WS Game 7: A Curse Dies and a Curse Continues

[rembrat]

The Tito hook has been pretty pretty slow.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Fowler is en fuego. GJGE Baltimore!

 

[troparra]

I want to see Cleveland score a couple more. Make the cubs fans really earn it.

Me too, but I feel like it will be 9-3 soon

 

[rajendra82]

Miller looks like his pre Valentine self.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Playoff Francoma

 

[GregHarris]

Tito, this is game 7, no need to save anyone.

 

[LogansDad]

Terry??? Terry????!!!

 

[Ale Xander]

Indians need to sign Bernie Carbo to a 3 inning contract.

Or Keith Hernandez

 

[DanoooME]

Yeah, it's Chuck Knoblauch disease.

Or, depending on your age, Steve Sax disease or Steve Blass disease.

 

[garlan5]

I think we might be playing up the concussion angle a bit. He has concerns perhaps more than most, but he wasn't hit by a bat, foul ball or errant 100 mph fastball. It was a bounced pitch that caught him. Not saying that couldn't affect a guy with Grandpa Rossi's history, but not the most vicious of blows.

I'm not sure either but he did fall backwards in a rather dazed fashion

 

[Hagios]

Playoff Tito rode one pitcher and one reliever for 2 3/4ths of the playoffs

 

[Leather]

It's Steve Sax Syndrome, dammit.

 

[GregHarris]

Or Keith Hernandez

Nice game, pretty boy.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Really? I mean, lets say he held it too long. Kluber was clearly struggling and that throw isn't the difference in the game. I would say that Tito is even vindicated because his pitching looks gassed overall.

Tito pitched everyone on short rest. That resulted in a lot of the gassing

 

[ifmanis5]

Or, depending on your age, Steve Sax disease or Steve Blass disease.

Don't forget Mackey Sasser.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

It's Steve Sax Syndrome, dammit.

Butch Wynegar Syndrome
Edit: i meant Mackey sasser

 

[cromulence]

He got his feet tangled.

 

[glasspusher]

Miller at 42 pitches. His last inning?

 

[rembrat]

He got his feet tangled.

With the dirt?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I guess I can get that Lester can't throw to first for a pickoff throw, but I feel like it should be a much bigger story that the guy literally can't field a grounder or a bunt either. I mean, how do they not talk about it constantly while he pitches? Why don't opponents bunt it at him more often? So many questions.

 

[Beomoose]

No trainer to look at Fowler's arm? Maddon? Bueller?

 

[Ale Xander]

Paging Cory Allen

 

[GregHarris]

Joe Buck is no Lou Brown.

 

[ifmanis5]

Weird seeing Sheen not with a porn star.

 

[Ale Xander]

And there he is

Dude probably got lazy.

 

[staz]

Shockingly, Sheen is drunk.

 

[Ale Xander]

Weird seeing Sheen not with a porn star.

No respectable pornstar would ever go to Cleveland

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Charlie Sheen looks like he's on something enjoyable tonight.

 

[Remagellan]

How many rockets does Miller have to save up before Tito pulls him?

I guess we have the answer.

 

[Soxfan in Fla]

Weird seeing Sheen not with a porn star.

She was blowing a dude in the can.

 

[ngruz25]

I want to declare in this thread that I was really bummed when the Sox traded Rizzo. I KNEW he would be as good as Gonzalez, but at the time, I felt like I would have been ridiculed for suggesting that.

Sax had his issues prior to Sasser being in the league.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Baseball is the best sport by far. The least predictable, the most thoughtful. I'll never get tired of it.

 

[glasspusher]

Who looks older - David Ross or Tom Brady?

I can't make a judgement on this until I see Ross' woman.

 

[C4CRVT]

Dude probably got lazy.

Chicken and beer ruined his throws to first. Forever.

You should have more self-confidence.

 

[johnmd20]

Indians really have to keep this 6-3.

better living through chemistry

 

[rajendra82]

Bryant has that J D. drew vibe.

Eddie Robinson.

Joe Buck is no Lou Brown.

Is it true that movie was actually filmed in Milwaukee?

 

[JohntheBaptist]

I think Tito's strategy of riding the elite arms in the wake of pitching staff injuries with playoff increase in days off was a good one, even if it was risky.

But he's been too slow with the hook in this game a couple times. Probably because he knows his guys are basically dead, but tack on runs against tired pitchers are killing them in this game.

 

[DanoooME]

Is it true that movie was actually filmed in Milwaukee?

Yes

 

[Soxfan in Fla]

Eddie Robinson.

I was thinking Roger Dorn.

 

[GregHarris]

Is it true that movie was actually filmed in Milwaukee?

Yeah, you can tell by the big ass speakers that ole Milwaukee County Stadium had in center.

My issue with the strategy is that Tomlin and Bauer aren't elite arms. They're far from sure things on full rest, less so on short rest. You have Merritt and Salazar for Game 5, which could have changed everything.

That and the Milwaukee TV network call sign on the scoreboard that they never changed or covered up.

Phil Plantier squat.
