The Caps also have die hard fans who at some point in time had an intervention orchestrated for them. As a result they stopped following the caps and lived a healthier more sane life for years as a result. In 2018 they fell off the wagon (at least for a day or two).and claimed to be Caps fans.

It was the home is vastly overrated series!

Feeding frenzy!

The baby sharks smell blood in the water.

Why was Chirinos hanging out behind the plate?Do they have big on deck circles in Houston?

I would just walk him.

Not enough data points for the algorithm to give instructions.

Sotomania!

Gomes almost crushed that.

Adios pelota!!

I know it all too well.

I love rye! What do you suggest? Not that I can get it out here in the boonys of Oregon. But I come back home now and again.

It’s a great game. The Astros hitters are tenacious. They are whacking pretty good stuff. .

I am somehow managing to hold the bourbon in reserve for a nightcap. I have an 8 AM meeting tomorrow.

I am on beer two ?

In a small subset of circumstances, and mostly in eras when #8 dudes weren’t regularly launch angleing good pitches out of the park.

LOL. Bunting is an idea that won’t die.

Average sliders aren’t what they used to be.

Scherzer’s arm looked good for one inning at least. Whatever anti-inflammatories he is on also don’t seem to have altered his energy drink demeanor.

The last game of the season. Boo. In mourning, I have already had a beer...too quickly.

This was the second instance that I saw this year (in a MLB game) where the umpire called the batter out simply for being out of the runners lane when there was no actual interference. A memo should be sent around.

I’m amazed they are as “good” as they are. It’s not an easy task....although perhaps easier than trying to hit the ball! I suspect the TV box lines are just arbitrary and have no relation to the actual error. I’m just curious what it actually is. Has it been published anywhere?

A question I have about the box...and the robo Ump system in general....is what is the measurement error? Is the thickness of the box lines supposed to represent the error? What is the significance level for determining a strike? Is some of the error related to systematic park effects? Weather effects?

I don’t like it just from an aesthetic point of view. I want to watch the game, not an augmented reality. There is plenty of time while the pitcher and batter center themselves in preparation for the next pitch to show me any iffy calls with the box assist.
