putnam6 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Loved this from before the game from the Onion Astros Start Nolan Ryan In Game 6 On 10,268 Days’ Rest HOUSTON—With their fading World Series series hopes hinging on a strong pitching performance against the Atlanta Braves, the Houston Astros announced Tuesday that they would be starting Nolan Ryan in Game 6 on 10,268 days’ rest. “We’re trying to be really careful not to overwork our pitchers to keep them fresh with the series on the line, and Nolan hasn’t appeared in a game since Sept. 22, 1993, so he should be good to go,” said Astros manager Dusty Baker, adding that the longtime Astros pitcher looked sharp in a light pitching session with his grandson 15 years ago.

A lot of that comes from a completely different team than what played last night, but you have to included the whole pie. Just shows how incredible of a job the GM did. He actually leaped frog to the top of GMs in this city that includes Schlink’y! 🤓 ATL Fan in the DMV, Ergo Proxy, putnam6 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putnam6 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 https://www.chron.com/sports/astros/article/Fan-caught-Jorge-Soler-home-run-ball-Crawford-16587109.php When Manuel Ramos’ brother invited him over to his perfectly located abode at the 500 Crawford Downtown Apartments, he thought he was just going to drink some beers and crane his neck to watch some baseball from the apartment’s fifth-floor balcony. Instead, he walked away with a piece of baseball history. Ramos, his brother Richard and a large group of friends were having a World Series Game 6 watch party on Tuesday night just a block outside the Minute Maid Park Crawford Boxes, when they heard a groan inside the ballpark and then saw a flying white object come hurtling through the air and bounce off an awning outside the stadium. It didn’t take them long to realize that was the baseball the Braves’ Jorge Soler had just crushed 446 feet over the train tracks to give his team a 3-0 third-inning lead.

ATLBham Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Soler won the World Series MVP... and he didn't even play in NLCS at all! I thought about what @Unknøwnposted that Soler felt bad about missing NLCS and he really delivered. And we were without Soler and still won NLCS. Just incredible. putnam6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
