the veracity of the 'called shot' remains a Question

which is crazy
one great mythical act of showmanship is willed into existence while the showmanship of a 20 year old dominican is threatening western society as we know it

You're only allowed, what, two upheld appeals? That Eaton play looked close.
― clemenza, Thursday, 31 October 2019 00:14 (six years ago)
The Nats had a plan to come out swinging against Greinke. Not bad --shock and awe is their best chance of winning this game.

Man, George Will accusing someone of preening is rich.
― tobo73, Thursday, 31 October 2019 00:22 (six years ago)
xp agreed.
Whereas Astros were a little more patient than usual vs Scherzer.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 31 October 2019 00:23 (six years ago)
One can only dream, but game might actually finish before midnight at this pace. (I swear Scherzer was into his windup on one pitch--or at least that pre-windup thing where he holds the ball above his head--before Brantley was in the box.)

(Mind you, I forgot that we're going to see 37 pitchers.)

wonder who the last guy to throw a 68mph pitch in the WS was? Kershaw has an eephus.

That ballpark is dumb

thank yew Chirinos

Gurriel has quietly had a good series -- on both sides of the ball.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 31 October 2019 00:41 (six years ago)
How dumb was that bunt attempt?
Glad they only scored one run.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 31 October 2019 00:44 (six years ago)
HAHT ATTACK
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 31 October 2019 00:44 (six years ago)
At 3-0, I thought Scherzer was intentionally non-intentionally walking Springer...lucky, lucky.
― clemenza, Thursday, 31 October 2019 00:44 (six years ago)
Springer tattooed that pitch. The Astros have had a lot of hard hit outs in the series.
Scherzer is throwing hard but hasn't had good command. He was lucky to give up only the one run.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 31 October 2019 00:47 (six years ago)
His fastball control is okay, the slider is eluding him.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 31 October 2019 00:51 (six years ago)
man, you got to step out, or anything, before you let Greinke have that quick an inning.
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 31 October 2019 00:51 (six years ago)
Rooting interest aside, I loved when Correa poked that single through the shift; he set up what could've/should've been a big inning.
― clemenza, Thursday, 31 October 2019 00:52 (six years ago)
That strike 2 96mph fastball on Bregman was dope.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:00 (six years ago)
Scherzer is Fistering.
― Andy K, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:07 (six years ago)
The Nats are lucky that the ball is dejuiced in the postseason.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:07 (six years ago)
I usually don’t care about ‘left on base’, it’s a weird broadcaster obsession, but tonight i’ll take it.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:07 (six years ago)
I'm watching the Buck Martinez feed, which has very lively audio (twice as loud as the Smoltz feed for some reason)--don't remember hearing a pitcher grunt like Max. I'm watching Wimbledon.
― clemenza, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:08 (six years ago)
Greinke’s grunting loudly too. Enjoying this grunt-off. Greinke has good stuff tonight, too

valiant effort by Scherzer but given the hard-hit balls and lack of swings and misses, probably time to Max out— Jay Jaffe (@jay_jaffe) October 31, 2019

Greinke -- the one man infield.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:13 (six years ago)
Greinke catch was dope.

Just tuned in.
Let's go Nationals

gotta have a guy ready vs Altuve here
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:27 (six years ago)
Playing with fire.
― Andy K, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:28 (six years ago)
They have 5 innings left with Corbin/Hudson/Doolittle in the pen. Dunno about keeping Scherzer.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:30 (six years ago)
Greinke’s grunting loudly too.
Noticed that the next half-inning and felt stupid. Have I just been oblivious to that all these years?
We see so many great pitchers have their postseason troubles, it'd be nice to see both these guys leave with the score 1-0 or 1-1.
― clemenza, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:31 (six years ago)
If the Astros lose, these blown chances to score are going to haunt them.

Bunt to win.
― Andy K, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:39 (six years ago)
Give me a break on these Zimmerman calls.
― clemenza, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:40 (six years ago)
yeah the second strike was way off.

Did Scherzer threaten Martinez’s life?
― Andy K, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:46 (six years ago)
Cole I hope you have the energy of game 7 2016 Jon Lester and not of game 7 2014 Bumgarner.

WAKE UP DAVEY
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:46 (six years ago)
The strikeout pitch to Bregman was the best pitch he's thrown all game.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:49 (six years ago)
Rendon was so freaking close
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:56 (six years ago)

Last batter Scherzer pitches to, please
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 31 October 2019 02:01 (six years ago)
Washington's lucky it's only 2-0. (And unlucky Cole awaits.)
I'll regret these words, but I can't envision Osuna getting the last out in a 7th WS game. If I were Hinch, I'd be working towards Cole closing out the game and using Osuna earlier.
