight to the LFer...Maldonado has to settle for a single and Tucker has to stop at 3B...ball boy cost a run and a base
Springer waves at a pitch way off the plate...waves at a pitch way inside...swings and misses at a ball that would have hit him in the face had he not dove backwards

The worst part is, it's not Piershitzki. He's making sense, and Garardi is arguing with him, and I think Pierzynski wants to punch him in the mouth.

2 highpoints of the broadcast:

2. Girardi said Steinbrenner complained about him dropping foul tips and wanted them to practice catching them
Otherwise it's been a garbage dump.

I fear that when the Astros travel to Florida I'm going to lose my Astros radio feed option. They seem to offer only the home team feeds. I like Dewayne Staats for obvious reasons, but I'm going to go with the Tampa radio feed in Spanish.
And I'm going to tweet at whoever is doing the game that day, hopefully these same jackoffs, that they are so bad I would rather listen to the Spanish broadcast of the opposing team done by a guy who is motherfucking BLIND.

Not sour grapes:
Go back to just the bottom of the 8th. Several pitches off the plate were called strikes.
Patience is great if you get the calls.

Gerrit Cole finished with 33 swinging strikes tonight.
That's the most by a pitcher in a postseason game in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008).
There have been just 2 regular-season outings in that span with more: 35, by Danny Duffy on 8/1/16 and Clayton Kershaw on 9/2/15

Osuna threw a lot of non-competitive sliders in 1-2 and 2-2 counts, leading to the two walks.

Great win tonight.. Domination by Cole, just enough offense to finish the Rays off..

Frank Thomas looks like he ate a whole bunch of Nugenix. And a whole bunch of other stuff too.

He’s in Australia, they have limited TV privileges.

Occasionally I go to work. I don't work much, which is good, but I have don't have much say on when I go, which ain't so good.

If that ball boy had moved his stool, we might have an extra run.
On the road for most of the game and missed the stool "impact".
Nice take on it, along with a video, here (https://www.mlb.com/cut4/a-stool-stopped-the-astros-from-scoring):
....for one inning, in one game, a puny wooden stool sat in the path of destruction that is the Astros' offense and emerged the victor. That simple stool proved that the Astros can be defeated. The problem is that it may take an army of furniture to do it.
