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

[DeadlySplitter]

And that was plain unlucky

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

BROOKS JUNGINSON!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Sick play by that Carl Jung

 

[E5 Yaz]

He was waving him home way too long before putting up the stop sign.

Nah, it's the runner's responsibility to see what the sign is when he gets to the bag. When he got there, it was a stop sign.
Agree to disagree

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Walker should have looked up, but I don't understand the decision to send him in the first place, even if he changed his mind. That was a hold all the way. There was never a time when it seemed like he could make it.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Agree to disagree

Is civility allowed in game threads now?

One can always hope

Agree

Baserunners/humans aren't Corvette ZR1's, sign has to be there before the runner gets to the bag

 

[LogansDad]

Oh come on blue. That's a K.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

In the end, it doesn't matter. It's a playoff thing. If you just miss a home run leading off an inning in the playoffs you just never score.

 

[loshjott]

Oh come on blue. That's a K.

Again. Smallest zone in baseball they said.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Umps matter. That's the bottom line.

 

[Leskanic's Thread]

The broadcast is totally free to spend more time talking about game 7 in 2001, if they'd like...

 

[LogansDad]

Got away with one that first pitch to Semien.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Got away with one that first pitch to Semien.

Couldn't get away with another

 

[LogansDad]

Faaaaaaaahhhk

I was at a wedding reception in the Adirondacks, and that game was on. I was in a room with NYY fans, including my husband. I was the only one smiling.

 

[Ale Xander]

Rangers strike first

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Got away with one that first pitch to Semien.

But not the next mistake

 

[InsideTheParker]

CRAP.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Brent Strom with his best Dave Bush impression

 

[LogansDad]

Dave Bush mound visit special.

Fuck me.

 

[Ale Xander]

Seager makes it 3-0

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That was a no doubt no doubter. Sitting on that pitch from the rip.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Gory Seager!

 

[canderson]

Boom!

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Game.

 

[InsideTheParker]

They shouldn't have opened the roof, maybe.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

From 3rd base coach aided squander to down 3-0 with Semien getting on with 2 outs. That's an oof.

If the home plate ump had a real zone the inning would’ve ended before any runs.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Game.

Is this a wish? Because the game is 2.5 innings old.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Repeat after me, Dodger fans: "Why can't WE get guys like that?"

 

[Leskanic's Thread]

I was at a wedding reception in the Adirondacks, and that game was on. I was in a room with NYY fans, including my husband. I was the only one smiling.

I was watching in the shared house in Astoria, Queens, watching it with a buddy also from north of Boston and two housemates from Phoenix. We felt like the only four people in the entire city who were hooting and hollering. I'll never forget.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Arizona got the bulk of the close calls at the plate last game.

Robo umps soon nonetheless, please MLB. In the meantime, some type of challenge system would be nice

 

[E5 Yaz]

Boy, they aren't kidding about the small zone

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Maddux gets those calls. Mad Max, not so much, apparently.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

This might unironically be good for the Rangers.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This game just got a lot more interesting.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Damn

 

[derekson]

I thought Gray was starting tomorrow?

 

[InsideTheParker]

I had to mute Smoltz, so I lose track of the game. Scherzer is hurt?

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

I thought Gray was starting tomorrow?

Plans are out the window during the World Series I guess.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I thought Gray was starting tomorrow?

Tomorrow became today when Scherzer's back tightened up.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Yeah! by Usher into the Charge jingle lol. Quality keyboarding.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Gray is hanging shit.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Where did that miss, blue?!

 

[Catcher Block]

Ha, missed the strike three that had the entire plate, and then gifts a strike a full baseball outside.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

I know there are 3 other sports that are active tonight, but the lack of participation in a World Series thread is kinda sad.

 

[Max Power]

It's surprising that Evan Longoria's career seems to have outlasted Eva Longoria's.
