    Brutal way for the Giants season to end. He clearly checked his swing. That being said, who knows if he would've been able to do anything against Max. Just brutal.

    I've always thought that the DS should be 7 games and wish this series would've gone 7 because it was so much fun to watch.

    So, Braves/Dodgers and Astros/Red Sox. What does everyone think? Here are my quick thoughts/picks..

    NLCS: Braves need to win one in LA. If they do, they could push it to 6 back in LA. (Dodgers in 5-6 games)
    ALCS: This series will be a slugfest and will go at least 6 games, I think. (Houston in 6-7 games)

    We posted about the stupidity of the check swing rule (it is about "intent to swing" and a judgement call on the Ump's part and not a matter of "crossing the plate" or "breaking his wrists") in this thread before....I hate these types of rules.  Agree that this should not have been called a strike.
    Tough way to end.
    Could have been a bad pitch and called a strike w/o the batter moving...that happens all of the time.  I guess it comes down to scoring more than 1 run if you want to win.
    What a series.

    I like your predictions....think they sound about where I would put it.
    Doyers in 5 / Houston in 6.


    I agree it was a bad call, but what’s wrong with the rule? I hate rules based on intent more because that’s 100% interpretation. I like that there’s a clear, defined rule on what is and isn’t a swing. Ump just got it wrong. And as long as umps are human, that’s going to happen.

    The rule is based on intent, what do you think the rule is?

    I always thought it was if the bat crossed the plate. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a check swing in TV where they didn’t show the birds eye view and talk about the bat crossing the plate. Sometimes they talk about the wrists too, but always the bat.
    But I just looked it up, and there’s no definition, it’s just “intent” as mentioned. That is dumb and I never realized that.

    I'm hoping for the same.

    Also hoping the Braves win another.

    The TV networks are hoping for the exact opposite WS.

    Passan sucks.

    The Eovaldi curve was a strike and he should have got that call.  I am always in favor of an expanding strike zone.  If it's close the pitcher should get it.

    Going by that chart if you are only going by On The Line pitches missed it's 7.  Calling balls and strikes is also much easier when you are watching it on a TV with a box around it which dies not consider where the ball crosses over the plate, not where it lands in a catchers mitt.

    Passan sucks, so hard.
    Agree - the Eovaldi curve is the one that is on the line?  On the line is where the ump can be expected to call some time and not others.  Only way to stop that is to get a machine.

    Also - Laz Diaz blows donkeys.  Not defending him, just hate me some Passan, with a passion.

    Yankee fans are now Astro fans, rooting for the team they believe cheated them out of a WS appearance.

    Machine is stupid.

    Hitters will have a huge advantage if they have a good batting eye.

    There is a beauty to the human error in baseball.  I embrace it even if it goes against my team.
