Texas Fall/Winter thread!

Love baseball but they could speed it up. Never understood the batter having to undo his batting gloves and retighten after every pitch.

We often watch "Blue Jays in 30", where they basically only show the action shots. Saves a lot of time!

Guess Y'all just don't get the game as deep as some of us. I love to watch pitchers try to outwit the batter with pitch changes. It really is a mind game. Batters tugging on their gloves is the way the batter can break the pitcher's rhythm and concentration. I know, that's as clear as mud.

I find the back and forth between pitcher and batter really interesting. Now basketball ...... that’s the real yawner IMHO.

Astros really need to win tonight so, they can close out the WS in MM Park.

I liked basketball when I was a kid, but not anymore. If they'd change the rules to create a penalty for touching the goal ( basket, rim, net, or any part of the goal) so that they had to learn to "shoot" I'd probably be a fan.

Ok, I'm watching the Astros and the first thing I notice is SPIT. What's with the spitting. The pitcher throws the ball, spits, the catcher throws it back, pitcher spits again, meanwhile the batter steps out of the box, spits, then the pitchers spits just spit spit spit, it a wonder it's not a rain out.

Maybe they got it from Reggie Jackson

I carved out a Sweetgum tree and another Jack-O-Lantern this weekend.
