There are not a ton of sports players that I wish horrible fates upon (Michael Vick is definitely on the top of the wish list for horrible fates). But after watching Verlander laugh and goof off in the dug out while the Astros were beating the Nats in DC, last night's win was beautiful. Astros may still win this, but he didn't help them at all. And that is delicious.

Best parts of the night imo. Baseball needs more of this
Soto is 21. He is definitely helping usher in a new era of more fun baseball. It's great!
Yea the broadcasters made sure to say his age every chance they got. He handled how to respond to a perceived slight perfectly. Even tho hes a Nat, he gained a fan in me last night

The real mistake was that they made Rendon angry.
And Stras stopped tipping his pitches.

This is spot on:
”The interference call was like getting pulled over for driving one mile per hour over the speed limit, a showily petty bit of legal literalism that contravenes a lifetime of lived normative experience. On some level, it’s got to feel worse than having an umpire actually blow a call, and ought to be confronted with such force as to get a manager kicked out of a close World Series game.”

The Trea Turner Interference Call Didn’t Swing Game 6—but It Will Go Down As the Defining, Bewildering Image of the 2019 World Series
The controversial seventh-inning ruling upended the contest between the Nationals and Astros, sparking a managerial ejection, a postgame rule book reading, and more questions than answers

Agree 100%. I was disappointed that Bregman felt the need to play Mr. Old School after the game (although I was trending towards actively disliking him anyway).

Bregman apologizes for carrying bat after HR
Nationals outfielder Juan Soto carried his bat to first base after hitting a home run in the fifth inning, copying Astros third baseman Alex Bregman, who did the same after his first-inning homer.

'Depressed' Astros fans drive down Game 7 prices
Ticket prices for Game 7 of the World Series have been falling since the Nationals beat the Astros 7-2 on Tuesday, with the cheapest seats on the secondary market going for $337, according to a spokesperson from VividSeats.com.
It is the top of the 2nd and I think the announcers have reminded us of soto's age approximately 85 times already

Good catch by Soto to end the second. Does anyone know how old that guy is?

You know, McCarver and Morgan were absolute fucking gibbering morons but at least they had an ethos, man. Smoltz just says a bunch of nonsense.
