That is the primary season that I’ve really type of gotten into baseball—even that now-infamous/still-famous-depending-on-who-you-talk-to World Collection we gained, I simply let all of it occur within the background and loved the victory. However I’ve to say, there’s one thing enjoyable about watching the sport (on TV), making an attempt to work out whether or not the umpire goes to name a missed pitch a ball or a strike, and making an attempt to do not forget that if an outfielder(?) catches the ball, that’s nonetheless an out (which type of appears unfair for the batter, I imply they may do all the things proper and simply because some chucklehead was in the precise place with their glove out, all that effort is for nothing? However then, the sport’s been performed this manner for many years and I simply began paying consideration within the final week or two, so perhaps I ought to shut up).
The Collection thus far has actually been… one thing. Disappointing? Up to now, yeah. I need to see a minimum of one Astros win on the board—although, after all, I’d LIKE the trophy. But when we will get a minimum of one win, then it doesn’t matter what else occurs, we’ve got our dignity. And hey, if there’s one factor this 12 months’s ALCS taught me, it’s which you could’t take your eye off the Astros (nicely, these Astros) for a second, as a result of they’re all the time prepared to show the sport round on you, they simply want the prospect. That trophy is certainly nonetheless up for grabs.
