Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Correa really misses the buzzers and trash can banging.

Correa could probably kick Joe Kelly's ass, but he'd also probably break three bones in the process of doing it.

During the game last night they flashed the Astros 2017 WS hitting stats home vs. away splits. It was crazy.
Of course the Dodgers lost game 7 at home. :roll:

The incident last night was not a surprise.

MLB is a joke. Kelly, who actually didn't hit anyone, is suspended before any Astro is disciplined for cheating to a World Series ring.

We knew MLB was a joke when they refused to discipline any players and then gave out warnings against the players taking doling out punishment into their own hands.

This is just an escalation of their clown behavior.

What should the penalty be for throwing 95 MPH near a guys head? Keep in mind there's a precedence set for throwing near a guys head already and it's 8 games.

If you watch the whole inning, Kelly had no control over his fastball. He was all over the place. The implication is that he was trying to hit people in the head which I highly doubt is true.

2 games for the taunt at most. 0 games for not hitting anyone.

And since those guys on the Asterisks should be suspended and not playing this year, defer those two games until next year.

Jose Altuve struck out on a called third strike, and SportsNet LA play-by-play announcer Joe Davis speculated that he was “perhaps guessing something else.” Analyst Orel Hershiser then commented “Guessing’s harder than knowing.”

Correa is actually hitting decently. .323 Someone check him for a buzzer.

But uh....

Josh Reddick .241
Jose Altuve .176
Alex Bregman .176
George Springer .167

Where's a trash can when you need one?

Well Correa is just waiting to get hurt. He can never play a full year, even if it’s only 60 games

By the way, wasn't the roof open for both teams? Or were they constantly opening and closing it to give the DBacks an advantage? ;) :lol:

They certainly have the motivation to prove people wrong and I think that is what we are seeing. While not a fan of either club, a Dodger Astro World Series would be interesting

Well, Correa, Springer, and Bregman haven’t hit for shit, and Altuve keeps throwing the ball all over the place. Which is nice to see.

We aren’t out of the woods yet, but a 2020 Asterisks championship is looking extremely unlikely.
