    I think it was the one in the bottom of the fifth, Twins down 5-0. Runners on 1st and 2nd, and Polanco checked his swing on 1-2. Astros claimed it hit his bat and was caught, which would have retired him. Instead, it was called a ball and Polanco worked the count for a walk, loading the bases. It's a call which isn't reviewable (which has its own questions -- why isn't it reviewable?), so Houston couldn't challenge. It was almost imperceptible, but there appeared to be a slight change in direction, and I think (and Hosken and Woof seem to agree) it would have been reversed if Houston could have challenged. Alas, Kepler and Lewis each struck out, but had either of them gone deep and the Twins come back to win, Astros Daily would have had multiple posts about the topic.

    Blessings to you in this path, and I'm glad you were able to spend significant time with your dad. I'm coming up on three years since Dad died (Oct. 31), and we plan to move Mom from assisted living to the memory care unit in the next week or so. Mrs. IT has been on a similar journey with her folks. I'm with you -- baseball has been a good distraction from that kind of stuff. Bummed after yesterday's loss? Sure. But there's plenty of other injustices in the world to direct my anger at. I don't need another thing to get mad at, particularly something that I come to for enjoyment.

    I think I like this in that Varland can go multiple innings tomorrow if needed.. Jax can more likely give them an inning tomorrow after going 0.2 tonight than Varland can go multiple innings after doing so.

    A.J.: Find me a better trade than Josh Fields for Yordan Alvarez. Me: I have one in mind. 🤣

    Concur.

    The wrong one.

    To be as successful as he is at 5’6” and 165, I’m guessing Altuve is one of those guys whose muscles have muscles.

    Send him out for the ninth, unless we score at least four. And maybe even then.

    Not unlike last night, actually.

    It surprised me, too, so I looked it up. My main point is to remind us that there’s usually something underneath a move that’s contrarian. Heck — we don’t even know if Kirilloff tweaked a hammy or something.

    Brown OPS vs. righties = .839 Brown OPS vs. lefties = .728

    He’s exactly the person to use. I like having him available to follow Ryan, but this is essentially a piggy-back situation as well.

    Don’t choose a bridge!

    A.J.: “Here’s the final point I’m going to make on the sweeper.” I doubt it.

    Only two guys have more than 450 plate appearances, so that’s a factor.

    Not quite as big of a mountain as Saturday. I’d say it’s about 80 percent as big, but I’d get accused of doing math.

    Reasonably hard shot down the line. Originally called a hit, but then changed to an error. EDIT to add: You pretty much just saw the replay, except that AK got a glove on it last time.

    Very few sporting events are more beautiful than the start of a cross country meet, particularly a big meet on a scenic fall morning with the leaves turning. Haven’t been to a meet in 10 years or more, but it’s a sight that will never leave my mind’s eye.

    To clarify, if Buxton indeed gets hurt in game #1, they do have the ability to replace him (with commissioner approval, I believe). Doing so would mean that he would have to be inactive for the next series as well. (And this isn't advocating for including Buxton, just clarifying a rule.)

    I'm pretty sure it was Wainwright who asked about the vest. I'll give him more of a pass than I would have Amin or AJ. I thought Wainwright added more beneficial pitcher's perspective than I usually get in a broadcast (other than Steve Stone, whose been at it a long time).

    So the A.J. trade was even better than I thought!

    Attributed to Billie Jean King and the title of her autobiography. Also available on t-shirts, hoodies, motivational signs and pop sockets for your phone.

    I thought the same. I did appreciate that Altuve was only on first after his at bat, compared to Saturday night's leadoff experience.

    If Correa's food includes Lucky Charms, it's magically delicious! And it seems like those Lucky Charms (and probably the tear) have indeed improved the plantar fasciitis.
