However, they are good. And I like them more than I like the Yankees, so let's go 'Stros!

Don’t be a hater.

Go, Yankees!!!

Sick challenge Joe! He's out as fuck! Way to finally challenge a call you cunt!!!

Maybe this had already been discussed, but why in the ever loving fuck do they have to do the strike zone overlay on fs1!? ESPN tried that shit years ago and no one fucking liked it. It makes every at-bat unwatchable. Save it for the replays, asshats. Fuck.

If the game is unwatchable because of that tiny fake tv thing, you may be a lunatic

What’d I do exactly?

[edit] as a former new yorker who played softball in Central Park with Puerto Rican friends, I’m actually cheering for the yankees

I didn't say the game was unwatchable, just every fucking pitch.

I kind of agree. It's something that's annoying, but shouldn't be...

But BL and Altuve are killing it tonight.

Bird with a HR!

**::: :::** · 10-13-2017, 09:30 PM

Dang, Astros pitching too much for NY this game

**ex-powderbroker** · 10-13-2017, 09:46 PM

Great game, what a throw from left and altuve is on fire. Tomorrow’s game is a big one. I have lots of respect for all the teams the yanks have seen, hopefully they can squeeze out some more wins.

That's a reportable offense right there.

Bird took to long to get up to speed (IMO). Can anyone reach home plate with out a bounce anymore?

It’s usually faster to one-hop it to the plate, and it’s easier to give the catcher a nice bounce to catch. Some guys can get it all the way to the plate **cough** JBJ **cough** but most guys just airmail it or thrown a moon ball.

Didn’t see this play in particular though so maybe you’re talking about something else?

**plugboots** · 10-14-2017, 10:33 AM

Jeez, I was taught to one hop it all through little league and high school.

**Supermoon** · 10-14-2017, 10:40 AM

Right? Me too

**Supermoon** · 10-14-2017, 11:04 AM

Also, I fucking love Jon Lester.

**Toss the Bat** · 10-14-2017, 11:09 AM

It's not the right move in the pros and they generally don't try for it. Maybe if the cut-off is out of position which is rare. If it's headed for the ground the cut-off guy will take it.

**plugboots** · 10-14-2017, 11:48 AM

^^^ Maybe, but I don’t think so. If it’s no-hopped it’s too high for the cutoff man, so a lot of situational circumstances come into effect. Who’s throwing, cut off or not, etc. check this out, lots of one hops.
