Falcons Twitter anxiously supports Braves in World Series

The Braves are taking on the Astros in Game 6 of the World Series, and the fans in Atlanta are understandably nervous.

The Braves are taking on the Astros in Game 6 of the World Series with a chance to close it out, and the fans in Atlanta are understandably nervous. Five years ago, the Falcons were in a similar position in the Super Bowl but collapsed in a fashion so painful, most fans have yet to fully shake it off.

As we can see on Twitter, the fan base’s excitement for tonight’s game is arguably matched by its anxiety.

Carlos Correa had the sickest bat flip after his homer against the Red Sox and here’s every angle of it

Carlos Correa just had the coolest moment of the postseason

Alright, look y’all. The Houston Astros are still incredibly hatable after their cheating scandal from a few years back. That stink isn’t wiped away completely.

But, uh, Carlos Correa, man. This dude is pretty awesome — we’ve got to be honest about that. And he had the most incredible moment against the Red Sox in Game 1 of the ALCS on Friday.

Correa steps up to bat with the game tied 3-3 in the bottom of the 7th with two outs. The count is tied 2-2.

Hansel Robles throws the pitch at Correa and then he absolutely blasts the thing out of the park. And he knew exactly what he did when he did it. It was incredible.

After he hit the ball, he tossed the bat and checked his wrist. Didn’t even watch it. It was so cool, man.

That go-ahead homer essentially clinched the game for the Stros. They never looked back. But I’m here to tell you that even if they lost this might still be the coolest homer of the year. That bat flip, man. The nerve of this guy.

This is just what he does.

It was so good, we’ve got to take a look at it a few more times. Here it is from every angle.

Astros se posiciona en un 6-9 sin su basura

Después de que los barrieran en Oakland este fin de semana, bien lo podemos decir: una buena parte de la presumible ofensa de Houston sabía cómo se verían las pitchadas del equipo oponente.

Esto incluye un segundo lugar y una racha de 5 juegos perdidos seguidos… Perdiendo dos veces en Arizona y ahora siendo barridos por la división que lideran los Oakland A’s, incluyendo una fea pelea cuando el coach de los Astros fue atacado por un corredor durante el juego.

[vertical-gallery id=14250]

Descubrir que no eres tan bueno, y que todos tus triunfos venían de hacer trampa debe de doler.

Aquí queda la esperanza de que los Astros no lleguen ni a la postemporada, incluso con el nuevo formato expandido de playoffs.

Archie Bradley le pintó dedo a los Astros desde el bullpen tras un home run de los Diamondbacks

Aparte del primer juego de su serie contra los Dodgers, los Astros no han vivido un tormento tan severo como el que muchos esperaban tras el escándalo de sus trampas. Esto, en parte, podría deberse a la ausencia de fans esta temporada. Y quizá también influya la insistencia de Rob Manfred de proteger a los Astros.

Pero eso no significa que los jugadores de la MLB hayan superado el robo de señas de los Astros — ni cerca. Este miércoles en la noche vimos esos sentimientos de reprobación durante el juego entre los Astros y los Diamondbacks.

Con Nick Ahmed bateando en el quinto inning, el shortstop de Arizona lideró un home run de 413 pies de izquierda a centro. Pero más allá del home run, pongan atención a Archie Bradley de los D-backs en el bullpen.

Traducción: Nick Ahmed – Arizona Diamondbacks corrida (1) 2

Distancia: 413 pies

Velocidad de salida: 100.9mph

Ángulo de lanzamiento: 30º

Bradley celebró el home run pintándole dedo a los jugadores de los Astros.

Y los fans de la MLB notaron el gesto.

Traducción: Archie Bradley pintándole dedo a los Astros tras el home run de Nick Ahmed.

Traducción: Archie Bradley saluda a los Astros después de que los Diamondbacks los derrotaran 14-7.

Esa es una manera de enviar un mensaje que no involucra lanzarse bolas de beisbol. Por ejemplo.

Los Diamondbacks ganaron el juego 14-7 y juegan nuevamente contra Houston el jueves.

La suspensión por 8 juegos del pitcher de los Dodgers, Joe Kelly, por parte de la MLB es un chiste

La MLB es terrible en repartir castigos y hacer decisiones inteligentes, por lo que esta noticia no es sopresiva para nadie: el pitcher de los Dodgers Joe Kelly fue suspendido por ocho juegos por lanzar la pelota a algunos jugadores de los Astros el martes por la noche y después burlarse de ellos mientras dejaba el diamante.

[vertical-gallery id=14487]

Es decir, come on MLB. ¡Ocho juegos por eso? Como el genial Ken Rosenthal destaca, esta suspensión de ocho juegos en una temporada de 60 juegos equivale a una suspensión de 22 juegos en un programa normal de 162 juegos. Eso también es ocho juegos más que cualquiera de los jugadores de los Astros recibió por hacer trampa.

Lo que un absoluto chiste.

También hay que destacar, Kelly, quien no siempre tiene el mejor autocotrol, no golpeó a ninguno de los jugadores hacia quienes lanzó la pelota. Así que básicamente lo están suspendiendo por lanzar una pelota cerca de un bateador, lo cual es el trabajo de un pitcher. ¿Debió evitar pitchar detrás de los bateadores? Sí, probablemente. Pero aún así, nadie fue golpeado.

Si en caso Rob Manfred debería suspenderse a sí mismo por continuar haciendo tan terrible trabajo.

Claro que Manfred no suspendió a ningún jugador de los Astros por su papel en el escándalo de sus trampas, que les ayudaron a ganar la Serie Mundial sobre los Dodgers en 2017. Manfred, al defender su decisión de su falta de castigo, incluso llamó el trofeo de la Serie Mundial “un pedazo de metal”.

Al no castigar a ninguno de los jugadores, dejó a los Astros aún más vulnerables ante situaciones como la que vimos el martes por la noche. ¿Qué pensó que iba a pasar cuando los miembros de los Dodgers y de otros equipos vieran que nadie recibía castigo alguno por el escándalo? ¿Iban a aceptar simplemente el hecho de que a la liga no le importara y seguir adelante con sus tranquilas vidas? No, claro que no.

Creo que todos coincidimos que Manfred es un tonto quien debería de haber dejado su puesto hace mucho tiempo. Castigar a Kelly por tanto tiempo en una temporada tan breve es una prueba más de que Manfred y la MLB están completamente desconectados de la realidad.

Kelly está protestando por su suspensión, y si yo fuera los Dosgers, simplemente lo dejaría salir y pitchar la primera entrada como un enorme dedo del medio frente a una liga y un jefe que están por encima de las nubes.
