NolaAuTiger 3,295 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I cannot remember the last time a World Series was this volatile in regards to a team's momentum per game. Lots of athletes on both sides. Almost no lead seems to qualify as "safe." Very entertaining. Don't know that two teams, in modern history, of this caliber have met in World Series.

How many 3 run leads have been blown so far? I just knew the Astros were about to win the last game with ease when they went up 11-8, and then I wake up to finding out they won on a walkoff in extra-innings.

Same here....living in the Eastern time zone....those long games get to me...made it past midnight one game and caved a bit past 11:30 when it looked like the Astros had blown it. I'll be there all the way tonight and hope that's it for the series..... though I would wake at 3AM to watch Verlander pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s hilarious. ? Just got back from a trunk and treat and then a trick or treat. Pretty sure the rich neighborhoods have a clause in their contract where there has to be a Halloween party available to show off the loud speakers, the back yard 60 inch TVs and plenty of candy and Halloween decor for the kids.

Ours was a neighborhood thing...small church in a very small town and kids from all over coming by in some really cute outfits. Had a great time.... Meanwhile the Astros jump off to a 1-0 lead with a Springer HR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altuve, Bregman, and Springer all seem to be budding stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Meanwhile, my biggest takeaway from the playoffs and WS is that two young power hitters were exposed....badly. Judge and Bellenger.....found out that they could not hit the sharp breaking curves.....especially if thrown by Verlander. Those two guys racked up an unbelievable number of Ks during the post season. Both guys have great futures but both need some serious help with pitch selection and some pitches they are going to see a lot of next season.

Yeah. It's a mixed bag when it comes to the Texans since Houston went several years without a pro team when the Oilers bolted for Tennessee I honestly am a Cowboys fan being from Fort Worth and my dad has been a Cowboys fan since the 60's. Their season is probably toast as well. I was always a Rangers fan and the Astros were my second favorite team since they were from TX. When the Rangers management ran Nolan Ryan off and he became a "consultant" for the Astros I really started following more especially since we moved down here several years ago. Funny thing is, the Rangers went downhill and Nolan along with his son who is the the Astros front office helped lay the groundwork for building the farm system just like he did with the Rangers about ten years ago. Astros owe the Rangers........for trading Darvish to the Dodgers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to Al Del Greco’s radio show this morning and they were saying the batters caught onto Darvish tipping his pitches again. And that’s been a problem of his for awhile.

I told coworkers for game three that Darvish is prone to having a bad start....and usually if he is off he won't even make it out of the first inning. I'd seen it many times with the Rangers. Thankfully Bad Darvish showed up twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
