Chuck told me to report yoRe BBQ pic. You are doing it wrong. Cheese goes on first. 🤪 🤪 🤪 The boys over again tonight?

At my brother’s house tonight for the game. Persian food. Rice with lamb shanks and crispy rice.

Dodgers got to stop walking batters, the point is to keep them off base

The plate umpires have been atrocious . Inconsistency in strike zones and calling critical pitches balls that were strikes, and visa/versa.
absolutely. Saturdays was pretty good, Friday was bad, today is horrible on both sides. I dont want a robot zone I am all for the gamesmanship of framing but I am 2nd guessing that now after these games. This is the WORLD SERIES, the best teams made it, how do we end up with the bottom of the barrel umps.

Some of the worst umpires are going to be behind the dish. Here’s the rankings and each game when they will be behind the plate. Out of 90.

1. 32 / 90
2. 73th
3. 49th
4. 60th
5. 18th
6. 37th
7. 24th

Yeh, but both sides have to hit the same zone
Like I tell my players, if you don't get 2 strikes on you, you won't strikeout

I was speechless at a dozen calls. I’m glad the Dodgers won. But we were struggling with our middle relief and were bailed out by bad calls.

I’d expect a WS to have the best of the best umpiring that game. Even the bad calls weren’t consistent.

Another impressive game by the Dodgers. Buehler was really tight.

Did anyone else notice that in the fourth inning Smoltz was doing his usual blathering...on and on...and Joe Davis basically told him to shut up. He said something like "Put a period on it, that's enough." Smoltz didn't say more than two or three sentences in a row for the rest of the game.

😁

I’d like at least a couple more games. I’m in a pool that pays per game played. Four game sweep only for people win. Seven game series, seven people win (less money but still more pay out).

… I hadn’t paid any attention to what the Smoltz guy said until tonight… And I actually listened to him… He’s such a blithering idiot… His ongoing dialogue kind of takes away one’s ability to perceive the game in how one wants to see it… He wants his television audience to see it the way he sees it🤷🏽‍♀️…Dunno…

I don’t think Roberts has a sweep in him. We will see

hadn't thought of that, but you're 100% right . . . good observation.

Dislike both teams.
But Freddie Freeman is having an awesome series. He locked up the MVP after last night.
Was wondering why the Dodgers were doing so well, then remembered Clayton Kershaw is out. He is the choke artist normally.

Latino's make great Americans.. Hard working, Church on Sunday and family time. They drive Chevys and Fords, they love Baseball, Dodgers and Padres (and the Raiders) lol, and lots of them are conservative.

Disclaimer: Obviously this is a huge generalization.. But something I have witnessed being a native of Southern California.

They could do better on the patriotism side if they’d stop waving Mexican flags. I don’t see white people waving the flags of the countries they came from at every chance.

Most of the Latinos in SoCal don’t waive or even own Mexican flags. It’s the recent arrivals that do that shit, and mostly soccer fans during World Cup.
