This game is so predictable you knew Machado would get nothing to hit there Machado is like I'm hacking away anyways, trying to be the hero.

Another JBJ homer?

 

[Scoe]

Another JBJ homer?

Yep I saw it coming when Jansen wasnt changing location.

Baseball was cooler when it wasn't all arbitrary pitch counts and algorithms. Buehler was at 99 mph and not straining when he pulled him. There would be no Don Larsen, Jack Morris, or basically any other legendary pitching performance with these robots.

It is what it is. But worth noting that was the most pitches Buehler had thrown in any MLB game. He'd gone 105 twice before, never 108. Kid is talented and you assume you'll need him for Game 6. No reason to Dusty Baker him into early retirement. It's the one move Roberts made I can get behind.

If the kid had a few years experience under him, then maybe you take that risk and run him out in 8th.

fwiw, Morris went past 108 pitches 5x in postseason. He was 3-2 in those games. Certainly not automatic.

And 2014 MadBum says hi.

I hear you but you play to win this game, there isn't even a game 5 if they lose tonight.

So they just made up the Eric Gagne story?

I don’t know the Gagne story you speak of. He’s a simple cheater who couldn’t cheat anymore so what else do they speak of?

 

[Adios]

Sox barely have any pitchers left. That was dumb.

 

[Guapo]

Sox barely have any pitchers left. That was dumb.

Unless this game goes 20 innings, Evoldi and Polmaranz should be enough

Please don’t get to the point where Pomeranz enters the game. Once he does its over lol.

 

[LIuconn]

Very surprised Larry king is still in his seat

 

[Scoe]

The Dodgers would go down 1-2-3 against Pomeranz.

 

[LIuconn]

It always starts with a walk...

 

[Scoe]

It always starts with a walk...

I dont see it.

 

[superjohn]

Yankees will be dumb enough to get Machado.

 

[Adios]

What the beep happened? Game froze on ESPN's site.

 

[Adios]

Dayum.

 

[Adios]

All Kinsler has to do was get one out.

 

[storrsroars]

At this point, the turf in Dodger Stadium looks more like Ponky after a Saturday of steady play than an MLB field.

 

[Scoe]

OMG this is absolutely insane.

 

[superjohn]

When did Eovaldi turn into Scherzer?

 

[Scoe]

That base hit dont mean a thing if you dont get a run here.

 

[superjohn]

That base hit dont mean a thing if you dont get a run here.

No chance, these guys all try and hit a homer.

 

[Scoe]

No chance, these guys all try and hit a homer.

Yep their blowing their wad and you see Evoldi teasing Turner there.

 

[Scoe]

No chance, these guys all try and hit a homer.

Looks similar to the Yankees lineup.

 

[Adios]

Most innings ever played in a World Series game is tonight. Unfortunately.

 

[superjohn]

Looks similar to the Yankees lineup.

Exactly the same, Cashman is salivating at the thought of adding another guy who wants to be hero (Machado)

 

[superjohn]

Have a feeling Red Sox score a couple here and end this, want to go to bed.

 

[Marat]

Please Sox score and make this end.

 

[Adios]

Maeda is in. DOOMED!

 

[Scoe]

Sox will probably get 5 runs here.

 

[superjohn]

Sox will probably get 5 runs here.

Yep, about to be blown open.
