ALCS GDT: Houston A*tros vs Tampa Bay Rays

[Spanky99]

Kiermaier... doing his thing.

[Spanky99]

This guy's straight fire right now, crazy hot. Liberatore better be good or that trade might end up terribad.

[Spanky99]

Altuve has the yips. Wow!

[Spanky99]

I'm feeling bad for the little guy.

[Spanky99]

Gave em an out, that was dumb.

[Spanky99]

Goddamn, that had to hurt.

[Spanky99]

lol... now this is a Rays inning. Not those first two games. Unreal.

 

Yup, now a duck snort double, lol.

 

Houston, you have a problem!!!

[Abomination]

The Rays are gonna win the World Series, aren't they? Everyone will discount it because of the type of season this has been, but they likely are the best team in the league atm.

3 of the 4 best teams in the league made the championship series and the one that snuck in is getting destroyed. There's no way I put an asterisk beside the winner of this world series. The world series is going to be a massive battle for the Rays whether its the Dodgers or the Braves.

Man... the Rays defensive positioning on all these hard hits cant be all scouting. Gotta be some level of fluke man lol

[Spanky99]

Was Reddick not hustling? That's brutal.

[Spanky99]

lol...wow! This D!!!

[saskjayfan]

I can't stand the Astros and I feel a bit for them. The Rays are an incredibly frustrating team to play.

[EdwinsParrot]

Rays putting on a clinic on D, lol my god.

[Spanky99]

At least Altuve's hitting...

[Spanky99]

Stros get a little luck.

[Jays24]

How can any team thats using Loup in critical situations be this far lol.

[Jays24]

And thats why...

[Spanky99]

This D... *smh*

[Stangstag]

Stros get a little luck.

 

And then some bad luck lol

[Spanky99]

Wow... Tommy Pham was stabbed, didn't know that. TIL.

[Spanky99]

Canadian!

[Spanky99]

lol... f***ing umpshow.

[Spanky99]

Astros are toast... but I hate seeing the bat taken out of Altuve's hands, BS! Ruined a good game for me.

[Stangstag]

Rays aint even breaking a sweat

[Laika]

The Rays bullpen is amazing and lots of fun. So many different looks.

 

 

And many of those players they acquired as finished products or mature prospects. So they hunted refined, unique looks.

 

Kind of the opposite approach of Houston. The Astros have a factory that pumps out RHRPs that pair plus rising fastballs with good breaking balls. It's very uniform and maybe a design flaw. Funny how quickly baseball adaptations can fall behind the curve.

 

Also, Ryan Yarbrough is a poor man's Hyun-Jin Ryu.

[Spanky99]

Bye Bye, Stros...
