Good deal as long as you are always going to get season tickets...if not they could always be sold.

What the hell just happened. Bases loaded, 2 outs, wild pitch (possibly foul tipped), ump doesn't call it a foul, catcher doesn't move, 3 runs cross home plate and everyone looks at each other. Then they send Ramirez back to 2nd, but allow two runs to score? How did someone call timeout on a live ball? This whole situation was absurd.

Bizarre. Hinch was not happy...to say the least.

Either way, it's 4 2 out runs for the Tribe. Big RBI knocks by Kip and Lindor. 4-1 Tribe.

I want to see StatCast on that Napoli foul ball that might still be going. It looked like a 500 footer

Tribe up 6-2 in the fourth. Hope Bauer can get us 7 innings.

Go Tribe.

TBone is talking about this...where Allen isn't allowed a bad inning (despite pitching to the entire lineup before Tito pulled him, but Miller is still a beast after 2 bad outings.

Thanks for clarifying.

Astros have cut the lead to 10-7. Playing for their lives, they are battling. Bottom of the 7th. Miller came in to clean up Garner's mess to get out of the 7th. I suspect he'll be back out for the 8th.

lol, you had nothing better to do than post this? I knew what TBone was saying, and I think as fan(atic)s of the same team, we can banter back and forth about said team...again, dad, is this okay with you?

It was on one page in the Twins thread. Took me 2 minutes.

And nd we can banter, but also be expected to be called out when you praise a guy for saving another guy, then defend him when said other guy has to save his ass. Miller is a beast, but so is Allen. You were being dramatic when he had a bad second inning versus Minnesota.

It would probably be boring if we all had the same "hot takes" and all agreed with each other.

I can safely say that vball and I both love the Tribe but have vastly different approaches to rooting for them. Vball accepts nothing less than perfection and expects to win nightly. I tend look at the big picture and realize the best team to every play this game in the modern era still lost 46 times and it's impossible to "be hot" for 6 straight months.

In the meantime, Miller and Shaw combine for a tidy 8th and we still lead.

thanks for clarifying, dad, but Allen has actually had multiple bad innings and blown saves...he's good, but not a beast

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to vball10set again.

Solid win today. 6 games up since Detroit doesn't play today. 23 games left, all against the division. 1 off day. 14 away games, 9 home games. 3 vs. Minny, 7 vs. CWS, 7 vs. Det, and 6 vs. KC. Should be a heck of a finish.

Just saw the replay. Astros got fucked hard there.
