WS Game 7: A Curse Dies and a Curse Continues

I think you're spot on. Schwarber comes back, Zobrist takes over 2B.
Would be one of the easiest ways to speed up a game, with the benefit of not being one of those "alter the games rules dramatically" solutions.
I don't like the swinging on 3-0.
Oh jesus, it's Napoli. Good inning to tie the game, but that's all they are going to get.

I am all for replay to reverse calls so evidently wrong that it takes under 15 seconds.
His first error was egregious. He decided to stay on one leg and sling the ball when he had ample time to get his feet under him and make a solid throw. It was Canoville.
With 170ish years of non-championship teams, this has been a fantastic series to break one of those streaks.
No reason to keep him in after this inning if Lester really is able to go 2 innings.
But it would be like showing a picture of an elephant and a lion and asking which is which. Instant.
Nap hammered that. I'm in shock. Maybe that'll serve him right the next at bat. But he is just under a cloud right now.
Random: Jose Ramirez with chaw in his cheek totally reminds me of someone else (actor? athlete?) but I can't put my finger on who. Any ideas?
First error wasn't really physical when he had plenty of time to use proper technique on the throw.
I saw him slipping as he was fielding the ball and he made the split decision to make the throw from one knee. Its not like he got down there deliberately. The bare-handed catch attempt was bad. No excusing that. Yet its all sound and fury signifying nothing now...
Only 3 WS Game 7s have gone to extras. 1997 went 11 innings (Fla over Cle), 1991 went 10 innings (the Jack Morris game) and in 1924 Senators over Giants in 12.
Would love to see this go longer.

I can't remember a world series in which I didn't have a rooting interest that I enjoyed quite as much as this one. 2011 was pretty good, but the bad guys won in the end (screw you Cardinals! You owe us a lot of heartbreaking WS losses still). Angels over the San Francisco Bondses was fun but we've had to deal with Sanctimonious Scioscia ever scince. 1997 or 1991 I guess. But yeah, this WS has been a fucking barn-burner from the start.
