Max coming into to close the game out.

Which Max was the good Max when he was with us? Was it brown eyed Max or blue-eyed Max?

 

[tinselwolverine]

Max looks like he?s a little shake mayby.

Or maybe not.

Not really a fan of any of the teams left.

 

[tinselwolverine]

That was a crap call. You really hate to see a game like this end on a call like that.

Dodger were getting umpire help all game with close calls around the plate.

Right.

Because it?s the visiting team that always gets the favorable calls.

Umpires view that as simple hospitality.

you have to understand Bob. He thinks that all leagues and officials help the "favorite" teams. In this case, it's LA. Sometimes it's GB. Sometimes it's the Cowboys. When two "favorite" teams play the officials give the calls to the team that he doesn't want to win.

It's pretty simple.

Now going to be forced to root for the NL winner. I actually like the Braves, don?t like the Dodgers, absolutely despise the Astros and Red Sox (going to be rooting against the Red Sox there).

I know what I saw. Jansen was getting strikes on corners that were 1-4 inches off the plate. Strike calls change at bats. You guys all know that.

The final strike of the game called.

As far as Jansen?s inning, every close pitch looked like it at least caught a part the graphics box they show on TV indicating the strike zone - there was no pitch anywhere near four inches off the plate. Here it is.

As far as Bob goes, I thought he believed that all leagues and officials hate university of Michigan and Detroit professional sports ? although why shouldn?t they, because their coaches are all so stupid and their teams are all so terrible?

Also, opposing coaches hate Michigan and Detroit also, and we they play someone besides Michigan or Detroit, they?ll always make decisions that will indirectly be adverse to Michigan and Detroit. He?s still pissed off that the angels manager - I guess it still would?ve been Scoscia, at the time, didn?t start Bobby Abreu or Torii Hunter in the final game of the season one year, which resulted in the Tigers not qualifying for home-field advantage throughout the American League playoffs.

Braves and 3-1 series leads could be a issue. But then again the Braves playoff history is littered with lost series.

THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

Through Thursday?s games, the battle in the AL to determine who goes to the World Series is between the Houston Astros and the Boston Red Sox. Ironically, both teams have ties to cheating scandals in 2017 and 2018.

The Astros, of course, were found to be guilty of high-tech sign stealing in 2017 but players were given immunity for their testimony, including those singled out for their actions in planning and implementing the sign stealing. One of those labeled as a ?ringleader? was Alex Cora, who went on to become the Red Sox manager in 2018.

Similarly, there was evidence that Boston used some of the same sign-stealing strategies in 2018 that Houston did. After an investigation by MLB, it was determined that Boston?s actions were ?more limited in scope? and the organization was exonerated. However, the Red Sox fired Cora for a year before rehiring him a year later.

During the 2019 World Series, the Washington Nationals were warned by multiple sources that the Astros were continuing to cheat. As a result, the Nats had to take extra precautions by developing an extremely complex system of signs to use before going on to win the World Series.

With the return of both of these teams to the playoffs, have your feelings about them changed given the circumstances and the time to reflect since the cheating scandals came to light?

What is your opinion of these 2 teams since the cheating investigations?

1. Dislike them very much.

2. Still somewhat disapprove of them.

3. No longer care.

4. Let bygones be bygones.
