Huge HR for Riley to win it for the Braves!

Eff the Yankees.

Yankees all the way!

 

[jabber]

Astros got this.


I will be happy if they win one game in the first series. Not expecting to do much more than that.

Got what I expected from them. Oh well, at least the Cowboys won't let me down!

Going to hear about the roof for the rest of the series.

Did they use statcast or anything to show it would have been a Homer? Now that is what you truly call home field advantage!

I used my eyeballs and yes- that was a bomb homer if not for the roof. Wow.

From my view, I didn't see it as a Homer and also may have gone foul. I really would love to see the stat cast

France hit the ball off the bat at 105.3 mph and a 49-degree launch angle. Even after hitting the roof, it traveled 325 feet and, according to Statcast estimates, would've been a home run in one MLB ballpark -- Daikin Park in Houston. That said, it's very hard to hit a ball out of the park at such a steep launch angle. As Timothy Burke posted on Bluesky, no ball in the Statcast era that had an exit velocity of 105 mph and a launch angle of 49 degrees has ever been a home run. The batted balls with those traits have a batting average of .037 and, again, no home runs.
