Game Thread: ALDS Game 1

[Juliooooo]

That was ball 4. Has been pretty good all night, but that was a bad call.

Announcer just said he isn't giving calls outside of that box. Do people actually think the umps can somehow see the box we see on TV???

Fucking cheaters get a bogus call. Fuck u ump.

[Vogelbomb]

Looked like it was just off. Ump might've had it clipping the black.

Yes, inside and outside never changes. He blew that one for sure.

Yeah not going to fault him for that but was a ball.

Moldanado and the Stros pitchers are constantly faking like they throw balls for strikes. Influences the umpire.

Can’t wait until robo umps so their dramatics don’t matter.

Scott had no fucking guts to stand up for his players. Softest coach In the game

[D-train]

So should Julio check the single or HR box on his quest for a cycle here?

Not a bad idea by Servais, just let Gilbert go until they get a baserunner

This has to be the plan and makes sense. 21 batters faced, 78 pitches. If he can get through the next inning with no damage that’s job done.

Vogelbombs right now that he made it through the top 3, might as well give him at least a chance to get through the next inning or two

Might depend on how many pitches he takes to get through 4-5-6. Will be in the 90s by the end of the next inning. Gurriel is batting 6th and is 2-2 with a HR and a hit off his slider already. Don’t want to face him with a base runner.
