There is no doubt the strike zone was very large. That helps the WS because the Astros are a disciplined team that rarely chase out if the zone. What do think about the Astros coming back with McCullers today? He seems to own the WS, but I would rather face him in a hostile environment. Carlos hasn’t pitched a lot lately and he’ll have a short hook from TLR. We he is right, he’s very good, but we aren’t sure he is healthy.
I'd have stuck with Urquidy, with Greinke first out of the pen, but what do I know. Lots of questions for game 5 if the Astros lose today.
Best of luck to the White Sox and their fans (you know who you are!) going forward. I've enjoyed learning about the team through watching the games and reading this thread. The future is bright.
I walked up to him to bust his balls about a running bit I do thinking he'd laugh it off and he had a prepared trivia question to stump people who inevitably were going to call him out for being a pink hat.
Looks like you got under his skin. He went after you with the personal comments.
My take wasn't incorrect. I said they could win it all or get swept. That wasn't wrong. I can't predict the future and don't operate as if my baseball brain is the end all/be all. You're acting as if I had a "take" as bad as saying Fitz has no intention of replacing McCall, while simultaneously talking down on anyone who disagreed with you...

What's funny in this whole thing is that Cusack was blatantly wrong in his assertion that Mike Squires was the 1st baseman on the '83 team. He was a 1st baseman, but was behind Tom Paciorek and Greg Walker on the depth chart. And yes, anyone that calls themselves a Chicagoan and claims allegiance to both teams is a fraud.

With a solid OC this team is
very comparable to last year’s in terms of talent. But without a good OC we just lost confidence and our thin margin of error was exposed.
...before he was literally fired the VERY next day.
And if someone did come up to me and bust my balls about just about anything at all, I'd take it in stride and have fun with it. I wouldn't immediately get confrontational and use a prepackaged, obscure name drop trivia question to prove a point. That'd just make me come off as insecure.

What was that crap about smelling bad and not brushing your teeth? Dem fighting words. I assume that came out after the confrontation?My take wasn't incorrect.

LOL, are you looking in the mirror? What do I have to be angry about? I am sad for my boys who are upset about the Sox but even they knew this team didn’t have horses and they are just fans.
I don't know...what do you have to be angry about? Maybe if you dealt with it, you'd stop being so mad and bitter.
Astros won in every facet of the game. I hope the team uses it as a learning experience that the little things matter. The 3 uncontested SB’s were a microcosm of the difference between the teams. I see the Astros handling the Red Sox and Giants/Dodgers winner is the only team that could give them problems. I took the Giants to start the playoffs, but tonight against Urias will be tough.
I am not 24, but it is clearly both. The pitchers are mostly terrible holding runners and Yasmani is below average behind the plate. I know the pitcher can shake the pitch call but man some of the pitch selection in this serious was very curious.
I’d say 90% on the pitchers. McCall is historically fine at throwing out runners. Sox pitching holds runners like garbage

Willy is the only one who cares. It’s his claim to fame on retorts.For any of those who still care about the 2021 attendance:
Attendance for White Sox for the 2021 season was the 13th-highest in baseball at 1,596,385. Add 80,000 for the 2 home playoff games so about 1,700,000 attended over playoffs and regular season games.
The Cubs attendance for the season was 1,978,934, the seventh-best number in baseball.
Here’s the source:
Can the Cubs stop the bleeding? Will White Sox crowds stay strong?: Dollars and sense
A look at Cubs and White Sox season-ticket prices, plus this week's Chicago Sky victory rally.

White Sox also had less games at full capacity once the city opened up. In the end who cares? Sox Park will be an awesome place to watch great baseball in the coming years
I just found it humorous that had willy gotten his wits about him for long enough to take the bet offered, he would have won by a good margin.
