2023 WS Game/Discussion Thread: 2021 100+ Game Loser Edition

[Ale Xander]

Replying to myself, but an even better example is going to be when Bochy gets in and Madison Bumgarner doesn't come close. I mean, huh?

That WS record (36 IP, 1 R) will never be matched but he has 134 career wins,
Never being top 3 in CY

Bochy's teams have won 95 games just once in 26 years of managing.

 

[Ale Xander]

Dammit, I didn't miss the intros? Forgot about it, watched Heat Celtics waste of time stuff.

Dirtbiking his career into the ground was a real loss for the sport.

 

[Ale Xander]

I love this shit.

 

[Ale Xander]

No powder blues?

 

[loshjott]

Still...all things considered; NOTHING is better than going to a World Series game with your dad. I'm sure he feels the same way.

Going with your son is great too! I went with my son to Game 4 in DC in 2019 and it was awesome, despite the result on the field.

 

[LogansDad]

I'm going Rangers in 7. I think this is going to be an awesome series, there are two really fun, really good baseball teams.

 

[Ale Xander]

Eovaldi!
Why can't . . .

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

H.E.R got that Whitney Houston voice.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Baseball is the only sport I watch. Do other sports games begin with the national anthem?

 

[Ale Xander]

Great anthem
I usually skip them but not for her

 

[LogansDad]

Baseball is the only sport I watch. Do other sports games begin with the national anthem?

Yes, unfortunately.

 

[Ale Xander]

Baseball is the only sport I watch. Do other sports games begin with the national anthem?

Yes pretty much all

 

[Ale Xander]

43 is quite good in this environment

‘Murica!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Yes, unfortunately.

I like the anthem, but I don't like the pro forma use of patriotism.

 

[Ale Xander]

Pudge!!!!!

 

[McBride11]

Bounced it! Boo!!!

Jetes jinxed him

 

[LogansDad]

I like the anthem, but I don't like the pro forma use of patriotism.

Exactly how I feel.

 

[Ale Xander]

I like the anthem, but I don't like the pro forma use of patriotism.

Then I wonder what you thought about that . . .

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Please clap.

 

[Ale Xander]

I like the pro forma use of patriotism but don’t like the anthem

 

[LogansDad]

I don't mind it during big events like the World Series, Super Bowl, etc.

But playing before every single game all the way down the high school events is some indoctrination shit.

I meant Commander in Chief during 9-11 with the first pitch

 

[LogansDad]

Oh I forgot we had Smoltz for this. F

 

[Ale Xander]

I wish we could get Costas back for this

Going to my son’s games and if the lacrosse game on the next field over plays the anthem, the umps stop the game in mid inning and everyone has to stop and stand. A little much, IMO.

 

[InsideTheParker]

TX wins tonight, probably? Unless Gallen turns things around.

 

[Al Zarilla]

TX wins tonight, probably? Unless Gallen turns things around.

God only knows this postseason. Just have to watch and see.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Did that graphic say these are the two teams with the best fielding percentages this season? It was on and off so quick, I couldn't tell

 

[Ale Xander]

Eovaldi on pace to smash the record for putouts by a pitcher in a WS game

 

[LogansDad]

Eovaldi looks really, really sharp.

 

[loshjott]

Did that graphic say these are the two teams with the best fielding percentages this season? It was on and off so quick, I couldn't tell

It did.

Also, Strasburg was 5-0 in the 2019 postseason, best ever, but one was a relief win. Nathan could go 5-0 in starts tonight and potentially a sixth win later.

 

[LogansDad]

Yep. They are really great defensive teams.

 

[Ale Xander]

It did.

Could go 7-0 if maybe he gets a relief win in 7

 

[LogansDad]

Holy shit, that sinker is HOT

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

GOT HEEM!

Eovaldi looks dominant.

 

[JOBU]

Nate looks nasty. Miss that guy lots

 

[Al Zarilla]

Picture perfect swing Seager draws a walk.

 

[LogansDad]

Gallen looks awful

 

[derekson]

Carter batting third as a rookie

 

[derekson]

And he gets an RBI double!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Gallen's looked like a mere #4 starter lately.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The incomparable EVAN CARTER!

 

[Ale Xander]

Carter = stud

 

[LogansDad]

Carter batting third as a rookie

Carroll led off.

Carter did better.

 

[mauidano]

21 one years old and batting third in the World Series. This Kid!

 

[Al Zarilla]

They say the team that scores first always wins?

 

[LogansDad]

They say the team that scores first always wins?

The way Gallen looks, Texas might have an 8 run lead in 3 batters.

 

[mauidano]

And Garcia is tied for most Post Season RBI's!
