2019 WS - Nationals vs. Astros - Gamethread

[Bellhorn]

What is the other one?

Hal Smith, 1960.

 

[Flynn4ever]

Like Correa, but I liked the gift as well.

 

[twibnotes]

Is umpiring really this hard?

Must be bc this guy is the top rated homeplate ump in baseball

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Hal Smith, 1960.

Ahh, thanks.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Heart of the Astros order will get a shot in the 9th.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Browns fans are probably just drunk at this point.

 

[uncannymanny]

Cmon Patty

 

[crystalline]

Oh my god, Joe, he was out by 30 feet.

Could have made it close if he didn't dog it

edit: also Joe Buck sucks, no question.

 

[jon abbey]

Players Age 21 or Younger with 7 RBI in a single World Series:

Juan Soto (2019)
Mickey Mantle (1953)

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Smoltz it's 4-2, not 10-2. the game isn't over.

 

[simplicio]

This guy had the best ump numbers all season, really can't wait for the electronic zone.

Funny thing is he's absolutely nailed some strikes that catchers did their absolute best to give away, just to basically close his eyes on others.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

What a job by Corbin.

 

[redsoxcentury]

2019 Corbin = 2017 Morton

 

[ifmanis5]

Corbin my man.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

3 outs to go

 

[phrenile]

Sit.

 

[uncannymanny]

Fucking assassin. Looks pretty good out of the pen @jon abbey

 

[mikeot]

3

 

[jon abbey]

Incredible job by Corbin, wow.

 

[canderson]

Corbin is the man.

 

[pokey_reese]

If they win, I want the papers to declare that the Expos have finally won a championship

 

[Sam Ray Not]

I’m mildly for the Nats in this one, but I can’t believe a league with replay allows a pitch six inches off the plate to be called a strike in that situation. That was an absolutely huge K.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Yankees could've had Corbin if they went to a 6th year.

 

[rajendra82]

I am so glad the Yankees pitched to Altuve instead of Marisnoodlebat.

 

[mauidano]

Scherzer and Corbin both battled. Great innings!

 

[Plympton91]

Corbin earns his entire contract in 3 innings.

 

[BornToRun]

That’s the thing about October that’s so special, watching people become legends in real time. Corbin is a really good pitcher but did anybody expect him to become some postseason superhero when this year began?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Fuck it, keep him rolling.

Ok maybe not.

 

[dhappy42]

Must be bc this guy is the top rated homeplate ump in baseball

Only explanation is that it’s a sidearm lefty throwing across the plate

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Holy shit what a fucking pitch.

Can Martinez just say “we’re good, let’s play the bottom of the ninth right now” and keep Corbin out there?

 

[E5 Yaz]

I'd like another run or two, Nats

 

[LogansDad]

That last pitch should have a gif of it beside the word "filth" in all dictionaries going forward.

 

[Ale Xander]

What a performance by Corbin

 

[Seabass]

Corbin for the ninth right?

 

[crystalline]

That was a pretty nice breaking ball

 

[Plympton91]

the scxirpt's flipped, now the nats are getting generous calls

Ump is in a hurry for the offseason.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

44 pitches. If you had a good closer it's an easy call, but Hudson is anything but.

 

[Lowrielicious]

Corbin doing what Cole should have had a chance to do.

 

[jon abbey]

That’s the thing about October that’s so special, watching people become legends in real time. Corbin is a really good pitcher but did anybody expect him to become some postseason superhero when this year began?

I mean, he was the highest paid FA SP, 6/140 is a lot. But to answer your question, no.

 

[BornToRun]

That last pitch should have a gif of it beside the word "filth" in all dictionaries going forward.

Would Sale getting Machado be the gif placed next to “justice”?

 

[Plympton91]

Corbin for the ninth right?

No. He’s been once around the lineup. He’s on 3 days rest. Doolittle has been nails since he came off the DL. Use your closer in the 9th.

 

[strek1]

Booth guys acting like this is a done deal. Don't jinx it boys. This is hardly an insurmountable lead with the guys coming up in the 9th.

 

[InstaFace]

Meatball marinara just went by

the batter was Touched By His Noodly Appendage.

 

[patinorange]

Holy shit what a fucking pitch.

Can Martinez just say “we’re good, let’s play the bottom of the ninth right now” and keep Corbin out there?

Managers. He’ll bring in a closer. It’s what they do.

 

[Ale Xander]

Players Age 21 or Younger with 7 RBI in a single World Series:

Juan Soto (2019)
Mickey Mantle (1953)

eh.
Steve Pearce isn't that young but he had 8 in 5 games last year.

 

[jon abbey]

"The Astros have not won a single game this season when trailing after eight innings. They are 0-55."

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

I am so glad the Yankees pitched to Altuve instead of Marisnoodlebat.

The phrase is, “so FUCKING glad.”

 

[gedman211]

We're going to have self-driving heli-taxis before we have robot umps and a pitch clock

 

[nolasoxfan]

Smoltz it's 4-2, not 10-2. the game isn't over.

Reason #2 why I’m watching the Spanish language broadcast.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Two righties and a lefty due up for Astros, correct?
