    It’s a cool story, though getting Judge out in a pressure situation isn’t exactly newsworthy

    All of these things are correct.

    This is also correct.

    Lol, you’re the only one posting here who was at that game, so you’ll need to fill us in…

    I will say the environment for all these games has been electric enough to forget that they “don’t count”… which is why they’ll still happen another 20+ years from now.

    Been to a few so far, definitely has better atmosphere than you'd expect. I'm looking forward to going Monday as US/Mexico should be amazing.

    But I absolutely don't want our stars participating if it's this close to season. 3/4 places are domed/refractable. Play this in late November so minor injuries are not a problem.

    Wish I was in Houston to see that. Can't see how it's not a fun time.

    As much as I like Paredes... Duran does look at home in a cowboy hat :)

    Playoff atmosphere without the health problems of Astros playoff baseball.

    Duran certainly looked at home.
