I actually can't believe a team that usually swings for the fences was patient enough today to take 14 walks.

fulltritty · 07-11-2021, 04:44 PM

And now no one can close this thing out.

fulltritty · 07-11-2021, 04:51 PM

Way to go Green.

Another brilliant overuse by dumb Boone.

ottobord · 07-11-2021, 05:02 PM

Altuve's wife must be over the tattoo thing. Funny.

Just peachy, so much for the momentum they were building.

It may not have been with the use of illegal devices this time, but there is zero chance that the Astros batters did not have signs for the 9th inning.

There were, what, 7 hitters, 0 foul balls, 6 hits, and about 2 pitches taken? There is no explanation for that level of hotness suddenly arriving out of nowhere.

I think you forgot the one and the zero before that zero.

I was looking at MLB.com. I don't know which one is right.

Box score LOB comes in two forms. First is per player, which totals to always be much higher and then next to all of the XBH, RBI and RISP data, you'll see LOB. That's the team # and the official #.

Altuve clearly knew a curve ball was coming, wether it was stolen who knows.

Is allowing six run to score over a span of 12 pitches a record?

You guys forget A.Judge botched the ball hit by Toro.

This is the ESPN article headline for the game...
"Buzzer beater: Altuve walks off Yankees with HR"

Yeah very odd how they made a big deal that his wife didnt want his big Ugly tattoo shown on tv or whatever because it wasnt finished. Yet today they pull his shirt off and you can barely even see a tattoo, so yeah anyone who actually believed that BS excuse before, has to realize that was another lie. SHOCKING!

At this point the only people who actually believe they weren't using buzzers are Astros fans

Like I said before.

The people that believe there are buzzers are no different than the people who believe the Earth is flat or any other conspiracy theory.

One guy on Reddit with no evidence and look at all the true believers above.

Just the opposite, Now that we know Altuve was lying about his tattoo/shirt it's no longer in the conspiracy theory world. And I didn't even care about this really until today.

It is amazing that you think "we know" this.

People's brains are just broken. There are 100 people on record saying buzzers were never a thing, a full investigation, zero evidence of anything other than a rando online who created a theory based on a reaction from a single game from a single player.

Then today we see him shirtless and now we know his explanation was BS.

No, that's not what it means at all. That's simply what you want it to mean.

So what's it mean then? He hits a series clinching HR and instead of celebrating like every single player before him did, he holds onto his shirt for dear life and runs into the locker room, then comes out later??

Was he poopin? He should've just said he was poopin.

What a week for Green. An immaculate inning a few days ago with 9 pitches for 3 Ks and now 12 pitches scores 6 runs to lose a game.
