When we getting the robo umps?? drymounting ridiculous how bad they have been. And end the goddamn ingame interviews for christ sakes
those in-game interviews arent even done in-game They're done in between innings and then shown during the next inning.

Ron Darling is a tool

I am aware but it's done between first pitch and final out. It's a distraction. Not as bad as when they try and talk to the players during games but let them do their thing. And yeah I hate darling. Listening to him and Hernandez be Mets homers for so long is excruciating

I turned it off after that drymounting feeble strike 3 call on Trea Turner. That ball wasn’t drymounting close.
Absolutely no reason to guess balls and strikes anymore. Wrong calls with the damn imposed strike zone right there for the entire world to see are infuriating. Too much at stake.
I’ve been slowly abandoning the game because of it.
It’s just too ridiculous, and makes the sport seem ignorant, like the dumb ass wrestlers with costumes and make up.


Yup. AZ is done.
Yup. Ron Darling is a tool.
Yup. In game interviews are stupid.
Thankfully Tim McCarver is gone at least.

I almost felt bad bringing him up.
Probably the worst announcer of all time.
My vote. Makes joe buck seem like Vin Skully.

Game 7 in Texas.
God I hope The Rump Rangers can pull it off, F the Trashtros.
Has the away team won every game?
Has that ever happened in 6 or 7 games in the playoffs?
Odd…

Hoping for:
Philly vs Dallas.
Watching Houston Texans go home miserable tomorrow.
Maybe Ted Cruz taking a wicked liner off his dome.
Philly in 6.
Watching Dallas fans go home miserable in two weeks.

We’ve got a resident ebeaner really into The Phillies.
Would be cool to see them bring it home.

It's happened at least once before, also to Houston - 2019 World Series (Nationals / Astros) the road team won every game.

Let's go Rangers!

In the one hand i would love revenge against the 'stros especially with phils having homefield against them. On the other hand I wouldn't be able to get down to Philly until game 6 or 7 (my eldest was born to be a phillies phan during the 08 snow delay so this wknd is out) . Of course a rangers series has Halloween to navigate around. 5 hr drive each way on Monday and Wednesday. ...sure why not. Feel like we can beat both with relative ease

USA Today had a big write up on why to bet big on Houston and the under yesterday.
Even went as far to say Asterisks by 2 is a winner. :D

Seems against the odds that the away team wins again, but hopefully.
The 2019 playoffs, yeah I guess I do vaguely remember the road teams doing well.
Kind of crazy.. fans spend crazy amounts of cash for heavy disappointment.
Playoff prices are insane. Especially if you’re buying tickets second market.
Double ouch. :x

That pitch to Longoria was crazy centered.

Have to yank Nola, before this game is out of reach.
You don’t want it going 7.
Man..

That was a whooping... Nola + day starts always a problem. Phils were very flat. Not much more to say.

every at bat it seemed the Phillies were trying to swing to tie it up. No small ball, no baseball basics. Just swing as hard as you can

They better learn quick or game 7 isn't going to end well.

It’s a trip how Trea Turner looks like one of the greatest hitters to step into the box…
Unless it’s the playoffs.
He shat the bed in LA, literally anyone else would have done no worse post season for The Dodgers at short.
Contending teams should sit him until mid May or something.
He’s lost.

I Might have underestimated AZ!
But I think Philly will win tomorrow by 4 -5 runs.
Just a hunch… they are so powerful, feels like it’s their time similar to TX, and AZ’s surprising season has got to end right?
Two game 7’s… cool.
NL has a slight disadvantage, with one day less on the rest aspect, but I’m sure no one cares.

Bye cheaters.
