I was able to correctly acknowledge that Jose Altuve is not 6ft plus tall midway through the 1st inning. But for some reason the sportscasters feel the need to remind me in case I have the memory of a goldfish.
Yup. That's me. Season is now a success because the Yankees have been eliminated.
lol...Yankees and Dodgers are definitely two teams I cannot stand. Cards are probably close behind. I'm pretty thrilled with an Astros v Nats WS.
I don't understand the hatred of the Yankees. When they win, the league is better. MLB has a revenue-sharing agreement. Higher revenue teams like the Yankees essential pay lower-revenue teams. The Yankees pay more money in revenue sharing than compared to the Mets who play in the same city/market.
Now, the revenue sharing money is supposed to go towards improving the team's performance on the field but don't you see the problem? Lower revenue teams like the Marlins have no incentive to increase their revenue because they are on a permanent subsidy.
The Devil Rays need to move to Montreal.
The Athletics needs to move to Las Vegas or Portland.
We need a new system. Teams that contribute most to revenue sharing should get more tax breaks/incentives to spend more money.
Too many pitches already, especially the stressful breaking stuff. Nats play timid ball with Eaton.
Eaton is generally a fine bunter, who often bunts for a hit. Not a bad move against Cole.
The National League is the JV league. They stand almost zero chance against the Astros or Yankees.
Brian Dozier will be starting when the Nationals need a DH in the AL games. Dozier wouldn't even make the Yankees or Astros roster.
I am surprised by the current results but at the same time, not.
Verlander and Cole have already thrown more than 240 innings this season. The Astros are way too overly reliant on them both.
Bregman and Yordan Alvarez have 1 total hr between the two of them in the entire playoffs. Not good enough for your #4 and #5 hitter. Alvarez killed right-handed pitching in the regular season. He has been a non-factor in the playoffs. Correa is still very good, but not the same player he was in 2017.
If the Astros win game 3, they still have a shot. Lose, it's pretty much over.
I Believe in chemistry and the astros assistant gm mocking female reporters could have ruined the team chemistry.Tough JV league.
Before the start in a few minutes, I don’t see the Astros as a -230 favorite to win the WS, with the Nats a +190 underdog. I don’t see a team with all 12 of their pitchers being RH winning.
Max is a + 185 underdog. I don’t think so, but I’ve been wrong a lot. And over/unders of 3 and 6.5 in 5 and 9 innings in Houston’s Park? That’s way too low.
I Believe in chemistry and the astros assistant gm mocking female reporters could have ruined the team chemistry.
Update: the assistant gm was fired.
The astros assistant gm defending osuna for beating up women likely killed the team chemistry.
Terrible trade. The astros couldnt find a relief pitcher that didn't beat up a female?

The secret to the Nationals' enviable clubhouse chemistry: They really do like each other.
