Also, 4 and a half hours (and still going) for a game is ridiculous

I'd like to see a better angle. Is there one available? I saw them reverse it then changed the channel. The one I saw on TV wasn't showing the glove at all.

It probably should have stayed with the original call, and I actually thought Maddon was mostly challenging to buy Davis time, but should never have even given a chance for an overturn. Sloppy base running at the worst time.

Nats were swinging at a lot of balls in the 9th.

Depending which data you look at (some lists have Dallas larger than Houston) the 4 biggest markets in the USA are in the final four. Coincidence, or something we should expect more of in the future?

I'd say at least partly coincidence. Houston may be a big market, but is around average in terms of revenue.

Of the 4 teams, only the Dodgers stand out as buying their way to where they are. The 3 other teams are enjoying the success of smart re-builds. Even the Yankees are where they are with homegrown youth. Of course they have more financial leeway to live with some financial mistakes and take on some over-priced pieces.

The payroll of the 4 teams are ranked 1,2,8,18.

Astros bats have gone quiet here. Good chance for Yanks to get a split. Hopefully the Astros can get going against a real tough bullpen.

Haha F U Chapman and the Yankees.

Lucky though, Altuve should have been out at the plate. Luckily the yanks botched it.

Wow. Pettis as the Astros third base coach has made some big mistakes all season long, sending guys who did not have a chance. He did it again, but caught a break this time.

But then again, WTF wasn't Altuve running on a 3-2 count. I know you don't want a strike him out, throw him out but that was weirdly conservative. If he's running he would score without the botch.
