    Those 2 games were something else.  Valdez was lights out man.  Threw a very nice game.  Sale was amazing until he wasn't.  It was like a switch went off and suddenly the Astros could hit him.  That was very weird.
    It was basically just Alvarez, got 3 of the 4 hits off Sale, and drove in all 3 runs he let up (not counting the one charged to him that Brasier let up).
    The dude was a one mane Sale-wrecking crew.
    Missed third strike call on Altuve puts him to first.
    Brantley hits a squib that Devers fielded right and Schwarber muffed, Altuve to third , Brantley on first.
    Squib back to the pitcher, holds Altuve and only gets the batter at first.

    I'm sure Sale was a little frazzled by this now so it wasn't just Alvarez that did damage up to this point.

    The good news is that it looks like I’ll have one less poster to frame. 

    Much less expensive to just ship it to some doofus in Kansas City. 
    LOL

    Series is far from over, bud.

    I’ve been watching these Sox intently all season long. If they are the same team with the same patterns, then it’s over.

    Hope I’m wrong but it’s over. Slumping at the wrong time and that offensive production wasn’t sustainable. Nice surprise to be in the post season though.

    What is the deal with all these "bullpen games?"

    Yeah, it seems to be working for the Braves tonight... but I have to keep hearing about LA playing one tomorrow. And LA could be facing elimination...??  And the Braves are big series underdog who just lost a heartbreaker and can recover to take a huge lead... This seems like gross mismanagement by ANY manager that can't throw a starter out for every game IN THE PLAYOFFS. This isn't the regular season where you're playing 10 days in a row.. there are scheduled days off every 3 days max. Its tough to make the baseball playoffs and tougher to make the Championship Series.. these are good teams, who, every year it seems (not just ATL and LA), can't manage a roster to avoid playing a very important game where you're praying for a pitching prayer. Throwing a "bullpen game" sounds like you are trying to steal a win... in a time when wins are too important.

    definitely a newish thing. in the case of the stinking dodgers, they only have 3 starters they trust. kershaw is on the IL (as usual); carrot top is on the IL; bauer is suspended for being a woman beater and david price is being david price.

    bullpen games can, in theory, be really tough on the opposition…..batters are facing fresh arms; throwing different stuff from different sides and don’t get a second or third at bat against the same guy.
    I had this idea years ago.  Make every game like an All-Star game.  Load the roster with 15 pitchers whom all pitch two innings every other day or so and extend a pitcher to a 3 day rest.

    I think you could do this throughout the year and do some real damage to other teams.

    It is my analytic pipe dream I had before analytics.  I think I was 15 when I came up with this idea.

    isn't this what your angels were trying to do in the draft? :lol:

    I really hate Darling.  He has taken over the Tim McCarver role for me.  Just says dumb, obvious stuff to fill air time and annoys me.  Also sounds too much like James Woods talking and it bothers me.  

    And now, I actually get nostalgic thinking about McCarver, and I think I was his biggest anti-fan.

    McCarver and Kiner were the BEST duo in all of announcing.  The more Kiner drank, the more McCarver would get annoyed, lol.  I brought them up because they announced Mets games when Darling played.  Darling became a Mets announcer whom I got used to listening to so I don't get the bias.

    Darling is up there with Joe Buck for me. Both drive me insane.

    I do like their counterparts---John Anderson & Smoltz. That would be a duo that wouldn't make me want to throw my tv in the fireplace.

    I really don’t get why people like darling and I feel like there are a lot of people that do. It’s just such obvious stuff “that all didn’t go where he wanted because he wasn’t looking”. Thanks, captain obvious

    I hated mccarver too 

    However, I like joe buck now and don’t get the hate. He has gotten so much better

    i also like Joe Buck.  Hearing his voice brings a pavlovian feeling of 'big game'.

    For me, it's because he repeats the same shit over and over and adds nothing to the game. On top of that, he clearly shows his bias.

    everybody thinks Buck is biased against their team…..no matter who “their” team is.

    that said, he’s a fucking douche.

    ESPN had a nice headline - LA Dodgers; the dynasty that never was.

    here's what those losers have done over the past nine years

    2013 - LOST nlds
    2014 - LOST nlds
    2015 - LOST nlds
    2016 - LOST nlcs
    2017 - LOST WS
    2018 - LOST WS
    2019 - LOST nlds
    2020 - won the mini, asterisk WS*. played only 60 games, so kershaw didn't hurt himself; played a ridiculous schedule where, for example, the played SF SEVEN times in LA and only three times in SF; won a neutral field WS against a team with 1/4 their payroll. total fraud "championship."
    2021 - LOST nlcs

    you'd think you could do more with a $267 million payroll.
