Astros went down in order.

I do not know how you multi-task! This is difficult. LOL!

With Google Chrome you can have multiple tabs up to work with. ;)

I have multiple keyboards. All different. Dang.

2 and 2 for Puig.

Slip18 · « **Reply #54 on:** October 25, 2017, 09:48:46 pm »

I don't know if you just saw what I saw with Puig licking everything in sight. No wonder Turner does not want to sit next to him in the dugout.

Someone getting loose for the Dodgers?

Deep to right field, a way back, going, going, going, it is gonnnnnnnnnne, goodbye! The first hit off
Justin Verlander tonight ties the game. Joc Pederson, home run, we're tied at one!

Slip18 · « **Reply #56 on:** October 25, 2017, 09:49:57 pm »

Joc Pederson homered. Tied game!

Back to one-finger typing. I wish I could even begin to understand what computers do. Some of it is great, like what we are doing now. Right now the Lenovo just decided to reconfigure. Do not turn off.

Thanks, Lenovo!

Correa aboard!

Another pitching change. Watson.

Manager Dave Roberts bringing in lefthander Tony Watson to face Brian McCann . . .

Slip18 · « **Reply #60 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:04:01 pm »

Tony Watson throws one pitch for a double play!

What inning are we in?

EasyAce · « **Reply #61 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:04:23 pm »

First pitch, McCann dials Area Code 5-6-3 for the side. One-all, middle six.

Slip18 · « **Reply #62 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:08:40 pm »

Springer caught a high fast ball. One out. Bottom of the 6th. 1-1.

Slip18 · « **Reply #63 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:10:01 pm »

Chris Taylor at bat. He hit a homer last night.

Vin Scully really looked good, I did not look closely but he didn't seem much different than what he was 30 years ago. Amazing. 89 I believe they said his age is.

Slip18 · « **Reply #65 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:13:14 pm »

Verlander walks Taylor-- twice tonight. 72 pitches for Verlander.

Vin Scully was magic for so many years! He looked great!

Seagar homers!

EasyAce · « **Reply #68 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:16:54 pm »

Deep to left, way back, Gonzalez running out of room, gonnnnnnnnnnnnnnne!
Seager goes the other way and it's 3-1, Dodgers . . .

TomSea · « **Reply #69 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:17:00 pm »

2 outs, Dodgers (Doy-yers for our Spanish speaking friends) walked and then, the HR.

Slip18 · « **Reply #70 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:17:35 pm »

Oh, my gosh, Turner at bat.

EasyAce · « **Reply #71 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:20:30 pm »

Ross Stripling warming up for the Dodgers. Conceivably it could be Stripling for one inning
and Kenley Jansen pitching two, depending on what the Astros do. Or it could be Stripling
for the seventh and Brandon Morrow for the eighth with Jansen in the ninth.

And will A.J. Hinch lift Verlander and trust his bullpen? Lance McCullers, Jr. to start Game
Three in Houston so he's probably not a topic tonight . . .

I just love the way you say it!!!

@Cyber Liberty has taken over the care of the Lenovo. Right in the middle of everything, it just had to configure. I will show it how to configure! Out the window!

Top of the 7th, 3-1 Dodgers.

EasyAce · « **Reply #73 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:23:48 pm »

Stripling walks Gonzalez on four pitches to open the top of the seventh, Roberts taking
no chances and going to the bullpen . . .

Is this the fourth or fifth pitcher for the Dodgers? Hill, Maeda, Wilson, I did not get the name of No. 4, and now No. 5?

Fourth pitcher of the night for the Dodgers, is Brandon Morrow.

And Morrow gets Reddick to dial Area Code 5-6-3. Two outs in the top of the seventh . . .

Slip18 · « **Reply #79 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:28:42 pm »

Dodgers got a nice double play. Two outs. Top of the 7th. 3-1 Dodgers.

EasyAce · « **Reply #80 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:28:47 pm »

Evan Gattis pinch hitting for Justin Verlander . . . beats out an infield hit with two out . . .

Do you think Jensen will close?

Base hit for the Astros. Turner did a great job keeping the ball from going a lot farther.

Time to stretch! 3-1 Dodgers.

If it stays a close game, I think Jensen will close. The Dodgers are into the Houston bullpen
now so they may get another run or two, maybe even enough that they could let Morrow
finish the game. But not really likely.

Harris now pitching.

Bellinger up.

Slip18 · « **Reply #85 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:39:10 pm »

Low throw. First baseman lost the ball! Bellinger on first base.

Puig up.

Two-run game.

EasyAce · « **Reply #86 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:40:47 pm »

They charge third baseman Bregman with the error but I think it's more Gurriel's error at first.

Slip18 · « **Reply #87 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:42:15 pm »

Wild pitch. Bellinger on 2nd.

I also thought that ball could have stayed in his glove. Just popped out.

If Gurriel had extended just a little more forward, he'd have had the out.

This is something. Joc Pederson up. Infield in. Why?

Because it's only one out in a two-run game. The Astros want to keep the game within reach.
Even a sacrifice fly can get the run home. They want it on the ground for a possible play at
the plate or to hold him on third.

EasyAce · « **Reply #93 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:48:40 pm »

Harris struck him out swinging. Big second out for the Astros, they can move the infield
back now, and a base hit is the only thing that can score the run.

Slip18 · « **Reply #94 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:50:50 pm »

McCann and Harris had a little chat when it was 2-2. No signs after that chat. Got Pederson out.

Harris kept Bellinger on third. Top of the 8th. 3-1 Dodgers.

EasyAce · « **Reply #95 on:** October 25, 2017, 10:51:01 pm »

Harris strikes out Barnes for the side. One of the better turns by an Astro reliever
I've seen this postseason. 3-1, Dodgers after seven.

Yes, it was. When the infield comes in, I always think "bunt." Still learning after all these years. LOL!

Bregman doubled. Puig could not get to it.

Bregman doubled. Puig could not get to it.

He did all he could on that ball, diving right at it, before it nicked off his glove and into the
seats for the ground ruler.

They're bringing Kenley Jansen in for the six-out save . . . and Kike Hernandez goes out to left
field with Pederson coming out in the double switch.
