I actually remember watching this game on TV with my Dad. I think Felix Jose had an inside the park grand slam (or that might have been another game). But yeah, that was quite a comeback/meltdown. Also, I think later that same week the Blue Jays opened the Sky Dome (they were still playing in Exhibition Stadium until Sky Dome was complete).

Oh, good ...
This years playoffs won't be on TBS or TNT or USA or wherever, it will be on actual networks that have heard of baseball ...
JV's last outing of the Regular Season .... 2nd start after his injury.
5.0 innings, 0 hits, 0 runs, 1walk and 10 Strikeouts.
Astros were up 8-0 when JV left.

That’s just the Wildcard round. TBS will have the ALDS and ALCS and FOX/FS1 will have the NLDS and NLCS. The World Series is on OTA FOX as usual.
Yep, he is definitely raring to go in the postseason. Now he will get a full 7 days rest before Game 1 of the LDS.
Oddly, most of the year, the Astros have been on 5 or 6 days rest for everyone ... they have been running a 5 or 6 man rotation for most of the year.
I think they figured out who was going to be the Odd man out come playoff time when one of them started warming up as relief the other night.
Fwiw, JV gave up 1 walk and 1 other Astros pitcher has also given up 1 walk and thats it folks ... in the ninth.
edit: I did it again, they bring in a new pitcher to pitch the ninth and gives up the 1st 2 hits of the game.

I’m signing up for YouTube TV just so I can get the ALDS and ALCS. I have Fubo which doesn’t carry the Turner networks.
Some interesting choices for announcers by ESPN for the Wildcard Series:
Rays at Indians- Jon Sciambi and Doug Glanville
Mariners at Blue Jays- Dave Flemming, Jessica Mendoza and Tim Kurkjian
Phillies at Cardinals- Michael Kay and Alex Rodriquez
Padres at Mets- Karl Ravech, David Cone and Eduardo Perez

Hopefully Don Orsillo will be calling some of the TBS games.
Same here. DO has called some games for FOX also, so maybe he could get one of the NLDS assignments? I have no idea who FOX has for a “B” team behind Joe Davis and John Smoltz.
One of the Padres better signings over the last few years.
Very tough season for the Red Sox came to an end today. Another last place finish (that’s 4 since 2012) is unacceptable for a team that’s won 4 World Series since 2004. At least they finished the season with a 3 game sweep of the Rays, and it was also quite an emotional day today. Both Xander Bogaerts and J.D.Martinez got pulled from the game and received standing ovations from the Fenway crowd. I’m still very hopeful that the Red Sox come to their senses and get a deal for Bogaerts wrapped up. They already let Mookie Betts get away. Do not let another home grown talent get away, and that also goes for Rafael Devers next off-season. As far as JD goes, one could argue he was the best lucrative free agent signing in Red Sox history. If it wasn’t for his teammate, Mookie Betts, JD was easily the AL MVP in 2018 (just look at his numbers that year). He was arguably the one move that pushed the Red Sox to a dominant wire to wire World Series championship. And then there’s Dennis Eckersley who retired from the Red Sox NESN booth, and walked away from the game he loved after 50 years in baseball. Eck was a treasure that will be surely missed. And now it’s on to the MLB playoffs and the new format. I for one think it’s going to be a very exiting postseason. Baseball will continue for another month, but my home team will not.

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone."
