2019 MLB Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Baseball • Page 789

Will always be a problem forever if fans are right against the fence. I think it was beyond the fence but unless they want to line the fence with a shit ton of cameras pointing straight up, who can say for sure on something like that.

 

Yeah, I’m not mad at the fans. This is the life the teams chose having them there. If they don’t like it, they can restructure their fields.

 

Price vs Verlander tonight

 

Last start Price didn’t get a loss, this is when he finally gets the win (or gets shelled).

 

It definitely looks like the fans are reaching over here. Dude in white’s gut is over the yellow and his arm is stretching out and over, and the other guys’ hands are on top of his.

 

i would like to fast forward through this discourse

 

I work at a clothing warehouse and someone ordered a Red Sox shirt during my shift today heh.

 

How about a Fangraphs article on it?

The Fan Interference Call Was Probably Good | FanGraphs Baseball

 

I've seen the replay tons of times and I still honestly don't know what the right answer is. I do think that Betts would have caught the ball if the fan's hand didn't hit his glove. I've seen angles where it looks like Mookie is over the wall and some what he's just at the wall. I just don't know.

Also I'm dead inside from last night's game. I don't think I can handle this.

I don't expect the Sox to win tonight, it's kind of unfair what they're asking from from Price. Hopefully he can pitch 3 or 4 innings and keep the game close and then pray Rodriguez, Hembree, Workman and maybe Barnes pitch lights out and steal this game. With Verlander on the mound and the Sox pitching staff on flumes right now it will be tough.

 

i'm exhausted and delirious at the same time.

 

It’s only 10:14 and I’m half asleep, can’t wait to do it all again tonight

 

I had to be out the door at 6am. Didn't fall asleep until 2am. Let's freaking do it all again tonight.

 

After sleeping 3 hours I feel eerily calm

Like it’s gonna be hard to win 3 straight but Verlander tonight, Cole next game gives me hope

This is a resilient team when faced with adversity. it almost feels like the Yankees series last postseason although this Red Sox team is better.

 

Yeah I'm still very nervous even being up 3 games to 1. I think this is almost a slam dunk that Houston wins tonight. Sale in Game 6 is a huge question mark due to his shoulder and his illness earlier in the week. If Houston can get it to a Game 7 all bets are off. I could absolutely see Houston coming back and winning this series.

 

my gut says the sox put it away tonight. dont know why

 

Crazy

 

Same. I still see this going 7 easily. Price and Sale are question marks, and Verlander is as automatic as it gets.

 

Mine does too but I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if they don’t.

 

Yup Price and Sale are question marks and call me crazy for being skeptical that Eovaldi could make three straight really good starts. It'd be Eovaldi if there's a game 7 right? Starting Porcello on 3 days rest sounds terrible to me although I'm sure he'd be out of the bullpen at some point

Astros are still in it as much as a team down 3-1 can be

 

I'm honestly expecting them to lose but really wouldn't be surprised either way because that's baseball.

Verlander is lights out and our pen is on flumes so we're going to have to rely on Price on 3 days rest and Rodriguez, Hembree and Workman trying to get at least 15 outs or so which is scary. But hey if they keep it close and get to the Astros pen early you never know.

 

Completely agree. Eovaldi has been great this post season but would still make me very nervous in a Game 7. On the flip side if Keuchel pitches to contact in Game 7 like he did in Game 3 Houston could be in just as much trouble. If you don't strike the Sox hitters out and let them put the ball in play it's not a good strategy.

 

This is the second time i've seen it. Isn't the saying "is running on fumes?" Not flumes?

 

they're running on an artificial waterway for transporting lumber

 

I still think beating the Sox offense three straight isn't happening

Especially if they keep making Bradley Jr look like Griffey Jr lol
