2020 ALCS: Good vs Evil

[AMS25]

Anderson is not sharp at all tonight.

Not sure why he's still in there.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Dude's gonna want to throw a strike sometime.

 

[Ale Xander]

Anderson needs a flashlight.

 

[Ale Xander]

tying run moves into scoring position

 

[LogansDad]

OMFG

 

[54thMA]

Not sure why he's still in there.

nothing going in the bullpen, it's do or die with Anderson.

 

[jon abbey]

Not sure why he's still in there.

They don’t have great options behind him, Alvarado hasn’t been in a real game in close to two months.

 

[staz]

Exhale.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Terrible bullpen management here. Dude has nothing.

 

[Ale Xander]

All 3 outs on the 1st pitch with the bases jacked. Astros deserve to lose

 

[S. H. Frog]

Woooooo. A long fly out ends it.

 

[canderson]

That was ... Kimbrel-level fear.

 

[AMS25]

Two down, two to go! Suck it Astros.

 

[LogansDad]

Breathing again.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

All 3 outs on the 1st pitch with the bases jacked. Astros deserve to lose

Facts.

 

[S. H. Frog]

That was ... Kimbrel-level fear.

That is pretty much right.

 

[Ale Xander]

Why can't the Red Sox get players like this escargot guy

 

[DeadlySplitter]

the Astros outplayed the Rays today, but that defense and some BABIP turned things around on them.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Couldn't watch today, but I'm guessing announcers mentioned that Margot was likely familiar with that wall from his Padres days?

 

[VORP Speed]

Glad I had to miss that 9th. But you take what you’re given.

 

[jon abbey]

Couldn't watch today, but I'm guessing announcers mentioned that Margot was likely familiar with that wall from his Padres days?

They did but he specifically said they were wrong in his interview after because he didn’t play RF for SD.

 

[jon abbey]

Big advantage for the Rays being a day ahead of the NL teams. A potential ALCS game 7 would be Saturday, a potential NLCS game 7 would be Sunday, WS starts Tuesday.

 

[E5 Yaz]

They did but he specifically said they were wrong in his interview after because he didn’t play RF for SD.

BRef says he played 16 games in RF, including 11 starts ... all on the road, maybe?

 

[jon abbey]

BRef says he played 16 games in RF, including 11 starts ... all on the road, maybe?

Yeah, I didn't fact check it, but that is what he said, and he played kind of badly in RF in the ALDS in Petco against NY.

 

[jon abbey]

BRef says he played 16 games in RF, including 11 starts ... all on the road, maybe?

I think you are looking at 2020 numbers here, when he was on TB already. He only played RF once for SD, back in 2016, but only CF from 2017-2019.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

8:40 start tonight is a killer

 

[canderson]

8:40 start tonight is a killer

It really is.

Roof is open tonight, though.

 

[InsideTheParker]

8:40 start tonight is a killer

Yeah, I'm going to have to record it. Trouble is, whenever I wake up I'm going to have to check the score, so I may not bother to watch the recording. Too bad I don't have a DVR in the bedroom. I want the Rays to win almost as much as if they were the Red Sox.

 

[VORP Speed]

8:40 is ridiculous.

Yarbrough vs Urquidy

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Yeah, I'm going to have to record it. Trouble is, whenever I wake up I'm going to have to check the score, so I may not bother to watch the recording. Too bad I don't have a DVR in the bedroom. I want the Rays to win almost as much as if they were the Red Sox.

Wow, that's a strong sentiment. I want the Rays to win and am enjoying them quite a bit. However, if the lose, I'll move on in about 30 seconds.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Wow, that's a strong sentiment. I want the Rays to win and am enjoying them quite a bit. However, if the lose, I'll move on in about 30 seconds.

I have the zeal of the recent convert. All in on the roster construction and pitcher development. Smarts beat big bucks? Stay tuned.

 

[VORP Speed]

ITP has been registered in the scrolls. Fan #17!

 

[VORP Speed]

 

[Ale Xander]

Good start

 

[Ale Xander]

Well that's why Margot plays the corners

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Tampa about to get into the well rested Stros pen

 

[canderson]

Houston out of a bases loaded jam. Big out.

 

[mauidano]

This is going to be the Astros night isn 't it? Don't think anyone thought they would be swept.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Arozarena needs help tonight

 

[AMS25]

Great catch

 

[Ale Xander]

KK making grabs and taking names

 

[mauidano]

Kiermaier is a fabulous CF but JBJ does that just to stay in shape.

 

[Ale Xander]

Altuve is in full Knoblauch mode

 

[VORP Speed]

Astros deserve the yips

 

[54thMA]

Altuve is in full Knoblauch mode

yeah that was brutal, he short armed it.

So to speak.

 

[Ale Xander]

Tomorrow's pregame show should be great, with it being 3-0 in the ALCS

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Since every Rays game ends 2-1, this bodes well for Tampa.

 

[Ale Xander]

How is that not batter interference?

 

[patinorange]

Too soon Ron. Too soon.

 

[AMS25]

This is going to be the Astros night isn 't it? Don't think anyone thought they would be swept.

Not necessarily.
