World Series Game 7: No Tomorrow

[bosockboy]

It's almost unfathomable how quick the hooks have become this postseason. So quick that some are complaining Dervish wasn't pulled sooner. This is a massive strategic change in the game that seems to have occurred in just 2 seasons.

Jack Morris would be rolling over in his grave - if he were, you know, dead.

The first quick hook I can remember like these was the Grady game, Torre yanked Clemens in the 2nd I believe.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Should have at least moved him down in the order.

Yes

 

[E5 Yaz]

Now there's a hook.

McCullers curve tonight was a lonely hunter in search of the strike zone

 

[glasspusher]

If his spot in the order comes up again in a big spot with runners on, I don't know how Roberts can't pinch hit for him. Kershaw would give him a better at bat than Bellinger right now.

I was thinking the same thing. At least put the ball in play.

Does Giles get the 4th?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

7 base runners in 3 innings for the Dodgers, and nobody scored.

 

[teddywingman]

The only thing that has made me happy in this game so far is JB Smoove on the mound.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Does Giles get the 4th?

The 4th what?

espn: Respected author & editor Ray Robinson, who wrote biographies of Lou Gehrig, Christy Mathewson, Tim McCarver & Knute Rockne died Wednesday at age 96.

One of these is not like the others

PTL!

As in I had to laugh

 

[Al Zarilla]

He’s in the cast again for the new Curb Your Enthusiasm series and funny as ever.

Rockne was a football guy

 

[Zupcic Fan]

They're gonna win, so it will go unnoticed, but Reddick has been just awful .

Scott Simon tweeted that as well.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Scott Simon tweeted that as well.

really? damn

 

[dhellers]

Is Maybin concievably worse than Reddict?

 

[santadevil]

Star Wars trailer!

Who Would we trade Devers for Bregman straight up? Hypothetical

I'm sure people are familiar with this site, but I just discovered it the other day. Nearly real time Statcast data.

Not the Astros.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Who Would we trade Devers for Bregman straight up? Hypothetical

I doubt either team would

Some local ambulance chaser lawyer in SC just had 3 separate commercials on during that commercial break. THREE!! How much do they discount these local spots. Wow.

 

[LogansDad]

George Springer just seems like an awesome fucking guy. Baseball (the world, really) needs more like him.

Three is crazy. Have done ad buys in the past with local affiliates where they get you to commit to a longer ad-flight and throw in a big sporting event ad as the cherry.

 

[staz]

YAY BELLINGER!

George Springer just seems like an awesome fucking guy. Baseball (the world, really) needs more like him.

In terms of Non Sox players, I have to say that he, Altuve and Bergman have gotten to top of my favorite players to watch list

 

[staz]

OMG LOOK AT THE CARS ALL STACKED UP makes me want to buys one!

 

[paulb0t]

Think that dude that bet $14m on this game is sweating yet? Or did he get Biff Trump's sports almanac?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Great AB by Seager

 

[DanoooME]

He bailed on game 7.

 

[VORP Speed]

Dodgers better start getting some back or this going to quickly slip away

 

[paulb0t]

He bailed on game 7.

Oh, Dodgers are fucked then.

 

[LogansDad]

Would love a Turner bomb here.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This lead is by no means Astro Pen proof

Funny, 3 ambulance chaser ads here in Michigan too.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

The next home run would make an even 500k that T Mobile would have to donate to hurricane recovery.

 

[DanoooME]

This lead is by no means Astro Pen proof

Especially if they bring in Liriano

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Turner is seeing like 600 pitches per AB

 

[Ale Xander]

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I would so pinch hit for him right now. Let's see if I'm smarter than Roberts.

 

[staz]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see these 2 teams in the WS next year too.

 

[Return of the Dewey]

Is Timberlake sitting in Mary Hart’s seat now?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Especially if they bring in Liriano

Oh boy...

 

[Deathofthebambino]

At least Bellinger won't hit into a double play.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Bellinger has to be thrilled with anyone besides McCullers on the mound.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see these 2 teams in the WS next year too.

People said the same thing last year. It just doesn't happen. Too much has to go right and too many other good teams.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Bellinger has to be thrilled with anyone besides McCullers on the mound.

I think he's looked even worse against lefties, which is amazingly hard to do. Pretty sure Liriano whiffed him already in the series too.

 

[staz]

I would so pinch hit for him right now. Let's see if I'm smarter than Roberts.

Adrian Gonzalez has to be shaking his head.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Liriano gets outs these days with spit, nail files and Vaseline. Hinch having to go to him is ungood.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Well, if you're writing the story of redemption, this is the AB where Bellinger comes through.
