The 2021 World Series: Braves vs. Astros

[LogansDad]

Freeman is such a professional hitter. Absolutely spectacular.

 

[Gator4MVP88]

I guess clearing the pitcher last inning was the key.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

A walk leads to scoring more runs? Damn John Smoltz, you just made me rethink everything I thought I knew about baseball.

 

[LogansDad]

That was a really good pitch, even if Smoltz had no clue what the count was.

 

[Ale Xander]

Riles Rules

 

[Harry Hooper]

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Shit. Smoltz was correct. A walk did lead to a run.

 

[LogansDad]

That was not a good pitch.

 

[boxosII]

keep hitting, Braves

 

[joe dokes]

Listening on radio in front of a fire. Dan Shulman is so good that he makes Mendoza and Perez tolerable.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh, FFS

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Cheatcia is unraveling.

 

[LogansDad]

Duvall is dangerous here. Garcia isn't that effective high and Duvall loves the ball down.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Weak AB

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Bad AB.

 

[LogansDad]

Or not.

 

[Ale Xander]

That at bat did not smell like napalm.

 

[canderson]

Massive squander.

 

[Ale Xander]

Got one but still feels like a squander

 

[absintheofmalaise]

The D batters suck.

 

[LogansDad]

Too many pitchers in the lineup.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Massive squander.

He just kept pitching away off the far side of the plate.

 

[aksoxfan]

Why not try to steal home when he starts his ridiculous windup?

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Lurch isn't that fast.

 

[boxosII]

Got one but still feels like a squander

Booo! Radley

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

58 pitches: 29 strikes, 29 balls

 

[Ale Xander]

#3rdtime

 

[teddywingman]

WTF Dusty Baker?

Taking out a pitcher after 2 pitch/2 out at bats?

 

[joe dokes]

Radio guy...
Longest Atl. post season no-hit ness since

Derek Lowe 2010.

 

[LogansDad]

Rosario is ridiculous. There's no way that pitch should have ended up a base hit. It's like reverse physics or something.

[joe dokes]

Marwin.
He was a friend of mine.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Marwin in midseason form

 

[canderson]

No hitter through 5 and he’s done. Playoff baseball is bizarre.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

The Braves have two arm barn games coming up and Snitker's pulling Anderson?
That makes zero sense.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He's only thrown 39 strikes out of 76 pitches. He was sort of living on the edge already.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Snitker picked a bad time to start doing anal.

 

[Max Power]

Yeah, I'm an old man yelling at a cloud, but modern baseball is much less fun. Let the kid try to luck into the second World Series no hitter in history.

 

[joe dokes]

Pretty wild how this decision, in game 3 is so critical to the direction of the whole series.

 

[E5 Yaz]

76 pitches thru 5 innings ... he wasn't going 9

 

[Max Power]

76 pitches thru 5 innings ... he wasn't going 9

Maybe. He could get some quick outs and finish in 120 pitches. He has 5 months to rest afterwards.

 

[E5 Yaz]

They need him to start another game in this Series ... which is a helluva lot more important that trying for some historical oddity

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Siddown.

 

[rajendra82]

Anderson was kind of shaky throughout. I like the move.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Not even close, blue.

 

[canderson]

Yikes what happened?

Edit: right above the ankle ouch

 

[Max Power]

I know who Johnny Vander Meer is, but I have no clue who he pitched for. Being a historical oddity is pretty cool. But I say that as a fan of a team that has four World Series wins in the last 17 years.

 

[rajendra82]

That can’t feel good in 50 degree chill.

 

[rajendra82]

Umpires suck.

 

[joe dokes]

That can’t feel good in 50 degree chill.

Unless you have no soul.
