Cue Charlie Daniels: The cheaters went down to Georgia, they were looking for a game to steal… Fire on the mountain, bat pitchers bat!

I hate Atlanta. I hate Houston more. I’m rooting for a team I hate…well, for a fan base I hate, really.
Yep definitely need to ignore the chop and annoying chant. But even with that I’m still rooting hard for them to beat the cheaters.
Need the Thunder Sticks back like we did for 2002.
Settle for Terrible Towels too Thanks for those Steel City ( Pittsburgh Steelers and Willy Stargell Pirates 43 yrs ago ).
The thunder sticks were annoying.
Atlanta just kept coming through in the pinch tonight. Amazing game.
Nice win!
Huge late run.
That looked catchable. Was hoping the asterisks would get no hit.
Swanson’s presence cost the no hitter
Bregman is tough. That looked really painful.
As soon as he would play for the Angels that would be a 4 month stint on the IL.
Not until after 3 weeks of “its only a flesh wound” reporting
I haven’t paid that much attention but I just noticed that some of our least favorite umpires aren’t working this series.
No I don’t hate the Astros because they cheated. I hate the Astros because of Yuli Gurriels blatant racism. Because they traded for Osuna like it was discount day. Then their executive joked about it to a bunch of female reporters. Because Bregman carried the bat to first. Because Marisnick tried to end Lucroys career. Because of that fake tattoo bull crap with Altuve. Because of the hypocrisy of Verlander and the arrogance of Correa. They’re just the least likeable group of guys ever assembled.
You must not be old enough to remember the 1986 NY Mets.
One of the players allegedly killed a cat. A bunch of coke heads.
Thats why they need you to turn that Franchise around.
Where do the Astros get off with all these unheralded guys playing out of there mind? Back when the cardinals got in trouble for peeking at there scouting system I scoffed like “why? That franchise is terrible” and then they go and become the gold standard (not for morality).
Will Ohtani be the only pitcher who hits next year?
Depends on whether your talking batting or hitting the batter
I think he’ll be the only pitcher who hits. I think both leagues will use the DH.
Yep. That’s what I’m referring to. I agree.
Don’t be surprised that MLB adopts the universal DH, that rosters expand to 27 and MLB will require each team to pull their DH once the starting pitching is pulled from the game.
That last point would be interesting, but I am not sure they will go there. I think it just becomes an AL style DH, with only Ohtani breaking the mold.
Someone on 3rd needs to steal home if he stays in the wind up. Could almost get there standing up.
There is way too much time between Garcia’s pitches! If he stays in the game for 6 innings, this will be a 4-hour game no problem.
Win this one for Hammerin’ Hank.
Let’s do it for Hank! F-the Astros!
