So I guess the Astros were more like the Cubs than they realized

Astros maybe should go easier on their starters during the regular season next year. Houston had 3 of their starters in the top 10 in IP during the regular season; and were the only team to have used only 5 starters/the same 5 starters through the all-star break, iirc.

I'll never miss a chance to rip on Joe West, but from where he was I totally understand his initial call. It went to the replay officials. From there it was clear, no dispute a HR. What I find infuriating, is they spent a very good amount of time reviewing the call. TV replayed it over and over....clearly a HR....more time.

Decision comes in and the replay officials get the call wrong. WTF is the point with wasting time on replay if you can't get a basic HR call right. Congrats to MLB....turning into the NFL year by year.

There's less outrage because it would have been a catch. A fan did the home team a favor and it it didn't work out. Overcome it. Give up less runs for example.

I have no horse in this race....agree the Astros should try giving up less runs. But....Clearly we saw different replay footage. No one pushed his glove away. Betts missed the damn ball. It was a HR.

The Brewers are wearing out the opposite field. This is refreshing to watch.

Cub fans - are you rooting for Mark Prior to go to the WS w/ the Dodgers? or who cares.

Just read up on the Astros. I guess Bregman posted a video of him going deep on one of the Red Sox pitchers. What a fool! And the manager looked shell shocked in the post game interview.

I think these guys were just so arrogant and too cocky to think they would lose. Some of them like Bregman went too 'Hollywood'.

Impressed w/ the Red Sox. They really earned that series and they kicked the best team in baseball's ass.

I guess if the Red Sox win it all i won't be too mad. Looks like they have a helluva team and would deserve it.

Rooting for a game 7 in the NL.

He's a pretty good manager. He also usually never lets these guys see the lineup for a 3rd time. Time to take some of the hard throwing pen deep.

as someone said he seemed like a real douchebag but he proved he is a douchebag this series.

i'm pretty sure he's already made up his mind he's going to the Yankees next year.

As for the Dodgers, from a public relations perspective, they probably would like clean cut Corey Seger back next year than dickhead Machado.

Machado can't handle LA....he will die with the Yankees. He is the kind of guy that Artie Moreno will dump a pile of cash at on day one of free agency.

Really bad loss for the Dodgers if they can't even burn off Hader in the loss.

And we are tied!

Game 7

Hader not used.

Fox guys making a big deal about it which it sort of is. Brewers got to get the lead in game 7 first to make it matter.

They will use him for 3 innings regardless of a lead. It's game 7, They don't have shit to save him for.

Yeah.. I like it, could be a nice combo of Woodruff too for an inning. 3 innings for Hader. Lets go Milwaukee.. You can do this.
