Lets go pirates!!!

[G-Snarls]

Arrieta is such a machine

 

A sneaky, strike-throwing, no-home-run-giving machine

[G-Snarls]

This has a chance to be the best game in recent history.

 

Agreed

 

So, naturally, it will probably be a sloppy 12-3 blowout or something

[G-Snarls]

Also, Arrieta has OWNED the Pirates all year

The Pirates faced Arrieta five times this season and won only one of those games. They struck out more often than they got on base against him.

Two best young cores in the game IMO. Hopefully Houston is allowed to spend enough money to keep their together and supplement it.

The TNT basketball guy does baseball?

You know what, I could be wrong but I THINK he was on the radio last season and said his girlfriend (maybe wife?) is from Montreal.

[Jonn]

Ernie Johnson yes.

[dineke]

Ernie Johnson yes.

 

Does he know anything about baseball or did Turner not have any money to hire a real baseball announcer?

[Jonn]

Hes done the last couple of playoffs. Hes kind of iconic in that company so they probably asked him and didn't consider anyone else.

Astros will definitely need to add a little experience, but if they spend correctly it wont be that expensive. they should have the budget after spending nothing the past couple of years.

[CJ-Freeway]

[Jonn]
