So many LHP this postseason against the Astros. I'm surprised they've gotten this far given how they usually struggle against lefties

Well, of course I know him.
He's me.
I'll have to follow this game on Gameday at a Halloween party where the host refuses to put it on the tv so they can watch Stranger Things

I don't understand having a longform dramatic tv series on during a party. Unless the plan for the party is to watch the show?!

If it's just on in the background and I haven't seen it yet...way to spoil the experience, party-hoster.

Considering all the best bats are righties it's really odd to me. You'd think they would absolutely feast on LHP.

I once went to a holiday party where they decided to watch/have on The Shining with the lights turned down for dramatic effect. Probably a couple of dozen people at the party. I hadn't seen it before but had seen the Simpson's parody so I laughed throughout the whole movie which others did not so much appreciate...

Ugh, my movie snob is showing but that sounds like one of the worst ways to see one of the best thrillers ever.

reminds me of when I was sitting in a college common area one night and someone put on The Usual Suspects, but the TV they had was so old and busted you basically couldn't make out what was happening on the screen. So my first time seeing one of the coolest movie turns ever was less 'seeing' and more 'following along with characters' voices.'

EDIT: I also don't care who wins this game, except Yuri's poo poo made me root for the dodgers. And as someone who hates all things LA...gently caress you Yuri for making me do that.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I don't think anyone actually watches the horror movies playing during the Halloween parties. You're supposed to be wasted and trying to get laid. Its just background.

The real horror/Halloween nerds just have like super cuts of the big stuff. Hell, there's probably some online stream or something.

Their best right handed bats are good against both righties and lefties (and in Yuli's case somehow better against righties) but their left handed bats all suck against lefties

Was supposed to go get Pequods with some friends but it's a 2.5 hour wait so now I'm sitting at home watching this game well they decide were to go.

Go Astros?

Wood has barely pitched lately and Maeda is unavailable, so in my full CubsAstrosposting mode I expect him to go 7 shutout

Alex Wood is going to throw the game of his life. Such is the life of a Houston sports fan.

Morton will be bounced in the second inning.

2-3-2 is still dumb, also if not for 2-3-2 the Astros could start Keuchel tonight on short rest and Verlander in game 5 on normal rest

2 2 1 1 1 is better but not feasible in baseball imo, too many off days
