[Mr. French]

What a throw by Kirk.

 

[navery12]

Oh come on, he can move. This is the World Series and it was just a 1 run lead where you have to get through the Dodgers lineup for three more innings if it's a 9 inning game and possibly more innings. You need to leave your best players in the game especially already being down one of your best players

It was obvious he couldn't move when he was still standing on first base on a ball that 99% of players walk to 2B on for a double. He was coming out of the game because that's been the plan all series, it was a surprise he was even included on the roster. Not to mention he's playing out of position

 

[storrsroars]

aw, poor Shohei made a booboo!

But he got his nads massaged, so it's not all bad for him.

Yikes. That's not how you manage the World Series, or at least it never should be. You manage the moments and what's happening on the field.

 

[superjohn]

Blue Jays giving this one away.

 

[Mr. French]

gotta be kidding me.

 

[Scoe]

IKF scores there as a PR

 

[storrsroars]

Damn, was hoping Teo missed the cutoff because he'll do that.

Sigh, I know Schneider knows way more than me or any us but I don't like the way he is managing this game.

They've run out of players.

 

[storrsroars]

I smell a Freeman walkoff

 

[storrsroars]

They've run out of players.

How dare you disrespect Tyler Heinneman,

Davis Schneider is 55th percentile in sprint speed and IKF is 47th, so no, he likely does not

He steals 2nd so he does score.

 

[storrsroars]

He steals 2nd so he does score.

I had the "privilege" of watching IKF play through July with the Pirates. He likely gets thrown out at second.

The due factor would’ve been in his favor then so yes he most likely steals 2nd.

 

[Scoe]

Now it’s a wrap Ohtani due up 3rd

Shocked Freddie didn't end it.

 

[Scoe]

13th inning

Shocked Freddie didn't end it.

Just undernearth on that swing,Jays really need to score here great game so much better without the stupid ghost runner rule in regular season,

 

[superjohn]

This guy is supposed to be one of the best bunters in baseball? He looked like a little kid bunting for the first time.

I always hate that strategy bunt him over to 3rd not 2nd and don’t force the bunt with 2 strikes. Now no Kirk in lineup this has to be it here for the Jays it really does.

 

[storrsroars]

And you still get people saying baseball is as boring as watching paint dry.

 

[superjohn]

Sandy Koufax retired at 30, his accomplishments are silly...

View attachment 112722

The astounding thing with Koufax is he did almost all of that in just six seasons. With arthritis in the last two.

First six seasons: 6.7 WAR, 36-40 record, 4.10 ERA, 1.428 WHIP, 683 K, 405 BB (1.69 K/BB)

Final six seasons: 46.4 WAR, 128-47 record, 2.19 ERA, .970 WHIP, 1713 K, 412 BB (4.16 K/BB)

 

[storrsroars]

I don't know how the Jays are still in this game, but they are, and may now actually have the advantage with Lauer.
