Wiggins with a first quarter assists DRINK!
Loud out by Turner.
I thought Thibs was supposed to be a defensive coach? Not much defense on display tonight.
Switching to baseball. That quarter was not entertaining.
Thoughts on KLAC: Charley Steiner & Rick Monday seem to have a good rapport with voices well suited to radio. It's been a long time since I've heard a commercial for Morongo Casino. Apparently everyone in LALADodgerland drives a Mercedes.
dinger!
Gattis should have gotten to third. He shouldn't have been tagging up at first.
Didn't matter! Party time in Houston.
Watching him chugging around third it's easy to see why he wasn't there originally.
Which is why I don't understand him thinking about tagging at first base. He should have been 1 step off of second base and then he could have easily gone to third.
I'm surprised Darvish is still in this game.
Darvish has nothing.
| | close to being 6-0.
The second isn't even over and only three Astros are without a hit.
Astros have 4 runs and are probably disappointed it's only 4 runs. They've left 3 men in scoring position.
Of course they'd probably prefer seven runs instead of "only" four, but that's still four runs more than their opponent.
Still, if there's any game you'd want to get to the bullpen early it's the first of a three game set.
Yep. And Darvish will likely be available again for a potential Game Six start, but would they want to use him?
Based on his previous 2 postseason starts, definitely, unless he's injured.
Looks like the pitching coach didn't mince words with McCullers. Don't blame him. Just got 4 runs and now he can't throw strikes.
That was an impressive DP.
FOX had a graphic:In his postseason career, Turner is 14-20 (.700) is RISP situations
holy cows
now 14-21 (.667)
Sure didn't look confident in that at-bat. Helped McCullers out when he's been struggling to throw strikes.
Wow. What a double play! Dodgers are really trying to help McCullers out.
If McCullers gets the win in this game, that DP could be a major turning point in this series because he probably had a pretty short leash in that inning.
I noticed Altuve wears the eye black strips. You dont see that (or the eye black paint) as much these days.
Lot more night games.
That makes sense!
Jimmy Butler running on fumes because of a cold is better than 75% of the players in the league.
Ump/someone need to move the bat on plays like that.
Yeah, I felt like the batter stayed way too close to the plate as well.
WTF, Teague?
This is going to be a reoccurring theme this year.
Neither. There were approximately 7,323 lead changes. And that was just from when I started watching in the third quarter.
I only saw the last few minutes when Butler pretty much single-handedly willed the team to win, despite Teague deciding to dribble into the backcourt out of a timeout with a 4-point lead and 30 seconds left.
He must have thought that he was holding a shiv.
Newbish was crying in bed, which was weird, so we brought him out to calm him down a bit, and he got to see a little bit of the baseball game.
He loved it. Numbers everywhere! People running! A ball is involved!
He got frustrated when commercials would come on, then went the game came on, he'd squeal "baseball!"
My heart has grown three sizes.
Awesome. This is the best.
Thats awesome!
McCann suh-hucks. Should have blocked that pitch through the wickets in the sixth. Cost a run because he didn't. Not like he got crossed up either.
We got the rare double head slide into first base.
One of them was even appropriate!
It was the runner, right?
What's with all the Joshua Tree stuff in the bumper music this series?
Seriously. After about the fourth commercial bumper, I had to go to Wikipedia to see if the Edge had died or something.
Anniversary of the album release, and tour right?
Woah, that was close.
Can o' corn in the book.
Also, is bud light trying to make dilly dilly a thing? I’m not participating.
dilly dilly!
Where’s the oh you button?
That ad is bad
but still rather hear it than the Sweet Caroline car ad.
The dilly dilly has to win an award for worst commercial of the year. Just plain dumb. Not funny dumb. Just dumb. I turn the channel in protest whenever I see it.
In the postseason, it's not what have you done for me lately, it's what have you done this last at-bat.
Bizarre that AJ does not go to his closer.
That's a move (or lack thereof) that if it doesn't work leads to a lot of scrutiny. I don't like it when teams get away with what worked so well for them during the season in the playoffs because of one or two poor showings.
Whelp, that was a baseball game.
Mmhmm... We get at the very most four more until April.
I’m happy for the stros, but I’d prefer this thing go 7 games as the winter is long and full of terrors.
What is going on with the Warriors? Slooow start.
What the hell is Steve Kerr wearing? Leather jacket and Hawaiian shirt? What kind of weird homage is that?
Ah. Al Attles tribute.
The 1970s were dark times for fashion.
You Californians and your quaint concern for "fashion"
