Gameday Thread: AL Division Series games 10/7/21

[fan_since79]

Boston came roaring back and leads 14-6 in the 9th inning.

[tdawg87]

Why can't the Angels pull a great season out of their ass like Boston did? They were expected to finish 4th. 

We can't have nice things.

[fan_since79]

Red Sox were first team ever with 20 hits and 5 HR in a postseason game.

I guess nobody cares about watching Rays/Boston...don't blame you, Rays are absolutely shitting the bed. 

It's almost unwatchable.

Bob Costa’s is a hell of an announcer

he needs the national stage more iyam 

Bob > Buck

you and i don't see eye-to-eye on this.

i think costas is terrible. always feels like he's trying to create a memorable moment with every single thing he says, trying to make everything into poetry. he's an absolutely great interviewer and should stick to that.

I'd watch it if I got MLB Network

That was a ball. I thought the Rays would steamroll the Red Sox. I was wrong. 4-4 bot 8th.

No excuses now.

[Revad]

I’m listening to the Rays radio feed which is pretty good and very funny.

[beatlesrule]

Going to extra innings tied 4-4.

[Revad]

And real extra innings…. No one starts on second.

[beatlesrule]

Red Sox man on 2nd 1 out bot 11th.

[beatlesrule]

I'm confused. Matt Vas said this is the 2nd longest postseason game behind the Red Sox Yankees but the Dodgers and Red Sox played a 7 hr 20 min World Series game in 2018. What am I missing here? The World Series is the postseason.

[beatlesrule]

KK hit a ball that hit the wall first and then bounced off the CFer and then went over the wall. They counted it as a ground rule double. The runner Diaz got sent back to third. Total BS. He scores easily if the ball didn't go off the Red Sox guy. I've never seen that before but the Rays run should have counted. Still tied 4-4 bot 13th. Rays fan should be fuming right now. Hell, I am still confused.

EDIT, so Ken Rosenthal got an explanation from MLB and it's a ground rule double because the ball was never fielded cleanly by the fielder.

[eligrba]

Gee, I wonder who MLB prefers to win?

I will watch the replay but the radio call was great.

[beatlesrule]

Red Sox just won. 2 run homer.

As a general rule, if there is any ambiguity whatsoever, the call goes in favor of the Boston team. 

[tdawg87]

It's going to happen. The worst ALCS ever.

[AngelsLakersFan]

That's a hell of a break for Boston... I always though that if the runner is on the move he is given credit for the base. I guess that's only when the team throws the ball out of play...

[Revad]

The series is not over but I’m rooting for the Rays so….  Well.  Turn the page.

[Revad]

Even if Boston wins the series it will be a big screw you to the Yankees.  Angels fans learn to see the bright side.

Don't really care, but an Astros/Red Sox ALCS must not happen.

Fuck you.

I'd rather see the Yankees in the ALCS.

Fuck. Boston. In the ass.

I think it’s happening and I hate it.
