Cole warming already.  I'd still throw Greinke out there for another inning

Agreed. Greinke is dealing.

hopefully he gets shelled and the Astros (and their fans) hate him for it.

Gotta love how in these playoff games teams use their stud pitchers in any position necessary. Balls to the wall baseball.

And Cole says "I'm staying right here in Houston to earn their love"

Both teams have a lot of guys you have to like. At the end of the day I hope Houston pulls this off. Would be cool for the AL West. Sports are better when it’s not a revolving doors of winners and there’s a couple dominate teams people are chasing.

I'm not sure what this means. Should Angels fans brag that the World Series winner plays in the AL West?

Ya if my teams not in it I root for the AL West teams. I’d rather have one of our teams win it than some east coast team win.

no, it's a ridiculous take

Probably. And I agree.

Fair enough. I'd rather have one of my favorite Angels of all time - Howie Kendrick - win a ring than another team that happens to play in the same division as the Angels. 

When I was a kid I remember my dad (who spent 7 years at UCLA) telling me I should be cheering for USC in a bowl game because "they're a PAC 10 team." 25 years later, I guess I still don't agree with that logic.

in Bowl games, I pull for the PAC 11

ha. not even close

Greinke has been impressive.

Dang it.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Greinke looks like he could go 9. I'd have a quick hook on him, but Hinch would be nuts to pull him after 7 if he gets these next two guys out.

Jinx post, lmao. Literally the next pitch.

Rendon!!!

[fan_since79]

Made a mistake to Rendon.

No disgrace there but at this point, short leash.

[Jay]

Is Soto a douche? Yes or no?

Big moment for Howie coming up.

Great pitching duel for the first half of the game. Nice to see Greinke reach back for one of his craftiest, coolist performance. 

Don't forget about inner diamond defense. If Greinke messed up on any of those balls hit to him the innings may have played out differently. And if the second RBI hit was handled better (it was a tough chance) maybe they don't score. 

Oops,,, one mistake and the game gets more complicated. Now the bullpens take over.

Even the 'best' ball/strike ump has missed some key pitches.
