I'm not convinced that Pollock reached out and grabbed him. When I look at the replay, I see a collision at 3rd base and then as soon as Bregman turns around to go fetch the ball, Pollock also scrambles to get up and his arm gets tangled in his leg. What makes it look like it was intentional was the fact that Pollock was looking at where the baseball was so he could decide if he should continue to run home or not. This made it appear like Pollock was looking at Bregman and attempting to cause obstruction. I could be completely wrong though.

I can certainly understand the Astros argument and honestly its just one of those plays that is up to the Umps discretion, and they lost this one. This play still does not discredit the fact that they lost by two runs, so it didn't matter anyways.

All of the endemic class and grace of Orange County nicely embodied by one poorly punctuated online diatribe. Cheers!

It's a little trash talk following a series win. No need to attack my character with an inaccurate regional generalization.

Shohei Ohtani, who drew plenty of boos for spurning the Mariners to sign with the Angels in December, finished 2-for-4 with an RBI double to lift his batting average to .339 on the season.

"I'm not really used to being booed," Ohtani said through interpreter Ippei Mizuhara. "It was probably my first time, so it felt kind of awkward and a little weird."

Class and grace....

I think the ump was also at a bad angle to see Pollock's pushoff. Safe/out calls on the bases are reviewable, I think they need to make a play like this reviewable in the future. Managers are given just one review per game so if they want to use it on a play like this why not? It shouldn't slow the game down any more and it will get the call right (more often than not)

Taking two of three from the defending champs when you got absolutely decimated in game one is prettay, prettay, prettay good.

These are the kind of games the 2017 Cards lost instead of won. Even more important to do it head-to-head against the Cubs.

I'm assuming any team that trades for or claims Harvey can't demote him either? Because if he's not willing to go to the minors to work his shit out I'm not so sure he's worth a flyer.

I dunno why the Stros are doing so badly. We can't hit for shit. Against any decent pitcher we get our shit kicked in. Dodgers are doing even worse. Wtf happened? They were machines last season; just plain fucking machines.

the dodgers are crippled with injuries (and were due for regression to begin with). the astros are just in a slump, and they've been unlucky in the sense that their run differential should have resulted in more wins.

I was looking down last night out behind the bullpens in left field at Petco when Matt Adams hit that ridiculous home run and I knew just from the sound of it that is was obliterated. Last time I remember hearing a crack like that was Barry back in the day.
