Running 2017 MLB postseason thread

Geez, Astros left a lot of critical runs stranded in scoring position. And now Verlander is out with a no decision. Ugh.

 

With that bullpen, I'd have let Verlander try to bunt the runner over and pitch another inning.

Edit: For the record, I posted that before Gattis grounded into a fielder's choice.

 

Springer HR and he's MVP

 

Bad moving lifting Verlander.

 

Yup, and it looks even worse now that Gattis didn't get the job done.

 

Great play by Turner/Bellinger to end the threat.

 

I hate Jocs.

 

Worth repeating.

 

I have no dog in this fight so I'm really rooting for a Game 7. This has been fun.

 

I generally lean toward let the athletes have some fun and who cares if a guy celebrates too much, but Joc was, well, a bit much on that one. If that was a game-tying or a go-ahead HR, fine, go crazy. An insurance run? Tone it down a bit there, sport.

 

Jansen for six outs? Not sure I like this move by Roberts.

 

He gave up the 2nd run. Houston has scored 1 run. Think he would've had a better chance of getting a hit than Gattis?
