IST 2019: ALDS — HOU vs TBR vs MIN shortcomings

[MFS62]

Last time I looked it was 4-1 Astros.

I was listening on radio driving home from work.

But the radio announcer (I don't know which one) said something I hadn't heard or read before.

He said that a ball hit to left wasn't a home run because the baseballs used in the playoffs are different from those used during thr regular season.

Has anyone else heard that?

Go 'Stros. Still the best shot of whose left at beating the MFY's, if you ask me.



"Most" anything "in postseason history" records are the dumbest. They added so many games! Just stifle all that.

Houston's first four batters of the game scored but they don't have a hit since!

Well, there y'are.
