MLB. And here comes the Post Season!

The Game Room
961

Agreed that he shouldn’t have bunted, but the way that Baez has been so prone to swinging at crap I’m not sure he could have done anything other than strike out anyway.

And some good baserunning there on the deep fly.

962

Bryant juuuust missed that one. Heads up baserunning…

963

I’m glad I don’t have a dog in this game. It seems stressful

964

3-2 count. Hard to throw junk in that situation.

965

Sure, not complete junk. But my point was more that Baez has not been swinging well all series.

And the big RBI double!

So, how does Maddon screw up the pitching in the bottom of the 10th?

966

Hell yeah!!!

967

Damn!

968

So…who pitches the bottom of the 10th? It seriously can’t be Chapman again, right?

969

Zobrist is one of four guys in this Series I saw play in the minors–in his case short-season A ball. Nice to see him come through.

970

I can’t even with this game anymore.

I’m living and dying with every pitch

971

Question: (since I don’t watch many games) - does scoring typically get easier the longer the game goes on in extra innings, since the quality of pitchers is lower and/or the pitching arms are tired-er?

972

8-6!!!

973

I’ve said it before and shall once again: intentional walks are stupid.

974

…At this rate, Chapman might pitch more innings than Hendricks.

975

In truth this would require some research, but my personal impression is quite the opposite.

976

This is one of the best games I’ve ever seen. What a roller coaster.

977

Trevor Bauer?

Why?

978

I’m not RickJay, and will never claim to be, but I’ve watched my fair share of baseball over my 30 years of living.

This is single greatest game I have ever watched. Not necessarily because of quality or management or anything like that, but by each teams sheer force of will to not give up, to keep fighting no matter the situation, and just their nevergiveuptitute.

I’m so sad that one of these teams has to lose.

979

It can, but it often doesn’t go long enough to really be a factor. And, of course, it only takes one run by either team. It gets more interesting in the NL, because there are more defensive changes thanks to the double switch.

I remember the 18-inning game a couple years ago. It was hilarious–FOX (I think it was on FS1) kept running a crawl that their MMA coverage was currently airing on FS2 (which I got then, I don’t now on a different cable provider) during the game. It ran so long that they stopped running the crawl because the game went longer than the MMA coverage.

God, why was Hayward swinging at that junk?

980

yeah, THIS is a Game 7
