MLB general postseason 2020 thread

saw somewhere that in kershaw's playoff career, the bullpen has allowed 70% of runners inherited from him to score (average seems to be about 41%)

Didn't know that was that high--obviously part of it. A lot of home runs, though.

Three ways I could see a pitcher pressing: over-thinking, second-guessing himself (related to the first), over-throwing. Same with a batter (substitute over-swinging), although I would think the mind games might affect a pitcher more.

With 11,000 people there, are the sounds I'm hearing actual (and only) crowd noise, or do they embellish?

Omg shut up about the free tacos.

pretty sure they embellish the sound. rays sticking with glasnow longer than i expected, although i guess turner will be his last batter

morbs is going to be furious about missing this game because no one started a world series thread

left him in way too long

Let’s see if they do the same with Kershaw.

Roberts can't possibly be insane enough to send Kershaw out, can he? You couldn't have a better situation to help him put this thing to rest. (Even if you end up losing the game, you'd still get something important in return...anyway, beginning to look moot.)

Yeah it’s safe to run him out there at this point

Don't get this at all. The difference between Kershaw leaving with a five-run lead after 5 or after 6 is nothing--either way, he pitched great. To give the Rays a chance to score a couple of runs next inning and bring to mind that again is pointless. I know you don't want to burn through the bullpen needlessly, but still.

Worked out ok!

It did, it did (6 pitches?). If Turner hadn't made that great play... (announcers pointed out Kershaw gave a rare smile).

he looks great, his pitch count was still very low and the dodgers pen only had one day off. i'd be tempted to let him start the 7th

I wouldn't--I'm going on the record!

Omg mookie

Mookie Betts.

What a game

Yeah no reason to bring Kershaw back.

Can't believe he took out Kershaw.

Jesus h Christ he almost threw it away

Is Globe Life the ugliest (exterior, at least) park in baseball now? It looks like a giant farm supply warehouse.

Indeed, it’s horrendous.

Love that the baseball world is united in mocking the Red Sox.

John Henry should have used the Mookie savings to sign another CB for Liverpool

Owners shouldn’t be allowed to own multiple teams.

here we go

hey we got a series how about that

daer fox i *might* be interested in a hitter's regular season stats; perhaps more interested in his postseason stats; absolutely don't care about his world series stats in 1.whatever games

sorry this hurts yr bellinger narrative

Was good seeing Lowe’s slump come to an end.

sorry guys, could we please focus on the elephant in the room...

who has the nicest ass in the WS?

asking for a friend :'''(

Not Dustin may.

kiermaier has the nicest front.

Whoever in the Rays org that was in charge of scouting Buehler did a pisspoor job.

: )

loving this buehler guy, just cranking high fastballs past everyone is one of the best pitching styles

who has the nicest ass in the WS?

we'll never know for sure but i feel like morbs would have been a chris taylor fan

corey seager: pretty good

randy arozarena was/is most likely a better overall player than bader or o'neill, so it was a bummer to see him go in the trade for liberatore.

Joe Suck, it would be ‘Broh-so’.

Speaking of suck, how many runs in the World Series has Baez has allowed in high leverage situations?

god imagine having a rooting interest in the Rays this game

Dodgers unstoppable with 2 outs and runners on

I know John Laurel and Joe Hardy keep repeating it in the booth but boy these two outs at bats by the Dodgers are ridiculous.

Perfect ending to one of the great games.

What an ending!

OH MY FUCKING GOD

Who are you Brett Phillips

that's an insane ending, oh man
