. . . and that's all they'll get. They're now 1-for-13 with men in scoring position in Game Seven.
5-1, Astros, after six full, the Astros are nine defensive outs from the Promised Land! And Kenley
Jansen is coming in to pitch for the Dodgers.

Kenley Jansen works the seventh for the Dodgers, the Astros get Jose Altuve aboard on a two-
out walk, he steals second, but he's stranded there. 5-1, Astros, middle seven . . .

Didn't they open Minute Maid Park for fans to watch Game Seven in the ballpark? Lots of teams
do that in World Series games.

Yes, but I want to watch them when we win.

Now I'm gonna say it!  Didn't think there was a worse caller of balls and strikes in baseball than Hernandez!  Goes to show how much I know!

And I'll be VERY shocked if George Springer isn't named the World Series MVP. That guy was a
wrecking machine in this World Series!

All Series long you could pick a ton of pitches called wrongly against both sides. It's like the Dodgers
and the Astros managed to play a classic World Series in spite of the umps!

Tonight it was like the Dodgers had a 10th man in the line up.  But I don't care now!

I was tracking all the pitches while I covered the game. Both teams had a tenth man, at
different points of the game. This umpiring crew was one of the worst I've seen for
calling pitches.

I'm not a great lip reader but I'm good enough to have seen AJ say "I don't know where the strike zone is"  at one point and I don't know how he could have known with this crew!  They SUCKED at calling balls and strikes!

   I'm proud of ya Stros and I'm not even a Baseball fan (though @EasyAce has made it more entertaining for me).
   It's been since 94 since the Rockets won it all, HOUSTON STRONG!!!!

I can believe that about Hinch. No few Astros and no few Dodgers, hitters and pitchers alike,
were looking like they thought the strike zone was turned into a stoned flamenco dancer.
Even when they caught breaks on the calls they looked like they had no idea . . .

 Unlike San Antonio, Houston doesn't even have a Hockey Team anymore, just goes to show you how much influence those yankee bastards have anymore in that rat race town.
