Alvarez picked a nice time to suck.

Well that worked out ok.  GIDP would be cool. 

Shame on them for trying to win

Nah, just beat the shift.  If the league wasn’t such a 3 outcome league, shifts wouldn’t exist. 

I don’t appreciate you questioning my psychic integrity.  I work hard at my craft. 

Someone could throw us all for a loop by posting from the game, and "predicting" everything that happens 20 seconds before it happens.

Rivera about to take this guy deep. 

UnderTheHalo is Nostradamus!

Cole doesn't 

Barria probably goes 7 tonight.

I dunno if I like this because Calhoun is an easy out before Trout comes up.  Trout could potentially be in a lot of 2 out no one on base situations 

Good for him. I still think the Astros pitchers are onto something though. 

I'd like Simmons leading off in future.  Then a trout/ohtani at 2-3

BaseballExpertStatsBest.com has his ELQ (Effort Level) rated at 0.47. That's third lowest in the majors. They use advanced facial expression recognition technology and brain wave measurements to track this, so I trust them. 

He's giving 143% out there

You don't know for sure that he's not taking them. So how is it stupid? Just because someone thinks a pitcher of doing steroids does now mean it's stupid. 

He could be. On top of that, a mediocre pitcher suddenly pitching like Prime Pedro!? Sure, yeah okay. 

No!

Not consistently. 

Then what was he before the previous 2 seasons then? ERA was 3.88 and 4.26. How is he not mediocre?

Better than his numbers suggested?

Verlander, Morton, and now Cole. That's three. Coincidence? Maybe not!

I'd like to see him back off the plate and go grab s seat in the dugout for the remainder of the game 

I disagree with your comment, too.
