Pierzynski has been OK when he talks nuts & bolts with Girardi, but then he comes out with stuff like "The Rays have gotta do something."

Finally can watch, so I saw Cole's 8th.
I'll be very unfashionably old-school here: give him one baserunner in the 9th (or one really long AB). He's thrown 107 pitches, but he sure didn't look like he was throwing tired.

He was tipping his pitches based on his glove height. When Glasnow brought the ball to his mitt, he positioned his hands at the height of his collar bone before delivering a fastball, and he lowered it a couple of inches before a curveball.
for sure, but remember too their camera shenaningans from playoffs last year. That's a mighty impressive record you have at home there!

definitely feels like either of the AL teams could beat either of the NL teams pretty handily

Astros vs Nationals would be a good one, Yanks vs Cards would be a no-win situation.
― omar little, Friday, 11 October 2019 15:46 (four years ago) link
They'd have to stretch Scherzer and Strasburg to the breaking point (if that's even possible), but I wouldn't be shocked if the Nationals go on to win it all. They strike me as made-to-order for one of those postseason miracle teams.

Gotten over the idea of quitting baseball fandom since Friday night... Upper-deck Sec. 11 had the most cretinous, drunken crowd I’ve been subjected to in 37 seasons of going to Shea. Abusing Cardinal fans, standing at random points, beer after beer -- my friend saw some fool in a Yankee jersey midgame get bathed with the contents of ketchup and mustard tubs at the concessions (victim was so shitfaced he found it hilarious and invited folks to put cigarettes out on him) ...Plus the Mets would NOT let ticketholders watch BP from the field boxes if you had a ticket for another level (as they do in the regular season), so fuck them (and "God Bless America"), no more postseason attendance for me.
Also, last row of the section = wind blowing directly on you for 5 hours.
Nice touch: Psycho theme on PA when LaRussa comes out to mound.
I don't wanna see Trachsel throw another pitch.
