2022 MLB Season

[bpo57]

This season pitching has dominated hitting. The Yanks had great pitching up to the All-Star break but then it went to mediocre.

I suspect not many here care about the WS matchup. The interesting thing being this is the classic pitching v hitting matchup. Harper missed over a third of the season. So, I am sure Philly would have enjoyed a bigger run scoring difference with Houston than it did. (10 runs on the season}

Houston in 5

Philly has two top of the line starters in Wheeler and Nola.

We've seen over the years two pitchers can carry a team in a seven game series which is why we're going to watch.

That's all they saw

That's the End

Spahn and Sain.
Then pray for rain

Lew Burdette beats the Yankees three times.

But I made my prediction and I'm sticking to it. Good luck with the Phils.

Anything can happen in a short series. The Dodgers were no where close to the A's back in '88 but they won. I think Houston is just too good, though.

Crap 2-0 Houston already. That layoff killed the Phillies' momentum.

But not Houston's?

Houston knows the drill. A month layoff wouldn't slow them down.

Brand new ball game

Astros have had some really garbage hits tonight.

Astros have had some really garbage hits tonight.

With the kind of pitching dominance that I saw all season, I'd say garbage won as many games, or more, than line drives.

I’ve been watching basketball, but have turned it to the baseball game 5 different times in the last hour and a half….it was on a commercial every single time. Haven’t seen one pitch.

 

[samspann1]

Strike zone for Astros’ pitchers is absurdly large

 

[OrangeDW]

Finally see some of the game and they’re already basically going to commercial before he even catches the ball to end the inning. Unbelievable.

 

[samspann1]

Altuve was out

 

[UpstateSM]

Can we stop having midget Rosenthal interview these dudes in the dugout right after big moments

 

[samspann1]

Big poke by JT!

Sadly, Robertson will close, which means the Astros will likely walk it off

Really, I hate that whole deal.

There was a big article in the Washington Post, yesterday, predicting a Phillies win in the Series. They compared them to the 1906 White Sox.

Ah, the 1906 White Stockings. I remember those blokes like it was yesterday

I watched probably 150 games this year and NEVER saw that called.
