FIRSTROS OF ATLANTIS

1st for cubes

I wonder what DG is up to right about now

Do Lastrosfags really think they're going to win the World Series? lmao

we're getting umpballed to death but our #Dodgers are going to DESTROY those shitstros like the chokemasters they really are

Reminder that the 2017 LA Dodgers literally cried in public over based pineapple man chatting about a homerun he hit.

Reminder than the 2017 LA Dodgers come from the city of Jews, pedophiles, fags, whores, and other degenerate scum that are too narcissistic to even make noise during a World Series game and require constant egging on by their organist.

Reminder that the 2017 LA Dodgers are the most expensive roster in MLB history, and they are about to get beat by a team that cost $100 million less to field.

Reminder that the Houston Astros are Houston Strong™ and will continue their beatdown of SJW-faggotry and oversensitivity in their glorious run to World Series glory

Fell asleep during the 7th. I knew the Astros pen wouldn't hold that lead. Seriously if you had doubts about juiced balls this series should confirm it

not gonna lie, I chuckled.

seriously though Dodgers in 7, no contest.

Kershaw now holds the record for most homers given up in a single postseason by a single pitcher (8)

check'd

>Kershaw now holds the record for most homers given up in a single postseason by a single pitcher (8)
[choo choo noise intensifies]

Nah it's just bad pitching

KIDS HATE TRUMP

will baseball and basketball end up having the most staying power of all the american sports?

>we're getting umpballed to death
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

...

If the Dodgers lose this series, Dave Roberts and Clayton Kershaw have got to go.

How mad will LA be when Astros win on their home turf?

>How mad will LA be when Astros win on their home turf?
I'm honestly concerned for our players. I don't expect the Dodgers would lose gracefully and we'd probably see an incident or two.

It would be funny if LA rioted.

I swear if they harm a hair on Altuve's head, you don't even know....

>I swear if they harm a hair on Altuve's head
Verlander wouldn't allow that to happen. I am, however, concerned for fans who may be attending.

After all, there was that guy who tried to rush the bullpen

Giants fan checking in to say the place is looking real nice IYKWIM

>Racist shootout then bitch hanging
Tarantino was a prophet

Will he save us lads?

...

...

>The Doyers have lost games because of a rags pitcher they acquired at the trade deadline and their ace who grew up a rags fan

When will people finally realize that it isn’t the Dodgers that are cursed, it’s their association with the >rags

I guess the Doyers and Stros were right all along: the ball really is juiced.

Who's the bigger chink in the Dodgers' armor: Yu Darvish, or Clayton Kershaw?

What is a “juiced ball” can someone explain2me?

t.lifelonger

Just a ball that can be hit harder and farther than the balls previously used

How they do this I'm not sure (more cork? different material?)

Kershaw ain't shit. The Dodgers depend on that chucklefuck way to much to shut them down in the first 4 innings. Morrow is now officially the Ken Giles of LA though.

Most people on tv seem to be a little uninterested by that guy throwing back the ball in game 5, I thought it was kind of funny

Its a tradition at Minute Maid. Always throw back the other teams homeruns

Would've been more funny if it was a random guy, but apparently it was her brother in law

Still pretty funny tho

Morrow was fucking beat though, Giles didn't have that excuse.

Minute Maid park soaks their baseballs in orange juice. Kershaw hates the smell of oranges (hence all the screaming and tantrums) and got thrown off his game. Texas is a corrupt state run by citrus supremacists and jerrymandering pinch hitters. Disgusting.

Tighter windings, and slicking down the exterior (both in material and stitches being more recessed) means the pitchers are hanging the balls more

Then it's even fucking more retarded for forcing him into another game like that.
LA has no clue what to do if meme ass kershaw can't hold it down.

>Tighter windings, and slicking down the exterior

shit, wait

what if baseball becomes super popular again and we look like trendy fuckboys

>OAK
Hahahahahaha

Just start spouting sabermetrics and historical baseball stuff so people know how hardcore you are

i.4cdn.org/wsg/1509375117529.webm

that was such a cool fucking moment. springer is becoming one of my favorite non-reds players

2 questions about the final play:

1) is BragMan Jensen's kryptonite (HR yesterday)
2) why did the the outfielder triple pump that ball before making the attempts at home instead of just barehanding it?

>That's actually the ball exploding on the tracks

How fucking hard did he hit that?

Come on bros
We can't let the KKKstros win

looks pretty fluid here. i think he wanted to get it in as close to home plate as possible to facilitate the tag

Juiced balls can be explosive at high velocity

he definitely has a pump and stutter step and he takes a weird angle. I'm not saying he would've gotten the out because I think the runners were going, but it could've been closer

>chink
>not Darvish

Can it be any worse right now?
>racistros win world series
>mueller fails to arrest Trump
>Trump begins genocide

Exactly, Dodgers were just throwing shit at the wall and praying for a miracle after Kershaw failed them.

detoilet bros, how consistent is verlander?

>He is 9-0 with a 1.53 ERA in 10 games (nine starts) since being traded to the Astros.

I'm worried he's due

i'm not sure any historical data will bear on what he does tomorrow, dude is in a completely rejuvenated state of mind and you can tell he's wild about his own team

MANLET'D

Sup Forumsstros!

>One player makes a funny gesture
>whole team is racist

It's just people memeing

OAK:Bruce Maxwell arrested for aggravated assault

"Oakland Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell was reportedly arrested in his Scottsdale, Arizona, home Saturday night and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct after allegedly pointing a gun at a female food delivery driver, per TMZ Sports."

Holy shit, feminists just don't care about MLB players do they?

If this was an NFL player this would be a nation wide scandal by now. I mean pointing a gun, at an innocent delivery driver?

Fucking GOAT sport.

"He was the lone MLB player to take a knee during the anthem this season in solidarity with the NFL player protests of police brutality and racial inequality."

L O L

> pointing a gun at a female food delivery driver

>Police say a "strong odor of intoxicating liquor emanated from his breath" and Maxwell was speaking in an elevated voice, often yelling, was verbally aggressive, using excessive profanities, and making anti-police statements.

***kneels***

So the Dodgers won the WS in game 4, right? No way that Houston swipes one win in LA. Especially outdoors, where it favors the Dodgers.

>"I was racially profiled," Maxwell said. "He denied us service at lunch and they had to go get us another waiter to wait on our table. That's where I'm from. And like I said, unless you’re subject to it, you won't understand it, you won't feel it. I'm 26 years old. I'm very respectful. I'm very educated. And it still happens to this day. That's why I'm kneeling—stuff like that."

It happened once, it can happen again. And after last game, even one team being ahead doesn't promise anything.

actually, a majority of Sup Forums became astros fans after that, it's the butthurt yankee and doyers fans that are trying to "rally the troops" who are feigning outrage

>Game 5 was the 2nd longest game in World Series history (timewise) behind the Astros-WhiteSox 14 inning game in 2005

Why do you faggots assume that any post that any post that's even mildly against the Astros is by a Yankee or Dodger fan? The accusation doesn't even make sense half the time.

> doesn't even make sense half the time

welcome to Sup Forums, friend.

For the same reason anytime someone says something bad about a playoff contender during the regular season, they are accused of being DG. People on /mlb/ need a bogeyman because most people on here are morons.

>t. jose fernandaz in LA

to be fair, around 80% of those accusations are probably correct

Pissboi is MLB Culture gdi.
MLB CULTURE

>most people here are stupid
>obviously not me though

>dfw no underage girl with daddy issues to pee on while watching Kershit choke yet again

>2017
>being named r.kelly

great world series so far, but any playoff baseball would have been nice

if your 2018 looks anything like this, it won't be too long a wait

DG confirmed as r kelly

This is literally peak JV. While a choke is always a possibility, this is literally the best he's been his whole career.

Kershaw didn't get the loss last night.

Apologize

ok: i'm sorry the win-loss rules for pitchers exist in such a way that clayton kershaw didn't catch that L

no its not

Kershaw was fucking amazing last night.

But the Astro's offense was just that much better.

That's baseball. Cruel, heartbreaking, and unfair. But we move on.

Dodgers in 7.

>Archer wants to retire a Ray

Hope we get him a ring next year

Gurriel is a racist POS

No one actually thinks the Astros can win a WS at LA, right?

That entire game last night was fucking amazing and the Dodgers should be proud of that performance at the end of the day.

These are objectively the best teams in baseball, right now. No flukes.

Imagine Trout playing with these World series special Manfred balls

the famous last words of a traded pitcher. he'll look great in a st. louis jersey

Trout is a generic loser on a loser team that no one cares about
He is irrelevant

you spelled GOAT wrong

t. Mariners cuck

I don't remember the last time a road team won a WS.
