What a great moment for drama! down by 3, first two batters reach, and... oh wait, it's the pitcher up. He fouls out on 3 failures to bunt.

Fucking great. NL baseball forever.

Buehler got that high-inside-corner call that Strasburg didn't, the other inning.

Robot umps. Can't wait.
And strike two to Zimmerman in the sixth was also bullshit.

But the Dodgers are a bigger market than DC, so MLB is ok with those “mistakes”

It why the NL playoffs are for determining who will lose the World Series.

I mean, I don't like it either, man, but c'mon... Hanlon's Razor that 'un.

Last 20 WS are 11-9 to the AL.

I was surprised too.

I nominate Buehler as Bulldog 2.0. He even looks a bit like Orel.
I like this comp. Similar build and height. If Buhler is as effective as Hershiser was at his peak, that would be something. Walker has nastier raw stuff imho but Orel had good stuff AND was crafty as hell.

Would you guys take Buehler or Flaherty on the Sox next year? That’s a choice not a yes or no question.

They’re really going to put Kershaw in here?
It makes me feel like a bit of a jerk, but I can’t help but think it’ll be funny if he gives up a 3 run Bomb here.
