In '65, my Port Arthur cub scout pack went to the newly built "world wonder" Astrodome. Don't remember the game. But that scoreboard...

This is all just reminding me that Angel accused MLB of racism for not putting him on playoff crews

Another spring commute
Angel Hernandez wanted his goddamn postseason game so bad he threw a big sad and sued MLB over it, and now that he's finally got it he's wasted zero time in proving why nobody wanted him calling a game that was even remotely important.

Pretty much. He was very vulnerable in the first two innings, been locking them down since

In hindsight it seems like a really, really bad idea to not start Price.

You essentially wasted a fantastic arm in a game where he came in already down 3.

He came back from the DL too late in the season to get properly stretched out.

What I heard is they didn't have time to let him stretch back out to starter innings after he came back from injury

hahaha holy poo poo why did you even put Rodriguez in there in the first place?

If I were a Red Sox fan I'd be seriously questioning Farrell's competency...but as an Astros fan, I love it!
