What a World Series

[schuele]

I'm pulling for the Astros, but regardless of who wins this series it has been tremendously exciting.

good game. Back and forth. Lots of bombs.

 

[Toms Wife]

This Dodger pitching is really bad...and the umps strike zone is huge.

Crazy finish last night, couldn't stay to the end though. Can Verlander close it out?

 

[mwulf]

Hopefully MLB does something about the ball next season...This year was all k's and homers...13-12 is 90s level CWS stuff

the ball was juiced all year and apparently some players are saying its juiced even more for the series.

Pitchers saying ball is slicker than in regular season. Stros had 2 hits the night before in their loss. Crazy for sure.

Here's proof the ball is loaded this year.

Move to the West Coast. You can watch the Whole game and still get up to go to work.

Agree. Multiple epic baseball games. Makes me want to watch. I hate baseball on TV, but live, is fantastic. Hot dogs, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer...piss

Who you have tonight, Verlander has been fantastic, hoping for a game 7 though. Don't want the season to end Smokin

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

seems like we deserve a game 7 here, doesn't it? There's nothing like it. I'm still in recovery from last year.

What is great is two 100+ win teams playing very good. You can't ask for much more than that

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Another great game tonight. Nice to see Tony Watson pitching well.

 

[schuele]

I think A.J. Hinch spit the bit when he didn't pinch hit for Reddick with two runners in scoring position, none out and Verlander on deck. You knew if Reddick did not produce any runs there, Hill had a good chance to work out of the inning. Should have treated that situation with more urgency and put a RH hitter up.

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

I'm guessing they'd have walked either Gattis or Beltran if the Astros PH those guys. Verlander should prob just take 3 strikes to stay out of the double play and then you have Morrow vs. Springer and Bergman. Yeah, I'd prob prefer that if I'm the Stros and they can just put Maybin in for Defense there. Reddick is also the least clutch hitter in baseball.

Can't wait for tonight, going to be wild witH all arms available except prob the 2 starters last night. Darvish needs a better start though.

 

[mwulf]

I think tonight is rather routine for the Dodgers..Feel like Darvish will have karma on his side and will be rather dominant for 6 Kershaw (October Kershaw is trash but November Kershaw will be great) will come in for 2 then Jansen to close it out ...something like 5 or 6-1..Living out here I REALLY am rooting for the Astros but it just seems like its LA's turn....spend 250+million it damn well should be

 

[mwulf]

Somewhat nailed this one.. Just flipped the teams

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

two years in a row, i picked the winner pre season.

That's nothing. I've done it three years in a row.

Yeah I thought about that but as you point out, it still would have been better than letting Reddick hit. Even if Verlander hits into a DP, they at least get one run (assuming it's not a home-to-first DP).
