2020 ALCS: Good vs Evil

[Al Zarilla]

I’m

Rays skate away in the first.

Stros fall down a manhole in the bottom of the first.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Gurriel deserves the error. Should be changed.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

whoops, that super costly error the Astros got from the A's just flipped.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Margot? I did not see that coming.

Hot day for San Diego, ball carrying well.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Pitching & Defense, again.
Very nice catch of line drive by Adames.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Gurriel deserves the error. Should be changed.

Announcer said they changed it from Gurriel to Altuve.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Fucking sweet catch. Was that Margot? Dude its making it happen today.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I am screaming my head off at the Margot catch¡!!!!!!!!!

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Holy shit what a play by Margot!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Margosh.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Either that wall needs to be taller or that well needs to be less deep.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Astros seeing a lot of pitches. Lots of full counts these last two days.

With no off days and with the Rays' high-wire act depending to a significant extent on their relievers staying sharp and fresh, the Astros are putting money in the bank that they may have a chance to withdraw if they can figure out a way to make this a longer series.

 

[VORP Speed]

 

[S. H. Frog]

Dude. The Astros have got to work on that, and the ALCS is probably not the time. Another error out of the shifted infielder to first base transfer.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Altuve have the yips?

 

[LogansDad]

Altuve going full Knoblauch.

And Arozarena is a beast.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh man, I thought Margot crushed that one for a second.

The Astros’ bullpen is not good, they have gotten this far in part because they’ve ended series quickly. The longer the series goes, the more TB should be favored in each game IMO.

 

[jon abbey]

Manny being Manny.

 

[S. H. Frog]

The Rays are having to work to keep hanging zeroes on the Astros.

 

[LogansDad]

Morton is a magician. No idea how he's gotten through this with no runs allowed.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Rays getting some play out of the left side of their infield. Nice 5-3.

 

[LogansDad]

WOOOOOOOW

 

[VORP Speed]

All around baseball

 

[canderson]

The Rays defense is pretty special.

 

[Ale Xander]

CC goes long.

 

[InsideTheParker]

McCullers is pitching very well. Too bad for him he isn't backed up by the Rays defense.

 

[S. H. Frog]

McCullers is pitching very well. Too bad for him he isn't backed up by the Rays defense.

You're right. That error in the first is the difference.

 

[VORP Speed]

McCullers is a hometown boy. Product of Tampa Jesuit.

 

[loshjott]

I turned on the game about 20 min ago and haven’t seen a ball in play yet.

EDIT: well, does a HR count?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Zoomnino!

 

[S. H. Frog]

Boy. Zunino turned that one around. 4-1 Rays, bottom 7.

 

[AMS25]

Loup again?

 

[Ale Xander]

Eye chart-esque grab by Choi

[Ale Xander]

Scrubb is in for the Astros

 

[Ale Xander]

Choi's adductors are getting a workout

 

[AMS25]

Not a promising beginning to the 9th.

 

[S. H. Frog]

The Astros are going to make it interesting here in the ninth. Tying run comes to the plate with nobody out.

 

[jon abbey]

Who is behind Anderson? Alvarado?

 

[staz]

This is getting interesting.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Loaded up. It's getting real in San Diego.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Well, this isn’t ideal.

 

[Ale Xander]

Oh wow. That destroys the Astros.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Just what the doctor ordered!

 

[S. H. Frog]

6-3 GIDP and a run in. Tensions deescalate considerably.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Altuve looks mortal without the buzzer on his chest.

 

[54thMA]

6-3 GIDP and a run in. Tensions deescalate considerably.

A one hop rocket hit right into the shift; buzzards luck once again.

 

[Ale Xander]

Can't believe Springer swung at the first pitch, but that's what the Astros do sometimes.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Anderson is not sharp at all tonight.
