Looks like bullpen games on both sides.

huge game for the astros if they can close it out today and let Cole pitch game 1 of the WS.  

[T.G.]

So this is what baseball has come to? The two "best teams" don't have enough good starters and have to go to a "bullpen game?"  Anyone else find this a little pathetic?

Pathetic? Playing baseball in October is never pathetic IMHO.

No kidding Capt. Obvious.

My comment is about the status of baseball today. Not a fan of openers and bullpen games.

It's an observation separate and apart from the Angels' own situation.

Peacock is for the birds

This is just something that is so new to most of us..a different way of thinking and using your assets. I dont see it as weakness at all... a big adjustment for those of us that have been baseball fans for many years.
Nothing "pathetic" about it..

Old, cranky guys aren't known for "adjustments"

I'm older and more cranky you deal with it...

[Homebrewer]

I just turned 65 last week and am cranky as hell..
But I like the new ideas...gonna be a hard game to manage and to those people that say managers make no difference...PFFFFTTTTTTTT!

[Homebrewer]

GONE!!!!!
3-0 Stros

 

[T.G.]

Sweeeet

[T.G.]

Well look at us..  3 old cranky guys chatting baseball. Feel free to fart and belch all you want

[Lou]

Yankees need to open up their wallets 

[T.G.]

Guriell likes bullpen games and after that inning, I might like them too

[Homebrewer]

Just got up and put another log on the fire..

[Homebrewer]

It's going to happen someday..a guy starting a "bullpen" game throws a complete game...probably not today. 

[T.G.]

This game is probably going to go 5 hours
