Good: Haven't surrender 1000 runs yet this game
Bad: Offense used up all of their scoring for the week in game 3

Basically the electronic strike zone is perfect and needs to be implemented immediately otherwise fans get salty when calls go against their team.

I was watching and knew the strike zone was bullshit. You can call balls and strikes from your couch pretty consistently from your couch, believe it or not. But people only pay attention to a graphic which can be wrong. Not saying that's what is happening here (they do look a bit off the plate), but MLB needs to get rid of the strike zone graphic. It's stupid and gives people a reason to complain more.
Although the zone Fox is using right now is nice. It isn't overbearing and thankfully isn't taking up an eighth of the screen.

Holy shit, bringing Verlander in??
No, he's warming up in case of weather delay. Maybe.
Edit: And heeeere he comes.

This seems a little nutty given they lead in the series and are going home if they happen to lose and Verlander has never pitched relief and the weather...but we will see

Bringing in Verlander is odd, what if it starts raining hard? Only getting an inning or so then dealing with a huge rain delay seems like it could be a waste.

Hinch is going to lose us this series cause he has no fucking clue what he's doing.
Fun Fact: The Red Sox don't have a manager.

Super Nintendi!
Hinch wanted to out redsox the redsox and look what happens.
Now what does Hinch do? Brin Keuchell on a pottential game 5 on short rest when he could had just had Verlander well rested? Lmao, Astros had two chances on beating the Royals in 2015 Divisional Series and couldnt do the Job, Will they repeat again?

Turns out that the solution to fixing Sale and Price in the postseason is to just turn them into relievers
