    Yeah, Bregman was telling Springer early in the first. It was obvious. It's not cheating though.

    Astros repped so well tonight.

    They didn't just win, they blastroff'd.



    H-Town, stand up.

    3rd consecutive ALCS

    I will give J.P. credit. He asks better questions than most post-game interviewers.

    Cracking up at the camera focusing on Kate and the wives.

    No they are not. Pitchers tipping pitches and hitters taking advantage is not cheating. We rocked Darvish like that twice in 2017.

    Mercifully this will be the last year of 1 out pitchers.

    Watching the Rays go into their 4 corners offense was insufferable.

    The last time hou played the yankees in 17 started 2 wins. 3 straight losses

    its going to be interesting how the rotation schedule of grienke, verlander, cole works out for the first 3

    If Kate and Amy become BFF this fall, maybe she can put an ear into Gerrit to stay in Houston.

    Anyone else actually really like the way the pitching rotation lines up in the ALCS? The Astros are going to be hyped for Game 1, and I'd much prefer Greinke to pitch in Houston than on the road. Verlander can regain some confidence at home. And then you've got the red hot Cole potentially to steal one in New York. Then if the series goes to 7, you have Cole lined up to pitch in the last game.

    Much respect to Tampa. That's a really good team.

    How is it cheating if you know which pitch is coming?

    Cole going in Game 3 is a blessing in disguise. 1. Greinke gets to pitch Game 1 in the comfort of his home stadium, 2. Cole gets to pitch in Yankee stadium where we will likely need a dominant pitching performance, 3. We got Cole going in a potential Game 7.

    Wtf is that? It’s part of the game. Sure the rays have done the same vs Verlander. Bet.
