Peacock has been wonderful all year.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

Smoltz is great.

agree - and there's a little bit of irony that the Astros (A.J.) are being praised for using their eyes while their opponent is playing too much by the numbers.

Both times.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Got the tent set up, parked my ass near the campfire,  and watched the whole game on my phone.

Entire campground is now asleep except me.

And you can bet your sweet ass Den 8's contribution to the chili cookoff tmw is Frito Freaking Pie.

Brad Peacock's post-game interview on MLB Network is pretty much this:
 We gotta play 'em one day at a time.  I'm just happy to be here. Hope I can help the ball club.  I just wanna give it my best shot and, the good Lord willing, things will work out.
60% of the time... it works everytime.

In a matter of three days, I have seen:

the Astros win their first WS game
the Astros win their first WS home game
the bats come alive
and I have seen more rainbow gut in the playoffs, then in the entire decades of 1990's and 2000's.

What a glorious day to be a fan!

I guarantee you teams are paying attention.

Just can't make it thru the lineup 3 times?   You can't either?   No worries,  you'll both pitch tonight.

It was just reported on FS1 that Yuli made a racist "slant eyes" gesture in reference to Yu Darvish.  He's supposed to be interviewed by MLB and may be disciplined.  This happened right after his home run off Darvish.

Great.

Just back from the game.   What an experience.   Had no ticket then out of the blue, on the way to a friends house to watch the game my wife gets a text asking if we could make it.    Pulled the emergency brake and started heading back town.   Seats in 206.   35 years of watching the Astros and I FINALLY got to see an Astros World Series game and win in person.   So stoked....other than I have a flight to Tampa at 7AM tomorrow....

Not so fast. Heard he two-faced his response.  To the US media, he spoke in English and said to learn from it and move on.  To the Japanese media he spoke in Japanese and said that Gurriel should be punished. 

No source other than other internet commentary.  Probably fake news.  Still don't like Darvish.

I can see a fine and possibly starting next season suspended. I doubt he'll miss any world series games.

While what yuli did was obviously stupid. As always things are going to get blown way out of proportion, for the next few days he'll be public enemy number 1, with everyone calling for his head and act like they've never said or done anything that would be considered racist or offensive. I hate having to hear this type of shit all day so normally I just turn it off, can't do that for this.

He should be punished, but I don't think the offense is worth a suspension, at least not for a world series game.

The video is not as bad as I feared.

As for punishment,  who knows what/ when/ how long.

MLB will want to come across as strongly intolerant off intolerance so  WS suspension wouldn't surprise me.  Neither would no suspension and a fine.

Either way, unwelcome  distraction and unwelcome blemish on the Astros image.

Yes, fucking stupid, and I hate the blemish it leave on the team and organization. He was properly contrite and remorseful, thank goodness. In the heat of competition, people do and say stupid things, and this was in the dugout not on the field. He should know the cameras are everywhere.  I hope whatever punishment he receives (and he should be disciplined) does not include suspension during the WS. That affects the competitive balance of the teams and punishes every Astro, not only Yuli. His individual apology to Darvish should include a very public one on the field.
Often wrong, but never in doubt.

It's a shame that Yuli did that. I don't think he was taunting Darvish or that his intention was to insult Darvish, He was in the dugout being stupid. It certainly dampers the joy behind the win.

Article about defensive prowess last night:

https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/dodgers-astros-world-series-houstons-defense-makes-the-difference-in-game-3/

I do feel the Astros are a superior fielding team to the Dodgers, at least thru 3 games.

Disagree. He had just hit a big home run. The “heat of competition” does not stop at the dugout steps, and he was talking to his teammates, not taunting Darvish. If you think that makes him a dick, you have never done anything stupid you regret. I have.

And a lot of times, minutes after doing something stupid, "why the fuck did I just do that?" I sympathize with heat of the moment things because as you said, I know I've done and said some dumb shit in the heat of the moment.

Verducci's game 3 write up.  Good as always. 

Home field advantage, not more than about a two-percent edge in postseason history, has become powerful and meaningful in Houston. The strange abounds. McCullers and Peacock getting the first saves of their professional lives … Darvish inexplicably seeing his fierce slider turn to mush … An undefeated postseason at home for the Astros … And the noise … oh, the kind of noise that stays with you even in the quiet of the after … the constant, cathartic clatter and cacophony, an audible joy not so much because it was just four years ago that the Astros lost more than 106 games for a third straight year, but because only two months ago the worst rainfall event in the recorded history of this country landed smack on top of these people and stayed for days, and these people want to move on.

This piece in the LA Times brings up something important:

http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-dodgers-hernandez-20171027-story.html

Really, it’s the context. This might be a hard concept to grasp for anyone who is monocultural or monolingual, but believe me when I tell you racial terms aren’t said with the same level of maliciousness in Spanish as they are in English. Even racist-looking gestures, like the one Gurriel made, aren’t made with the same level of vitriol. Not close.

This is consistent with my experience in Latin America. I can't tell you there's no racism, but I can tell you there is strikingly less racism than I observe in the US, and I can tell you that because there is less racism people are significantly less sensitive to what we might be sensitive to.

That is not to excuse Yuli or to say he should not be punished in some way. The league has to set standards and as long as he's not suspended for WS games I don't really care how they address it. But it's important to keep in mind that the Latin guys come from a totally different context.

All good points raised above.

We probably all have seen older people in our lives whom we respect and love say some terribly racist things.  I certainly have.   Yet I knew these people to be kind,  gentle,  and giving also. 

We've also seen people say terribly racist things who are unkind,  unpleasant,  and unredeemable say similar things.

The words should be put into context of the person's character; the character is not necessarily defined by the words.

New here in recent years --- after a long hiatus from the old whoopass blog site.  Previous handle was Sambito.

My experience of racism is that it exists at every level of society from internal thoughts of individuals to the systemic nature of institutions and their biases.  Research actually confirms this, but this is such a charged series of issues (intertwined with family, culture, oppression, gender etc.) that people tend to solidify their opinions around racism early and tend to get more entrenched -- often with confirmation bias --- looking for those parts of lived experience which confirms their biases.

Anyhow, I think its better to distinguish between two of the more pernicious forms of racism (Overt/externalized and Institutional/internalized) versus some of the more innocuous "gotcha" types of humiliation for all involved --

Externalized or Overt Racism (where the idea is the person feels confident enough in the dominant culture to use race/appearance as a cudgel to abuse, shame or establish an unchallenged belief) is what 90% of us think about when we think of racism -- Often, this is a binary or black and white, or us versus them kind of ignorant comparison.

What is more relevant and pertinent is, however, institutional racism where public policies often reflect the dominant culture and disregard the implications of historically disadvantaged populations.  The minimization that racism no longer exists in any culture is a part of this --- "there is nothing here to see" kind of institutional forgetting so necessary to maintain dominant supremacy.

In other words, when racism is in your face or completely ignored as not occurring are most damaging forms. 

When we think of Gurriel, I think he was trying to be funny with his friends - at the expense of Yu.  No excuse, but hardly putting up a billboard and trying to send a message of hate.   And, I have not yet read his respond in entirety, but he sounded contrite and does not appear to be minimizing it as not happening. 

The sad truth is all of us by virtue of living in this society have the capacity to be racist.  Owning our mistakes and trying actively to prevent them from harming people is what we should be focused upon.
