Worst umpire ever. And I am very tired of the FOX talking heads Astros fanboys announcing the game, enough already, we know who you guys want to win. Come on Dodgers, win this!
I hear people complain about Joe Buck all the time. It wasn't until he said "Unbelievable" to a HR I think that I finally started getting annoyed.
srs? the announcers seemed very reasonable to me. pretty sure dodgers fans should have no reason to complain about the tv guys after the supposedly neutral guys that did the divisional round.

I didn't see any favoritism toward either team by Joe Buck. If he's even the least bit biased, then it's usually when his St Louis Cardinals are involved.

yep, he seemed very fair. I remember in the series against arizona, the guys were spending an hour telling the whole life story of every dodger to ever play ... with an occasional "goldschmidt is pretty good." and this was TBS, not whatever the local channel is in LA. bellinger would make the most routine play in baseball history, and they'd make it sound like Machado's greatest defensive play ever. ... so if a Dodgers fan gets upset about some perceived bias from Joe Buck, I don't think s/he is going to get an ounce of sympathy from anyone outside of California.
So I heard on the radio that in 11 previous times where the team losing 3 games to 2, but heading back home for games 6 and 7, 9 times out of 11 that team losing 3 games to 2 forced a game 7. And of those 9 times in which a game 7 was played, 8 times the home team won.
Nomatter what happens tonight, I'm very thankful for this 2017 Dodger team. We won a 5th straight division title, that means for the last 5 years we've been given intense playoff baseball to watch. As a fan, that's all you can hope for. Other fanbases haven't had that privilege lately. Even great franchises like the Cardinals, Yankees, Red Sox can't boast that success of late.
Baseball is such a random game, with 160+ regular season games, making the playoffs is an accomplishment in itself. Obviously you want to win it all, but to get to the World Series and have a chance to survive a do-or-die game at home (because you earned it by having the best record), well that's plenty for me.
I think those great franchises like Cardinals, Red Sox, and Yankees would gladly take their recent WS even if it means missing the playoffs a few times.
Game 6 .. 3-1 Dodgers final!
Game 7.... here I come!
