THERE'S ONLY ONE POSTSEASON (thread for 2019)

Severino missing w/ every changeup, sez C Singleton

action in the bullpen

33 pitches and counting

Loving these 9pm start games here in the UK.

I wish more guys--as the situation warrants, like right now--would do what Judge just did.

if the Nats do wind up winning the World Series that would be the first real example of Bill Simmons' Ewing Theory actually coming true yes?

Had to look that up...The best example I can think of, even if they didn't win everything, would be the post-Griffey-Johnson-Rodriguez '01 Mariners. They must be a cornerstone of his theory.

i'm gonna stick w/ my cornerstone belief that Bill Simmons is a dope

They were talking about this the other night, and it's hard to miss: Judge looks overmatched on breaking stuff low and away. (Hard for most hitters, but they said his height is a real problem on those pitches.)

Well, if you liked "James Paxton goes 2 1/3," I've got a ballgame for you...

yeah the theory is garbage - it doesn't even really apply to Patrick Ewing - but it's kinda fun to talk about. obviously will have to be renamed Bryce Harper theory after this

Past a twisting/drifting/roaming Gardner.

i imagine simmons is only dimly aware of the situation, as it involves neither the NBA nor boston teams

cole's first four-walk game of the season

if they were using the regular season ball it would probably be 3-2 Yanks now lol

bold move to bring severino back out, at 90 pitches, to face altuve/brantley/bregman a third time

that is a Ned Yost move if I've ever seen one let's see how it plays out

doesn't seem like it should take kerwin danley this much time to put his gear on

ottavino really fell apart at the wrong time

i feel like the 2019 cardinals thing to do is win 2 games in WAS and then lose the 6th in STL

we'll need the extra two games to fully learn about ozuna's defense

lol Sanchez really can't block balls in the dirt

He’s not the defender he once was

Whoa.

wow x5

Cardinals need to put up 2 runs so they can at least say they scored more runs on the Nathan than the Brewers

Nats will have a nice week's rest

Earned runs remain bullshit.

ok that jose martinez play was peak 2019 cardinals, it was almost admirable, the dedication

4 more to beat the record

think i'm gonna watch the Criterion supplements to Chaplin's The Circus

The Nationals have scored first in every game.

They haven't trailed for one pitch of any game.

Only one team has ever swept a best-of-7 series when it scored first and never lost the lead in any game - the Orioles in the 1966 World Series.

Looks like they'll have company!

Patrick Corbin of the @Nationals is the first pitcher in MLB postseason history to have 10 strikeouts through 4 innings of a game.#STAYINTHEFIGHT

Slightly interesting

it's a game now

Getting out of the first inning allowing five runs instead of seven is starting to seem like it would have been an important thing.

ok what is the fucking shark shit about

Baby shark is a song

baby shark

^^^That version has over 3.6B views, all versions total over 5B. I think only 3 other songs have more views in the history of youtube.

At least the rally monkey was original

here's your chance Paul

oooo its getting good folks

congrats, nats! they arguably outplayed the cardinals in this series

Didn't occur to me that the Senators hadn't been in the WS since 1933!
