Astros need to play small ball and focus on getting on base.

Oh and I really do not like it blue sets up behind the catcher vice centerline behind the plate. Skews his perspective.

Looks to me like he's setting up in the slot. I think what you're seeing is a combination of camera angle and the catcher moving to set up inside on certain pitches.

Short of a miracle, that should just about do it for the Astros.

Keep watch. He's there (directly behind the plate) about 95% of the time. The other 5% seem to result in questionable calls. Although, at the beginning of the game Smoltz did note this ump had the best ball/ strike rep during the regular season.

Congrats Nats. They really earned it. Before the playoffs started I didn’t think anyone could beat the Astros.

They’ll have a worthy adversary in my Braves when they finish their rebuilding over the next 6-9 months. Smile

Congratulations Nats! And congratulations to the Astros as well. Two fine teams in a terrific World Series. History was made tonight!

Dang if I don't love watching a baseball team win the series second only to watching a team win the Stanley Cup.

Unprecedented. NEITHER team could pull off a home win. WOW... Eek



"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

My personal preference will always be to watch good baseball, exciting baseball, and excellence in execution in World Series action...and to see every Series go 7 games. Beyond that, my personal preference and belief is that teams making their first appearance in the WS lose, grow from what they learned in that appearance, stay "hungry"...and come back in a season or two, and win...

Having said that, we got to watch two really excellent teams battle it out to Game 7...mistakes were made, and great baseball was played. Some good commercials (I liked the Buzz Aldrin one), we got to see a fan take a ball to the gut and save his beers without spilling a drop...and we got to see Hooters. Wink
Can't ask for more than that.

Congratulations to both teams and congratulations to the forum Nats fans...your team acquited themselves well!

Now...MLB can get on to the business of the "juiced" ball, and how they are going to address it... or ignore it.
